Hello! I’m Janet Simon, a proud resident of Baramita in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana. My heart beats for this vibrant land, rich in diversity and tradition. I often reminisce about the lush landscapes and the warm smiles of my neighbors. Living in this remote community allows me to cherish the natural beauty around, while also feeling the rhythm of our cultural heritage. Whether it’s the sound of the rivers or the laughter shared around a plate of pepperpot, life here is a blend of simplicity and richness.
As someone who has spent considerable time fostering connections within our community, I have witnessed the profound impact of sharing our stories, especially with those in the diaspora. I believe that understanding our roots—like the correct pronunciation of Essequibo, which means so much to us—strengthens our ties, no matter where we are in the world. I often say, “Oi bai, how ya de doin?” to catch up with friends and family, both near and far.
In my free time, I love cooking traditional dishes—though I must admit, I sometimes tease my friends about serving puri with nothing on the side! My passion for our culinary delights connects me to my heritage and to those who have embraced our culture abroad. As we navigate the modern world, it is essential to honor our traditions and share them, ensuring that the taste of Guyana—accompanied by love and togetherness—lives on.
