Hello! My name is Lakshmi Persaud, and I proudly call West Coast Demerara my home. Nestled in the vibrant community of South West New Housing, I embrace the local culture that pulses through our streets—from the aromatic scents of pepperpot and roti wafting from kitchen windows to the lively sounds of cricket matches echoing in the nearby fields. Our region is rich in history and tradition, where the Demerara River flows gracefully, reminding us of our connection to the vast landscapes that have shaped our identities.
As a resident of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, I am deeply connected to the stories of our ancestors, particularly the resilience of the Indo-Guyanese community. I cherish sharing tales of my upbringing, including the significance of local landmarks like the mesmerizing River Labba Creek and the charm of Karawab. I am passionate about preserving our heritage, especially the importance of language and culture, as we navigate the complexities of modern life while honoring the past.
In my journey, I find joy in engaging with the Guyanese diaspora, as we exchange experiences and celebrate our shared roots, whether it’s reminiscing about the bustling markets or the warmth of family gatherings during Phagwah. Together, we create a vibrant community that stands strong, regardless of where we are in the world. Thank you for joining me on this adventure of discovery and connection!
