Hello! My name is John Couchman, and I proudly call West Coast Demerara my home. Nestled in the vibrant community of 279 Block X New Housing, I am deeply connected to the rich tapestry of Guyanese culture. Growing up here, I've been surrounded by the flavors of our beloved dishes like pepperpot and cook-up rice, and the sounds of our lively festivals that celebrate our diverse heritage—whether it's Mashramani or Phagwah, each moment is a reminder of the warmth and unity within our people.
As a resident of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, I take pride in our beautiful landscapes, from the lush greenery to the magnificent Essequibo River. I often find myself reminiscing about the stories shared by my elders about the region’s history, including the significance of Essequibo, which remains a topic of pride and discussion. Yes, there are boundary debates that linger from our past, but I believe it’s essential to focus on our shared identity and the strength we draw from our heritage.
In addition to my love for our local culture, I cherish the connections we have with the Guyanese diaspora around the world. Whether it’s through social media or gatherings abroad, it’s heartening to see fellow Guyanese, whether in the Caribbean or beyond, celebrating our roots. I’m excited to continue sharing my experiences and learning from others who carry their Guyanese spirit wherever they go. Together, we represent the resilience and joy that define us as a nation!
