Just found out I have Gullah ancestors on both sides of the family.
Love the accent 😍
I love this place even though I’ve never been
It sounds like perfection…this is what it should be like 💖 the new people should go away—leave heaven to be!
Thank you for this information.
I love to visit just to eat the food and church service would be good for me to
I love this. My Daddy taught us about the Gullah Geechees when I was very young. I would listen intently and feel such a connection to these people. We took annual trips to the beach as a family, and there was one particular location we would pass by and he would say, " Those are the Gullah people in our lineage." The people would be on their front porches and wave at us as we slowly drove by. I always wanted Dad to stop so I could go into these people's house's and see how they lived. Call it being intrigued.
God Bless YOU Love you!!!
Ya'll are apart of the Lost Tribes of the children of Israel! Please read your bible turn back to the Most HIGH KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND STAY AWAY FROM UNCLEAN FOODS LIKE SHRIMP CRAB LOBSTER AND PORK! LOVE YOU MY PEOPLE
We speak gullah in Barbados
My family is Guller GeeChee , My mother spoke Geechee.
What about wadmalaw Island?
proud Beaufort Gal!!!!
There needs to be a balance. If you wanna build on gullah land, then pay the tax
Many Gullah Geechee lands are threatened by annual tax sales, the most recent of which was Oct 5, 2020. The community is working hard to raise funds to redeem the land – must be done within 12 months. Many of these areas are underserved with residents in low income professions and unaware of agricultural tax exemptions available. See more here https://www.islandpacket.com/news/local/article245917760.html. There is also a GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/f/panafricanfamilyem
Just found out my grand parents are from this Island. I gotta go over there and see it. My dad kept it a secret. He never told me about it. So it's a bit of a mystery. On my mothers side we are Jamaican. Both sides have "jewish" beliefs. I really have some work to do.
Fast forward the community is being pushed out to build a resort and golf course, it’s so sad. 🙁
Beautiful culture and the desire to preserve!
I've now come to realise… the gullah language is almost identical to guyanese and carribean injun dialect
💛💛💛💛💛🦋💛💛💛💛💛🙏🏿
To my Gullah/Geechees… The name Gullah is in the Strong’s Concordance Bible dictionary as a Hebrew name. Look in the Hebrew Language section on page 1353 and you can see for yourselves. Yah’ll (we) are Hebrews. Our names were not mis-pronounced as Angola or Golas although some of our ancestors were from there. The Spanish and English called us Gullah or GuYah (In spanish the LL makes a Y sound) because they knew who we were. Geechees are the Yamasee or Yahmassee (Yah) (Yahweh) who were also Hebrews and were called (Maroons, Guale, Yamacraw, Creek Aborigines) by the Spanish. Cum-by-Yah, Ah-ha-Yah, We-Ben-Yah (We Son of Yah), Hallelu-Yah.
This brings me a whole new perspective on cultural reservation, excellent video
I just love this lady energy 🥰
I am proud to be of Geechee descent through my maternal grandmother whose mother was Geechee from Claxton, Georgia, and then traces back to Savannah, GA. I am learning more about this side of my family. Tenki Tenki Queen Quet. We binyah on de land and ain't goin anywhere
I wish we had the same thoughts on cigarettes as we do on canned food.
My family on my father's side is gullah geechee from the islands
I know of my great grandparents (on both sides) being from Americus and Smithville GA and I just be wondering if the were at least influenced by the Gullah/Geechee cuz they talked like this. That part of Georgia isn’t the gullah/geechee corridor but maybe there’s influence💪🏾
i live in ga my mom side of the family are temne from sierra leone now i know i have connection with the gullah geechee family
This Quarantine got me down to the Gullah Geechi Islands sector of YouTube ❤
My Sierra Leonean (West Africa) brothers/sisters in the diaspora. The reunion after 400 years of seperation, is on. How oona dae do . How dee body . Oona kusheh.
I still have the shirt I bought after the movie "Daughter's of the dust" wayyyy back in the day! This is my next road trip destination. Hopefully I can volunteer to help work some of the farms. 🧘🏿♀️
My dad always said he was Geechie. This is interesting, I'm now going to do some research.
I am from the Bahamas and it is great to hear you speak – it is just like us – We speak the same way – I have to visit your island sometime – I do hope you can hold on to your culture and be sure to pass it down to the children and impress on them the importance-
Do my ancestors that I have met my grandmother is that way of all of them the things they talk about the things that they do I saw in my grandmother my grandfather I can relate with this so well
Proud Gullah/Geechee💞. I'm so praying to be able to go back for heritage 💯🙏
So true my people amen
Queen Quet is really a remarkable and intelligent woman. Unfortunately, the gentrifiers will be along directly and the Gullah culture will be gone. Remember, gentrifiers will buy up the coastline first then starve you out.
As a Jamaican… Gullah Geechee is my connection … letting me know… Slavery was a bitch!!!! If explain how these people sometimes sound like Jamaicans… explain that😏
That is very sad. Staging a spiritual experience for a bunch of white people to come and gawk at them.
May God be with you all on st.Helena İsland-May God protect you from taking the wrong path
My next vacation or quick getaway will be to my folk right here! I love it and I love them!!
