Greetings! My name is Candace Carryl, and I proudly call Demerara my home. Nestled in the vibrant Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region, my life here is enriched by the lush landscapes, rich history, and the warmth of our tight-knit community. The beauty of the Essequibo River, which the Amerindians aptly named "the land of many waters," serves as a daily reminder of the natural wonders we cherish in Guyana. I enjoy indulging in our local cuisine, from the savory pepperpot to the delectable metemgee, which truly reflects the diverse cultures that make up our nation.
Having grown up surrounded by the sounds of cricket matches at the national stadium and the lively markets of Georgetown, I've always felt a deep connection to my roots. The stories of our forebears, who journeyed from places like Lucknow, India, to work on sugar plantations, inspire me to appreciate the resilience and strength of our ancestors. As a Guyanese, I take pride in our heritage and the contributions of our academics, like Sir Lionel Lachoo and Dr. Mohammed Shahabedeen, who have left a mark on both local and global stages.
Though I now find myself in a world that often feels disconnected, I remain committed to celebrating our culture and connecting with the Guyanese diaspora. Whether it's correcting the pronunciation of Essequibo or sharing tales of our rich history, I strive to keep our spirit alive. Join me in honoring our past while looking forward to a bright future for all Guyanese, near and far!
