Greetings! My name is Roberta Mortley, and I'm proud to call Coast Demerara my home. Living here in Stewartville, I draw inspiration from the rich cultural heritage that surrounds me. Guyana’s connection to the Caribbean and our vibrant landscape filled with lush rainforests and the mighty Essequibo River reminds me daily of the beauty of our nation. It’s a place where every corner tells a story, from the bustling markets of Georgetown to the tranquil banks of the Pomeroon River.
As a resident of this unique part of South America, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for our culinary traditions. Guyanese food, an exquisite blend of flavors influenced by Indian, African, Amerindian, and Portuguese cuisines, brings families together, especially during festive occasions. Whether it’s the aroma of curry in the air or the delightful taste of cook-up rice on a Sunday, our diverse dishes reflect the heart of our community. I love sharing these experiences with the diaspora, who often reminisce about their childhood meals and the vibrant celebrations that define our culture.
While Guyana may feel like the “weird kids in the class,” our stories and connections are anything but isolated. We are a proud people, often overlooked yet resilient. I enjoy engaging with fellow Guyanese, both at home and abroad, as we navigate conversations about our challenges and triumphs. There’s always more work to be done, but together, we stand strong, celebrating our identity and fostering a sense of belonging wherever we are in the world.
