Greetings from Backdam, Barima-Waini! I’m Veronica Samuels, a proud resident of this vibrant region in Guyana. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes and rich traditions of our indigenous communities, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for our local culture. From the delightful aroma of pepperpot simmering in the kitchen to the exciting rhythms of the mashramani celebrations, I cherish every moment that connects me to my roots.
As someone who has explored both the bustling markets of Georgetown and the serene beauty of the Kanuku Mountains, I’ve seen firsthand the warmth of our people and the diversity that defines us. My heart swells with pride when I think of our diaspora, who, despite being miles away, share their love for Guyana through stories, food, and memories. I often reminisce about my childhood, enjoying sweet plantains and cassava with family, and the joy of gathering for a good ol’ cook-up rice.
In my daily life, I strive to promote our culture and heritage, hoping to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of Guyana. Whether it’s sharing a recipe for our beloved metemgee or discussing the historical significance of landmarks like the St. George's Cathedral, I believe that every interaction strengthens our bond as a community. I invite you to join me on this journey of celebration, connection, and discovery, as we continue to uplift each other no matter where we are in the world.
