Our Impact
The "GYaff with G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H." podcast serves as a vital communication platform, bridging connections between Guyanese individuals in both the homeland and the diaspora. Through engaging conversations, storytelling, and exploration of Guyanese culture and history, GYaff fosters connections among listeners worldwide.
A RUSH brings together members of our community to provide direct financial or physical support to Guyanese businesses or events. This impactful activity increases visibility for featured businesses, stimulates transactions, and promotes a sense of community and empowerment among participants.
G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H. Conferences, or "Gold Rushes" are transformative gatherings orchestrated by our nonprofit, aimed at empowering and uniting the Guyanese community. With engaging content, cultural immersion, and networking opportunities, attendees celebrate heritage, forge connections, and glean insights for personal and community growth.
“We envision a Guyana where every individual, regardless of their location, is a vital
participant in the narrative of progress. Our commitment is unwavering—to cultivate a
spirit of engagement, bridge generational divides, and amplify the diverse voices within
our community through the dynamic lens of media and storytelling.”
– Excerpt from ‘Golden Horizons: The Manifesto of G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H. Association’
G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H. isn't just an association; it's a vibrant community, a melting pot of ideas, and a beacon of inspiration. It's my absolute delight to shed light on the co-founders, Sherida and Afia Hinckson, whose Guyanese heritage enriches the very fabric of this community. Their vision transcends the ordinary, creating a space where every member feels valued and heard. The Hinckson sisters bring a unique blend of cultural richness, entrepreneurial spirit, and a heartfelt commitment to community building. Sherida, with her keen insight and innovative approach, is a force of nature, inspiring everyone to strive for excellence. Afia, with her empathetic leadership and unwavering dedication, ensures that every member's voice contributes to the collective melody of G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H. Together, they have cultivated an environment where learning, sharing, and growing are not just encouraged but celebrated. It's rare to find a community so deeply rooted in its values yet so forward-thinking in its approach. In G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H., I've found not just a community, but a family. The Hinckson sisters haven’t just built an association; they’ve ignited a movement, one that empowers, enlightens, and unites. Here's to the endless possibilities that await within the realms of this extraordinary community!
