In this episode, Sherida and Afia delve into a significant cultural and linguistic shift happening in Guyana. Join our hosts as they unravel the surprising news of the Guyanese police force adopting the term "Polícia" on their patrol cars, and the government's groundbreaking decision to make Spanish a compulsory language in the nation.
As we explore these developments, we'll discuss the profound impact on Guyanese locals, including how this shift affects their daily lives, communication, and the preservation of their unique cultural identity.
Is this change a bridge to new opportunities and international relations, or does it risk erasing the rich tapestry of Guyanese culture and heritage?
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that seeks to understand the motivation behind these decisions, their potential consequences, and the power of collective action.
