was born and brought up in Guyana where I was based until 1987. As Indo-Guyanese Caribbean now living in the UK, I consider myself part of the Caribbean Diaspora located in Europe and North America. My religious heritages include Islam, Hinduism and Christianity – Caribbean style. I have lived, studied and worked in Guyana, Jamaica, Grenada, Curacao, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
