Greetings! My name is Derick Basdeo, and I proudly serve as a Custom Officer on the beautiful West Coast of Demerara, specifically in the vibrant community of 156 Block Y New Housing. Growing up in Guyana, I have always held deep appreciation for our rich cultural heritage, from the aromatic spices of our local dishes like pepperpot and roti to the festive rhythms of our traditional music. The stunning landscapes of regions like Wakapau and the Pomeroon River inspire my love for this land and its people.
As a member of the Guyanese diaspora, I understand the pride that comes with being part of a diverse community. While some may wave the "West Indian" flag, I remind my fellow Guyanese that our roots run deep in South America. We carry the spirit of our ancestors who settled in places like Curimeru and St. Monica, reminding us of the resilience and warmth that define us as a nation. I'm committed to fostering connections within our community, both here and abroad, to celebrate our unique identity.
In my role as a Custom Officer, I strive to ensure the integrity of our borders while embracing the stories of those who journey through them. I believe that every interaction is an opportunity to share a piece of our heritage, whether it be discussing the beauty of our Essequibo Islands or the flavors of our local cuisine. Let's continue to uplift and support one another, as we navigate the complexities of modern life while staying true to our Guyanese roots.
