GUYANA: The Guyanese Diaspora: A clarion call for meaningful engagement – By Lear Matthews
It has occurred to this writer that the word Diaspora is widely used but perhaps not clearly understood by many who are purportedly viewed as a part of it. Diaspora refers to the group of people or individuals from a particular cultural region or nation, residing outside of their country of origin.
They generally maintain strong sentiment and material links to the homeland. Diaspora activities include remittance transfers, circular and return migration, investment, knowledge transfer and networking. A necessary condition for a migrant collective to be considered a diaspora is the extent to which contacts with the country of origin, real or imagined, material or cultural is sustained. A level of transnational connection is maintained. Continue reading
USA: A Tribute in memory of Colin Moore – By Lear Matthews
A Tribute in memory of Colin Moore – By Lear Matthews
As we mourn the loss of Colin Moore, bringing a message of condolence and comfort to his family, I would like to share a few thoughts about my friend, colleague and mentor. He has been a champion for human rights, a voice of the downtrodden and devoted son of the soil.

His political advocacy spanned the globe, but particularly Guyana, Jamaica and the US. He participated in early efforts to establish a National Arts Council Center in Guyana to promote cultural and ethnic unity, and national solidarity. Continue reading

New York Elections 2021 – Four New Judges – ” You Make Us Proud”
By: Dhanpaul Narine
The 2021 November elections were historic. They brought us a new crop of judges. These talented and remarkable women are trailblazers that have left an indelible imprint in their communities. Their scholarship, and service, span several countries, but what they have in common is the ability to dispense justice, without fear or favor, in one of the greatest cities of the world.

She worked hard with the support of her parents, Basmatee and Prakash Gopee. She attended Franklin K. Lane High School and graduated from Binghamton University and St. John’s University. Karen has deep roots in the community and was appointed a Judge by Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2015. She will be a Judge in the Supreme Court in Queens County. One of her mentors is Judge Alex Calabrese who has always encouraged Karen to reach for the stars. Continue reading
