New subscriber here!!❤❤❤ Thank you

I have fam in Wilmington and surrounding areas. Proud to be Gullah

I lived in Southport for 20 years.

Migrated

There is no place on earth like Charleston. As a North Carolina native I absolutely LOVE the people and the culture! Proud to say I have 4 Geechee churn and a Geechee gyal. As a chef, I love how much West Africa influences the taste here. No matter how hard they tried to hold us down, WE set the tone for "black food" in America North!

I am proud of my African ancestors

Fun fact: Carolina Gold rice belongs to the rice species oryza glabirrema which is indigenous to Africa and was domesticated by Africans thousands of years ago independently from the domestication of Asian rice oryza sativa in Asia. Europeans found large areas of cultivated rice in West Africa and carried rice and experienced planters to the Americas during the Slave Trade. Carolina Gold rice became a major food staple crop and the majority rice grown in the US until the Civil War era. Another African rice strain was Red Bearded Upland rice which was grown on dry land and hillsides. Thomas Jefferson imported a large cask of it and distributed it to different parts of the South hoping that it could replace wetland rice in mosquito and malaria prone areas, but as it required much more labour to plant, maintain and process it never caught on as a large scale commercial crop, but was grown by slaves and free blacks as a subsistence crop in some areas, until it too was phased out during the Civil War. Runaway slaves who joined the British army during the War of 1812 and who were later resettled in the British Caribbean colony of Trinidad took Red Bearded Upland rice cultivation to the island, where it is still grown as a heritage and minor commercial crop under the name Moruga Hill Rice

Chef Weston your okra tomato shrimp dish looks delicious! Do you have any cookbooks and how can I get them for my daughters? I also like your apron fabric.

Amazing food and culture.

But some slaves came from the Caribbean then to the US; so their descendants are Caribbean too… your Gullah people are West Indians.

'we gittin' ready to taste a lil bit o' SURVIVAL rite 'chere🤤'... ahhhh yes he did!🥳

Ok he called the Civil War the "Confederate struggle"! No it was the Confederate illegal rebellion against the United States of America and the Confederates were committing treason. Treason is defined as the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance. It was not a struggle because the Confederates were trying to do good but a pointed decision to make war this country for evil slavery. Don't try to dress it up!

Keep talking about our history

🪶💪🏾

I love North Carolinians and our culture. 🖤🖤

Please give us one source for this slave and slop story.

I Love this video 💗 Thnx fu shr'n 🔥 Glory to God, this is the way we should all love and share💞💨

My mother was born and raised in Wilmington, NC. My father was born and raised in Charleston, SC.

Has anyone gone on any tours that you would recommend? We would like to experience the food, visit the land and living quarters of our ancestors? (Geechee culture and all of our others. There's so much for us to learn.)

this is dope. one thing id say, we gotta stop still referring to them as master. slave perpetrator suits them and is energetically more accurate.

Thank you. My mother, grandmother and grandfather were from Sumter, SC.

Thank you for this past & present history. We are always learning something new. We appreciate you 😊. Dxf

So much wisdom, knowledge and understanding for OUR TIME. I especially like what was said "If you're starving for nutrition, it affects how you think".. dear Lord I believe most all the country is starving when you look at what most people eat. Outright full bellies that are starving for nutrition. I have to say every dish I saw had my mouth watering.. 🍛🍲

I'm glad someone is now telling truth.

Yes indeed, this brings back memories from my childhood days. Although my siblings and I were raised in the Midwest, our parents and grandparents were from Mississippi. I must say some of the food we ate were very similar to the Carolina Gullah Geechee. The rice, neck bones, pig feet, pig 🐖 tails, Agro Syrup . Please let's not forget that fat back ( as my daddy would say, bring back some strick a' lean, strick a' fat.

Glad to see so many different dishes come up. Soul food is many dishes,many flavors,techniques and variations. We ate many vegetables not even talked about. I give dinners to show these things. People look in awe of rutabaga stew. So glad to see this food that has sustained us throughout the centuries comes forth and is not ignored. Nations thrived on this food.

Born and raised in the Midwest. I knew my maternal grandmother was from Tennessee and paternal grandmother from Mississippi. However I was surprised when my ancestry shows that many of my ancestors came from the Carolinas. However when I look at the Gullah foods that I started learning to cook at 7 yrs old. I most definitely see and feel the influence. I’m still looking for those family members ❤

They didn’t migrate they were trafficked as slaves bound in the bottom of ships some dead thrown overboard drowned So please speak on the trade of folkes like it was Then come to the good part of how they made it they were used for their knowledge of cultivating and brewer's None of us know how terrible their lives were Thats y they ate the parts of the animals that was thrown out But because they can cook and know how to make things better they survived

Very very good document! 🎉great job

Nice to know such history, make sure things are properly documented and passed on to other generations. Put in book form

What a touching Story to be in tuned with my Culture while some of it brought tears to my eyes. Much love to everyone and may God forever & richly bless you!!!

Great history lesson! Just one thing , our ancestors did not migrate here. They were stolen and or sold.

I hate when ppl say migrated our ancestors didn’t migrate here, they were kidnapped. My family is from Savannah

terrific video thank you!

I was born and raised in Southport I’m white but love this culture and it heavily influences my cooking cause I was raised on it still, there’s a lot in this video I didn’t know! I think it’s very important that the culture of African Americans is preserved and taught thanks so much for this video!

South Carolina is my family roots. I’m am Geeche.

So interesting

I had no idea. I only thought they were in CHARLESTON.

❤

An other Americans land

Stop the lye. Those ship were only coming from west indies. No africa

Any knowledge of the folks taken from Bladen County, NC and brought to Long Island Bahamas (to Charles Town and Deadmans Cay)? Peace and Love

Well preserve culture 👏
