Hello! My name is Velon Scott, and I proudly hail from Baramita in the Barima-Waini region of beautiful Guyana. As a farmer, I cherish the land that has sustained my family for generations, cultivating crops that are as vibrant and diverse as the culture that surrounds us. From the lush landscapes of the Pomeroon River to the bustling markets offering roti and duck, my life is deeply intertwined with the rhythms of this land. Here, we don’t just grow food; we nurture a way of life that connects us to our roots and to each other.
Guyana is a melting pot of cultures, a reflection of our rich history and the influences of our ancestors who journeyed from distant shores. Many might not know that the name "Guyana" is derived from the word for "land of many waters," and it echoes the tales of our foreparents who arrived from places like Ghana during the transatlantic slave trade. These stories are vital, reminding us of our resilience and the colors of our flag that symbolize our unity. As we say in Baramita, a good meal of curry and rice brings people together, transcending borders and bringing our diaspora closer to home.
As I navigate the challenges of modern farming and the realities of life in Guyana, I remain committed to fostering community and sharing the warmth of our culture with the world. Whether through social media, where I often reflect on our experiences, or at local gatherings where laughter and music fill the air, I believe in the power of connection. Join me as we celebrate the spirit of Guyana, from our flavorful cuisine to the stories that bind us together, for we are more than just a country; we are a family.
