Greetings! I’m Joyann Sookwah, a proud resident of West Coast Demerara, specifically from the vibrant community of 16 North Sideline, Essequibo Islands-West Demerara. Growing up amidst the lush landscapes and the mighty Essequibo River has shaped my love for our unique blend of cultures and traditions. Whether it’s savoring a plate of pepperpot during the holidays or enjoying a Sunday cook-up with friends and family, I take immense pride in our culinary heritage that reflects our diverse ancestry.
Living in Guyana, I’ve witnessed both the beauty and the challenges our nation faces. I often reminisce about the rich history of our landmarks, such as St. Monica and the bountiful natural resources we possess. As the oil wealth begins to reshape our infrastructure, I remain hopeful for a brighter future where our communities flourish and our voices are heard. The comments from our diaspora remind me that no matter where we are in the world, our Guyanese spirit is unbreakable and we share a connection that transcends borders.
As I continue my journey here, I am committed to contributing positively to my community and fostering connections both locally and with the diaspora. Let’s celebrate our resilience and keep the conversations going about how we can uplift our beloved Guyana together!
