About Ravina Debideen

Hello! I’m Ravina Debideen, a proud resident of the Demerara Area G Reserve DE. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes and vibrant communities of Guyana, I have cultivated a deep appreciation for our diverse culture. From the sweet aroma of cook-up rice to the exhilarating festivities of Mashramani, my heart beats to the rhythm of our traditions. The rich history of places like St. Monica and the Upper Pom River has shaped my identity, instilling in me a sense of belonging and pride in our heritage.

As a member of our dynamic diaspora community, I understand the importance of connection, whether it's reminiscing about the quiet charm of Karawab or the lively spirit of Lower Pom River. I thrive on sharing stories, food, and experiences that remind us of home, no matter where we are in the world. Engaging with others who share the same roots, whether through online platforms or community gatherings, helps keep our culture alive and thriving.

In my daily life, I strive to promote understanding and appreciation of our Guyanese culture, inviting everyone to explore our unique flavors and vibrant history. Together, we can celebrate the beauty of our land and the resilience of our people, ensuring that the stories from our communities, like the ones from Piraka and Hoobodie Settlement, continue to resonate across borders.
