About Shuwa Peters

Greetings! My name is Shuwa Peters, and I proudly call Demerara my home. Nestled along the East Old Road South, my neighborhood resonates with the vibrant pulse of Guyanese life. Growing up in this beautiful, multiracial society, I've been deeply influenced by our rich traditions and shared history. We celebrate our diversity through our cuisine, from the tantalizing pepperpot to the flavorful cook-up rice, which always brings back fond memories of family gatherings and community feasts.

As a resident of this land steeped in culture, I cherish the landmarks that define our heritage, like the iconic St. George's Cathedral and the bustling markets echoing with laughter and chatter. My heart swells with pride whenever I think of our contributions to the Caribbean, as one of the founding fathers of CARICOM. It's a testament to our resilience and unity, even as many of us venture far and wide across the globe, connecting with the diaspora while holding tight to our roots.

In my daily life, I strive to embody the spirit of hospitality that Guyanese are known for. Whether I'm sharing a meal or exchanging stories with friends, I relish the opportunity to showcase the warmth and authenticity that represents our beloved country. Let's celebrate our culture, our food, and our stories, as we continue to create connections, both at home and abroad.
