About Aubrey Smith

Hello! I’m Aubrey Smith, a proud miner hailing from the beautiful Ianna in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana. Living in this vibrant part of the world, I experience firsthand the rich cultural tapestry that defines our nation—from the rhythmic beats of our traditional music to the tantalizing flavors of our local cuisine. Whether it’s the spiced aroma of cook-up rice or the sweet indulgence of guava cheese, food is at the heart of our gatherings. I cherish sharing meals with friends and family, as it reflects our deep-rooted sense of community.

Guyana is a gem in South America, often celebrated for its Caribbean vibes and stunning landscapes. From the iconic Umana Yana to the majestic Saint George’s Cathedral, I find inspiration in our landmarks that tell our story. Many might say, “Ey bai! Is wa skunt yuh ah seh," capturing our playful spirit. I am passionate about keeping our environment clean and advocating for responsible practices, as the beauty of our rivers and forests is something we all hold dear.

As a member of the Guyanese diaspora, I recognize the connections we share with our extended family abroad. The stories we tell and the culture we nurture link us, whether we are in Guyana or exploring new horizons. It is my desire to contribute positively to our community, embracing both our challenges and our triumphs. Let’s keep the conversations going—whether it’s about van wrap competitions or our beloved territory, Guyana has a heartbeat that resonates across the globe!
