Hey everyone!

Looking at international headlines, Guyana is constantly ranked as the fastest-growing economy in the world due to the offshore oil boom.

For locals living day-to-day: what does this exponential growth look like in your actual life? Are you seeing real improvements in jobs, public infrastructure, and daily living, or is the rising cost of living eating away at the benefits?

Would love to hear honest perspectives from people on the ground.

I'm MAARZ, a solo Caribbean producer. I'm inviting Guyanese singers and rappers to put their own verse on Get Away for #GetAwayChallenge. The 1:15 instrumental is available to download.

The music uses Suno-generated source material, with production by me. It's free to use for the #GetAwayChallenge only, not for release.

18+. I'll choose the winner and announce it on 23 November 2026. The prize is exclusive rights to the Get Away beat plus a custom song produced by MAARZ, with a free instrumental, mixed and mastered by MAARZ. Rights terms are agreed in writing with the winner. Entry deadline announced soon.

If you try it, I'd like to hear what you do with it.

I was talking with an Indian man I know if he likes roti as I'll make some additional ones for him when I get round to doing them this week. He was in absolute shock and confusion 😂 (for context I'm a black man that is of Guyanese heritage living in the UK) .

He asked me how I know about such food . I had to explain Guyana's history and how our food is a rich mixture of our past that has formed Guyanese food today. "Oh you're South American" no I'm Carribbean😅

"What are you?" I'm black , some Indian , some European etc

It's truly a blessing (and curse at times explaining) to be Guyanese . I wouldn't want to be anything else !

Anyone else with interesting stories or similar experiences?

Looking for 7 Curry Caterers in the GTA 🇬🇾🇨🇦

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for caterers in the Greater Toronto Area who specialize in Guyanese-style 7 curry for my Hindu wedding.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone who can prepare authentic Guyanese 7 curry and provide catering for an event. If you’ve personally used a caterer or know someone who does this, I’d really appreciate any recommendations!

Please feel free to share their business name, contact information, social media pages, or photos of their work.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Does anyone know if a Guyanese can apply for a Canadian visitor's visa while visiting the USA (NY)? And if so, is it advisable to do it while there or back home?

Hey! As the title states im wondering how common it is for Hindus and muslims to get married for other Guyanese? And did you convert to marry or did you maintain separate faith??

Please keep it respectful!

I wanted to see some options about this, as I saw it was not mentioned anywhere. In my opinion, Guyana deserves visa-free access to the Schengen Area and I hope it can get there, but I find the claims made by the president somewhat hypocritical.

I find it odd that he claims Guyana is being treated unfairly when Guyana's visa policy actively discriminates against Schengen states. A few schengen member states Hungary, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, and Malta require a visa, while others (the richer ones) do not.

Guyana is the only country with real chances of getting a Schengen visa exemption that actually behaves this way. I doubt the EU views this disparity favorably, and addressing this issue could improve Guyana's chances.

Ultimately, Guyana should try to extend visa-free access to all Schengen members or require visas from all of them, rather than applying an uneven, two-tiered system.

I'm on a mission to go around and ask each country subreddit what people think about beans (my favorite meal!), just to see how people like or dislike them all around the world out of curiosity and for fun. If you like beans, hate them, they are a big part of the culture, anything else, just share your thoughts! 🫘

Greetings, Guyanese. The day, is today. Where your thoughts on beans, I ask for. The last country starting with the letter G, yours is. 'Spill the beans', if you will.

A very lovely flag, you possess. 🇬🇾🇬🇾

Hi! I’m visiting Guyana and staying in a hotel. I turned on the tv and there was this channel with just a picture of a guy holding a mug with his dog outside what I assume is his house! No music, no change in image over a 6 hour period, just the picture? I tried to look it up but nothing came up,

I’m wondering if this is Guyana specific? I attached a picture since I haven’t been able to find it online, very curious!

I am M26 looking to meet Guyanese woman to date the ones that can make some goood chicken curry and dhal puri not the ones that beat them man when them come home from a bar lmaoo. All jokes aside where do u guys go to meet down to earth Guyanese woman??

The final farewell . Let us come together to pay our respects & honour the Life of the Mighty Sparrow

This was a beautiful celebration

Hey everyone!

I’m going to a cultural potluck party with some friends soon

What are some classic Guyanese dishes? Which are your favorites?

Thanks in advance 😁

So I was in town today, crossing the road to get over to bounty right and I saw this black car stopping for me and I thought okay, let me cross over now, but when I cross the car freaking hit my side luckily I didn't fall over, I wasn't hurt or anything and in my defense I saw the CAR STOPPED for me, anyways I pulled back and the coconut man and the lady who was a bystander waiting for a bus was like watch where I was going over and over and I was like I did I thought the car stopped for me because he literally stopped from a far distance. And the coconut man kept saying it over and over again and then he was like let me cross you over and he did. Bro I was so shameful to walk out back that supermarket. I never experienced something like this before and idk how to feel. I'm so embarrassed and I work right in town so like 😞😞😞😞

Good Morning.. any info on how to purchase tix for South Dakota racing Nov1 from overseas? Is there a website or st? GMSRC is unresponsive. ✌🏾

Where’s the good food at down here from jerk chicken to steak, pasta and dem tings?

As the title suggests, how is the culture of disrespecting doctors and nurses encouraged even if they are doing everything correctly as per protocol along with willingness to learn, just because the head of the same prefers people of a certain nationality (not guyanese btw) more than others.

Also side note, there is no one who can be contacted regarding the same because such matters get pushed under the rug with threats to the person's job and future employment.

I would just like to know why such things are so prevalent in region 6 primarily. Even educating patients is frowned upon here for some reason.
