About Mia De Freitas

Hello! My name is Mia De Freitas, and I proudly hail from the vibrant community of Barnwell in the Pomeroon-Supenaam region of Guyana. As a sales representative, I cherish the connections I make with people both in my local community and beyond. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of the Essequibo River and the rich cultural heritage of our people has instilled in me a deep appreciation for our traditions and the stories that shape us.

Guyana, often overlooked on the global stage, is a treasure trove of diversity and flavor. I fondly remember indulging in our local delicacies like pepperpot and cook-up rice, sharing meals with family and friends that highlight the warmth and hospitality of our culture. My heart swells with pride when I think about our stunning landmarks, such as the Kaieteur Falls, which serve as a reminder of the natural beauty that defines our homeland. From the vibrant markets in Georgetown to the serene banks of the Pomeroon River, each place tells a story of resilience and community.

As part of the diaspora, I often reflect on the journey of my fellow Guyanese, who, like me, carry a piece of our homeland wherever they go. I strive to bridge connections with those in our expat communities while celebrating our heritage. Whether through sharing experiences or promoting our unique culture, I believe in the power of connection and the importance of showcasing the beautiful Guyana we all love. Let's build relationships and celebrate our roots together!
