    Nodia, (namule)thank you so much for paying homage (magadieti)... Thank you for teaching the world about our Garifuna culture. I also called my grandmother mama, and much like you, I am an educator
    I am señora Mena. I teach AP spanish, and I make it a point to teach about our Garifuna culture within the curriculum that I cover. I am overjoyed and I am moved to tears with Garifuna pride due to this presentation

    When she sang I almost cried. It reminded me of when my mother took me to a Garifuna speaking church when I was little. I don’t speak and I barely understand, but I was raised Garifuna through and through. So the singing feels like home. I feel so related and connected to her through the singing, it’s crazy. I feel among family. Thank YOU PROFESSOR!!!

    After seeing the different dishes made of planatain i started having a nostalgic feeling. Yes I am a Nigerian, from southern coast and plantain is my traditional dish. This alone gives me that connection to the speaker.
