On this episode I speak with my guy Sanabah Kuyateh. He is from The Gambia in West Africa and he is a descendant the griots of West Africa. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to history and particularly African history. We discuss how the trans-saharan slave trade influenced the transatlantic slave trade. A lot of modern day Africans don’t have extensive knowledge on what happened to their ancestors that were shipped away in the transatlantic slave trade. Very similar to how in America, we were taught that African countries are mostly “3rd world” countries and they mostly live in huts… We discuss the migration story of Hebrew Israelites to “Negroland” and “The Land of Judah,” we touch on the Mandingo people, the Mali Empire, Timbuktu, West African Mythology, the Dogon and their philosophy, the possibility of black American migrating back to Africa and how we might be treated when we come back, and go down many other rabbit holes.
