First Generation Problems – Why My Family Hates My Life ……
A Brief History of Guyana and Good Bye Toronto….
From: Felicia Moursalien — To Guyanese Online
Saw your website and like what you’re trying to achieve. I don’t know much about Guyanese culture today, but I wrote a post about my family’s struggle to leave Guyana for Canada and how it’s a pain in the rear to be a first-gen Canadian.
I’ve never been to Guyana, yet…. but I can imagine that the youth want to forget about the past and move on to a modern world. It was the same in Indonesia when I was there…. There’s a major disconnect… between the generations.
Anyways, here is my blog where I talk about my family and their efforts to come to Canada from Guyana.. …maybe you want to check it out. Let me know what you think?

You got Guyanese DNA, Girl – Face it!! And, stop apologizing. It’s not like you are going to rob a bank or kidnap somebody, or violate other people’s rights and humanity. I am a descendent of immigrants to Guyana. I say, if you do not have Amerindian DNA, then you are an immigrant. I believe most immigrants are consumed by wanderlust – that’s how they got to Guyana in the first place – that’s how you find Guyanese every where on the planet, including the Arctic. My Guyanese-born sister worked and lived in the Northern Territories in Canada [Nunavut] for the Canadian Federal Government. You will probably be blown away by how many Guyanese are actually living in the countries on your list, I say – Go Girl!
Another thing: If it is the political situation that drove us away from our birthplace, then what is driving us away from our adopted homeland? Wanderlust is in our DNA!! You don’t need a reason to live – you’re here already – just live!
