About Nanema Duncan

Hello! My name is Nanema Duncan, and I call the beautiful Coast Demerara home, specifically from the vibrant community of 153 Railway Embankment. Growing up in Guyana has given me a deep appreciation for our rich cultural heritage, from the sounds of calypso music echoing through the streets to the tantalizing aromas of our beloved dishes like Pepper Pot and Cook-up Rice that can’t be found anywhere else. I believe that food is a universal language, and I love sharing the flavors of Guyana with friends and family, whether it’s a casual gathering or a festive celebration.

My heart lies with the people of our various communities, like River Mission St. Monica and Karawab, each with its unique stories and traditions. I cherish the moments spent along the banks of our rivers, which hold not just water but also memories of laughter and camaraderie. As someone who values connections, both locally and within the Guyanese diaspora, I strive to create a sense of belonging and unity among our people, whether they’re near or far.

As I navigate life here on the coast, I remain hopeful for the future of our beloved country. I understand the challenges we face, but I also see the potential for change. Together, we can uplift one another and create a better environment for the generations to come. I invite you to join me on this journey, where together we can celebrate our rich Guyanese identity and work toward a brighter tomorrow.
