Hello! I’m Shakila Jalib, a proud resident of West Coast Demerara, specifically the vibrant 280 Block Y New Housing community. Growing up surrounded by the lush beauty of the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara has deeply influenced my identity and connection to our rich culture. From savoring mouth-watering dishes like pepperpot and metemgee to enjoying the rhythms of our local music, I cherish every moment that ties me to my Guyanese roots.
My community is a blend of traditions and stories, filled with the warmth of neighbors who gather for celebrations at landmarks like the nearby River Red Hill and the historical sites along the Pomeroon River. I believe that Guyana, along with Surinam and French Guiana, holds a unique place in the world—one that is truly worth exploring for its untouched landscapes and diverse cultural heritage. Whether it’s sharing tales of the River Bamboo Settlement or reminiscing about the festivities at Grant Unity Lower Pom, I am passionate about showcasing the authenticity of our homeland.
As I navigate life here, I strive to bridge connections with the Guyanese diaspora, understanding the shared experiences and challenges we face. If you ever find yourself wandering through our stunning landscapes, I hope you’ll take the time to connect with the heart of our communities, beyond the curated tours, and truly experience the essence of what makes Guyana special.
