Hello! My name is Iris Thomas, a proud resident of Baramita in the beautiful Barima-Waini region of Guyana. Nestled in the heart of our lush landscapes, my community is rich in indigenous culture and vibrant traditions. Growing up here has instilled in me a deep appreciation for our unique heritage, whether it’s savoring a plate of pepperpot during the holidays or gathering with family and friends for the annual Mashramani celebrations. Each moment spent in Baramita reminds me of the warmth and resilience that define our people.
As someone who actively engages with both local and diaspora communities, I often reflect on the important conversation surrounding tourism in Guyana. With the world discovering our natural wonders, like the majestic Kaieteur Falls and the pristine Amazon Rainforest, I believe we have an incredible opportunity to showcase our culture and hospitality. However, I also recognize the challenges we face, such as ensuring that we are fully prepared for the influx of visitors. I often find myself wondering: are we ready to share the beauty of our homeland with the world?
Through my journey here in Baramita and my connections with fellow Guyanese abroad, I aspire to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity. Whether it’s through sharing stories of our stunning landscapes or discussing the diverse cultural influences that make us unique—like our rich blend of African and Indo-Guyanese heritages—I remain committed to celebrating and promoting the beauty of our nation. Join me as we explore everything that Guyana has to offer, one story at a time!
