I appreciated seeing all of this. On my mom's side of the family in America, I don't know what African country my ancestors came from. But seeing this festival gives me an idea of how my ancestors way, way, way, way, way, way before I was born probably lived and celebrated when they were in Africa. 🙂
@Kany-496 Yes, I'm what people in America like to call mixed (race) or Mulatto. But not in the usual way. Usually Mulattos are people here in America with an African-American parent and the other parent is Caucasian or White. But, I'm mixed cause I'm Black or African-American on my mother's side of the family and on my father's side of the family I'm Pakistani. My father, before I was born, immigrated to the U.S. to live in Chicago. Him & my mom met and married. And from their marriage, I was born. So I'm considered here in the States a Black & Middle Eastern person. I'm American born cause I was born in Chicago, Illinois.
@Kany-496 We eat chicken legs, too. I might be sheltered to all the parts of the chicken included at people's tables for all I know. When we get chicken served to us by someone personally, at a restaurant, or an outing or festival like that, it's usually legs, thighs, breasts, wings, and some insides as a specialty like the gizzard and the liver. But I have to think about I'm up in a huge inner city, Chicago. I'm also in a Northern state of the United States of America. My grandma on my mother's side was born down South in the southern state of Mississippi. Grandma talked alot about eating more parts of animal meat than she served me, and that is not always served up here in Chicago. She probably was served some part of a chicken's head for all I know. I think my mom said my great-grandmother, who helped raise my Grandma Minnie, had chickens around their home and would ring their neck to prepare them for lunch and dinner. 🙂
Thanks for this cool video!!❤️ Loved to see everything at the festival, those traditional dancers were awesome! You yourself looked really good dancing, so don't feel shy about it! 👍💃 It's really fascinating to see your way of life. 🙂❤️❤️
It is nice to see what porridge is made from there in Kenya. Here in America there are different kinds of grains used for porridge like hominy for grits and oats for oatmeal; the two most common porridges here. Some people eat barley porridge and other kinds from other grains. 🙂
@Kany-496 Yes, it is a porridge eaten the way it was cooked for someone when they were a child or by the recipe they prefer to use. I grew up with Grandma using only hot water to fix it with a sweetener (sugar or sugar substitute for diabetics) and butter (or margarine). But you are right. Most people fix their oatmeal using milk. Someone close to me grew up with their mom fixing their oatmeal that way. 🙂
I am so honored to be able to see this. It's amazing to see how beautiful your life is. Thank you for sharing this. I found the vision of what your sky and clouds looked mind-blowing. No wonder you are so lovely coming from such a rich land. ❤❤
🥰 wow! Wow! Wow! Maureen this was absoutely beautiful to watch! Shout out to all the dancers,the cooks and a special shout out to the man who spoke about the value of your culture, you get to understand yourself! I agree💯 celebrating one's culture and traditions gives us a better understanding of our history and where we come from, also helps us appreciate the diverse culture that make up the world! Cngratulations to you and your sister for giving us this very beautiful video! As always take care my friend! Love from the USA ❤️🇺🇸❤️
That was such fun. Loved the dancers. I would get up and dance. I think I need a new battery for my phone ( it's old) I can't get through the long videos without stopping and recharging. This one was really happy and fun. Did your Mom go? Hope you all had a good time. 😻😁😻
Loving this! Thank you for showing us your slice of the world. Everyone was so hospitable and festive. It's that spirit of togetherness and music and dance that makes festivals so awesome 😊 (though I suck at dancing lol). I think it would be amazing to go to Kenya. Ever since I was a kid I had wanted to learn Swahili, so maybe one day when i can travel, i can speak it in your country!
