Greetings! My name is Rishi Persaud, and I proudly call West Coast Demerara my home, specifically the vibrant community of 53 Southwest Housing. As a skilled carpenter, I take pride in crafting not just furniture but also building connections within my community and beyond. Guyana’s rich culture inspires my work, from the colorful festivals celebrating our diverse heritage to the warmth of the people who strengthen our bonds.
Growing up near the stunning Pomeroon River and listening to stories of the majestic Kaieteur Falls, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for our breathtaking landscapes. Food is another significant part of my life; I can never resist a plate of Pepper Pot, especially during family gatherings. It’s these flavors and experiences that I cherish and that I aim to share with others, whether through my craftsmanship or by engaging with the Guyanese diaspora who carries our essence around the world.
Though I’m rooted in my hometown, I connect with the wider Guyanese community, from those making waves in Toronto to the ones celebrating our culture online. I believe it’s essential to showcase what our beautiful country has to offer, from our lush jungles to the sweet sounds of our local music. Join me as I continue to celebrate and share the beauty of our Guyanese identity, one piece of wood—and one story—at a time!
