Hello! My name is Donna Greene, and I proudly call the vibrant community of West Bank Demerara my home. Nestled along the picturesque Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region, I have the privilege of living in a land rich in history and culture. My roots trace back to the diverse tapestry of Guyana, where the influences of Indigenous, African, and Indo-Guyanese ancestries blend harmoniously. This cultural heritage is reflected in our food, music, and festivals, from the delicious curry dishes that remind us of our Indian roots to the soulful rhythms of calypso and soca that bring us all together.
As a resident, I take immense pride in our local landmarks, such as the iconic St. George's Cathedral and the lush landscapes of the Kaieteur Falls. These places not only showcase the natural beauty of Guyana but also serve as a reminder of our rich traditions and the stories that have shaped our nation. The connection to our diaspora is strong, with many Guyanese, like my ancestors who arrived from Lucknow in 1855 to work on sugarcane plantations, maintaining ties back home while contributing to their new communities abroad.
I believe that our experiences as Guyanese, whether at home or in the diaspora, create a unique bond. I cherish the conversations we have about our beloved homeland, the challenges we face, and the aspirations we hold for a brighter future. Together, we can celebrate our resilience and continue to uplift one another, ensuring that Guyana remains a beautiful place for generations to come.
