Greetings from the heart of Demerara! I’m Vanessa Latchman, a proud housewife residing in the picturesque Rosetta Canal No. 2, located in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara. Growing up surrounded by the vibrant rhythms of our local culture, I have always cherished the warmth of my community. From the fragrant aroma of pepperpot simmering on Christmas morning to the lively festivities that burst forth during Mashramani, my life is enriched by the flavors and traditions that define our beautiful Guyana.
As someone who experiences the vibrant Guyanese culture both at home and through the stories shared by our diaspora, I love connecting with fellow Guyanese wherever they may be. Like many, I relish the moments spent reminiscing about our delicious meals, such as roti and curry, and sharing laughs over childhood memories. I often hear comments like, “I moved out of Guyana at the age of 9, but I still eat Marmite!” which resonate deeply with me, as they encapsulate the enduring connection we have to our roots, no matter where life takes us.
In my daily life, I strive to maintain those cherished traditions while also embracing the love and support of family and friends. Whether it’s inviting neighbors over for a taste of my homemade cassava pone or sharing tips on celebrating our unique holidays, I believe in the importance of keeping our cultural heritage alive. I invite you to join me in celebrating all things Guyanese—because no matter where we are, our spirit remains unbreakable!
