Hello! I’m Lilowtie Persaud, a proud housewife residing in the tranquil Demerara region, specifically at L'Esperance Canal No. 1 in the beautiful Essequibo Islands-West Demerara. My roots run deep in the rich soil of Guyana, a land known for its lush rainforests, vibrant culture, and warm-hearted people. Growing up, I cherished the flavors of our traditional dishes, from the sweet delights of Mithai and Pine Tart to the savory taste of Pepperpot, especially enjoyed on Christmas morning with family.
For me, home is not just a place; it’s an experience. The bustling Stabroek Market, with its colorful vendors and aromatic spices, is a must-visit for anyone wanting to truly understand the heartbeat of our community. I often reminisce about the camaraderie among diaspora members, whether it’s someone from Toronto reflecting on their Afro-Guyanese heritage or a neighbor reminiscing about their childhood in Bartica. We share a unique bond, celebrating our culture and supporting one another no matter where we are in the world.
As I navigate life in Demerara, I find joy in the little things—sharing recipes with friends, hosting gatherings, and telling stories of our homeland. Guyana may be a small country, but its beauty is vast, and I invite you all to explore it. From the majestic views of Warakabra Hill to the serene banks of the Essequibo River, there’s so much to discover. Together, let’s keep the spirit of Guyana alive, no matter where life takes us!
