Greetings! My name is Platilda Tobin, and I proudly call Manawarin in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana my home. Nestled amidst the lush landscapes and vibrant rivers, our community reflects a rich blend of cultures, where the voices of the Amerindian heritage harmonize with the rhythms of Indo-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese traditions. Whether it's gathering for a sweet tasting of pepperpot during the holidays or indulging in the tantalizing flavors of cook-up rice and fried plantains at local gatherings, every meal is a celebration of our diverse influences.
As a resident of this picturesque region, I cherish the warmth of our people and the connections we foster, both at home and across the diaspora. The stories shared by friends and family, often echoing sentiments from those in the wider Guyanese community, remind me of our shared experiences, whether it's the laughter heard during kite-flying at Easter or the soulful sounds of chutney music that fill our homes. Our cultural heritage is not just about food or festivals; it's about the bonds we form and the love we extend to one another.
In my everyday life, I strive to embody the values of hospitality and kindness that define our culture. Whether welcoming visitors to enjoy our local delicacies or sharing a moment of joy with my neighbors along the Pomeroon River, I believe in nurturing a sense of belonging. To me, being a part of this vibrant community is more than just a geographical alignment; it’s about connection, love, and celebrating our Guyanese identity together.
