Hello! I’m Vedomattie Chand, a proud resident of the West Coast Demerara, specifically from the 12 East Housing Scheme. Growing up in this vibrant region has given me a deep appreciation for the rich culture and warmth of the Guyanese people. With the majestic Essequibo River flowing close by, I often find myself reminiscing about the lively gatherings along its banks, sharing stories over delicious pepperpot and metemgee. Whether it’s a Sunday cook-up with family or a day spent at the local markets, the essence of community is always present in my life.
As someone who values the connections within our diaspora, I often reflect on the comments from fellow Guyanese that highlight our shared experiences. The unique blend of cultures in our cuisine and traditions, along with the laughter shared in the face of critiques, remind me of who we are. Just like Simon from St. Monica mentions, our roots run deep, and our stories are as rich as the lands we come from, whether from Castle Lower Pom River or further afield.
In my journey, I strive to celebrate our heritage while connecting with others who understand the beauty of being Guyanese. It’s in the small things—a shared joke about Pokémon or the surprising truths about our beloved homeland—that we find strength and unity. I look forward to engaging with more of my community, both at home and abroad, as we continue to uplift each other and cherish our Guyanese identity.
