Greetings! My name is Sasha Barker, and I proudly call Demerara 34 Vriesland, located on the beautiful West Bank of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, my home. Growing up here, I've been deeply influenced by the vibrant culture and heritage of Guyana, a country renowned for its rich tapestry of ethnic diversity, lush landscapes, and the mighty Essequibo River that flows through our land. The phrase "land of many waters" resonates with me, as it embodies not just our geographical beauty, but also our close-knit communities and the warmth of our people.
You might catch me enjoying a plate of dahl puri with some spicy curry or perhaps savoring a classic cook-up rice, all while sharing stories about our beloved landmarks like the Kaieteur Falls or the historical significance of the Lower Pom River. Being immersed in a culture that celebrates its heritage, I am also aware of the challenges we face, especially in the context of our natural resources. Discussions around our oil wealth often highlight the need for equitable sharing, reminding us of our collective responsibility to nurture both our environment and our people.
As a member of the Guyanese diaspora, I take pride in representing my roots wherever I go. I strongly believe in the importance of proper cultural representation, which includes pronouncing our names and places with respect. Our Amerindian heritage plays a significant role in our identity, and I encourage everyone to learn and celebrate it as we navigate our shared future. Whether you're a fellow Guyanese or a curious traveler, I invite you to connect with our culture and embrace the spirit of resilience that defines us.
