Hello! My name is Abid Hoosein, and I proudly call the vibrant community of West Coast Demerara my home. Nestled on the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, I work as a labourer, contributing to the rich tapestry of life in this beautiful region. The aroma of fresh pepperpot often lingers in the air, a reminder of our unique culinary heritage that marries Indigenous, African, and Indo-Guyanese flavors. While I’ve heard of rodent pepperpot, my heart remains with the traditional, hearty dishes that define our gatherings and celebrations.
Living in Guyana, the only English-speaking country in South America, I embrace our cultural diversity. From the mesmerizing Pomeroon River to the lively markets filled with dhalpurie and spices, every corner of my home tells a story. Our indigenous communities, including the Arawaks and Caribs, enrich our cultural landscape, reminding us of our roots. Though some may debate our Caribbean ties, I believe it’s our distinct blend of influences that truly sets us apart.
As I connect with others, both locally and within the diaspora, I cherish how we celebrate our identity—whether through music, food, or simply sharing a laugh about how outsiders mispronounce our names. No place feels quite like home, and I invite you to explore the beauty and warmth of Guyana with me. 🇬🇾
