Emancipation in the air
Getting ready for emancipation: The woman sitting expresses her delight at trying out one of the many creations by this ‘hat lady.’
As Guyanese prepare to observe Emancipation Day celebrations this woman who mastered the hat and head wrapping art in Suriname has begun plying her trade on Main Street, Georgetown.

With growing interest in her abilities she has been sought out by more than 50 persons on any given day from various institutions to make their ‘one of a kind’ August 1 Emancipation Day outfits.
