Hello! I’m Yolanda Muntazali, a proud resident of West Coast Demerara, specifically from 29 South West Housing in the beautiful Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of Guyana, I carry with me the stories and traditions passed down through generations. My family, like many others, is a blend of diverse backgrounds, which has shaped my understanding of our rich heritage—from the influence of our Indigenous peoples to the arrival of East Indian indentured laborers, and the unique fusion of cultures that defines our identity today.
In my daily life, I find joy in the simple pleasures that Guyana offers. Whether it's savoring a plate of pepperpot or enjoying the sweet notes of a fresh coconut roll, these culinary delights connect me to my roots and to the stories shared by my ancestors. I often reflect on conversations I've had with friends and family about the historical significance of our land, from the Pomeroon River to the bustling markets where you can hear a mix of English, Creole, and Hindi. These experiences have instilled in me a profound appreciation for our collective history and the intricate layers that make up our society.
As someone who embraces the warmth of community, I believe in the importance of sharing our traditions. We celebrate each other's customs wholeheartedly; whether it's Diwali, Christmas, or Mashramani, the joy is always collective. It’s not uncommon to hear someone say, “We like to marry Caribbeans” – a testament to our interconnectedness. I am excited to continue sharing our stories, learning from each other, and nurturing the bonds that tie us together, not just as Guyanese, but as proud members of the global diaspora.
