Hello and welcome! My name is Shanqan Gilkes, and I proudly call Uitvlugt, on the beautiful West Coast of Demerara, my home. As a labourer, I embrace the hustle and bustle of daily life, working hard to support my family and my community. Guyana, with its rich blend of cultures, from our vibrant Amerindian heritage to our African, Indian, and European influences, shapes who I am. Whether I’m enjoying a plate of delicious pepperpot or a comforting bowl of cook-up rice, I take great pride in our local cuisine that tells the story of our diverse roots.
Living near the Essequibo Islands, I often marvel at the stunning landscapes and the lively energy of our rivers and forests. They remind me of the resilience and beauty of our people. I enjoy sharing tales of our unique accents and dialects, which vary from region to region, showcasing the richness of our local identity. It’s a joy to connect with fellow Guyanese, both at home and in the diaspora, who celebrate our culture through music, dance, and the warmth of togetherness.
Join me as I continue to explore and share what it means to be Guyanese. From the bustling markets of Georgetown to the quiet charm of our rural communities, there’s always something new to discover. Let’s keep the spirit of our land alive, one story, one dish, and one connection at a time. As we say, "Right THERRE!" 🌿
