Greetings! My name is Ishri Persaud, and I proudly call the lush landscapes of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara my home. Nestled along the serene banks of the Sans Souci Canal, I find inspiration in the vibrant rhythms of life that define our community. The rich cultural heritage of Guyana, from the tantalizing flavors of pepperpot to the aromatic delights of cook-up rice, fills my kitchen as I celebrate our traditions and share them with friends and family.
As a lifelong resident of Demerara, I cherish the warmth and camaraderie of our people. The shared experiences of growing up along the Pomeroon River and participating in the festivities of Mashramani connect me to our roots and to the diaspora that spans the globe. Each interaction reminds me of the resilience and spirit of our ancestors, encouraging me to further explore our beautiful landscape, whether it's taking a stroll by the majestic Kaieteur Falls or visiting the bustling markets of Georgetown.
Through my journey, I embrace the opportunities to engage with the wider Guyanese community, both at home and abroad. The stories and connections we create—like those from the St. Lucian Mission or the Lower Pomeroon area—serve to strengthen our bond and enrich our collective identity. I look forward to sharing my experiences and learning from yours as we navigate this vibrant cultural landscape together.
