“There’s is people who reap where they did not sow” -Burna boy

[@Idanimowellness]

As an African American and a Pan Africanist, I’ve been on a journey to reconnect with my ancestral land and the many cultures within Africa. I was never really exposed to Afrobeats growing up. Now that I have been exposed to it, I’ve listened to nothing but Afrobeats for 2 months straight and I can’t stop 😂 my body cannot Stay still when I listen. I get it’s ancestral. Africans and descendants of Africa globally are so saucy from Black Americans to the Caribbean to the entire continent of Africa ♥️ love it love it love y’all 💕 Edit: I’d also like to say to African Americans, please don’t believe the idea that continental Africans do not like us. I’ve been welcome into their spaces time and time again. Of course there are some that aren’t as welcoming but the overwhelming majority view you as a family. Don’t believe the hype. They’d love for Africans and their descendants to be divided. Don’t give them the satisfaction. ✌🏾

[@MrRudesaint]

Anae O'Neal trust me once you find afrobeats or Afrocentric songs in general you have found the cure to depression, anxiety and all of that nonsense; with afrobeats you are simply transported to a place of pure joy and positive energy . As regards your body moving on it’s own when the songs come on , There’s no solution for that 😄
