Redefining Market Life
Despite long days and heavy lifting, Bourda Market vendor, Radha Danpat, says she wouldn’t trade her work for an office job.
Market vendors in Guyana, and countless other countries, are the movers and shakers of the market. Whether it’s fruits, vegetables, or unique produce, vendors serve as a vital and vibrant bridge between the farm, the farmers, and the tables of everyday Guyanese.
At just twenty-two, Radha Danpat has already spent seven years managing her grandfather’s business in the heart of Bourda Market. From six in the morning until sunset, she sells pumpkins, plantains, and watermelons with a pride that defies the perception that market work is “hard and old-fashioned”.
In an interview with Pepperpot Magazine, Radha highlighted the ups and downs of market life, the everyday hustle and interactions, and why she loves her job so much.
