The Pillars We Stand On

Our Core Values

Unified Community Action

We prioritize relationship building within our association, recognizing that showing up for one another is essential for our collective success. Whether in person or virtually, we actively support fellow community members by lending our time, financial contributions, and networking resources to their businesses and initiatives. Through these collaborative efforts, we not only strengthen our bonds but also proudly represent our homeland.

Social Impact

Beyond entertainment, we strive for meaningful social impact. By mobilizing the diaspora and local Guyanese in addition to our social media tools and podcast, we address social issues, advocate for justice, and contribute to the betterment of all Guyanese people and the communities they are a part of.

Inclusivity

We are dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusivity that celebrates the richness of diversity in all its dimensions. At the heart of our mission is a profound respect for our elders and a deep appreciation for the wisdom they impart. We believe in the transformative power of learning from individuals spanning generations, political affiliations, racial backgrounds, and beyond, and commit to creating a space where every person feels not only included but also cherished and empowered.

Dialogue and Storytelling

We cherish the art of storytelling and the tradition of 'gyaffing'—informal conversations that are central to our Guyanese heritage. As part of our commitment to fostering dialogue and storytelling, we provide inclusive platforms for open discussion. Through these avenues, we encourage the exchange of ideas and narratives, strengthening the bonds of our community and honoring our cultural roots. Every voice is welcomed and valued in our spaces, enriching our collective experience and deepening our connections.
