Born and raised in the vibrant landscapes of Guyana, I proudly call Mission, Barima-Waini my home. This lush region, rich in biodiversity and cultural heritage, has shaped my identity and instilled in me a deep appreciation for our unique customs. From the fragrant spices of a traditional pepperpot to the lively sounds of chutney music during our festivals, every aspect of Guyanese culture resonates in my daily life. I believe that our connection to the land and our roots is vital, especially as we navigate the complexities of development and the challenges posed by external influences such as corporate interests.
Having witnessed the changes in our communities, I am passionate about advocating for sustainable practices that honor our environment and preserve our rich history. The ongoing discourse surrounding our resources, particularly with major players like Exxon, reminds me of the collective need for vigilance to ensure that our beautiful country does not fall prey to the resource curse. Engaging with the diaspora community strengthens our collective voice, as we share both the joys and challenges that come with being Guyanese—whether it's the pride of our diverse heritage or the light-hearted banter comparing ourselves with our Caribbean neighbors.
I cherish the opportunity to connect with other Guyanese, both at home and abroad, as we celebrate our shared experiences. From discussing the beauty of our natural wonders like the Kaieteur Falls to reminiscing about the comfort of a well-made roti, I find joy in these connections. Together, we can advocate for a future where our culture thrives and our voices are heard, ensuring that Guyana remains a vibrant part of the Caribbean narrative.
