• Beauty-of-Africa //
  • My name is Mariam.Muslim.I am Fulani (one of the African ethnic groups) from fouta djallon, Guinea but was born in Mauritania. I am 20 years old. 4th year of college, and currently live in New York City. I love Africa and love learning about CULTURE!!! Africa is more than just huts and wild animals, Africa is filled with rich cultures, creative art, stunning people and is currently rising up as a fashion icon. My blog is dedicated to empowering African people and it's culture and showing another side of Africa. The beautiful and underrepresented side of Africa. So if you love it..follow me! :) nd you can ask me anything,..just click the ask button :)..
    And I definitely don't own none of these photos unless I specify..I just find them on the web!! :) //

13. Things Africans do that pisses you off?
This is specifically done by the youth, but I hate when young Africans come here and assimilate to this new culture and end up forgetting where they came from and the values they had back home. It’s okay to embrace new ideas but don’t forget about yours.
21. Do you miss anyone in Africa?
Yessssssss..I miss a lot of people :( I miss my aunt though(I was named after her and still attached to her). I love her. 💖💖. I want to go back so bad just to see her.
27. Would you rather live in Africa or in your current location?
Well Africa is a continent and its huge and different from country to country. I am sure there might be other parts of Africa that I’ll probably love more than the U.S. I think I wouldn’t mind living in my country but I feel like my life is here because I grew up here. I only have my family there, but all of my memories are here. 
29. Dumbest question someone has asked you about Africa?
Do We have bikes in Africa -_______________- ????
36. What country has the cutest boys?
That’s hardddd! Africa boys are hot. I can’t see myself with anything else. They are also very diverse in physical features. A lot of options. I can’t answer this question because all the countries have the good and the bad. Lol.

Ain't that some racist bullsh--!

Lol so these people have gotten so bold they just said “Why use an African model to pose for an “African Queen” editorial when we can just paint an oyinbo girl instead”. Nawa.

Anonymous asked: I teach preschoolers in Grove, Oklahoma. What can you tell them about the beautiful african people and what is your favourite food. Do you have any snack ideas i can give them?

hey, one thing I can definitely say is that Africans are very diverse in languages, cultures and even in physical features. And sorry I don’t have a any snack ideas, :-)

Fulani/wodaabe/Fula/peul/fulfude««« all refers to the same people..lol this confuses people for the most part..
This is a myth..but they(elders) say that every Fulani had or have this fabric..lol..like some people don’t feel like a legit Fulani until they own one of these lol…of course it’s impossible that we all have this at our house..but I definitely have one lol..and based on how she’s dressed…I’ll take a guess and say she’s a Fulani from Niger about to go see the “Gerewol”..
