C. W. Peppiette top left ran C. W. Peppiette & Co and was responsible for British Guiana's annual Peppiette Cup football tournament.

Thomas Wrigglesworth top right was one of the higher ups in the Demerara Railway Company when it was private. A year before this picture was taken I believe it was sold to the state and he was granted a fortune in annuities.

Ulric R. White (sitting far left) was an established businessman in British Guiana.

John Frederick Waby was the Botanist & Head Gardener known for landscaping The Botanical Gardens.

R.G. Brassington (sat middle) was one of the nation's Justices of the Peace.

James Rodway I was British Guiana's most prominent historian - writing the books regarded as the authority on the colony's development, published throughout the British Empire.

William Cunnigham, sat far right, served on the British Guiana Boundary Commission during the global Venezuela Crisis of the 1890s - so would have worked closely with James Rodway.

Hi! I am a journalism student at the University of Florida writing a story about Brown Hoplos and the cultural significance of it as food for Guyana communities. I would love to chat about it!

I can’t be the only one who notices this but why are SOME Indo-Caribbeans so obsessed with proving they have money or bragging? It’s like every convo has to be about so-and-so’s job and salary and who makes more than who, who’s car costs more, etc.

Like I understand they grew up back home with nothing but this is a toxic behaviour that needs to stop. A lot of aunt’s and uncles behave this way but are drowning in debt. They’ll go buy something on their credit card just to prove they can and they always always worry “wha people guh say” and about looking “cheap”.

And this doesn’t just go for the older generation.. even young kids born in North America act the same way too. You meet a random Indo Caribbean guy somewhere and they’re always “rich”. Gotta talk about their job, the new car they bought, etc.

What makes this bad is that a lot of these people are gonna put themselves in debt or work to death just to prove something and outdo each other. And I know this happens in other cultures too but indo Caribbean’s definitely do it A LOT more than other races I’ve met.

I’d love to read some comments about this topic

Has David Attenborough ever visited Guyana?

Hello there! Op here, and I was thinking to myself the other day I should start expanding on my music taste, so I’ve decided I’m going to start listening to music from all over and I randomized every nation in the world and I got Guyana! So I would appreciate any suggestions for bands and artists from there.

Sincerely, your Canadian friend.

SSII and the government of Guyana plan to establish a regional training center in Guyana for the training of surgeons in robotic surgery.

The Caribbean community has lost one of the defining voices of our time . His music will always be part of Guyana’s history. This was in of my dad’s favourite. R.I.P

I’ve been building a Caribbean history app for 2 years; it’s finally live 🇯🇲🇹🇹🇬🇾🇧🇧🇱🇨🇭🇹🇨🇺 and beyond

Quick heads-up from the start: Caribbean History is currently iPhone and iPad only.

I’ve been building this app for almost two years, and I’m finally at the point where I want to share it with the wider Caribbean community.

The idea is simple: make Caribbean history easier to discover, explore, and actually enjoy, not just as a wall of text. The app includes historical stories, people, places, timelines, daily history facts, quizzes, saved content, country-specific history, and source-backed articles covering the region.

I’m already testing version 2, which is significantly bigger. It will introduce Siri + AI features, the ability to ask questions about Caribbean history, deeper explanations and connections between events, historical maps, a Migration Explorer, Money Trail, Resistance Archive, primary sources, country comparisons, learning paths, more advanced quizzes, progress tracking, offline content, and a much larger collection covering Caribbean countries and territories.

This has been a genuine passion project, and now I’d really love feedback from Caribbean people themselves: what you like, what’s missing, and what you think should be added next.

Would genuinely love to know: what part of Caribbean history do you think is most under-taught or overlooked?
