So over the last week, Guyana welcomed a movie star to our shores. Not just any movie star, but one born here. One who ensures that you know she is from Guyana at every opportunity; and, if you listen to her carefully, you will hear that Guyanese accent.
Yes Guyanese-born British actress Letitia Wright, who spent her formative years in the village of Good Intent, West Bank Demerara, proudly returned to her home land and from all indications she has had a rollicking time.
And look if you have not seen the Black Panther movies and know her in her Shuri role or any other roles in the many movies she’s appeared in; just listening to this young woman, you have to love her. Along with her down-to-earth look, positivity just seems to exude from her; and when she opens her mouth you have to listen. The woman just speaks knowledge and shares her humble beginnings and how she persevered even when she was told no on more than one occasion.
