    I live in South Africa where “Bantu” means people (in the Nguni languages) here so we didn’t call them that until American popular culture filtered into our social media etc. I grew up calling the Pom-poms or amabhola (the second term literally just means balls lol)..
    Your journey is lovely to watch

    • @creolela

      That’s interesting . I’ve always known them for Bantu knots because of Africans called them that. When showed that the women were married or something along that line.

If I find more that are the right size I’ll let y’all know in a video! ❤️
