“Consistency over motivation: – Pritipaul Singh Jr. on building Guyana’s maritime future

When Pritipaul Singh Jr. walked onto the stage at the BizX 2025 Awards in Houston, Texas, to accept the Entrepreneur of the Year Award, he wasn’t just representing himself or his company. He carried a vision of what a new generation of Guyanese entrepreneurs can achieve in the oil and gas sector. For Singh, Managing Director of Guyana Port Inc. (GPI)...

Paradoxical Frog: the tadpole that breaks the rules

If you spend enough time around Guyana’s lowland wetlands, blackwater ponds off the Essequibo, flooded savannas in the Rupununi, or quiet backwaters near the lower Demerara, you can run into one of South America’s strangest amphibians: the paradoxical frog, Pseudis paradoxa. It’s sometimes called the “shrinking frog” because its tadpoles can reach 25–27 cm long, but the adult frog is only 6–7.5 cm....

When her firstborn was diagnosed with atopic eczema 14 years ago, Allison Gilead did what most mothers do: she panicked, she prayed, and then she went looking for answers. Doctors prescribed steroid creams to soothe the baby’s inflamed skin, but Gilead and her husband weren’t satisfied. We learned very early that those creams could damage his skin in the long term....

Guyana’s coast isn’t only about seawalls, koker stories, and mangrove restoration. Beneath those same mangrove roots lives a tough, spotted, armour-plated catfish that most people have never heard of but that scientists have been writing about since the 1800s: Hypostomus watwata. Because it thrives right in our brackish, mud-rich, tidal creeks, it is actually a very ‘Guyanese’ fish, even though it’s shared with Suriname and French Guiana....

When 24-year-old Jayaram Ajay Sanasie stood before Justice Deborah Kumar-Chetty recently, flanked by his petitioner, Attorney-at-Law Sase Gunraj of Gunraj & Co., he did more than fulfil a personal dream. He carried with him the values of seva (service), a family’s unwavering faith, and the hard-won lessons of a pandemic-era education that began at Saraswati Vidya Niketan (SVN) and stretched across the Caribbean to the…...

Guns stir strong emotions in Guyana. For some, a firearm is a tool for livelihood and safety; for others, it’s a symbol of fear taking root. Before leaping to conclusions, it helps to ask a human question: What makes ordinary people feel they need a gun in the first place? The answers, as it turns out, are layered—shaped by geography, history, economics, and trust....

Standing before a bathroom mirror in late 1998, Adele Williams-Sewell noticed one breast looked “a little bit fuller than normal.” She felt a small lump. There was no family history, and she did not smoke or drink, but something felt off. “I wasn’t panicked,” she recalled, “but I knew I’d found a lump.” A doctor’s appointment led to a January 1999 mammogram that showed nothing; dense breast tissue can make tumours harder to see in younger women....

Adele Williams-Sewell, a breast cancer survivor, shares how a self-check helped her beat early-stage disease.

Here in Guyana, time isn’t just about dates on a calendar—it’s seasons of sound, colour, food, and family. From the rhythm of Mashramani and the breeze of Easter kite season to the excitement of CPL cricket and the warmth of Christmas, each moment has its own vibe that feels unmistakably “Guyanese.” But which time of year captures that feeling best for you?...

Stand on the Georgetown seawall on an August evening and the Atlantic looks endless—warm, wind-rippled, and, to the north, the same ocean that fuels the Caribbean’s monster storms. So why do Category 4 hurricanes tear through islands just a few hundred miles away while Guyana, year after year, avoids a direct hit? Short version: we live too close to the equator for hurricanes to spin up or hold together…...
