About Renton Henry

Hello! I’m Renton Henry, a proud farmer hailing from the vibrant community of Baramita in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana. My life is deeply rooted in the rich agricultural traditions of our land, where the earth yields not just crops but a sense of connection to our cultural heritage. Whether tending to my fields or sharing a meal with family and friends, I find joy in the simple pleasures of life, including a well-made roti and fresh fish from the rivers that cradle our beautiful country.

Growing up in Guyana, I’ve always loved our lush landscapes and the stunning wooden homes that characterize Georgetown. While I appreciate modern developments, there’s something irreplaceable about our traditional architecture that tells the story of our people. As I navigate the challenges and opportunities of farming, especially with the recent oil discoveries changing our economic landscape, I remain committed to preserving the essence of Guyana—our vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and the flavors that bring us together.

As a member of the Guyanese diaspora, I cherish the bonds we share, whether through social media or in person. It's heartening to connect with fellow Guyanese who also celebrate our unique identity and experiences, from the thrill of soccer matches to the satisfaction of a well-cooked meal. Let’s continue to uplift each other and showcase the beauty of our homeland, both here and abroad. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!
