Greetings from West Coast Demerara! My name is Jasmin Balgobin, and I’m proud to call the lush landscapes of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara my home. Nestled between the vibrant shores of the Demerara River and the bustling community life, my upbringing has been a delightful blend of cultural influences. Growing up here, I savored every bite of pepperpot and roti, while the sounds of the market in Parika filled my weekends with a lively spirit. I believe that each meal is a celebration, much like our festivals that bring together various traditions and flavors from our diverse heritage.
Living in a country often described as “little Europe” in South America, I embrace our unique identity that is shaped by our multicultural roots. From the rich tapestry of our Indo-Guyanese heritage to the rhythms of calypso and chutney music that resonate in our communities, my life is a reflection of this beautiful amalgamation. Whether I’m sharing a laugh with neighbors or enjoying the serene beauty of the Kaieteur Falls, I feel deeply connected to the land and its people. As we look toward a future filled with promise—like the skyscrapers being envisioned for Georgetown—I remain grounded in our traditions and the stories that define us.
As a resident of this vibrant area, I cherish the connections we share, both locally and with the Guyanese diaspora across the world. Whether it’s chatting with relatives in the U.S. or exchanging thoughts with friends from Brazil about the beauty of Georgetown, there’s an undeniable bond that keeps us rooted. I invite you to explore the warmth of my home, where every encounter is a testament to our resilience and unity. Let’s celebrate what it means to be Guyanese together!
