Anonymous asked: "Africa is more than just huts and wild animals" I complete agree with this. Africa is underrated in its diversity. Are you aware that people sterotype African facial feautres? Whenever anyone sees beautiful African people, many of them (both black and white) think they must be mixed with something. One fulani girl said that Fulani were raped by Arabs and that's why they're "lighter-skinned." Other stupid sources also claim that Fulani beauty is from Arab admixture. Do you agree?

Heyy…and I get that all the times..specially in NYC lol..am so over it now because I got tired of explaining to people that Africa is a continent and anyone can look like anything.. Well the thing about us Fulani is that we are nomads since time begun so its kind of hard to trace our roots because we never stay in one place..we settled in between countries between east and west africa.. Am not going to say our beauty came from Arabs but we definitely have some arab ancestry.. Fulani people can be light skin or dark skin, the only way we can tell each other is our facial features , not soo much skin tone., we do have a lot of fair skin people too but we have just as much as everything else..like in my family it’s all over the place..we just have certain facial features that is common among us…I don’t agree that our beauty came from Arabs because I’ve seen dark skin Fulani people that are so gorgeous… Like flawlessly , almosy perfect in my book..
