Yes something is going to happened, using your tool along the way is the point

My name is Oyaa from Ghana, you can call me Maameyaa❤❤❤❤. I love your videos

[@flyfye6458]

My Great Grandma left St. Helena’s Island SC in 1916. She was only 16 at the time. She left to escape the extreme racist south. She ended up in NY City where she started her family which included my Grandmother. My Grandma recently shared with me that my Great Grandma was Gullah Geechi and she practiced her beliefs until her death. My Grandma is Muslim. She does not practice the beliefs of her Anscetors. She said I remind her of her mother. I definitely believe I get my spiritual practices from my Great Grandma. I want to learn so much more about my roots. I’m very grateful for this channel ❤

[@tellerofunpopulartruths1344]

Call on her and connect with her be sure to request when petitoning that she communicates in a way only you would know it's her...🙏🏾

​@@flyfye6458how did it go? Were u able to connect with her??

[@flyfye6458]

@@SHORTY_CEE No, I speak to her a lot. But I haven’t witnessed any sure signs that she hears me

[@thewordsmith5440]

A lot of Gullahs were Muslim being that some of them came from Sierra Leon, Senegal and Gambia. If you read Africanism in The Gullah Dialect they either had an African name or a Muslim apart from the one the enslaver gave them and even after slavery they kept this going. They would have names like Sabah or Khadijah and have a name like Sarah as well. One thing about West African Muslims though many still practice their own traditions along with Islam.

[@OntaviaRoulette]

I would have been more like Yellow Mary. Explore the world young then lived my later years on the island. Yellow Mary is well aware of the darkness of the "New World" and how cruel it is.

[@treyonay]

My nana passed 12 days ago, and this movie popped up on my recommended. Theres various things that allow me to see that there's multiple signs of my nana, who is now my ancestor, is still guiding me, and she's active chile. But, the words that Nana Peazant says about the ancestors, I needed to hear those words. I needed them, and it was divine timing. Even the date for the movie....It's set August 19 1902..... My nana transitioned on August 20th. I love this movie. And im thankful that this movie and breakdown found me I would stay on the island

[@CHOCOCAT8444]

My great grandmothers were geechee who migrated to Dunbar South Carolina, my grandmother traveled north up to New York where I am but I still have family down in Dunbar, George Town and the South Carolinas. I just started resonating with my spirituality and this was a movie I had to watch. As soon as it started I was enamored. As soon as Nana started speaking I started crying because I could hear my grannies voice! When the son gave the granny the chewing tobacco I just got taken back to my grannies house and see her chewing tobacco. Beautiful movie! Even when they called yellow Mary a heffa I laughed because it sounded like my people. I would have moved north and took my traditions with me!

[@Mahoganyrenovation]

Yes dunbar..oatland...choppee...Nesmith and hemingway ❤❤

[@TheDollfaceddiva]

I'm from South Carolina, Grew up in McClellanville.. live in Georgetown now. A lot of my family migrated up North. New York, Connecticut and Jersey. We are definitely gullah geechee in the South.

[@TheMrswardy88]

I hated being called a yella heffa.... I know Mary did too lol

[@blujai8607]

Thanks YaYa! This movie is near and dear to my heart!💙 💙 We Geechee and Gullah girls are quite Special💙💙

[@Cocoakissedme]

Yes we are ❤

[@christinajohnson1625]

I love your original breakdown please don’t change it up. I love it when you really get into details. One person doesn’t speak for all of us. Am sure she meant nothing bad.Keep the reviews coming I love it♥️.

[@DEMONT4u]

My dad and grandma talks like that heavily but my grandma sounds like she from Barbados sometimes too but they are South Carolina Gullah Geechee

[@pynklady11]

I would move up north to expand my horizons, gain more knowledge, then come home to bridge the gap. It's no place home your roots but sometimes a journey is necessary for personal growth.

[@Kiki11207]

This kind lady doesn’t speak for all of us lol. I like your storytelling and the full reviews you give. Puts things in perspective, context is necessary. Thank you

[@1985pinksuga]

YesSsss When Nana said …We carry these memories inside of we...We don't know where the recollections come from. Sometimes we dream them, but we carry these memories inside of we… I FELT THAT

[@sistatalk1064]

Oh, I would leave the island just for the adventure of seeing new things but I would come back home to my roots.

[@blacknostalgiyah1598]

I would be back & forth to the island & up north, but I would carry my traditions with me & learn some new ones as, I do now.

[@latonda5634]

I just seen this movie last week. You did an amazing overview. Don’t stop telling stories the way that you do - it’s your unique style! ❤

[@soulsistag66]

I grew up in the Midlands of SC but my three out of four grandparents were from the Lowcountry. I had no problems understanding. I slip into that dialect when I’m around my People. Daughters of the Dust is part of my movie and book collection.

[@safiyyahsilvera9931]

I have igbo in my ancestry and the more I watch your videos yaya, the more solidified I feel in my spiritual beliefs. 🌹🕊️

[@theparadigmoracle]

I haven't seen this movie and years. I definitely need to rewatch it, now that I've gone through my spiritual awakening I know it will hit different. For me I know would leave the island, but I would still keep the traditions. I have a hard time living in one place too long. I love to explore and learn about different cultures and experiences.

[@MiaLeRay14]

I love the thoroughness in your storytelling! Stay true to your style…that’s why we are here 🥰

[@rayvnsdestiny9132]

Yaya, I’m so happy I’m not the only one who can’t sit still watching a movie. I do the same thing. I start a movie and then get busy. Then it becomes background noise. Thank you for this video I want to “watch” this movie. 😂

[@michele3290]

Loved the review. I believe this is the story of many. I would bring tradition with me, see what's up north, then return to the island with more knowledge.

[@avatarnicholas]

Thank you for this review. I am currently watching the 100 greatest movies of all time from 100-1 and this is #84, I didn't fully understand the movie at first but this review helped make things clearer! I definitely would have migrated but I would have kept the old traditions with me and my family. They didn't understand how lucky they were to know their roots and og practices, I wish I did now.

[@IAMAGOD1982]

I wish to stay on the island and keep ancestors tradition!!! 💯

[@sagetheseer87]

What she said to Eli was powerful

[@TashaWashington]

Just watched this movie for the first time and it SPOKE to me. The “it’s in you” part especially. When my grandma passed years ago I collected some of her hair from her comb with no knowledge of why to do that -I still don’t tbh so if anyone has any ideas of what to do with it I’d appreciate it. And I had a dream all my ancestors were wearing all white and some blue smiling and waving and my grandma walked out to them to take her “home”. So when everyone in the movie was wearing all white dresses I was like OMG - I felt so connected and understood. I’m definitely buying this on DVD before they try to write it out of history.

[@QUISPEECH]

Please do Eves Bayou there are barely any reviews about it!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🧿🧿😏😏😏🤭

[@hotcumodity7777]

Hello Ms.Yaya,I don’t know how I came across ur channel but I’m very honored to hear u speak on things my mother was about(May she rest in Peace) & letting people know the stigma about these things aren’t always a true depiction of this life & it’s not a evil thing.But I found this movie on Tubi about a week ago & never heard of it & when I watched it I was intrigued with the message & the beauty in it…Thank u again & keep up the great videos!!❤✌🏾

[@BloodyKoKo]

I resonated with them. I felt very connected & I love when they said water & fire in their native tongue, from what was able to be remembered & when the photographer guy was speaking w/ Bilal n what sounded similar to French, the native tongues sounded very much like Haitian kreyol…especially with the dileau 💧 & difè 🔥. Saw it last night, first time. Should e watched this movie long time ago

[@gigijerrie322]

My Aunt Kaycee was in that movie.......thanks for the breakdown.......now I'm going to watch it again........Thank U 🙂

[@empressyaya6927]

I love this deep dive break down; this is one of my all time favorite movies, and you uncovered some real gems that I missed as many times as I have watched this movie. I would leave the island just to be nosey, but I would definitely end up back there as an apprentice to Nana Peazant! Have you done a breakdown on "The Secret Life of Bees?"

[@cinnamon5277]

I would definitely stay on the island ,,, love your stories !!!

[@moongoddess238]

My ancestors led me to you cause I kept seeing you when I’m looking for something to watch lol lol this is a message that was really important

[@rebelassemblage]

“It’s naturally within you…” big facts!

My battle with lung cancer I would love to learn that spiritual foot bath I feel it could help me 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💖💖💖🌷🌷🌷

[@bluelotus8404]

I really love this breakdown. Your insight is deeply appreciated I got to see more depth in the film. I personally would not leave the island .

[@piscesinadream]

Please do a video on how the Bible is used in spirituality? I'm really wondering if my great grandmother may have secretly practiced hoodoo.

[@meshkanet762]

The bible is a major aspect in hoodoo secretly practice....I think not. I love your grandma...lol The book of Psalms is very powerful...Tap into your roots and call on her she will tell you pay attention to your dreams

[@elizabethchristmas3592]

If I had the opportunity to connect with my roots I would stay. I went and watch this movie from your review. Thank you very informative and I used to lived in Savannah and had no idea of the island. Thank you my beautiful sister for sharing

[@SacredPhotography1111]

I would want to see the word outside of the island for myself, like Yellow Mary. But I would eventually return. Ase

[@lovelylibra3055]

I loved that movie, saw it a few years ago! I’m so happy you covered it

[@ShamikaCrouch]

I know this is a old video, but I listened to your breakdown and went straight to Tubi to watch. Between you and Sunn Mcheaux I am loving everything I am learning about Gullah Geechee traditions. Wishing Black folk weren't so ashamed of where they come from, understanding what we were taught to be ashamed of was taken, and is being used but being fed back to us as thou shall not...

[@2468harris]

I love your breakdown of the movie. I just watched the movie for the first time. I didn't know that the movie came out in 1991 I am just now hear about it. Great movie. I'm definitely going to rewatch it. I would leave and move up North only if I knew for sure that I have a good opportunity up there waiting for me, but I would take my traditions with me and pass them down to my kids. I would not forget where I came from. I would go back home to the island to visit often.

[@tiffanylitshae]

Read the book too! It’s very telling. It’s like the aftermath of the move ❤

[@528_z]

I know I woulda stayed with nana in the home land n learned all tht I could right by the water they had a beautiful village

[@ThatFineEmpressA]

I just watched this and baby it was amazing 😊Tubi has it for free

[@elywananda]

I watched Daughters of the Dust for the first time recently, and it spoke to me in ways I can't even explain. That scene with Eli and Nana is the one that really, really vibrated with me. And this review is a wonderful review, family. Asante sana 🙏🏿

[@mediaislandinternational4915]

This movie is one of our favorites, love, love , love it. Thank you.

[@saundrascott1629]

I would want to stay connected to the island and learned all of the power behind what you discuss with the roots in the herbs and the crystals

[@nomakhwezibecker6185]

Your timing!!✨ literally have this film prescribed as part of the source material for one of my MA performance projects. Thank you, strength and light. Camagu (honouring the spirits guiding you)

[@magiciansalchemist3693]

Could you do “Beloved”? It is One of My Favorite Movies… I Own “Daughters of the Dust”,”BELOVED”,”There Eyes Were Watching GOD, The Color Purple and Eve’s Bayou. Love Your Channel # New Orleans, Louisiana

[@Moonriseconjure]

I just watched this movie because of you and I have to say I really loved it. Well I kind of feel like I don’t know I would’ve stayed and then move my traditions up north because I love it there traditions and it was very family oriented and I feel like it was deep, rooted and connected so why would you want to that connection to your ancestor, your identity, your family. But I felt like they should’ve came back to visit that island because that’s where you’re from I didn’t like how they say that they would never come back.

[@trudytriad4574]

Had always wanted to watch DoTD. Imagine the joy I felt when I found out it was on Netflix. That was the first movie I watched on there tbh.

[@torkwaseyahmi1569]

Gratitude and Honor YaYa for this excellent recap/breakdown of such a wonderful movie that resonates so highly with many of our lives today. The writer addresses a multitude of relevant issues and you also recapped all of them except how the issue of yellow Mary being “ruined” result in a yellow-yellow daughter who seemed confused and completely disconnected from the family roots. Let’s highlight that issue cause I felt for her just as much as I did for Nana, who at least, in the end, got the peace that she deserved from her loved ones. As it was on the beginning, so shall it be in the begin-again We still dehyah

[@TheMrswardy88]

I loved how you broke down everything. I watched this around Lemonade to get the refrences and then again when I started learning more about Black spirituality. You opened my eyes to the simplicity of it all and it was really moving. We dont call a thing, a thing in our community for fear of negative consequences.I've been adding credance to our superstitious ways since being on this path. Thanks for this video!

[@kindlexavier1610]

Plus , it's the family land - but whoever's name is on the deed is the owner . Yella Mary knew what was up .

[@deboragittens3363]

Look back at your video and you'll see the candel on your left side the one standing alone moves.i moment it was on an angle then it was straight. Maybe you have a ceiling fan. Great story teller. I'm going and watch the move now.

Omg love your videos keep them movies coming 👌😁 I'm very curious so i would go bring that over there 😄

[@shy8274]

Thank you YAYA I’m going to watch it now ❤❤

[@naturaleixo924]

I like the way you do your videos. And appreciate your time and effort ❤️

[@tamaraj4745]

I still would probably move depending on if I wanted a new environment, though I’d still practice what I know. Different scenery doesn’t mean you have to stop being who you were destined to be

[@BiBlackCar1]

Did not know you are Gullah geechee as well Queen my grandmother was Gullah geechee and she was a mess LOL

[@arigv04]

This helped me so much with an assignment for school, tysm 🫶

[@CrystalClear400]

can you read matt ruff books ? the author of love craft country. the book has a sequel called the destroyer of the worlds. i love your story telling

[@kiinakiiddo2849]

I’m just now getting into the movie and after watching it, I felt a sense of relief bc I loved the message behind it and I also enjoyed your review #love

[@mystiquemoves4083]

So excited! I literally just discovered and watched this movie a few weeks ago and haven’t had many folks to build dialogue with on the film. You did a fantastic synopsis ❤️ First off, I had no problem understanding them either. 😂 I discovered this movie as Ive started digging deeper into my genealogy/ancestry. 💯 agreed that was so powerful omg I definitely shed a few tears. I think I’d would also want to move north and see what was going on but that I’d eventually move back as I saw the people around me deciding to give up the culture we’d worked so hard to maintain post slavery. Just seems like, even though the island is a reminder of certain trauma and pain, It still felt like HOME. There was certainly an energy looming through the film that makes me want to travel to Igbo landing and other Gullah Geechee territories in real life. Planning to explore 👀

[@rosequartz7939]

Hey I wrote down I was going visit St Helena it was so random all sudden “Daughter of the dust” popped up randomly on Tubi..All this year I’ve been pulled to Savannah GA & South Carolina….

Thank you for the break down of my Family.

[@racheljones304]

WHAT were the young men always practicing though? Looked like that game boys play now where they take turns doing movements that are supposed to trick the other into moving a certain way.... also i feel like this movie needs to be a series.

[@kimberlyporter9555]

Some events are karmic. Magic can make the best out of a bad situation. when i prayed for my ex hubby to come back alive, he had a close call with death, but i lost the relationship anyway. The loss still happened. Im just glad he survived. I have religious trauma. But eventually it led me to the truth and im able to have a living relationship with god as Mother.

[@khemchippa6612]

Yaaaaaasssss! I love you! Thank you ya ya

[@balerinabalerina6]

I believe you will always be connected no matter where you go Your beliefs go with you You can visit the island

[@sagetheseer87]

I would visit north but I would definitely come back

[@Yanadew]

I have this film in my collection

[@shamikab1385]

In my younger years (I'm old, ok) I probably would have wanted to get out and see what it was about. But knowing what I know now, I absolutely would not have wanted or even cared to see what the north was about. I want to stay connected to my roots, ancestry and such at all costs. Plus, aint nothing up there anyway 🤷🏾‍♀️😂😂

[@neshasullivan3798]

I would first, stay on the island for a long while, learning what I can, rooting myself in the tradition and learning from my ancestors. I would then, take those tradition I learned from the island yp north, and continue it in my new environment. ❤

[@SpiritualGangstaMsTonya]

I believe my ancestors give me power and protection but because i dont Truly understand the energy of doing things i dont want to open doors that i can't close n allow something in to me if u get me

[@LunchboxNobodies]

Thanks for the post it was very interesting 😀😀

[@kelemawhite3555]

I would stay on the island just because I don't know my roots nor ancestors. The north definitely brainwashed us and erased so much of our history. I really wish I knew where I came from

[@AshleyDScott-fw3rp]

I’ve always been drawn to country/rural living. Which is surprising because none of my parents ever lived in the country nor sought to. Fast forward to now. I probably would’ve stayed instead of going north.

[@hehehehe8087]

Always connected to my roots

[@starfyer28]

So I had to go watch this movie....loved it!! Thanks for this one

[@NFTeve]

One of the most beautiful films I ever saw ❤
