Dr. Ross was born in Georgetown, Guyana and moved to America at age three with her family. Guyana formerly British Guiana is known as the “land of six people,” as the population is composed of six main ethnicities. Hence, Guyanese culture is a fusion of all these ethnicities; and is considered a part of the Caribbean because it is the only English-speaking country on the continent of South America. Although, she was not raised in Guyana the culture was present in her travel and upbringing. Her exposure to numerous cultures provided her with a flexibility and ability to appreciate other cultures. Her childhood experiences and acculturation contributed to her ability to interact with individuals of many cultures and helped her to form a solid bi-cultural identity as an “Afro-Caribbean-American woman.” In her spare time, Dr. Ross enjoys spending time with family, gardening, traveling, and practicing holistic modalities such as Reiki, Mindfulness, and Aromatherapy.
