Greetings from the heart of Demerara! My name is Salima Bacchus, and I am a proud housewife residing in the vibrant community of Vriesland on the West Bank of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara. My life is filled with the rich flavors of Guyanese cuisine, from the ever-popular pepperpot to the sweet delight of black cake during our festive gatherings. I cherish the opportunity to share these culinary experiences with my family and friends, echoing the warmth and vibrancy that defines our culture.
As a member of the Guyanese diaspora, I find joy in connecting with fellow Guyanese around the world. Whether it's reminiscing about our beautiful Berbice or the serene Pomeroon River, these conversations remind me of the breathtaking landscapes and the strong sense of community that we hold dear. Our traditions, from cricket matches to our unique festivals, bind us together, no matter where life takes us. I believe in celebrating our heritage and showcasing the beauty of our homeland, even when away from it.
While my role as a housewife keeps me grounded at home, I am passionate about sharing our culture with others. I often engage with various platforms to highlight the beauty of Guyana—its people, landscapes, and culinary treasures. As we say here, it’s about keeping our memories alive and creating new ones, whether it’s through a delicious meal or a shared story. Join me in celebrating the essence of Guyana, one dish and one story at a time!
