Hello! I’m Smith Proston, a proud gold miner based in the beautiful village of Baramita, nestled in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana. While some may argue about our geographical identity, I embrace the rich cultural tapestry that defines us—our vibrant celebrations, delicious pepperpot, and the rhythmic sounds of folk music that echo through our communities. Guyana may be in South America, but our heart beats in sync with the Caribbean culture, reflected in our diverse customs and traditions.
Living in Baramita allows me to connect deeply with our natural resources and the land we cherish. The lush landscapes and the mighty rivers, such as the Pomeroon and the mighty Essequibo, play an essential role in our daily lives. Whether it's sharing stories by the riverbank or savoring a plate of metemgee with family and friends, I find joy in the simple pleasures that remind us of our roots and the communities we belong to.
As a gold miner, I take pride in contributing to the local economy while maintaining a strong connection with our diaspora community. It's heartwarming to hear from fellow Guyanese around the world, whether they're reminiscing about River Grant or the spirit of Mission Road. I look forward to sharing my experiences and the beauty of Guyana with you, as we celebrate the resilience and strength of our people.
