My ancestors are from Benin 🇧🇯, my grandfather is from Brazil 🇧🇷 or Cape Verde 🇨🇻….. I never knew him, he passed away before I was born. My last name is Portuguese and this video makes me want to visit Brazil more than I ever wanted to before!! My Dad spoke Portuguese and can only speak the language a little…. Espero que os meus irmãos e irmãs da diáspora possam encontrar a sua terra natal e visitá-la um dia! In the late 1800s - 1965, the U.S. allowed Cape Verdeans to emigrate to the U.S. so they could work in the whaling industry in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I believe this is how my grandfather made it to the United States 🇺🇸. My grandmother was 13yrs old when she had my father and died at 34yrs old from cancer. Being a young mother she didn’t pass down a lot of information about my grandfather to my father….

Afro-Brazilian, including Afro-xxx isn't the same as African from the continent of Africa. Common origin, commonalities in some foods, customs & words, but hybrids. The issue is ignoring the hybridization in favour if claiming one culture/lineage.

[@liviamarianateodororosa2647]

[@mariabarnes9197]

@liviamarianateodororosa2647 yes, it is an enrichment. However, there is a move to make Africa the dominant identity-- & not an enrichment. The idea is that the forebearers' or ancestors' country of origin, culture, etc, is the true homeland, & should be accepted as such. This movement doesn't take into account whether or not the person speaks or understands the language, has familiarity w/ the customs, traditions, food, political landscape or has ever visited, or wanted to visit. If we are not careful, this movement will push hybrids to unwillingly assimilate & accommodate something they don't fully identify w/.

Some even sang Yoruba without understanding it but I did. ( A few words were off but over ninety percent is intact). It was super moving.

Africans travelled way before slavery to the Americas. They reached there way before any white Europeans. Plenty of evidence. Books have been written to document that (by Pathé Diagne for example). Bakery 2, the last Mansa before Kanka Musa, of the Kingdom of Mali sailed with over 2000 men and reached North America where he found other Africans who arrived there before him. There is a documentary and a film as well in the works.

Depends on where you go. We Gullah Geechee people on the coast of NC, SC, GA, and North Eastern FL, have retained more African culture than all other AA's. The Portuguese didn't try to strip Afro Brazilians of everything because they felt it would keep slaves docile. They stripped Africans more in the US because they feared from the many uprisings

[@visionquest7870]

No they have not. African Americans maintained stuff like Islam and the Blues in the USA. The Blues are from West Africa and African Americans kept it alive for hundreds of years. There is also Gullah Geechee culture.

[@25oxendine]

@@kamargee9680 This is true. I'm from Appalachia(NC/Va. State line Grayson Va), but I visit the Pee Dee region of SC often since it is about 3hrs. The people in that region not only look fully African but also retain a lot of the same diet. I think that SC has the widest variety of African ancestry as well . I see them in my 23andme profiles also. Unlike me @66% African, they are coming in at damn near 100% African. I have 2 of 8 grandparents from Darlington and Mullin SC. The ones from Va. are highly hybridized as I also have 7.8% Native American, the rest White.

You will run into some pushback and cognitive dissonance asking people if they acknowledge their African lineage here. There’s not a lot of Pan Africans here in America such as myself. If you do happen to come to America Brotha, may I suggest going to these places to get a better grasp of the history of slavery in America and our unique culture in relation to its African roots. 1) New Orleans,LA 2) Savannah, GA-Charleston, SC (Gullah-Geeche corridor) 3) Washington D.C. 4) New York City

Indeed Legend Maya captures the narratives so beautifully. You've carried us with you in all these countries and have shaped given us a beautiful sense of the lives of our Afro natives. You remain our Legend. Keep soaring high

I love Bahia! While there, I was able to experience Nigerian street food and Angolan dance and martial arts. Bahia has a large Yoruba community that I love!

I wish we would get past these debates. No matter our origin, us melanated people had a common oppressive experience. Let’s highlight our commonalities instead of our differences. We can unite despite our differences. It’s so beautiful when we do ❤

I am a black African man, I don't throw myself at white people like the mulattoes who wanna be loved because of their light skin. My neighbor is a German guy, he doesn't like mulattoes because they are loud, noisy and just plain stupid. He told me I am the first good neighbor around here (I intentionally love keeping to myself because well, I can't tolerate the drama, toxicity, selfishness, backstabbing, crab mentality, jealousy and fake superficial characters found among my own people. Its just not worth it) We had a long conversation, the first genuine conversation I have ever heard in a long time with a neighbor or stranger. Most Africans and mulattoes tend to be superficial and fake, I noticed they only talk to you when they need something and conversation is often short and fake. There were people who were telling me the German guy is racist, but he isn't. He just didn't like their behaviour and character. So not everything is about race. Some people just don't like your behaviour or character. You are light in complexion but ghetto inside.

Amen!

It's amazing how in North America it's all about identity politics until it comes to Blacks 😎

[@Makida937]

Some would like to erase the evidence of transatlantic slavery. Impossible! We in the diaspora are the proof that we know and recognize the history of our ancestors.🙌🏾🙌🏾 Fantastic work you are doing, Wode Maya! From Suriname to Brazil! Outstanding!
