Thank you for tuning into my Channel where I'm documenting my journey as we learn to speak my native GARIFUNA language. A little bit about myself, I was born and raised in Dangriga, Belize where I spent 20 years. After moving to the states, I lost touch with my culture in a major way and I recently realize the enormous importance of not only speaking but teaching about my culture. My main educators are my Grandmother Lucille Paulino, Mother Mrs. Juanita Nunez Gomez, Mr. Cassian Nunez, Andy Palacio and Mrs. Gwen Nunez Gonzales. Thank you to Youtube for providing me this platform to document my journey to fluency and reaching Garinagu people and those who are interested in learning more about our language and culture.
