View this post on Instagram

@ebonymagazine journalist @farsightedgirl – Regrann from @farsightedgirl – I have returned. Back through the door of no return and into the dungeons and holes that caged my ancestors. I cried and cried going through those dark, brutal spaces but my ancestors know I have not forgotten them and will never forget. At the end, I received confirmation that my #ancestors are the #Mandinka people of #Senegal. Being from the land of #griots, Theibu djen and Africa's best #jollof lifted my spirits and made me more concious of the path that the ancestors have laid out for me. #ashe' ✊🏽 🇸🇳🇬🇭 @africanancestry @ebonymagazine @theadinkragroup #ebonytravels #back2africa #roots #moderngriot #ghana #African #africanhistory #neverforget #blackhistory #capecoast #traveldeeper #selfie #travelnoire #photooftheday #igtravel #nomadnesstribe #travel #love #travelphotography #africanpride – #regrann
