On Friday, as Cayman Cultural Day continued, Mrs. Nasaria Suckoo-Chollette payed us a visit and told us some very exciting and funny Caymanian stories and poetry that she wrote. Here’s a quick bio on Mrs. Suckoo-Chollette.
Nasaria Suckoo-Chollette grew up in a household without a television. She became an avid reader and learned to express her feelings through poetry. As a student she was inspired by poets such as Rumi, Hafiz, Neruda and Kahlil Gibran, Louise Bennett and John Agard. She later developed an interest in painting and joined the acclaimed Caymanian Artists Association, Native Sons, showing her work at local and international venues. Her writing has won the Cayman National Cultural Foundation’s annual Cayfest Literary Competition for several consecutive years, and she has been invited to perform her pieces at various community events.
