TERRY SEFTERN SMITH

About Terry Smith

Hello! I'm Terry Smith, a proud resident of Demerara, nestled on Bindraband Street. Growing up in Guyana, I’ve embraced the vibrant mix of cultures that defines our nation. With 50% of our population of Indian descent, it’s no surprise that we love to celebrate our rich diversity through music, dance, and of course, our delicious culinary heritage. From the spicy flavors of curry to the sweetness of our famous black cake, every dish tells a story that connects us to our roots and the wider diaspora.

The beauty of Guyana is not just in our food but also in our breathtaking landscapes. Whether it’s the lush rainforests, the majestic Kaieteur Falls, or the serene shores of the Essequibo River, there's a piece of paradise waiting to be explored. Despite what you might hear, Guyana is a warm and welcoming place, beloved by many. It's a land where friendships are formed over shared meals and laughter, and where every visitor leaves with cherished memories.

As I continue to engage with the global Guyanese community, I cherish the connections forged through shared experiences and cultural pride. There’s something special about the bonds we create, whether through a hearty “aawjo bye” or the simple joy of reminiscing about home. Join me as we celebrate our beautiful country and the warmth of its people, both here and abroad!
