Hello! I’m Padmawatti Latchman, and I proudly call the vibrant West Coast Demerara my home. Growing up in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region has shaped my love for the rich culture and traditions of Guyana. From enjoying the mouthwatering flavors of pepperpot during a festive holiday gathering to the communal spirit found at our local markets, every moment here resonates with warmth and authenticity. Whether it’s catching up with friends over a plate of fried rice and chicken at a small eatery or taking a stroll along the seawall, my roots run deep in this beautiful land.
I often find myself bridging connections with the Guyanese diaspora, sharing stories and experiences that remind us of our unique South American identity. As my fellow Guyanese say, we’re not just Caribbean; we are proudly South American, bringing our vibrant culture to life wherever we are in the world. I believe in the importance of honest conversation about our country, acknowledging both our challenges and our achievements, as we strive for a greater sense of community and consideration for one another.
Through my work and interactions, I aim to showcase the beauty of Guyana, from the breathtaking landscapes of Kaieteur Falls to the rhythmic beats of our local music. I invite you to join me in celebrating our heritage and fostering a sense of pride in our homeland, no matter where we find ourselves. Together, let’s explore what it means to be Guyanese in today’s world!
