Why is eveyone so shocked whenever they see a large percentage of European or indigenous/Native American. Remember how colonization and the slave trade worked.
I mean, Hispanic isn't a race. It just means someone whose native language is Spanish, in a Spanish speaking country. Plus, the majority of Guatemalan's are Native American. Being Native American doesn't only apply to the U.S, it applies to all of the Americas. That's why your Native American percentage was so high😊
Juju Beat thank you! It's so irritating that people don't know the history of Latin America, especially the racial mixing that varies from country to country.
thank you for pointing that out. Native American is not only the US. it puzzles me why so many african americans know so little about these type of things
My AncestryDNA results came back 87% African, 35% of which was Nigerian which I thought was soo cool! I’m also 11% European, 1% Native American, & 1% West Asian. Thanks for sharing your results, love! 💗
I'm not surprised at all that you have such a high percentage of Native American :) Look at your father and his family, they appear very much Native American and they are from Guatemala, a country of indigenous peoples (aka Native Americans). They're dark skinned with thick black hair and strong features! Native people of the Americas may speak Spanish languages but that does not make them Spanish. Spanish people are European, white people. It took me a while to realize all of this myself lmao but this is so fascinating! I loved this video. I really wanna find my results now!!
azure kite yes, there are people who are citizens of Spain and yet do not have ethnic origins in Spain. Spanish people, as an ethnic group, are European lol just as there are white people in South Africa who might consider themselves South African, but ethnically wise they are European white.
I wasnt surprised by your results. When you put up pics of your people you could totally see the Native American and European roots, I was even thinking Creole. Anyway you shuffle it, youre gorgeous with an even more gorgeous spirit. SO glad you were able to do this, tfs!
If I'm not mistaken, most Latinos nowadays have a mix of European and Native American ancestry due to the Spanish settlers mingling with the Native Americans, which explains why you have that DNA. I haven't taken one of those tests yet, but my mom did a while back and she's 60% West African (mainly Nigerian, I think she said). I definitely want to do it also!
Victoria Joy Most Latinos are Mestizo, basically meaning being mixed with Indigenous blood, African blood, and European blood due to colonialism. Pretty interesting!
that European % could of came from her mother side, though. i mean cause African americans seem to have some percentage of European blood. my speculation is that it comes from both side.
Your Native American came from your father, who is Guatemalan. He is mostly Mayan Indian. I watched a video of a Mexican girl, and her DNA turned out to be 95% Native American, which means she was mostly Aztec in origin. She took a trip to Viet Nam, and most of the people there thought she was multi-racial, asking if her mother was Chinese or Filipino, as she looked rather Asian. I took Ancestry DNA test, and was pleased with my results. I've been researching my family history since 1978, and the test backed up my research 100%. I'm 64% English, 15% Scottish, 9% German, 8% Irish, 4% Welsh.
hey its gianna oh stop it. There is nothing wrong in being mixed and you don’t know for sure unless you do a dna. You would be surprised how “mixed” we all are!
God'sDaughter you just contradicted the OP’s comment. Please know that I am not being rude but Your maternal family is mixed and that explains your hair type..simple. I know a lot of girls followed jewelliana because they thought both her parents were black and felt they could achieve her curls too. I’m from Central America and have a similar mixture to hers, however my hair has much looser waves but my sister’s hair is more like jewliiana’s with tighter more defined curls, so yes I agree that the way genes show up in a person is interesting. But the bottom line is that you MUST have those genes present to show up in the first place!
Shan Iki I never said there was anything wrong with being mixed. If you’re mixed, that’s ok, and if you’re not mixed, that’s ok. There are full black people with no mixed parents or grandparents with jewellianna’s hair type/type 3 hair. For example a youTuber named Nia Imani is fully black with type 3 hair.
You would be hard pressed to find a non-mixed West African with hair like hers. African Americans are multi-generationally mixed. That's why some of us have 3c hair. Black Africans don't have type 3 hair unless they are mixed. Nia Imani doesn't know what she is until she takes a DNA test.
Most ethnic groups in Central/South America are derived from Native American people Mayan, Aztec, Incan etc. It simply means the people who were indigenous to the America's. The names of countries like 'Guatemala' just came after European/Spaniard presence. Spaniards took over NATIVE American land and inserted their language. They aren't Spanish they are Native American. The same way Blacks are not English/from England. Lol, so it would make sense that you had a large portion of Native American being your father is from there.
These results were so interesting!!! The European results were the most shocking to me too! Since your my sister, I wanna do it now to see what's going on in my DNA! And you looked so beautiful in this video😍😍
I’m from South Carolina. Gullah Geechee to be exact and when I did my ancestry testing I got 89% African, 9% European, 1% Native American and 1% Pacific Islander
My mother is Hispanic and my father is black. Since taking my Dna test, I’ve devoted an immense amount of time researching and learning about the histories and different types of “native” people. The Native American can also translate as meso American which are the central or southern Native American people. My family is from northern Mexico who migrated and own a large amount of land in south Texas. My ancestry is also Native American, but I know through tracing my family lineage back we come from conversing Jews who left Spain to settle in a new land a live out their Jewish lifestyle (which still didn’t work). So the European can also not only be from slave trade, but from your fathers side and makeup of Spanish European decent! There is so much to learn, and when one takes the time to learn, the better understanding we have of how we get to where we are today in our world. It also gives you a more compassionate heart towards people when you understand the different struggles and sacrifices that our ancestors made that provided us the lives we have today!
My Ancestry DNA results were: (I have 2 black parents) Africa: 82% --Cameroon/Congo: 21% Nigeria: 14% Senegal: 13% Benin/Togo: 12% Ivory Coast/Ghana: 10% Africa Southeastern Bantu: 10% Mali: 2% Asia:
Most people in Latin America have a massive majority of Iberian/Southern European DNA... it makes sense historically :) So I wasn't surprised considering your dad's origins!
Your father is not Black so you were always going to be a maximum of 50% African. Combine that with the fact that slaveholders and overseers had their way with the slaves, then you fall under 50% African. I’m actually surprised that you are surprised.
That's not true. People from Central America and the Carribbean tend to have very diverse mixtures, slave ships stopped there, as well as Asian/Indian explorers, and Indigenous tribes were there before Europeans ever arrived.
Very interesting results you have there! I did the AncestryDNA test last month and my results came back as: 81% African - - 18% Nigerian - 17% Ivory Coast/Ghana - 17% Cameroon/Congo - 12% Benin/Togo - 8% African Southeastern Bantu - 4% Senegal - 3% Mali - 1% Africa North - 1% African South-Central Hunter-Gatherers 17% European - - 9% Great Britain - 5% Scandinavia - 3% Ireland 1% Asia Central 1% Native American
I got my results from Ancestry DNA, and the results were what I expected given what my parents told me: Africa - 39%:Cameroon/Congo - 12%Senegal - 10% Europe - 56%:Italy/Greece - 18% Iberian Peninsula - 13%Ireland - 11% America - 4%: Native American - 4% The rest are trace regions. P.S. I'm French, Spanish, Dominican, English, Irish, and African American. Given the migrating histories of those ethnicities my results reflected that perfectly.
I took my results with ancestry last year. I'm 87% Black, 12% European, and 1% Asian. My mom got her results earlier this year from 23andme. Her's is 80% Black| 18.3% European| 0.7% Native American|
Someone Native americans come into a small percentage of black americans because of the hidden history. Native americans actually enslaved Africans too, Surprised yes i don't know why because native americans went threw slavery (enslaved by the white people) So why would you enslave someone if you know how it feels , but that really doesn't come threw peoples minds for some reason.
I was also going to mention the high percentage of native American and Asian was due to her father's side NOT her mother's. The European and African was from her mother and most (not all) of the native and Asian from dad's Guatemalan ancestry. Still an interesting story and beautiful young lady. Mine is 69% African, 21% European/other (
Keisha Actually, the indigenous people, which includes indigenous people of present day Guatemala, are the native people of the Americas. When they say Americas, they're referring to both continents (north and South America). Regardless of what tribe the indigenous people belonged to, they are the native people of the Americas
Kaylani Woods but what if the natives that owned slaves never went threw it? Would they really know how it feels then? I don’t think enslaved natives would enslaved someone else
Anisa Ali, I expected SOME European blood, but 65/35 is ridiculously close to 50/50. My grandparents were Black too. I knew all four of them. They were obviously mixed to look at them, but...geeze. I thought it would be more like 85/15.
My Ancestry DNA results: Africa:81% Ivory Coast/Ghana33% Nigeria 17% Africa Southeastern Bantu 11% Cameroon/Congo 9% Senegal 5% Benin/Togo 3% Mali 1% Africa South-Central Hunter-Gatherers < 1% Africa North < 1% Asia: 3% Asia Central 3% Europe: 15% Ireland 7% Italy/Greece 3% Great Britain 3% Europe West < 1% Iberian Peninsula
I used Ancestry.com and I was 78% African; 19% European; and 3% Asian. I was surprised by the Asian and European percentages. Just like you said, I’d always heard there was Native American in my family, but-issa “no”. 😂😂
Alisa S I was wondering if you’re a Nigerian taking a DNA test to see or an African American wanting so see your roots that’s all. I’m fully Nigerian- born and partly raised but I still want to take one to see what other parts of Africa in from.
Ah. I see. I am African American. I am surprised to see that high a concentration of Nigerian given that fact. I am looking forward to visiting Nigeria in the future.
Alisa S oh alright and yeah wow that’s really surprising- some Nigerians have taken tests on yt and their percentage isn’t even that high. Yeah you should definitely come, however it’s really not all roses in Nigeria even in the city😂 so if you do try and get someone Nigerian to stay with. But welcome to the fam❤️🇳🇬
lool why everyone thinks Jamaicans are mixed. We have a cultural diversity but majority still black. And that tale or belief of having an Indian grandparent , 'coolie' runs wild.
All the people saying she doesn’t look mixed can you tell me what mixed looks like? I’m just curious. // Anywho this is super cool I’m so skeptical with these test but since I know most of my family history I want to see if it’s on point. You got me all excited!
Ayeeeee I’m 87% African (mainly from Benin and Togo), 10% European(mainly Italian and Spaniard), 2% East Asian, and 1% Native American I’m so glad that I took the DNA test I was so happy to finally know more about my African ancestry and since then I have connected to my cultures I also found out that I’m Yoruba
Jewelliana I'm not surprised you had that high of a percentage of native American east asian. I was expecting it to be higher since you're dad is Guatemalan. Those genes are strong girl. Really curious as to what the Unassigned is . Good video not too surprised. Now I want to do it
Iveth Medina your english is GREAT. Sigue practicando. Yo tengo que practicar mi español. Yo soy de NY mis padres Dominicanos. Thank you for telling us about your beautiful country and culture maybe I can visit one day. Saludos desde Orlando Florida
So you commented to call someone stupid? There is a difference between someone who is uninformed than someone who is stupid. Do you feel better? Did you make your parents proud? Smh...
Yeahhh. I’m quarter Indian (and black, my mum is mixed Indian and black) but I don’t have such long curly hair. Neither does my mum she only has soft curly hair which is really short and I have an Afro which is up to my collar bone so different hair types really don’t define where you are from. 🥰
Wow your results are so cool. You have results from every continent. Truly a global beauty. You have Iberian which is like Spanish/Portuguese, Southern European which is Greek /Italian, African, Asian & native America! Amazing results!
You definitely can see the Native American in your grand and great--grand parents pics. While I was traveling in Africa my mother found out that she was mostly Nigerian after taking a DNA kit; thought that was cool. She always thought there was some Native in the blood but she had "0%". I want to get my DNA results done because I'm mixed with more things in my blood due to my father having European blood and other unknown ethnicities; but considers himself Black. I will probably be shocked just like you were with my results!☺️
Girl You and HeyItsMorgan need to link up. You two look alike, sound alike and have the same personality. Seriously reach out! Oh and you two are drop dead gorgeous and have bomb curly hair!
Ive learned to just keep my dna to myself--no shade to u whatsoever. I only say this because people...FOR SOME DANG REASON...get REAL nasty when u share this information. Then they try to say what u are and are not and I will reveal i discovered I have Nigerian in my bloodline and when I tried to tell other 100% Nigerians who were my acquaintances at the time, they all laughed at me in such a wicked way. For some reason AAs are disliked by pure Africans...it really hurt my feelings. I always get asked what im mixed with so now i just reply with "a lot/everything"
Yea, people can't tell the difference between culture and ethnicity. Ethnically you are Nigerian, but culturally you are black American (if you are American, you could be Canadian, I don't know you personally)
My DNA results came back 49% African-mostly Ghana, 47% European-mostly Irish, and 3% Asian -Polynesian I literary thought I was primarily African American!
African American is an ethnicity. African/Black is a pan-ethnicity/race. Just bc both of your parents are AA, does not mean that you are 100% African or Black
Hello Jewlianna !! so happy that you did it ! Me I am african living in Africa. i was not wondering so much about DNA test and ancestors until I decided my hair revert natural (inspired by you by the way despite the fact we do not have the same hair types). Now i'd like to know more about my DNA but I am not sure i will learn something new. I am so happy that you people try to know more about your ancestors. keep up ! kisses
I took a DNA test and my results were 45% Nigeria, 30% Cameroon, Congo and Southern Bantu People's and 12% Mali and 7% England, Wales, and North Western Europe, 2% Sweden, 2% Senegal, 1% Norway, 1 Ireland & Scotland. I was born and raised in southern North Carolina. I was looking up videos about it and ran into your video. Great video by the way.
Honestly your DNA breakdown probably should’ve been expected. Lol, you are black and Hispanic/Latino. Many black Americans have a 20-40% European in their blood because of slavery. As for Your Hispanic/Latino side, Hispanic means Spanish speaking and Latino means you are from Latin America, you can be one without the other and that’s kinda important to know before I move on. Most latinos are native Americans. They were native Americans before the Spanish (Spain AKA Europeans) came. Your Latino IS your Native American, that’s why it’s so high. Your European is high because when Spain colonized a lot of the countries in Latin America, it implanted its European roots into the native land, AND slavery/rape on Your Africa side. It’s always interesting to find out your genetic makeup, but knowing world history AND just finding out where your family comes from/what they are and using the two of those things together will help one figure it out.(For those who don’t want to pay). More of a surprise would’ve been Asian (not east, because they have direct ties to native Americans) or middle eastern and the countries it list
Mike Davis it’s definitely higher than that. Lol. How do you explain so many light skin and lighter brown skinned blacks? We are not mixed. Many of us lighter ones come from families of all black on both sides. My whole dads side of the family is light skin, None are mixed. Many black people gave higher percentages that 5-15, and while it may not be 40 I clearly remember it being higher like 30 something. While there are people who are mostly African, the average African America is not more than 75%. And the average African American is also not mixed with anything but European and a very slim percent of native, if they have that.
There are definitely people in central and west africa that have lighter skin that didn't come from having any other DNA. Being african =/= being dark. Light skin isn't exclusive to multiethnic people
My AncestryDNA results came back 92% African, 1% Native American, and 7% European. I'm from Florida. My MyHeritage results came back 94.6% African, 1% Native and the rest European. Your European isn't a surprise though because it's your Spanish heritage and Hispanics are largely Native American, which is why your Native was so high.
Love your videos - you’re so pretty!! I was always taught that Central and South America is a mix of Indigenous and Spaniard (European). So your results don’t seem too shocking. 😊 My dad is Black and my mom is Iroquois American Indian.
Many central/ south American have African ancestry to different degree depending whats their ethnicity or background(i.e mestizo,zambo,mulato and ect..)
there are also lots of afro people in panama, costa rica, colombia, brazil the guyana's etc A LOT ! And indians, lebanese, chinese, javanese etc in brazil you will find a lot of people from japan and dont forget, there are also a lot of white people (not only spanish white)... Its a big mix.
I’m pretty much a mutt like you except for the European. I’m east and west African. Native American. Southern American, Egyptian, Italian, The same % Jewish . My hair is curly like yours. Heritage is so interesting.
My DNA results via Family tree DNA 84% African -79% West African -4% East African -2% South African 11% European -All eastern European 3% Middle Eastern (North African) -Primarily Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia 2% Native American & East Asian
Hey JeweJewe!!! My name is Calia Bynum. I took a DNA test about 2 years ago using the AncestryDNA kit. My results were also super shocking. Before my results I thought I was just Black and a little Native American. I didn't know much about my dads dad and that side of the family and I wasn't familiar with any of my heritage or background. When I got my results back it told me that I was mixed with over 13 regions/races. I am 49% Black with 5 different regions of Africa. I am 50% European with a variety of different regions and 1% East Asian.
According to 23andMe, I am 85.3% Sub-Saharan African (Nigerian, Ghanian, and Sierra Leonean, Congolese and East African), 11.3% European (French and German, British and Irish), 1.3% Western Asian and North African, 1.2% East Asian and Native American, 0.1% Central and South Asian, 0.8 unassigned, and Jamaican ancestry. I just find this out in July 2020, but it confirms what my family has told me all my life about being African-American, Jamaican, German, and Native American. For the health part, straight & wavy hair came up for me too, and my hair is similar to your curl pattern, and I had lots of newborn hair as a newborn too.
Girl lmao listen. It's obvious you are of African origin ok cool. You said your dad is Guatemalan ? Right . That is still considered Native American . His pale skin color comes from his Spain background which is in Europe which is why it showed you 15% When people think Native American they skip past Mexico central Latin America some Carribbean islands like Puerto Rico , Cuba, Dominican Republic etc, and South America too.
Idk how she didn't know about her Native American/Asian and European roots. Those she should've known about. Maybe she doesn't know that much about her Hispanic roots. What does she think Latinos are? Lol
All Latinos are not the same. Most Guatemalans are Natives , or partially Native, but one can still be 100% sub African origin and be Latino , or 100% European and be Latino. Latino just means you come from Latin America and speak Spanish.
simet mena I know that, but the vast majority isn't "pure" 100% anything. I was just saying I don't know why she was surprised when it was a more likely a possibility than not.
Loved the video! You have a really diverse ancestry, a beautiful mix. Im part dutch part hungarian, but i'd love to know my ancestry a lot better. Im for sure going to buy a dna test 😊
As soon as I saw pictures of your family, I thought to myself, "She's Native American." 😂😂 Your paternal great grandparents look like some of my family members. I have been told by my parents that I am Native American, West African, and some European as well. My paternal side of the family is of the Gullah culture, so basically, West African. My mom is a mix of Native, African, and European. I have wanted to do genetic testing for awhile, just to know for sure.
I’m Jamaican - black and Indian so I kind of knew what to expect 45% South Asia 2% Middle East 42% West Africa (Bantu etc) 1% Native American and here’s the shocker 10% West European craaazy
Blessings! I just received my kit this past week, and I provided my DNA sample and sent off the kit right away! I can't wait until the results come back, I don't have a fixed idea on what ethnic groups will be represented in my background (Okay, I identify as black, but obviously that comes with a wide umbrella. We shall see!)
I was born in VA. My mom was born in VA and my dad was born in New Orleans, LA. My background is Creole(where there is a mix of European/Europe West) & African mostly in Nigeria...my brother took this test so I could be Native American & Asian as well but I’m going to take my test myself the beginning of next year! I’m too excited! My fiancé was born in Washington DC as well & was told by his parents he could have a mix of Jamaican and of course African.
I've already done ancestryDNA, but I just had to buy 23andMe today also! They're having a black friday sale where you can save $30 on the ancestry report, and $50 on the ancestry and wellness report! I know my uncle used 23andMe, and was literally 99.7% ashkenazi jewish, and 0.2% Broadly European and the rest unassigned. I am only half Jewish, but come from an especially dark jewish father. I am applying to schools in Italy, Ireland, Scotland, and England, and my passion is the Israel-Palestine crisis. I hope to major in International Relations, and geneology and genetics are fascinating to me because they may interconnect. I'm interested to see the similarities between the services, and have an even richer understanding of who I am. I can't wait to show my primarily British/Irish/Western European mom how her influence conveys too! I hope to become even more knowledgable because I am often asked why I say being Jewish is an ethnicity above a religion. I only this fall changed my identity from Atheist to Secular Jewish after 8 years+. Love your hair, and this video. I was also wondering (naively) if people of African descent experience changes in their curls through the seasons... I haven't been able to get my usual jew curls since the weather got colder! My AncestryDNA results were 41% European Jewish, 19% Western Europe(Fr/Ger), 8% each of British and Irish/Scottish/Welsh, 7% Iberian, 5% each of Scandinavian/Europe South/Europe East, and 2% Finland/NW Russia!
You are so beautiful! Your family history is rich and thank you for sharing with us all. I was adopted when I was a child and my birth certificate said I was caucasian, I am obviously of African descent this comes as a shocker to many. My DNA results yielded similar to you in that I am also 45% African and 55% Caucasian and a small 5% of South Asian. It is interesting to see the regions in which our ancestors are linked to and for someone like myself who was the only colored child among the majority of my peers, it was a feeling of freedom to finally know a little bit of who I am.
Why is eveyone so shocked whenever they see a large percentage of European or indigenous/Native American. Remember how colonization and the slave trade worked.
Razhanee Dejoie Apparently no one paid attention is history class.😞
Razhanee Dejoie 😂😂😂👏
Yeah, just about all African Americans have European in them🙄

thank you for pointing that out. Native American is not only the US. it puzzles me why so many african americans know so little about these type of things
Exactly
Juju Beat if black seems to apply to US Americans only then native American only applies to US natives as well
it's really obvious that your dad's side of the family is heavily native american.. they're native to "guatemala," most likely mayans

I'm not surprised at all that you have such a high percentage of Native American :) Look at your father and his family, they appear very much Native American and they are from Guatemala, a country of indigenous peoples (aka Native Americans).

Bethany Camille So you are native american?😊
PREACH girl. People have to know the definition and the difference between Spanish and hispanic. hispanic isn't a race.
Neither is Spanish.
+Bethany Camille Spanish is also a nationality as well, so they're are Black, and Asian people who were born in Spain that are Spanish people as well.
azure kite yes, there are people who are citizens of Spain and yet do not have ethnic origins in Spain. Spanish people, as an ethnic group, are European lol just as there are white people in South Africa who might consider themselves South African, but ethnically wise they are European white.
Guatemalans are mostly indigenous. So it makes sense that you are have that high percentage.
I wasnt surprised by your results. When you put up pics of your people you could totally see the Native American and European roots, I was even thinking Creole. Anyway you shuffle it, youre gorgeous with an even more gorgeous spirit. SO glad you were able to do this, tfs!
Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate it a lot! ☺️ ☺️😘

If I'm not mistaken, most Latinos nowadays have a mix of European and Native American ancestry due to the Spanish settlers mingling with the Native Americans, which explains why you have that DNA.

Yes, that's very true! After getting my results, I looked it up and everything made a lot more sense! lol And you should definitely do one! ☺️
Victoria Joy Most Latinos are Mestizo, basically meaning being mixed with Indigenous blood, African blood, and European blood due to colonialism. Pretty interesting!
Okudzeto Ackah Yeah, I definitely could've worded that better. Sorry about that.
Victoria Joy that’s my son
that European % could of came from her mother side, though. i mean cause African americans seem to have some percentage of European blood. my speculation is that it comes from both side.
Your Native American came from your father, who is Guatemalan. He is mostly Mayan Indian. I watched a video of a Mexican girl, and her DNA turned out to be 95% Native American, which means she was mostly Aztec in origin.

Just wanted to put out there you don’t have to be “mixed” to have the same type of hair or curl pattern as jewellianna

Most ethnic groups in Central/South America are derived from Native American people Mayan, Aztec, Incan etc. It simply means the people who were indigenous to the America's. The names of countries like 'Guatemala' just came after European/Spaniard presence. Spaniards took over NATIVE American land and inserted their language. They aren't Spanish they are Native American. The same way Blacks are not English/from England. Lol, so it would make sense that you had a large portion of Native American being your father is from there.
Thank you for sharing that information!! 😄😄😄😄
Exactly, her father very well could be mestizo, a mixture of native and Spaniard given the fact that he is from Guatemala.
Jewellianna Palencia you are more than welcome 😘
These results were so interesting!!! The European results were the most shocking to me too! Since your my sister, I wanna do it now to see what's going on in my DNA! And you looked so beautiful in this video😍😍
Thank you Sammy! I appreciate it!! And yes, I want you to take one also!
Now that tge results are out, i definitely see the Native American features in you girls 😱💓😭
Samantha Palencia you and your sister should do a video together 😍😍😍😍😍
Yea could you guys please do a sibling tag video
Samantha Palencia a lot of african americans have european ancestry
I’m from South Carolina. Gullah Geechee to be exact and when I did my ancestry testing I got 89% African, 9% European, 1% Native American and 1% Pacific Islander
GoddessChel26 Hey there, my Gullah sister! My family is from Beaufort, SC. Coosaw Island to be exact.
GoddessChel26 what part of sc are you from. I'm from Charleston
Hey I’m from Charleston sc , my results was 97% African 2% European 1% Pacific Islander ....
Hey Geechee ppl 🍍🌴❤️. I’m from Charleston too. My moms side came from the James island and downtown area and my fathers is Summerville/Jedburg
I’m from Beaufort,SC myself!
My mother is Hispanic and my father is black. Since taking my Dna test, I’ve devoted an immense amount of time researching and learning about the histories and different types of “native” people. The Native American can also translate as meso American which are the central or southern Native American people. My family is from northern Mexico who migrated and own a large amount of land in south Texas. My ancestry is also Native American, but I know through tracing my family lineage back we come from conversing Jews who left Spain to settle in a new land a live out their Jewish lifestyle (which still didn’t work). So the European can also not only be from slave trade, but from your fathers side and makeup of Spanish European decent!
There is so much to learn, and when one takes the time to learn, the better understanding we have of how we get to where we are today in our world. It also gives you a more compassionate heart towards people when you understand the different struggles and sacrifices that our ancestors made that provided us the lives we have today!
My Ancestry DNA results were: (I have 2 black parents)
Africa: 82%
--Cameroon/Congo: 21%
Nigeria: 14%
Senegal: 13%
Benin/Togo: 12%
Ivory Coast/Ghana: 10%
Africa Southeastern Bantu: 10%
Mali: 2%
Asia:
That's awesome! And thanks for sharing; love you too!!!😘
Ayy Nigeria 🇳🇬 I’m Nigerian too
Congo reppin🔥
Cameroon is lit so welcome to the party 😂
Aye Ivory Coast and Mali
Most people in Latin America have a massive majority of Iberian/Southern European DNA... it makes sense historically :) So I wasn't surprised considering your dad's origins!
a tip: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Milo Rocky yup, been using Flixzone for since november myself :D
@Milo Rocky yup, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :D
In addition most African Americans also have European
Your father is not Black so you were always going to be a maximum of 50% African. Combine that with the fact that slaveholders and overseers had their way with the slaves, then you fall under 50% African. I’m actually surprised that you are surprised.
Lol me too. Nothing shocking since her dad is Hispanic.
@@dom4days326 I'm fully Hispanic and I'm 82 percent Sub Sarahan African
That's not true. People from Central America and the Carribbean tend to have very diverse mixtures, slave ships stopped there, as well as Asian/Indian explorers, and Indigenous tribes were there before Europeans ever arrived.
im Honduran multi generational mixed with 2 biracial Grandads n my African dna results is 46.7% African
lol Like they were all slaves back then. XD Some of them were the slave owners.
Very interesting results you have there! I did the AncestryDNA test last month and my results came back as:
81% African -
- 18% Nigerian
- 17% Ivory Coast/Ghana
- 17% Cameroon/Congo
- 12% Benin/Togo
- 8% African Southeastern Bantu
- 4% Senegal
- 3% Mali
- 1% Africa North
- 1% African South-Central Hunter-Gatherers
17% European -
- 9% Great Britain
- 5% Scandinavia
- 3% Ireland
1% Asia Central
1% Native American
93% African, 6% European, and 1% West Asian. According to my Ancestry DNA test
Make sense for indigenous because of her dad. Always exciting to find out your history ❤️
Dude, how are you feeaking surprised you're Native American?! Your dad is from freaking Guatemala! Duh!
My 23andme results were 74.9% African 23.2% European and 1.7% Native American. My father is black and mother is Cajun, Creole, and Black.
Cajun, Creole and Black 😂😂
My 23 & Me results came back not to surprised. 72% West African, 26% European, 1% Native American, 1.8%Asian
I got my results from Ancestry DNA, and the results were what I expected given what my parents told me: Africa - 39%:Cameroon/Congo - 12%Senegal - 10%
Europe - 56%:Italy/Greece - 18%
Iberian Peninsula - 13%Ireland - 11%
America - 4%: Native American - 4%
The rest are trace regions. P.S. I'm French, Spanish, Dominican, English, Irish, and African American. Given the migrating histories of those ethnicities my results reflected that perfectly.
Black DNA is so strong😂✊🏾
Noni Rumberry ...you can be dark and not look black, genius.
All I'm saying is that I would have never known that she was anything other than black. Y'all sound so hurt.
In her case it is.
Yes BLACK DNA is strong African folks have the strongest genes on the planet next to Native Americans
Aurora Beauchamp she was saying that because of her facial features stupid
omg this is so cool! also, 9.7% is a LOT of unassigned DNA… ever think about using a different company? 💞
That unassigned is more native, 4 sure, the company probably has not a good sample of central American native dna
I took my results with ancestry last year. I'm 87% Black, 12% European, and 1% Asian.
My mom got her results earlier this year from 23andme. Her's is 80% Black| 18.3% European| 0.7% Native American|
Rhonda nnn
The Native American showing up in your results refers to the indigenous people of Guatemala not Native Americans from the United States! ☺
Someone Native americans come into a small percentage of black americans because of the hidden history. Native americans actually enslaved Africans too, Surprised yes i don't know why because native americans went threw slavery (enslaved by the white people) So why would you enslave someone if you know how it feels , but that really doesn't come threw peoples minds for some reason.
Keisha That's what I was thinking too.
I was also going to mention the high percentage of native American and Asian was due to her father's side NOT her mother's. The European and African was from her mother and most (not all) of the native and Asian from dad's Guatemalan ancestry. Still an interesting story and beautiful young lady. Mine is 69% African, 21% European/other (
Keisha Actually, the indigenous people, which includes indigenous people of present day Guatemala, are the native people of the Americas. When they say Americas, they're referring to both continents (north and South America). Regardless of what tribe the indigenous people belonged to, they are the native people of the Americas
Kaylani Woods but what if the natives that owned slaves never went threw it? Would they really know how it feels then? I don’t think enslaved natives would enslaved someone else
I was SHOCKED that my DNA results came back 65% African and 35% European -- with TWO Black Parents. WTF???
Oh wow!! It's soooo crazy what you can find out from DNA!! lol
Majority of African Americans can trace some euro ancestry in their blood. A lot from rape by plantation owners :/
I’m not shocked!
One of you great great grandparents probably. Can't be too far back.
Anisa Ali, I expected SOME European blood, but 65/35 is ridiculously close to 50/50. My grandparents were Black too. I knew all four of them. They were obviously mixed to look at them, but...geeze. I thought it would be more like 85/15.

I used Ancestry.com and I was 78% African; 19% European; and 3% Asian. I was surprised by the Asian and European percentages. Just like you said, I’d always heard there was Native American in my family, but-issa “no”. 😂😂
I am 73% Nigerian and all the rest is Eastern and Western European. Most Blacks do have European ancestry...for obvious reasons.
Alisa S 🇳🇬🇳🇬. Are you Nigerian or African American?
My DNA says Nigerian. Why do you ask?
Alisa S I was wondering if you’re a Nigerian taking a DNA test to see or an African American wanting so see your roots that’s all. I’m fully Nigerian- born and partly raised but I still want to take one to see what other parts of Africa in from.
Ah. I see. I am African American. I am surprised to see that high a concentration of Nigerian given that fact. I am looking forward to visiting Nigeria in the future.
Alisa S oh alright and yeah wow that’s really surprising- some Nigerians have taken tests on yt and their percentage isn’t even that high. Yeah you should definitely come, however it’s really not all roses in Nigeria even in the city😂 so if you do try and get someone Nigerian to stay with. But welcome to the fam❤️🇳🇬
Loved this video ! Please do a hair growth video since your cut and how you been getting your hair longer.
Thank you!! And okay!!
Yass i have been waiting for that video
Candyce Miller girl bye. her hair is long because she takes care of it. Whoever told you only mixed girls can grow long hair lied to you
WRONG... My hair is long and Im not mixed :/
your hair is absolutley beautiful
I did my DNA test through ancestry and I ended up being 77% African and 23% Great Britain
My parents are Jamaican so I can't wait to do a DNA test since a lot of people from the west indies are mixed.
It's so true!
My parents are Jamaican too but my moms dad was Indian so everyone in my family calls me a koolie😂🇯🇲
Same my parents are Jamaican and my dads mother is awawak so I always wanted to do one of these but a skeptic about these DNA tests
lool why everyone thinks Jamaicans are mixed. We have a cultural diversity but majority still black. And that tale or belief of having an Indian grandparent , 'coolie' runs wild.
Jamaican here
All the people saying she doesn’t look mixed can you tell me what mixed looks like? I’m just curious. // Anywho this is super cool I’m so skeptical with these test but since I know most of my family history I want to see if it’s on point. You got me all excited!
Stylysh- she looks like a typical Black American. But of phenotype can be subjective depending on the person
Ayeeeee I’m 87% African (mainly from Benin and Togo), 10% European(mainly Italian and Spaniard), 2% East Asian, and 1% Native American I’m so glad that I took the DNA test I was so happy to finally know more about my African ancestry and since then I have connected to my cultures I also found out that I’m Yoruba
Jewelliana I'm not surprised you had that high of a percentage of native American east asian. I was expecting it to be higher since you're dad is Guatemalan. Those genes are strong girl. Really curious as to what the Unassigned is . Good video not too surprised. Now I want to do it
Yeah, I never knew that those genes were so strong until now! lol And yes, I'm very curious too! 😄😄😄😄
Iveth Medina your english is GREAT. Sigue practicando. Yo tengo que practicar mi español. Yo soy de NY mis padres Dominicanos. Thank you for telling us about your beautiful country and culture maybe I can visit one day. Saludos desde Orlando Florida
Your hair is EVERYTHING!!
What did she think her dad was if she was surprised to see native american and european in the results???
She thought her dad was only 1/4th percent Native American due to who her grandparents were.
Watching you from France, enjoying your good energy !! Keep doing your video like that !
Her dad looks heavily native american so it sounds kind of stupid that she didn't know she has that much of native american ancestry on her
true
Exactly😂
She clearly doesn't know her Guatemalan heritage,that's why ,she's so
shocked?
So you commented to call someone stupid? There is a difference between someone who is uninformed than someone who is stupid. Do you feel better? Did you make your parents proud? Smh...
Your hair is incredibly beautiful 💚
Yeahhh. I’m quarter Indian (and black, my mum is mixed Indian and black) but I don’t have such long curly hair. Neither does my mum she only has soft curly hair which is really short and I have an Afro which is up to my collar bone so different hair types really don’t define where you are from. 🥰
Your hair is giving me life
Both of my parents r Nigerian. I'm Nigerian💯❤️🇳🇬
☺️☺️ That's awesome!
Wow your results are so cool. You have results from every continent. Truly a global beauty. You have Iberian which is like Spanish/Portuguese, Southern European which is Greek /Italian, African, Asian & native America! Amazing results!
You definitely can see the Native American in your grand and great--grand parents pics. While I was traveling in Africa my mother found out that she was mostly Nigerian after taking a DNA kit; thought that was cool. She always thought there was some Native in the blood but she had "0%". I want to get my DNA results done because I'm mixed with more things in my blood due to my father having European blood and other unknown ethnicities; but considers himself Black. I will probably be shocked just like you were with my results!☺️
Girl You and HeyItsMorgan need to link up. You two look alike, sound alike and have the same personality. Seriously reach out! Oh and you two are drop dead gorgeous and have bomb curly hair!
Your mom is so pretty 😍
You’re just as sweet as you could be. I’m shocked you didn’t know you had a lot of native when your dad is Guatemalan. Beautiful young lady.
Ive learned to just keep my dna to myself--no shade to u whatsoever. I only say this because people...FOR SOME DANG REASON...get REAL nasty when u share this information. Then they try to say what u are and are not and I will reveal i discovered I have Nigerian in my bloodline and when I tried to tell other 100% Nigerians who were my acquaintances at the time, they all laughed at me in such a wicked way. For some reason AAs are disliked by pure Africans...it really hurt my feelings. I always get asked what im mixed with so now i just reply with "a lot/everything"
hahahahaha. Thanks love :)
Yea, people can't tell the difference between culture and ethnicity. Ethnically you are Nigerian, but culturally you are black American (if you are American, you could be Canadian, I don't know you personally)
Yes, ethnically I am mixed with more than just Nigerian but my nationality is American and my culture is black american
Well...I mean...I was just born in America *shrug* I didn't ask to be.
Your explantions are amazing! I always get good info from your videos
My DNA results came back 49% African-mostly Ghana, 47% European-mostly Irish, and 3% Asian -Polynesian
I literary thought I was primarily African American!
African American is an ethnicity. African/Black is a pan-ethnicity/race. Just bc both of your parents are AA, does not mean that you are 100% African or Black
Jo she said primarily. Not fully.
Hello Jewlianna !! so happy that you did it ! Me I am african living in Africa. i was not wondering so much about DNA test and ancestors until I decided my hair revert natural (inspired by you by the way despite the fact we do not have the same hair types). Now i'd like to know more about my DNA but I am not sure i will learn something new. I am so happy that you people try to know more about your ancestors. keep up ! kisses
Im 70% east African!✊🏿
20% north african!✊🏾
10% middle eastern!✊🏽
☺️☺️☺️
Jewellianna Palencia
Omg you responded! I love your videos!!💖
@@aamiinalovely9084 north african is not black tff, look up north african ppl
I took a DNA test and my results were 45% Nigeria, 30% Cameroon, Congo and Southern Bantu People's and 12% Mali and 7% England, Wales, and North Western Europe, 2% Sweden, 2% Senegal, 1% Norway, 1 Ireland & Scotland. I was born and raised in southern North Carolina. I was looking up videos about it and ran into your video. Great video by the way.
Honestly your DNA breakdown probably should’ve been expected. Lol, you are black and Hispanic/Latino. Many black Americans have a 20-40% European in their blood because of slavery. As for Your Hispanic/Latino side, Hispanic means Spanish speaking and Latino means you are from Latin America, you can be one without the other and that’s kinda important to know before I move on. Most latinos are native Americans. They were native Americans before the Spanish (Spain AKA Europeans) came. Your Latino IS your Native American, that’s why it’s so high. Your European is high because when Spain colonized a lot of the countries in Latin America, it implanted its European roots into the native land, AND slavery/rape on Your Africa side. It’s always interesting to find out your genetic makeup, but knowing world history AND just finding out where your family comes from/what they are and using the two of those things together will help one figure it out.(For those who don’t want to pay). More of a surprise would’ve been Asian (not east, because they have direct ties to native Americans) or middle eastern and the countries it list
the average african americans is 5 to 15 percent european
Mike Davis it’s definitely higher than that. Lol. How do you explain so many light skin and lighter brown skinned blacks? We are not mixed. Many of us lighter ones come from families of all black on both sides. My whole dads side of the family is light skin, None are mixed. Many black people gave higher percentages that 5-15, and while it may not be 40 I clearly remember it being higher like 30 something. While there are people who are mostly African, the average African America is not more than 75%. And the average African American is also not mixed with anything but European and a very slim percent of native, if they have that.
There are definitely people in central and west africa that have lighter skin that didn't come from having any other DNA. Being african =/= being dark. Light skin isn't exclusive to multiethnic people
Sydney M. Hispanic isn't a race though. David Ortiz Is a black HISPANIC and Shakira is a white HISPANIC. Hispanic isn't a race
Sydney M. No blacks normally have 15 or less European
My AncestryDNA results came back 92% African, 1% Native American, and 7% European. I'm from Florida. My MyHeritage results came back 94.6% African, 1% Native and the rest European. Your European isn't a surprise though because it's your Spanish heritage and Hispanics are largely Native American, which is why your Native was so high.
Love your videos - you’re so pretty!! I was always taught that Central and South America is a mix of Indigenous and Spaniard (European). So your results don’t seem too shocking. 😊 My dad is Black and my mom is Iroquois American Indian.
Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And I've never heard of Iroquois before; now I have to google it!! ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
Housewives62 results make sense to me. I mean Guatemala.....
Many central/ south American have African ancestry to different degree depending whats their ethnicity or background(i.e mestizo,zambo,mulato and ect..)
there are also lots of afro people in panama, costa rica, colombia, brazil the guyana's etc A LOT ! And indians, lebanese, chinese, javanese etc in brazil you will find a lot of people from japan and dont forget, there are also a lot of white people (not only spanish white)... Its a big mix.
Congrats super exciting to hear your results...i can't wait to do mines!
I’m pretty much a mutt like you except for the European. I’m east and west African. Native American. Southern American, Egyptian, Italian, The same % Jewish . My hair is curly like yours. Heritage is so interesting.
Im in LOVE with your hair 😍
I’m mixed but was adopted so I have no idea what my ancestry is. I’ve been extremely curious to do this. I’m kind of nervous.
Amanda Demery What were the results?
Awesome results and your hair is poppin😍

Hey JeweJewe!!! My name is Calia Bynum. I took a DNA test about 2 years ago using the AncestryDNA kit. My results were also super shocking. Before my results I thought I was just Black and a little Native American. I didn't know much about my dads dad and that side of the family and I wasn't familiar with any of my heritage or background. When I got my results back it told me that I was mixed with over 13 regions/races. I am 49% Black with 5 different regions of Africa. I am 50% European with a variety of different regions and 1% East Asian.
I'm so early 😳💕
😘❤️ You're the best!!
You have a really wonderful energy about you, don't let anyone tarnish that spirit you have.
We are all mixed ☺️ very interesting I want to take this DNA Test
Awesome video and I really enjoy your family story and your results thanks for sharing!
😘😘😘😘😘
You're gorgeous. I love you 💗💙💗
#Missed you a lot

Jewellianna Palencia 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
According to 23andMe, I am 85.3% Sub-Saharan African (Nigerian, Ghanian, and Sierra Leonean, Congolese and East African), 11.3% European (French and German, British and Irish), 1.3% Western Asian and North African, 1.2% East Asian and Native American, 0.1% Central and South Asian, 0.8 unassigned, and Jamaican ancestry. I just find this out in July 2020, but it confirms what my family has told me all my life about being African-American, Jamaican, German, and Native American. For the health part, straight & wavy hair came up for me too, and my hair is similar to your curl pattern, and I had lots of newborn hair as a newborn too.
Girl lmao listen. It's obvious you are of African origin ok cool. You said your dad is Guatemalan ? Right . That is still considered Native American . His pale skin color comes from his Spain background which is in Europe which is why it showed you 15% When people think Native American they skip past Mexico central Latin America some Carribbean islands like Puerto Rico , Cuba, Dominican Republic etc, and South America too.
Also there is a huge correlation between Native American and Eastern Asia too. Based on phenotype, well appearances
I was really thrown off at how surprised she was.
How...is it possible that you and your parents are both gorgeous as hell??
Half Ghanaian and half Filipino💞
your results make a lot of sense to me. Hispanics are native american mixed with white and black usually. so it makes a lot of sense
☺️☺️
Tgore2 There are quite a few “Hispanics” who have neither indigenous or African ancestry and are entirely European.
Idk how she didn't know about her Native American/Asian and European roots. Those she should've known about. Maybe she doesn't know that much about her Hispanic roots. What does she think Latinos are? Lol
All Latinos are not the same. Most Guatemalans are Natives , or partially Native, but one can still be 100% sub African origin and be Latino , or 100% European and be Latino. Latino just means you come from Latin America and speak Spanish.
simet mena I know that, but the vast majority isn't "pure" 100% anything. I was just saying I don't know why she was surprised when it was a more likely a possibility than not.
LOVE the hair!
Your Native American isn't surprising at all. People from Guatemala have one of the highest percentages of Indigenous people.
Loved the video! You have a really diverse ancestry, a beautiful mix. Im part dutch part hungarian, but i'd love to know my ancestry a lot better. Im for sure going to buy a dna test 😊
As soon as I saw pictures of your family, I thought to myself, "She's Native American." 😂😂 Your paternal great grandparents look like some of my family members. I have been told by my parents that I am Native American, West African, and some European as well. My paternal side of the family is of the Gullah culture, so basically, West African. My mom is a mix of Native, African, and European. I have wanted to do genetic testing for awhile, just to know for sure.
you should do the tests! I agree that your Gullah will be high 80s plus African blood
I’m Jamaican - black and Indian so I kind of knew what to expect 45% South Asia 2% Middle East 42% West Africa (Bantu etc) 1% Native American and here’s the shocker 10% West European craaazy
This whole time I thought you were Ethiopian. Wow.
lol! Really??
lol i could see it!
Ethiopian where😂
In what way does she look Ethiopian?
Being in DC and seeing a whole lot of Ethiopians she does not look Ethiopian.
Blessings! I just received my kit this past week, and I provided my DNA sample and sent off the kit right away! I can't wait until the results come back, I don't have a fixed idea on what ethnic groups will be represented in my background (Okay, I identify as black, but obviously that comes with a wide umbrella. We shall see!)
Born and raised in Washington D.C. too!! #represent
It's a maternal based test. I just sent mine in. So excited.
Omo naija babyyy🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️
Seriously motivated to do one of these. Your results made me even more curious! ❤️
YOU ARE STUNNING
You are the sweetest! Thank you very much!!
I was born in VA. My mom was born in VA and my dad was born in New Orleans, LA. My background is Creole(where there is a mix of European/Europe West) & African mostly in Nigeria...my brother took this test so I could be Native American & Asian as well but I’m going to take my test myself the beginning of next year! I’m too excited!
My fiancé was born in Washington DC as well & was told by his parents he could have a mix of Jamaican and of course African.
That's super exciting! I'm curious as to what the results will say and if it will be similar to your brothers'!! ☺️☺️☺️
Jewellianna Palencia I knowwww. I’m very interested to see if our results will be almost similar or very different in some ways!!! 😆😁
Hi Jewejewebee, can you make a video about your natural hair products stash!
Yes! Omg! That's be a lot! lol
Hmmmm for the 9/10% unassigned. Didn't realize that was an option lol. Wow so cool on you taking the steps in finding this out.
My grandma is from Havana Cuba
Mines to 🇨🇺💕
I've already done ancestryDNA, but I just had to buy 23andMe today also! They're having a black friday sale where you can save $30 on the ancestry report, and $50 on the ancestry and wellness report! I know my uncle used 23andMe, and was literally 99.7% ashkenazi jewish, and 0.2% Broadly European and the rest unassigned. I am only half Jewish, but come from an especially dark jewish father. I am applying to schools in Italy, Ireland, Scotland, and England, and my passion is the Israel-Palestine crisis. I hope to major in International Relations, and geneology and genetics are fascinating to me because they may interconnect. I'm interested to see the similarities between the services, and have an even richer understanding of who I am. I can't wait to show my primarily British/Irish/Western European mom how her influence conveys too! I hope to become even more knowledgable because I am often asked why I say being Jewish is an ethnicity above a religion. I only this fall changed my identity from Atheist to Secular Jewish after 8 years+. Love your hair, and this video. I was also wondering (naively) if people of African descent experience changes in their curls through the seasons... I haven't been able to get my usual jew curls since the weather got colder! My AncestryDNA results were 41% European Jewish, 19% Western Europe(Fr/Ger), 8% each of British and Irish/Scottish/Welsh, 7% Iberian, 5% each of Scandinavian/Europe South/Europe East, and 2% Finland/NW Russia!
You’re 24??!?!! For the longest time I thought you were at most 19 im done
Black don't crack
@@KCDisney1 shes mixed not black
You are so beautiful! Your family history is rich and thank you for sharing with us all. I was adopted when I was a child and my birth certificate said I was caucasian, I am obviously of African descent this comes as a shocker to many. My DNA results yielded similar to you in that I am also 45% African and 55% Caucasian and a small 5% of South Asian. It is interesting to see the regions in which our ancestors are linked to and for someone like myself who was the only colored child among the majority of my peers, it was a feeling of freedom to finally know a little bit of who I am.
