‘GET Real with Shameeza’, a show in New York to be hosted by Guyanese Shameeza Ally is ready for its official two-hour launch tonight at 20:00 hours via Live Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube streaming. The first guests will be former ‘Miss Guyana’ Zara Khan, a survivor of domestic abuse; and Sheffield Shorlane Douglas who will be discussing human trafficking in Guyana. The show is also expected to feature a performance by Guyanese Randy ‘Recklez’ Ramdin, who is also based in New York.
Four weeks of pre-shows were done where viewers had the opportunity to learn about the team of ‘Get Real with Shameeza’. “We also had a woman, Bibi Sarah, who spoke about her struggles building a relationship with her traditional Guyanese parents,” Ally told the Buzz this week, adding, “We have accumulated over 95,000 views since we introduced the show on our page, most of which came from our pre-shows.” The upcoming shows are to feature influential people, including women speaking about their journey through domestic violence. Awareness will also be brought to current issues in the community.

“I have had three co-hosts: Faizal Baksh who is in Guyana; George Baksh, a New Jersey-based businessman and Trevor Dhanpaul, a digital marketing specialist,” Ally noted. She will be going live every Friday at 20:00 hours. Ally, a financial advisor who has also been very active in her community and a mother of four girls, left Guyana in 2001 from Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara. Working in finance for the past 16 years has allowed her to connect with her community on a personal and professional level and as such, she has been looking for ways to give back to her community. “I saw a need to connect the people and bring them something that will enlighten them and give them a platform to voice their opinion,” she told the Buzz in a previous interview.
She is hoping that the show will allow for open discussions on the roles of women in society, will allow them to express their struggles, and will suggest ways how they can be supported and uplifted. Her goal is to have both men and women open up about the struggles that prevent them from living their best life.

She plans to arrange women focus groups in the community a few times a month where persons can attend, have discussions and find ways to help and support each other. The show will give a voice to inspiring people and businesses and will allow them to restore their confidence and go out in the world with new hope.
“I want our new generation to live in a world where they can openly speak of their feelings and not be afraid of having to suppress their feelings because of what society thinks of them,” she said, adding, “It is crazy enough that we live in a world where we have to struggle so much; if we can be more open and care less about judgment, we can all have more successful and happy lives.”
Ally enjoys cooking and spending time with her family. “I love getting away with family and friends and spending quality time where we can explore and be adventurous.” She also enjoys reading.
