Greetings! My name is Shirley Persaud, and I am proud to call the vibrant Essequibo Islands-West Demerara my home. Nestled among the lush landscapes and winding rivers, our community is a tapestry of rich cultures and traditions. From the mouth-watering aroma of pepperpot to the sweet treat of a freshly made cassava pone, the flavors of Guyana resonate deeply with my experiences and daily life. Whether exploring the tranquil banks of the Pomeroon River or engaging with my neighbors in the lively streets of Lower Pom, I cherish every moment in this beautiful, albeit sometimes challenging, part of the world, especially amidst the whispers of corruption that remind us of the resilience we must uphold.
As a longtime resident of 192 Area G De Willem, I’ve built connections that span generations. The spirit alive in our communities, from Kabakaburi to the vibrant River Caracas Island, is a testament to our shared history and aspirations. Stories of adventure and struggle echo through the rivers, and every corner has its own tale to tell. The warmth of our people, the laughter shared during festivals, and the strength of our bonds remind me of the importance of community. I hold dear the memories of family gatherings filled with laughter, where we bond over delicious meals, and the stories that connect us to our ancestors.
Though many of us are scattered across the globe, the essence of Guyana lives on in our hearts. I am committed to nurturing this connection, whether through sharing our culture with others or advocating for the prosperity of our homeland. Join me as we celebrate our heritage, embrace the beauty of our environment, and strive for a brighter future for all Guyanese. Together, we can uplift our communities and keep the spirit of Essequibo alive.
