Hey Brother- I’m an African American . I was an exchange student many years ago in Venezuela. There’s a lot of us there too. Especially in the mountains. Many of our ancestors ran into the mountains to escape slavery and the Spanish did not go up there. I tell you they lied to us in school. They took so many of us. So many .

You're changing the game, helping us plan must-visit destinations with a fresh perspective. It's high time we took control of our narrative. Your work is peeling back layers of misconceptions and showing that what was once dismissed as 'primitive' is, in truth, the cradle of rich civilization. You're helping to correct the falsehoods we've been taught in schools about our own heritage. Thank you for being an outstanding ambassador for Africa, Wode Maya.

Hey Wode Maya! I'm so impressed with this amazing documentary about your tour of the diaspora in the West. I'm African Jamaica in NJ always watching your videos. Also, I have been so curious about Suriname for many years now, having seeing excerpts from piece meals documentaries. However, yours and within this time, is so in depth despite being short in duration. It really brings me closer to my people. You see anywhere Africans are, from Africa to the diaspora, all are my peoples. I can hardly imagine colourful history of survival conquering the depths of the inner lands while fighting against the wretched oppressions of slavery. For sure without any doubt, the retention of the African heritage is overwhelming in Suriname at the top of my list. I said it and think so without any doubt. Haiti, my closest neighbour from another island may just be the next; while my home island Jamaica and other ranges in various degrees. Yes, the maroon and Rastafari communities with a few others in Jamaica have been significant in that course but for sure where the retention is highly favoured in my opinion is Suriname and of course the geography is dynamic in the reason for that. That young professional lady who arranged your meeting is truly a blessing, warm and graceful at heart. Also, what touched me, even more in extent, is the warm open welcoming of the Vice President. His exemplary style of leadership was even more mind blowing when he ate from the same plate of the village lady his people. So down to earth, of what true African leadership is powerfully about; being one with the people. Continue your good work Maya and be blessed. I look forward to see your in Jamaica; the land of my birth. One Love ❤.

These people managed to blend and come up with a language of their on with some words from the mother land and maintain some traditions260 yrs down the line

[@ann-marieherdsman2093]

Just a language of resistance : a legacy of the ancestors surviving from Africa to Surinam. In Jamaica it's patois( a combination of English with African syntax)

[@kilabob1200]

It is so good to see you connecting to our brothers and sisters in Suriname. I love the fact that his excellency is open to reconnecting with Ghana and the rest of Africa. The ancestors are truly moving through you, Wode Maya. Forward Ever!!!

Fawaka Suriname, much love from Uganda, my dream city Paramaribo, city of champions (my favourite song from Suriname) Suriname is Africa away from Africa.

[@bizzostepper]

The first time I heard about Suriname was in a movie, now getting to know it more through Wode Maya is super amazing, I like the humbleness and simplicity of the Vice president

[@kennedyikonya3888]

[@nanakwame8214]

Suriname must be very peaceful and safe... VP travelled to his village with no security that's very very mind blowing because in Ghana because of their criminality they scared and feel threatened even with massive security guards

[@jadamajadama7749]

This land and its people looking very nice and friendly above all peaceful. Lovely African family

[@EdGoPlaces]
