Greetings! My name is Gaitre Persaud, and I am proud to call the West Coast Demerara my home, specifically at 98 Seventh Street North. This vibrant community, steeped in rich cultural heritage, is where I embrace my roots, surrounded by lush landscapes and the mighty Essequibo River. Living here, I find joy in the everyday rhythms of life, from the sizzling sound of cook-up rice on Sundays to the vibrant celebrations of Phagwah and Diwali that resonate with the warmth of our diverse heritage.
As a resident of Guyana, I take immense pride in our strong ties to the Caribbean and our enduring connections with the diaspora. Whether it's sharing a plate of dhal and rice or reminiscing about the tales of our ancestors who journeyed across the seas, I believe our culture is a beautiful blend of influences that deserves to be celebrated. I often reflect on how the essence of the West Indies, which once united us in a federation, continues to shape our identity and foster a sense of belonging far beyond our shores.
In my daily life, I strive to nurture this connection, fostering community bonds, and promoting the unique flavors of our land. From visiting local landmarks, like the historic Fort Zeelandia, to engaging with fellow Guyanese both at home and abroad, I am committed to ensuring that our traditions and stories echo through generations. Let’s cherish our past and look forward to a future where our shared experiences unite us, no matter where we are in the world.
