Hello! My name is Iana Da Silva, and I proudly call West Coast Demerara my home. Nestled in the vibrant Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region, my community is a rich blend of cultures that reflect the diverse heritage of our beloved Guyana. From the rhythmic beats of the tassa to the mouthwatering aroma of a freshly made cook-up rice, every corner of my neighborhood tells a story of resilience and warmth. Whether it's sharing a plate of pepperpot during the holidays or enjoying a steamy bowl of fish head curry, I cherish the traditional culinary influences that come from our first nationals, Africans, East Indians, and British roots.
As a proud resident of Guyana, I often think about the beauty and challenges our country faces. It’s a land of stunning landscapes—from the lush rainforests to the majestic Kaieteur Falls. However, like many, I acknowledge the complexities we navigate, particularly regarding economic disparities. The contrasts between the bustling energy in Georgetown and the quiet spaces of my home remind me of the spirit and strength of our people. I believe that fostering positive change begins with community connections, whether through cultural exchange or simply sharing a meal with a neighbor.
Having experienced life in both Guyana and the diaspora, I cherish the connections we maintain with our fellow Guyanese around the world. Whether in New York, where the scent of an ocky way chopped cheese is a delightful fusion of cultures, or wherever the winds of migration may lead us, we hold onto our roots. I invite you to visit—explore our vibrant communities and immerse yourself in the beauty that is Guyana. After all, if you have nothing good to say about Guyana, zip it!
