What If We Were Never Meant to Leave? A Conversation on Coming Back to Guyana

What if we were never meant to leave?

This short audio reflection is a moment of pause — inspired by a video we shared with our community about leaving Guyana, returning home, and the ties that never really break.

In just under two minutes, we reflect on generations of movement: from my mother’s village decades ago to standing in that same place 35 years later for my own wedding celebration. It’s a reminder that home isn’t just where we come from — it’s something we carry, and something we can return to with purpose.

This snippet introduces a larger question we’re posing at G.O.L.D.R.U.S.H.:

What does it really mean for the Guyanese diaspora to come back home — not just to celebrate, but to engage, contribute, and help build what’s next?

Consider this an opening thought, not a full conversation — and an invitation to reflect on your own connection to home.
