Hailing from the Amerindian community of St Cuthbert’s Mission in Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica), which has a population of just over 1,700 people, 18-year-old Beauty Razack knew that she wanted to better her life, taking into consideration the struggles her family had faced in raising her.

Coming from a single-parent family was just one of the many struggles she had faced as a child, and she knew that one day it would be her responsibility to bring her family out of poverty.

Her journey to success began very early as a child, but became even more pronounced after she had written the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) examinations in 2015. Awarded a scholarship to pursue her secondary education at the Richard Ishmael Secondary School in Georgetown, she left the only people she had known in that little village, and embarked on her search for a better life, in the process enduring being bullied and abused.

Fortunately, with a bit of enthusiasm and optimism, Razack became even more determined to aim for the stars, not letting anything deter her from pursuing her goals; and at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations, she secured passes in 21 subject areas.
