One of the practices that really intrigued me as a Guyanese 🇬🇾 girl in India, is “coconut smashing”, in the Hindu Religion. The persons conducting this practice explained that the more pieces the coconut breaks into, the more likely their prayers are to come true! Fascinating! Have you heard of or experienced this tradition before? #guyanese #diaspora #goldrush #india #culture
Being Guyanese means having the ability to embrace our multiculturalism with ease. Today, I’m embracing the wonders of Indian Culture, one of the many cultures that shaped Guyanese society. #goldrush #guyanesegirl #diaspora #indianculture #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
Now naturally as a Guyanese parent from a certain generation, of course my dad had a little history for our tour guide as well 🤭 #guyaneseparents #goldrush #bicycleride #georgetown #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
Coming home to Guyana is always a special and cathartic process for me. Whenever life in the diaspora gets overwhelming, or even when I have a special occasion to celebrate, the first thought that crosses my mind is: let me book a ticket to Guyana! Do you all do that too?
This time, the trip was special. It was just me and my dad, doing Guyanese tingz; and we couldn’t think of a more Guyanese ting to do than to ride bicycles around Georgetown! Although my father issa GT Banna, there was still so much that he didn’t know and had the opportunity to learn. Thank you to Cherry-ann from @alonggy1 for making this a worthwhile experience! #goldrush #bicycleride #georgetown #guyanesetingz🇬🇾 #diaspora

“Ode to El Dorado”, The village where my navel string is buried and the birthplace of G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H. Guyana is a place where generations have been nurtured and stories shaped; the same village where my mother had her Kweh Kweh 35 years ago, is the same village where I held mine last year ~ #goldrush #diaspora #community #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
The GYAFF with G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H. Podcast is our telephone line between the Diaspora and Guyana, it is our way of connecting community. Tell us, where in the diaspora are you and where in Guyana did you originate from? Guyanese at home, what community are you from? Tell us in the comment section! #goldrushassociation #diaspora #community #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
