A Single Mother's Journey as an Immigrant from Guyana

from Taylor Harruff

Culture, a word with countless definitions and even more meanings to different people. What do you know about Guyana and their culture? What do you know about moving to New York from Guyana and leaving your entire family and life behind?

Given your interest in immigration and assimilation, chances are you know far more than the average American. But – do you know it from a mother’s perspective?

Author Bibi K., a native of Guyana now living in New York, came to this country shortly after her 31st birthday in 1988. She left her semi-luxurious life, her two children and family in Guyana in the hopes of obtaining her green card. But why? What brings someone to leaving their comfortable life?

Bibi’s recently published book, The Green Grass, tells us why. It is shows us an entirely new view of the Immigration issues from the eyes of a female immigrant.

The Green Grass, though about American culture from the eyes of an immigrant, dives even further. It’s an emotional journey and the gripping tale of how to survive when you have no one but yourself.
