Hello! I’m Ricardo Gouveia, a proud Guyanese residing in the beautiful Demerara 212 area of De Willem, located in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region. I often find myself reflecting on the vibrant culture that defines our nation. As a Guyanese from South America, I embrace my roots wholeheartedly, recognizing that our land is more than just a dot on the map—it’s a home rich in traditions, flavors, and stories that resonate with every community member.
Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of the Essequibo, I have a deep appreciation for our natural wonders, from the serene Upper Pom and the winding rivers of Kabakaburi to the bustling local markets filled with fresh produce and the sweet aroma of pepperpot and cook-up rice. These culinary delights connect me to my heritage and the communal spirit that thrives among us. Big up to the young ladies in our community—because every girl deserves a good girl best friend, and we uplift each other!
While there may be challenges we face, such as environmental concerns and the need for better governance, I remain hopeful for the future of our beloved Guyana. Whether I’m sharing stories with friends at the River Paripi in Wakapau or enjoying a quiet evening in my neighborhood, I carry the essence of our culture with pride. Together, we are building a brighter tomorrow for all Guyanese, no matter where in the world we may find ourselves.
