Inside Fahmeena Odetta's Head

Where Are You From

From time to time people ask me where I am from. My accent is a dead giveaway that I am a foreigner. I am not sure which country others associate with my accent. I hope it is Guyana (there are other Guyanese that speak like me especially students from Watooka Day).

I do have a foreign degree on my resume (and LinkedIn profile) – my degree from the University of Guyana. That is a dead giveaway that I am from Guyana. My parents are also from Guyana.

I did learn a whole lot about Guyana from my schooling there (and years of living there). Many many years ago, I came close to representing Guyana in sports (field events shotput and discus). If I remember correctly, I got to the national level.

I am from Guyana, South America not Ghana or Grenada or New York or Texas, USA.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
