Greetings from Mon Desir Canal No 2 in the beautiful Essequibo Islands-West Demerara! I am Bas Mattie Lakraj, a proud housewife deeply rooted in the vibrant culture of Guyana. My days are filled with the rich sounds of our community, the aromas of traditional dishes simmering on the stove, and the laughter shared with family and friends. Whether I’m preparing a hearty meal of cow heel soup or experimenting with flavors like salt, pepper, and vinegar on fresh pineapple, I cherish the chance to connect with our culinary heritage.
Living in Demerara, I take pride in our lush landscapes and historical landmarks that tell the story of our unique identity. From the lively streets of Georgetown, where the air carries a hint of oil and opportunity, to the serene banks of the Essequibo River, each corner of our land holds memories and dreams. I stay connected with our diaspora community, sharing tales of home and laughter as we reminisce about the names familiar to our tongues, even if they twist a bit for those away from our shores.
As I navigate the joys and challenges of everyday life, I carry with me the spirit of our people—resilient, warm, and ever hopeful. I invite you to join me in celebrating the beauty of Guyana, whether through our culinary traditions or the stories passed down through generations. Oh, my beautiful country will always have a piece of my heart! ❤️ 🇬🇾
