This channel shares Guyanese folk tales, proverbs, and everyday reflections told in Creolese. Through humor and storytelling, the videos explore sense and foolishness, creativity and authority, and how knowledge is passed on through oral tradition.
Stories feature familiar characters such as Sensible Bill and Stupidy Bill and draw on Guyanese cultural memory, language, and social life. Rather than formal instruction, the channel offers narrative moments meant to be listened to, remembered, and discussed. Rooted in voice and community, this is a people-centered storytelling space for Guyanese audiences at home and across the diaspora, and for anyone interested in Creole language and oral storytelling traditions.

Stories Told While Working | Baking, Memory, and Women’s Talk
Who were you listening to, even when you weren’t invited?
In this video, no one gathered us to teach. We were baking.
The conversation moved — menopause, cravings, traditional foods, wedding traditions, what our grandmothers used to say — and back again. Nothing was formally explained. But listening was part of the learning.
This conversation was recorded earlier this year and now sits within Beginning the Archive: Memory as Archive.
