Yaya DaCosta Instagram – is FULANI . Generally nomadic pastoralists who practice transhumance, the Fulani are one of the largest ethnic groups on the continent of Africa. Some historians trace our pre-biblical migrations to at least the 5th century, originating in present day Morocco and Mauritania, while archaeologists have traced Fula presence in Algeria back to at least the fourth millennium BC. There are many theories about Fulani means of migration (including roaming with herds of cattle, or more recently, jihads), but Fula roots can be found in many different current day expressions across Northern and Western Africa, including Cameroon, Mali, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Gambia, and Senegal. . . Channeled Message from a Fulani Ancestor: . “We do not do stagnancy. We are obedient to the paths behind and ahead of us. We trust in the Divine Plan. We trust where we land. When you hear that it is time, go. Survey your harvest. Know what you know. It doesn’t take too long if it arrives on time. When mind and heart remain open, so too, do your channels of receiving. You are so beautiful. You look just like me. Especially when you laugh. So laugh. At every opportunity. Stretch every chance you get. Reach. Carry your tools. Know what is essential in life. And leave the rest behind, whenever necessary. Because what comes to replace it will always be a closer match to the you that you are becoming. To the new places you are arriving at. To the people you are creating family with. Be free, beautiful. Listen. Follow. Be free.” 📸: @thaisaquinophotography 💇🏾‍♀️: @chiomanvhair 🎵: Fulani singer Oumou Sangare @youmisang #AncestryDecolonized #BlackFuturism #IndigenousFuturism #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHerstoryMonth #BlackFutureMonth
