Very good video. My Ancestry results are 100% Senegal (Senegambian to be historically, culturally, and geographically more accurate). I'm from Gambia and belong to the Seereer tribe. Not surprised by my results having spent 30 years researching and documenting my family history and genealogy. I also did the African Ancestry patriclan and matriclan test. I'm Seereer on both sides. I guess one would call me a pure breed. Lol. No surprises there.
You're such a beautiful African woman! ❤ I also like your results. I'm Afro-American and I tested with both MyHeritage DNA and Ancestry DNA. I know that one of my maternal ancestors came from Sierra Leone, but here are my results for both: MyHeritage DNA: 78.7% African (58.2% Nigerian, 9.2% West African, 5.9% Sierra Leonean, 4% Kenyan, 1.4% Massai) 15.4% Northwestern European (Irish, Scottish and Welsh) 4.9% Central & South American (Mesoamerican and Andean) & 1% West Asian (Turkey, Iran...) Ancestry DNA: 86% African (37% Nigerian, 17% Cameroon & Congo, 14% Mali, 9% Ivory Coast & Ghana, 6% Benin & Togo, 2% Senegal & 1% Southern Bantu Peoples) 12% European (4% England, 3% Ireland, 3% Norway, 1% Scotland & 1% Greece & Albania) 1% Indigenous Mexico & 1% Indigenous North I'm soon gonna try 23andme!
100% African!? That's amazing! You look like family and many black Americans also have your phenotype. That makes sense because a lot of Fulani people were enslaved and brought to the Americas such as Omar Ibn Said so I definitely have Fulani blood running through my veins! Thank you for the knowledge and sharing the video! 🩸🌍
AA look the way they look because of their admixture with Europeans, she looks the way she looks because she's Peuhl just because people look similar it doesn't mean they share the same genetic makeup.
@@HoneybeeAwningcrack open a book and actually learn something about the transatlantic slave trade then you may finally understand why a lot of African Americans, Caribbeans, and Latin Americans are in fact of Fulani descent.
@@lionelcortez2449 not many at all, the obsession with fulanis is just a complex syndrome. AA are actually by far descendants of Yorubas primarly, Mandinkas and Bantu people at around 75% for their african ancestry, around 20-25% is european admixture.

@@dijalosha9513 Interesting video. Note -susu,maninka,bambara,mandinka,bozo,soninke etc.. are really sub-groups or sub-ethnic groups that belong to the mande ethnic group.They are all mande and created the great mande civilizations of mali,ghana etc.. For example just like if you break down modern day nubians then you have sukkot,kenuz, danagla, midob sub-groups or sub-ethnic groups of nubians etc. but i think you know that.
So interesting! My grandfather was part Nigerian/part Guinean (from Dubreka). His mother was Guinean and her family was Susu. You’re the first of such ancestry I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing. I’ve never been there, but would like to go one day.
I am a susu too and my dad family are also from dubreka but I was born in France and I grew up in France but I speak fluently susu. I only been in Guinea when I was a child .
@@ibrahimsylla1456 That’s wonderful! You’re so blessed to have been there. I don’t think my grandfather’s village exists any more, but who knows. I could be wrong.
Hey my Fulani sister! I'm African American/Caribbean. I found 4 Fulani distant relatives. 3 from Guinea, and 1 from Nigeria. Great history of the Fulani people. Thanks for sharing!
One of the best DNA test and family explanations. Love that you do French and English combinations. My first connection with African culture was my brother and sisters from Senegal 🇸🇳 They are the one's that set me straight as a African American. That African belongs to me as just as Africans from the continent The help me on my path to find my roots. I love 💘 Senegal the people are really special 💗 💕. Thank for a lovely video. Peace and one love. 2019 went to Ghana 🇬🇭. I am related by DNA to the AKYEM people of Ghana and it felt like home 🏡.
I love that you did the ethnicity tag ! Great way to keep people engaged , amazing video ! I love your calm spirit , very easy to watch and connect with ! 🤗
Thanks for sharing your story Dija, now you have your DNA results there are many more analyses you can do with your DNA data. For example, you can get a diet report from DNA Power, or find an online date using DNA Romance,... the list of possible genetic analyses is very long. Welcome to your genome :-)
I’m Louisiana Creole and we have a lot of Malian, Senegalese and French ancestry (and oftentimes in my case, some Native). I am 30% Malian, 25% Congolese, 15% Senegalese , 15% Benin Togo, 10% French , 3% Scottish and 2% Native Indigenous. I always knew because I am Creole, my ancestors from Louisiana spoke French and Louisiana Creole but I was surprised that all of my African DNA is from francophone African countries…
I would love to do a video like this but I’m not a vlogger. I love seeing these videos where true Africans do their dna 🧬. I’m obsessed with discovering my ancestry. Part of my ancestry is Fulani too. I also have Iran, Middle Eastern and a lot of East African, North African Dna. But it’s not surprising because I have a great great grandfather from that area. But of course since I’m American, I also have 14% European too. Thanks for the video.
Coucou Dija. I'm a fulani from Guinea and as soon as i saw you i KNEW, you had guinean fulani in you hahha. At first i was shocked that you were entirely senegalese! You are beautiful mix of Fouta Toro and Fouta Djalon.. Mi salmini ma debbo poulo!
I’m Fulani too. My mothers parents are both of royalty Fulani and my dad is half Fulani so I was curious to see what another Fulani’s results were compared to mine. My results were 80% Senegambia and Guiné. Then I also have 5% North Africa, 5% Arab, 7% Portuguese and lastly Chinese and North Indian. 😅
I’m an African American from Texas and I have talked to Igbo and Mende cousins on Ancestry. I’m 90% African (33% Cameroon, Congo, and western Bantu people, 26% Nigerian, 12% ivory coast and Ghana, 7% Benin & Togo, 6% Mali, 5% Senegal, 1% Nigeria- East Central). My remaining DNA was 7% European, 2% Jewish, and 1% Northern India. Did you have any Black Americans in your DNA matches? I also took an African ancestry maternal DNA test (X chromosome testing) and it came back as Fulani and Yoruba people in Nigeria.
It's interesting to know your ancestry. Personality and Health affects certain racial groups and nationalities. I know for a fact that I'm part of the African race.
once again, amazing job!!! i’m honestly impressed that you took our suggestions from the previous video!! maybe another would be to make the sub captions in the side bigger, because I didn’t notice it until the middle of the video 😭 i know you are trying and honestly you are doing so good!! ❤️ #westafricangang 🇬🇳 from guinea
I would like for you to share some light on some of your can folks in the diaspora I am a American or Fulani descent and I'm always looking for African relatives on my DNA test
I strongly suspect I have at least 60 percent African with some Arab and European roots if I take another test. Growing up I didn't know what part of Africa I was from. Now I have an idea Central and Eastern Africa.
❤❤❤ thank you for sharing. I’m a new subscriber and like you I too have fula ancestry. I’m so interested in finding more information about the Fulani and Wolof peoples. My Fulani ancestors in senegambian and Guinean region. ❤❤
Many Senegalese ethnic groups migrated from Sudan around the 1200 century, when I had genetic tested my ethnicity estimated was 28% Senegal. The second updated it showed 14% Senegal and 2% Mali
In Sudan, we have Fulani people in the Darfur region, but the group in which we believed separated from my tribe is the Wolof people. The Names and physical appearances between the Nuer, Dinka people of Sudan, they look very much similar to the Wolof, tribe of Senegal
Great video you’re a natural, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was well put together! PS. I’m obsessed with What’s in my bag videos as well 😂 so please do one
Everything you are saying is excellent and you are beautiful. I will add that "black" or "white" arent' truly races, but have been assigned for more political or dominance. Here's an example, someone might say "oh he's light for a black person" or "she's dark for a white person." So, this is proof really that the fake color labels don't indicate race, but society I feel have yet to understand this reality better.
Nope , even though a black persons might be ‘light ‘skinned you will still recognize him by facial features . Same for ‘dark ‘ skinned white people . I don’t get why people try to discredit the existence of race when it’s something we can obviously see . Nationality would be more of a broad idea because we can’t really tell what nationality people are by looking at them . Can you tell the difference between a Japanese and Chinese ? A white American and a white Canadian ? However , when you see a black guy you can already tell the physical differences between him and a white dude. I understand that certain people want to say race doesn’t exist in order to discredit racism but I just find that dumb and kind of pathetic ngl . If you want to solve a problem , don’t say that the source of the problem doesn’t exist , try to find solutions instead . It’s like me saying that a chihuahua and a doberman are not different breeds of dogs ...
@@ahumanwhodoesntlikenoobs395 Okay, let's break this down a little further. I am not aiming to discredit what you said but to actually validate it on a wider scale. First, it's best to disregard how the United States categorizes race especially regarding blackness and whiteness. Okay, I agree that one can see that a person is connected to a race regardless if they are light or dark skin. Take a deeper look at the continent of Africa. Not only are there different skin tones but clearly different facial features--but it's geographically ALL Africa. If we just google a Somalian, Ethiopian, Kenyan, Nigerian, North African Berber and Moroccan, you will notice clear differences in these groups features. I know that North Africa got later mixed up with some European, but studies show that the Berbers are original people of Africa. Some Berbers are darker in skin tones, but they don't look anything like the Khoisan of Southern Africa; these are not subtle differences either like you see amongst Chinese and Japanese. And by the way, I can tell Asians apart, Korean, Chinese and Japanese have some very visual facial and body mass differences. Europeans: A southern Italian and a Finnish or Sweden person look as different as a Nigerian and a Somalian. People, genetics are based on the environments which they've lived in for thousands of years, as well as generations of racial admixtures. If a Moroccan mixes with an Italian the child would likely look somewhere in between both, that's because many North Africans and Italians do share similar features. Overall African genetics are strong so when you mixed usually any other "race" with African DNA, although one may come out lightskinned, you can see obvious African features of predominately Western, Southern, Central African regions. So here in the United States where many African Americans do have European DNA, regardless of skin tones, you see they are connected to Africa. Africa is sooo diverse but it's all Africa; I see big differences amongst African groups. What most of Africa shares is similar deeper skin tones based on climate, but genetically these groups vastly differ. However, in the U.S. for decades it seems, kids haven't been taught about Africa's history, tribes, genetics and great kingdoms. It ALL gets lumped into "black" believe me, Africans see themselves differently as a people than the U.S. labels them, and so do Europeans and Asians for that matter. Indeed, the vast majority of Africans certainly aren't white, but there's so much more to these people groups than placing a "white man's" brand of description on them and letting it be. The same happens to Native Americans, yes they share some common features, but they no way all look the same. It seems there's been a condiitioning in our society to look quickly at someone and if they meet the similarity description even before asking them who they are, they a placed in a box and labeled. This is why during Pearl Harbor many Native Americans got mistaken for being Japanese in Oregon, they can tell you there horror stories. Japanese are way lighter than most Native Americans but they matched the straight black hair and deep almond eyes and that was enough for them to be considered the enemy while they're natives of the land. So in summing this up, this reality of labeling and disregarding who people truly are, yes, I call this racism. I am of African, Asian, European and Native American backgroud, something about me resembles all of these groups, I'm told this by the public, I agree and accept all of my background. So saying black or white is a race is very questionable with such global mixing. All the best.
@@selinaBARMAR2565 wow this has to be the most complete answer I have ever seen on RUclips . Thank you for taking your time in order to answer perfectly like that . I get your point and won’t disagree with you. However , I need to explain how I perceive race . In French (English isn’t my first language, it’s French so I may do mistakes ) breed doesn’t exist . Instead of saying a breed of dog , we will just say a race of dog . That’s why growing up I always perceived race to be a group of people who look alike and with the same skin color . However , I changed my mind in my teens and I consider race to be a group of people who look alike with similarities in their cultures and have a shared history . For example I would consider Europeans to be white but not Arabs and North Africans . In this case , certain Europeans ( mostly from the Iberian peninsula ) who look like Arabs physically would have been considered as Arabs with my previous definition of race which only took into account physical features . However, with my new definition they are still white due to culture similarities ( western culture , language ,Christianity etc ...) . Hence , white and Arabs will be different races in my opinion . If we only go with physical differences we can also say that Khoisan ,Cushitic and Nilotic people are not black just because they don’t have ‘’Bantu ‘’ features. However I would still consider them to be ‘ black ‘ because of a shared history and cultural similarities. Before disagreeing with me, let me give you an example . A lot of people living in Ethiopia wouldn’t say they are black if you ask them what race they are . However , Ethiopians on RUclips (RUclipsrs , random comments by Ethiopians etc ...) will say they are . Why is that ? The answer is pretty easy: ethiopians who consider themselves black are just conscient of the shared history and cultural similarities that they have with other black People . They may not alike ( even if there are certain tribes in west-central Africa that may easily pass as Ethiopians like the Fulani people ) but they can share this same identity because of common struggles. That’s just how I see race : Common struggles , history , physical appearance in some cases and cultural similarities .
@@ahumanwhodoesntlikenoobs395 Agree. I like that we are having this open discussion and enlightening each other, hopefully more and hitting areas that too often many refuse to discuss. Yes, Arabs, North Africans, Berbers, and Southern Europeans are similar to many in appearances. But based on experience and culture, even the lightest Arab is more culturally related to North Africans and all other Africans who share religion, values and cultural practices. Southern Europeans at large, Italians, Greeks, Southern France are overall culturally not connected to the Arab World. Language, and culture plays a major role also in racial identification. I'll take myself for example, after doing DNA it so happens that I have some DNA with different African tribes: Khoisan, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Yoruba Nigerian, North African Berbers, Comoros, and Jordanian Arabs. Europe: Irish, British, Italian. Central Asia: Turkey. Americas: Aztec Tribe, Mexico, Puerto Rico. Genetically I'm Afroeurasian. But based on all of these mixtures, I identify as an Afro Latina, Afro Mexicana, Puerto Rican, Lumbee Tribe or Hispanic. Why? Well, genetically it's already expected for Hispanics in the United States to have several admixutures of African, European, Asian and Native American ancestors; this is based on our shared history. Very few of us are just black, white or Native American, rather the vast majority of us are Tri-racial. I'm fascinated by my African tribal connections, but I've never lived on the continent of Africa, or Europe. I don't share the customs of Khoisan or Ethiopians--but I'm open to learning. But for me to walk in a room and say "I am from the San Tribe, Ethiopian, Nigerian, Arab, or Irish, and having never lived within those cultures to share their experiences and struggles, to me wouldn't be proper. Being the culturally connected person that I am and I love exploring cultures believe me, I grew up in New York City in a melting pot of cultures. All of my history and DNA is a part of me true, but culturally and based on experience, I'm not a true Kenyan or Ethiopian--even if I share the same features. And by the way, many have thought that I was Ethiopian, Somalian, Moroccan, or often just mixed race. But with my wide spaced apart eyes, I see the Khoisan in me too. But I find very few people I meet have even heard of this group, so no one is going to say to me, "oh I see the Khoisan in you because your eyes are widespaced." lol

Great results. I'm Haal Pulaar from Senegal and Mauritania. I was born and I live in Dakar. I took a test from AncestryDNA in late October 2019 and I received the results in November 2019 . I only got three regions which are 91 % Senegal, 6 % Mali and 3 % Northern Africa. When did you receive your results back? It seems your ancestors left Fouta Toro, live in West African areas like Nigeria and resettled in Senegal. Your DNA results suggest it.
Thank you ! That’s definitely a possibility for me; being that people from Fouta Toro went to Nigeria and eventually set up the Sokoto Empire as well. It could also be a result of my mother’s side as well. But I will only truly know if one my brothers or my father takes the DNA test for sure. Since Fulani are nomadic , it’s possible my ancestors traveled and settled in other regions only to come back to Senegal.
@dijalosha You have a very interesting ancestry. It showed me a lot about what I have said when it comes to migration patterns and wars in Africa being fought. As it turns out that many people overlook the actual caravan slave trade of the Arabians in North Africa. That is because many African Americans had no idea it took place. All they knew was the transatlantic slave trade. They thought white people was the first to take slaves from Africa. Boy how they was wring is misinformed. The Arabians have ruled over 1,500 plus years in North Africa. That takes us back to a date of around 522 AD. During that timeframe they were in conquest of North Africa after chasing the Roman Empire out of Arabia with the help of Turkey in which they the Roman Empire had once conquered. After securing several countries in North Africa including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and several othe countries they turned Southwards into Sudan, Chad, and several other countries. Around 701 AD is when the Sudan People or Fulani were converted to Islam and was an important piece in helping spread the religion of the Arabians to the rest of Africa. More than likely many Fulani were taken as slaves back to Arabia and upwards into Asia and Europe. Because of their conquest I believe this is why the Fulani were so nomadic. They was used in wars after being concerted at the tip of a sword. This is why I say that the conversion of Africans to islam was the worst thong for Africans and the best thing for the Arabians looking to spread their religious to the rest of Africans. Do you see how the wars of African history start matching the migration patterns yet? The Arab horsemen moved caravans of African Slaves into the western Africa and out of western and southwestern Africa. This is actual historical facts. The beginnings of the Transatlantic slave trade started in the very early 1,500's in which was years after the Europeans started getting into more wars with the Arabians and Turks. Those battles you still see going on today. Welcome to the Bush era wars and 9/11 and all of that right on up to today. Back then there was a secret society of hitmen called the hashashin which is nit just a John Wick movie society of hitmen. This is real life stuff here. They claim to have disbanded years ago, but their beliefs and reasons for suicide bombings and what nots still exist today. Their favorite weapon of choice is poison. This is why when the Kings, Queens, Princesses, and Princes started dropping from poisoning they created food testers to keep from dying of food poisoning. The same went with the Pirates as well. None of them ate the food on their plates until AFTER someone else ate from their plate first. Yes they ate behind other people. This is possibly why your bloodlines matches with people in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Former slaves now free in those lands. Including India as well. This is why you have to start looking at the actual history of Africans and match the migration patterns young man. You have done an Ancestry test. Try taking the raw data to a website called HomeDNA.com and upload it for their African Edition of their test. Originally the test costs around $200, but since the hard part gas been done they give you a $160 discount on their services. You only pay around $40. Their GPS Origins Test is the only one like it on the market so far as I have seen. Others might have cropped up lately. I choose the UK companies because they have bern sampling everything from the soil to the people themselves eve since they have first set foot on the African Continent. And I do mean they sampled everything. Their knowledge of Africans and their cultures is more thorough than all others. Which is why I also want to point you to another test from GTLDNA.com. However their tests are a little more expensive. I don't know your financial situation. But if you can afford it I suggest you give those two companies a little more of your time. It won't be wasted. Also I want to welcome you to the CRIgenetics.com family as well. They have an actual Nobel Prize winning Scientist on their team. They are known for running special for first time buyers to their testing. I really hope that you enjoy their work. There is a difference between genealogy and genetics. Genealogy can have you climbing somebody elses family tree. Even if they were close relatives to you as you grew up the might have zero genetic ties to you. That's where genealogy can lead you astray. Genetics is that forensic evidence that police use in court. Only way to beat it is in how it got into the area it was found. That's were genealogy helps. Happy treasure hunting and welcome to the folds of history and becoming the historian of your family.
Hello Fulani cousin , I learned through DNA , I'm Fulani of Guinea Bissau on my mother line . You did a great job with your video . Very interesting , and informative . Thank you for sharing .
Have you received any updates on your DNA? I'm surprised you received Benin & Togo and Nigeria. I've noticed the updates have shrunk the regions down a bit.
not at all surprising. Fulani are mainly nomadic people that have traveled the Sahel region for centuries and they are very prevalent in the northern region of all those countries. Keep in mind that the vast majority of these country borders in Africa were randomly made up by Europeans after 1884
Lot of us African American's getting our DNA done are finding out we share Fulani ancestry, I can definitely see a resemblance in your face, awesome vid!

Some of the comments are so cringeworthy. A lot of African Americans, Caribbeans, and Latin Americans see familiarity in the presenters phenotype (features) simply because a lot of African Americans, Caribbeans, and Latin Americans are of Fulani descent and therefore tend to have Fulani phenotypes among them. It has nothing to do with the latter groups having whatever degree of European ancestry. Some of you need to open a book and learn about the transatlantic slave trade before typing your nonsense.
@@dijalosha9513 lol! your test puts to bed the idea that non africans have that Fulani Fulbes and Mbororo aren't fully africans. Les gens n'aiment pas la diversite africaine.

@@PHlophe I definitely agree with you ! I think there is this ideology that if you're of a lighter skin tone, you have to be mixed. Which isn't always the case. Many of my neighbors back home are also Serer 🇸🇳
@@PHlophe nah, these dna tests only show how well their customers match the reference populations in their databases. The reference populations at ancestry dna are partially Eurasian, that's why she doesn't score anything non-African. And North Africans are mostly Eurasian anyway, which she scores 5% of here. Fulanis carry significant ancient (and sometimes more recent) North African ancestry, which explains why they are shifted towards Eurasia compared to most other West Africans, sometimes more Eurasian than the average African-American. Also, here we have a girl with Susu and Maninka ancestry, which decreases the North African/Eurasian compared to more average Fulanis.
@@Tsukonin The fact that she has maninka or susu has nothing to do with her not having a lot of north african. Most of sahelians like the mandinka, wolof, soninke, etc have north african dna not just fulani. There is a half soninke half fulani girl who has 15% north african dna.
Muritania iṣ arabic 100% Even marrying a foreigner is almost impossible, and this is also found in southern Morocco. Yemen, Mauritania and the Sahrawis have the same habits and their features are the same. Even their language is Arabic, and there is not a single word in their dialect a foreign word. Rather, they master the Arabic language more than any country. You can notice customs and some ancient relics to know your origin. The inhabitants of Tunisia and Lebanon today have the same dialect and features, and this is very strange, but in the past, the Carthaginians came from Lebanon and settled in Tunisia, but the strangest is their language. To this day in the Middle East and Morocco, even the vase and utensils of the Pharaohs are still used today, and there are many examples. But the strange thing about the matter is that Africa and Latin America changed their customs, religion and language, but in the Middle East, not even the Romans could impose their religion, and even western colonialism, nothing changed.
You are crazy... you can see her five percent North african genes but you can't see her ninety five percent West African genes?.. you are a pure racist.
This is pure nonsense. Mali has different ethnic groups and Fulani is not a major group there. So why would Mali be number 1 on your DNA results? There are more Fulani in Cameroon, Chad, Burkina Faso, Guinea but none of these countries show on the DNA results. I think it is deceitful to link DNA results to a whole country instead of a particular ethnic group in that country
@@lgnawa Did you watch the video? Careful how you speak to a brother, especially one of my age. In the video, the presenter made clear that they were going beyond the Mali borders into other region and describing it as Mali. I did not say that Mali was what they said it was. I pointed out how they were defining Mali when they used the name. I don't even agree with it. But that's what the DNA company did in their description, not mine. Be respectful.
@@benjaminsmith2287k my apologies my brother. I listened over again. This DNA results based on region is pure nonsense. To.make of Mali a region that includes the countries she listed is pure nonsense. Mali itself have different groups with different DNA. Mali has a 13% Fulani. Guinea has a 33% Fulani. Senegal has 26% Fulani. Her parents are predominantly Fulani from Guinea and Senegal. So why the DNA shows Mali at a higher percentage when we know that Mali is predominantly Mandé people also known as Malinké or Mandinka or Maninka or Mandingo? Why include Burkina Faso and other countries into Mali when those countries also have ethnic groups not related to those in Mali, like the Mossi who are the largest group in Burkina? If a Mossi from Burkina who is related to a Dagomba of Ghana takes a DNA, what is it going to show? Mali? Those results are very confusing. I think it is a great mistake and error to link DNA to countries with borders artificially created by Europeans colonizers. DNA should instead identify ethnic groups instead of countries that have many different ethnic groups within its borders.
@@olajong2315 Seems like you are slow and have a comprehension problem. Words can be given meaning as a figure beside their etymological meaning. Black and white etymologically are colors, but they are used figuratively as race. This is how languages work. When you tell someone you killing me, it does not mean that he is murdering you. You are using that word as a figure of speech. Black and White are used to mean races. Yellow and Red were also used but are not used today as in the past. Now the main races races are categorized as black or Negroid, White or Caucasian or Caucasoid, Asian or Mongoloid. These are how the three major human races are classified today. Black , White and Asian are the common way races are identified today. We humans give to words their meaning. Society had decided to classify the main races with these words. So that is what words means when it comes to race. Black is the term that is used in the English language to identify people of a darker hue. This got nothing to do with what you think. You are not the one who create words and their meaning. Your name is not on the dictionary.

Don’t see how that directly relates to culture because you could be adopted by people of another race and know nothing of your culture or nationality and you’d still have the same ethnicity...with sub-groups of course.

Very good video. My Ancestry results are 100% Senegal (Senegambian to be historically, culturally, and geographically more accurate). I'm from Gambia and belong to the Seereer tribe. Not surprised by my results having spent 30 years researching and documenting my family history and genealogy. I also did the African Ancestry patriclan and matriclan test. I'm Seereer on both sides. I guess one would call me a pure breed. Lol. No surprises there.
Curious did you match up to many african Americans ?
Is it true that serer tribe originate from a ancient tribe called Bafour?
Thanks so much for telling people there is definitely a difference between ethnicity and race and nationality.
Thank you !
@@dijalosha9513 I'm from Guine-Bissau we also have Fulani tribe here but they are call fula.
Ethnicity is the only one that actually matters on a day to day basis.
@@BronsonAlive thanks we should just drop race altogether.
You're such a beautiful African woman! ❤ I also like your results. I'm Afro-American and I tested with both MyHeritage DNA and Ancestry DNA. I know that one of my maternal ancestors came from Sierra Leone, but here are my results for both:
MyHeritage DNA:
78.7% African (58.2% Nigerian, 9.2% West African, 5.9% Sierra Leonean, 4% Kenyan, 1.4% Massai)
15.4% Northwestern European (Irish, Scottish and Welsh)
4.9% Central & South American (Mesoamerican and Andean) &
1% West Asian (Turkey, Iran...)
Ancestry DNA:
86% African (37% Nigerian, 17% Cameroon & Congo, 14% Mali, 9% Ivory Coast & Ghana, 6% Benin & Togo, 2% Senegal & 1% Southern Bantu Peoples)
12% European (4% England, 3% Ireland, 3% Norway, 1% Scotland & 1% Greece & Albania)
1% Indigenous Mexico & 1% Indigenous North
I'm soon gonna try 23andme!
Hiii did you do the 23&me test?
100% African!? That's amazing! You look like family and many black Americans also have your phenotype. That makes sense because a lot of Fulani people were enslaved and brought to the Americas such as Omar Ibn Said so I definitely have Fulani blood running through my veins! Thank you for the knowledge and sharing the video! 🩸🌍
AA look the way they look because of their admixture with Europeans, she looks the way she looks because she's Peuhl just because people look similar it doesn't mean they share the same genetic makeup.
@@HoneybeeAwningcrack open a book and actually learn something about the transatlantic slave trade then you may finally understand why a lot of African Americans, Caribbeans, and Latin Americans are in fact of Fulani descent.
@@lionelcortez2449 not many at all, the obsession with fulanis is just a complex syndrome. AA are actually by far descendants of Yorubas primarly, Mandinkas and Bantu people at around 75% for their african ancestry, around 20-25% is european admixture.

@@dijalosha9513 Interesting video. Note -susu,maninka,bambara,mandinka,bozo,soninke etc.. are really sub-groups or sub-ethnic groups that belong to the mande ethnic group.They are all mande and created the great mande civilizations of mali,ghana etc..
For example just like if you break down modern day nubians then you have sukkot,kenuz, danagla, midob sub-groups or sub-ethnic groups of nubians etc. but i think you know that.
So interesting! My grandfather was part Nigerian/part Guinean (from Dubreka). His mother was Guinean and her family was Susu. You’re the first of such ancestry I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing. I’ve never been there, but would like to go one day.

Of course. Africans are very diverse. All people come from Africans and not the other way around. All features are seen in African people.
Oh...we have very diverse skin tones
It was a surprise to me too.
One of the best DNA test and family explanations. Love that you do French and English combinations. My first connection with African culture was my brother and sisters from Senegal 🇸🇳 They are the one's that set me straight as a African American. That African belongs to me as just as Africans from the continent The help me on my path to find my roots. I love 💘 Senegal the people are really special 💗 💕. Thank for a lovely video.

Thanks for sharing your story Dija, now you have your DNA results there are many more analyses you can do with your DNA data. For example, you can get a diet report from DNA Power, or find an online date using DNA Romance,... the list of possible genetic analyses is very long. Welcome to your genome :-)
I’m Louisiana Creole and we have a lot of Malian, Senegalese and French ancestry (and oftentimes in my case, some Native). I am 30% Malian, 25% Congolese, 15% Senegalese , 15% Benin Togo, 10% French , 3% Scottish and 2% Native Indigenous.

I would love to do a video like this but I’m not a vlogger. I love seeing these videos where true Africans do their dna 🧬. I’m obsessed with discovering my ancestry. Part of my ancestry is Fulani too. I also have Iran, Middle Eastern and a lot of East African, North African Dna. But it’s not surprising because I have a great great grandfather from that area. But of course since I’m American, I also have 14% European too. Thanks for the video.
Thank you 😊

I’m an African American from Texas and I have talked to Igbo and Mende cousins on Ancestry. I’m 90% African (33% Cameroon, Congo, and western Bantu people, 26% Nigerian, 12% ivory coast and Ghana, 7% Benin & Togo, 6% Mali, 5% Senegal, 1% Nigeria- East Central). My remaining DNA was 7% European, 2% Jewish, and 1% Northern India. Did you have any Black Americans in your DNA matches? I also took an African ancestry maternal DNA test (X chromosome testing) and it came back as Fulani and Yoruba people in Nigeria.
It's interesting to know your ancestry. Personality and Health affects certain racial groups and nationalities. I know for a fact that I'm part of the African race.

I strongly suspect I have at least 60 percent African with some Arab and European roots if I take another test. Growing up I didn't know what part of Africa I was from. Now I have an idea Central and Eastern Africa.

❤❤❤ thank you for sharing. I’m a new subscriber and like you I too have fula ancestry. I’m so interested in finding more information about the Fulani and Wolof peoples. My Fulani ancestors in senegambian and Guinean region. ❤❤
Many Senegalese ethnic groups migrated from Sudan around the 1200 century, when I had genetic tested my ethnicity estimated was 28% Senegal. The second updated it showed 14% Senegal and 2% Mali
Interesting. Do you know which ethnic groups?
In Sudan, we have Fulani people in the Darfur region, but the group in which we believed separated from my tribe is the Wolof people. The Names and physical appearances between the Nuer, Dinka people of Sudan, they look very much similar to the Wolof, tribe of Senegal

Thank you so much ❤️ same here ! Those are my favorite kind of videos 😭
Everything you are saying is excellent and you are beautiful. I will add that "black" or "white" arent' truly races, but have been assigned for more political or dominance. Here's an example, someone might say "oh he's light for a black person" or "she's dark for a white person." So, this is proof really that the fake color labels don't indicate race, but society I feel have yet to understand this reality better.
Thank you ! I appreciate your response.
Nope , even though a black persons might be ‘light ‘skinned you will still recognize him by facial features . Same for ‘dark ‘ skinned white people . I don’t get why people try to discredit the existence of race when it’s something we can obviously see . Nationality would be more of a broad idea because we can’t really tell what nationality people are by looking at them . Can you tell the difference between a Japanese and Chinese ? A white American and a white Canadian ? However , when you see a black guy you can already tell the physical differences between him and a white dude. I understand that certain people want to say race doesn’t exist in order to discredit racism but I just find that dumb and kind of pathetic ngl . If you want to solve a problem , don’t say that the source of the problem doesn’t exist , try to find solutions instead . It’s like me saying that a chihuahua and a doberman are not different breeds of dogs ...
@@ahumanwhodoesntlikenoobs395 Okay, let's break this down a little further. I am not aiming to discredit what you said but to actually validate it on a wider scale. First, it's best to disregard how the United States categorizes race especially regarding blackness and whiteness. Okay, I agree that one can see that a person is connected to a race regardless if they are light or dark skin. Take a deeper look at the continent of Africa. Not only are there different skin tones but clearly different facial features--but it's geographically ALL Africa. If we just google a Somalian, Ethiopian, Kenyan, Nigerian, North African Berber and Moroccan, you will notice clear differences in these groups features. I know that North Africa got later mixed up with some European, but studies show that the Berbers are original people of Africa. Some Berbers are darker in skin tones, but they don't look anything like the Khoisan of Southern Africa; these are not subtle differences either like you see amongst Chinese and Japanese. And by the way, I can tell Asians apart, Korean, Chinese and Japanese have some very visual facial and body mass differences. Europeans: A southern Italian and a Finnish or Sweden person look as different as a Nigerian and a Somalian. People, genetics are based on the environments which they've lived in for thousands of years, as well as generations of racial admixtures. If a Moroccan mixes with an Italian the child would likely look somewhere in between both, that's because many North Africans and Italians do share similar features. Overall African genetics are strong so when you mixed usually any other "race" with African DNA, although one may come out lightskinned, you can see obvious
African features of predominately Western, Southern, Central African regions. So here in the United States where many African Americans do have European DNA, regardless of skin tones, you see they are connected to Africa. Africa is sooo diverse but it's all Africa; I see big differences amongst African groups. What most of Africa shares is similar deeper skin tones based on climate, but genetically these groups vastly differ. However, in the U.S. for decades it seems, kids haven't been taught about Africa's history, tribes, genetics and great kingdoms. It ALL gets lumped into "black" believe me, Africans see themselves differently as a people than the U.S. labels them, and so do Europeans and Asians for that matter. Indeed, the vast majority of Africans certainly aren't white, but there's so much more to these people groups than placing a "white man's" brand of description on them and letting it be. The same happens to Native Americans, yes they share some common features, but they no way all look the same. It seems there's been a condiitioning in our society to look quickly at someone and if they meet the similarity description even before asking them who they are, they a placed in a box and labeled. This is why during Pearl Harbor many Native Americans got mistaken for being Japanese in Oregon, they can tell you there horror stories. Japanese are way lighter than most Native Americans but they matched the straight black hair and deep almond eyes and that was enough for them to be considered the enemy while they're natives of the land. So in summing this up, this reality of labeling and disregarding who people truly are, yes, I call this racism. I am of African, Asian, European and Native American backgroud, something about me resembles all of these groups, I'm told this by the public, I agree and accept all of my background. So saying black or white is a race is very questionable with such global mixing. All the best.
@@selinaBARMAR2565 wow this has to be the most complete answer I have ever seen on RUclips . Thank you for taking your time in order to answer perfectly like that . I get your point and won’t disagree with you. However , I need to explain how I perceive race . In French (English isn’t my first language, it’s French so I may do mistakes ) breed doesn’t exist . Instead of saying a breed of dog , we will just say a race of dog . That’s why growing up I always perceived race to be a group of people who look alike and with the same skin color . However , I changed my mind in my teens and I consider race to be a group of people who look alike with similarities in their cultures and have a shared history . For example I would consider Europeans to be white but not Arabs and North Africans . In this case , certain Europeans ( mostly from the Iberian peninsula ) who look like Arabs physically would have been considered as Arabs with my previous definition of race which only took into account physical features . However, with my new definition they are still white due to culture similarities ( western culture , language ,Christianity etc ...) . Hence , white and Arabs will be different races in my opinion . If we only go with physical differences we can also say that Khoisan ,Cushitic and Nilotic people are not black just because they don’t have ‘’Bantu ‘’ features. However I would still consider them to be ‘ black ‘ because of a shared history and cultural similarities. Before disagreeing with me, let me give you an example . A lot of people living in Ethiopia wouldn’t say they are black if you ask them what race they are . However , Ethiopians on RUclips (RUclipsrs , random comments by Ethiopians etc ...) will say they are . Why is that ? The answer is pretty easy: ethiopians who consider themselves black are just conscient of the shared history and cultural similarities that they have with other black People . They may not alike ( even if there are certain tribes in west-central Africa that may easily pass as Ethiopians like the Fulani people ) but they can share this same identity because of common struggles. That’s just how I see race : Common struggles , history , physical appearance in some cases and cultural similarities .
@@ahumanwhodoesntlikenoobs395 Agree. I like that we are having this open discussion and enlightening each other, hopefully more and hitting areas that too often many refuse to discuss. Yes, Arabs, North Africans, Berbers, and Southern Europeans are similar to many in appearances. But based on experience and culture, even the lightest Arab is more culturally related to North Africans and all other Africans who share religion, values and cultural practices. Southern Europeans at large, Italians, Greeks, Southern France are overall culturally not connected to the Arab World. Language, and culture plays a major role also in racial identification. I'll take myself for example, after doing DNA it so happens that I have some DNA with different African tribes: Khoisan, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Yoruba Nigerian, North African Berbers, Comoros, and Jordanian Arabs. Europe: Irish, British, Italian. Central Asia: Turkey. Americas: Aztec Tribe, Mexico, Puerto Rico. Genetically I'm Afroeurasian. But based on all of these mixtures, I identify as an Afro Latina, Afro Mexicana, Puerto Rican, Lumbee Tribe or Hispanic. Why? Well, genetically it's already expected for Hispanics in the United States to have several admixutures of African, European, Asian and Native American ancestors; this is based on our shared history. Very few of us are just black, white or Native American, rather the vast majority of us are Tri-racial. I'm fascinated by my African tribal connections, but I've never lived on the continent of Africa, or Europe. I don't share the customs of Khoisan or Ethiopians--but I'm open to learning. But for me to walk in a room and say "I am from the San Tribe, Ethiopian, Nigerian, Arab, or Irish, and having never lived within those cultures to share their experiences and struggles, to me wouldn't be proper. Being the culturally connected person that I am and I love exploring cultures believe me, I grew up in New York City in a melting pot of cultures. All of my history and DNA is a part of me true, but culturally and based on experience, I'm not a true Kenyan or Ethiopian--even if I share the same features. And by the way, many have thought that I was Ethiopian, Somalian, Moroccan, or often just mixed race. But with my wide spaced apart eyes, I see the Khoisan in me too. But I find very few people I meet have even heard of this group, so no one is going to say to me, "oh I see the Khoisan in you because your eyes are widespaced." lol

Great results. I'm Haal Pulaar from Senegal and Mauritania. I was born and I live in Dakar. I took a test from AncestryDNA in late October 2019 and I received the results in November 2019 . I only got three regions which are 91 % Senegal, 6 % Mali and 3 % Northern Africa. When did you receive your results back? It seems your ancestors left Fouta Toro, live in West African areas like Nigeria and resettled in Senegal. Your DNA results suggest it.
Thank you ! That’s definitely a possibility for me; being that people from Fouta Toro went to Nigeria and eventually set up the Sokoto Empire as well. It could also be a result of my mother’s side as well. But I will only truly know if one my brothers or my father takes the DNA test for sure. Since Fulani are nomadic , it’s possible my ancestors traveled and settled in other regions only to come back to Senegal.
Well Articulated in French and English
Thank you !!
I am Haitian American 🇭🇹🇺🇲 and I have French in me. 🇫🇷🤍🔥
@dijalosha You have a very interesting ancestry. It showed me a lot about what I have said when it comes to migration patterns and wars in Africa being fought. As it turns out that many people overlook the actual caravan slave trade of the Arabians in North Africa. That is because many African Americans had no idea it took place. All they knew was the transatlantic slave trade. They thought white people was the first to take slaves from Africa. Boy how they was wring is misinformed.
The Arabians have ruled over 1,500 plus years in North Africa. That takes us back to a date of around 522 AD. During that timeframe they were in conquest of North Africa after chasing the Roman Empire out of Arabia with the help of Turkey in which they the Roman Empire had once conquered. After securing several countries in North Africa including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and several othe countries they turned Southwards into Sudan, Chad, and several other countries.
Around 701 AD is when the Sudan People or Fulani were converted to Islam and was an important piece in helping spread the religion of the Arabians to the rest of Africa. More than likely many Fulani were taken as slaves back to Arabia and upwards into Asia and Europe. Because of their conquest I believe this is why the Fulani were so nomadic.
They was used in wars after being concerted at the tip of a sword. This is why I say that the conversion of Africans to islam was the worst thong for Africans and the best thing for the Arabians looking to spread their religious to the rest of Africans. Do you see how the wars of African history start matching the migration patterns yet?
The Arab horsemen moved caravans of African Slaves into the western Africa and out of western and southwestern Africa. This is actual historical facts. The beginnings of the Transatlantic slave trade started in the very early 1,500's in which was years after the Europeans started getting into more wars with the Arabians and Turks. Those battles you still see going on today. Welcome to the Bush era wars and 9/11 and all of that right on up to today.
Back then there was a secret society of hitmen called the hashashin which is nit just a John Wick movie society of hitmen. This is real life stuff here. They claim to have disbanded years ago, but their beliefs and reasons for suicide bombings and what nots still exist today.
Their favorite weapon of choice is poison. This is why when the Kings, Queens, Princesses, and Princes started dropping from poisoning they created food testers to keep from dying of food poisoning. The same went with the Pirates as well. None of them ate the food on their plates until AFTER someone else ate from their plate first. Yes they ate behind other people.
This is possibly why your bloodlines matches with people in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Former slaves now free in those lands. Including India as well. This is why you have to start looking at the actual history of Africans and match the migration patterns young man.
You have done an Ancestry test. Try taking the raw data to a website called HomeDNA.com and upload it for their African Edition of their test. Originally the test costs around $200, but since the hard part gas been done they give you a $160 discount on their services. You only pay around $40. Their GPS Origins Test is the only one like it on the market so far as I have seen. Others might have cropped up lately.
I choose the UK companies because they have bern sampling everything from the soil to the people themselves eve since they have first set foot on the African Continent. And I do mean they sampled everything. Their knowledge of Africans and their cultures is more thorough than all others. Which is why I also want to point you to another test from GTLDNA.com. However their tests are a little more expensive. I don't know your financial situation. But if you can afford it I suggest you give those two companies a little more of your time. It won't be wasted.
Also I want to welcome you to the CRIgenetics.com family as well. They have an actual Nobel Prize winning Scientist on their team. They are known for running special for first time buyers to their testing. I really hope that you enjoy their work.
There is a difference between genealogy and genetics. Genealogy can have you climbing somebody elses family tree. Even if they were close relatives to you as you grew up the might have zero genetic ties to you. That's where genealogy can lead you astray.
Genetics is that forensic evidence that police use in court. Only way to beat it is in how it got into the area it was found. That's were genealogy helps. Happy treasure hunting and welcome to the folds of history and becoming the historian of your family.

Have you received any updates on your DNA? I'm surprised you received Benin & Togo and Nigeria. I've noticed the updates have shrunk the regions down a bit.
not at all surprising. Fulani are mainly nomadic people that have traveled the Sahel region for centuries and they are very prevalent in the northern region of all those countries. Keep in mind that the vast majority of these country borders in Africa were randomly made up by Europeans after 1884

Beautiful fulani sister
Some of the comments are so cringeworthy. A lot of African Americans, Caribbeans, and Latin Americans see familiarity in the presenters phenotype (features) simply because a lot of African Americans, Caribbeans, and Latin Americans are of Fulani descent and therefore tend to have Fulani phenotypes among them. It has nothing to do with the latter groups having whatever degree of European ancestry. Some of you need to open a book and learn about the transatlantic slave trade before typing your nonsense.
Thank you for not claiming you are Hebrew or Israelite! I think these people are lost and do their peoples a terrible disservice.

Woaaaw 100% African tu peux être que fier que il y a pas eu de mélange du a l’esclavage. Moi aussi j’ai envie de faire le test 😍😍😍
oui faites le test mais attendez sa mise en vente. ce sera moins cher 🤗
@@dijalosha9513 lol! your test puts to bed the idea that non africans have that Fulani Fulbes and Mbororo aren't fully africans. Les gens n'aiment pas la diversite africaine. Its like they want africans to look like one specific phenotype. I am half Swazi ( look at my folk online) , my wife is Serer from sn. doesn't speak it sadly.
@@PHlophe I definitely agree with you ! I think there is this ideology that if you're of a lighter skin tone, you have to be mixed. Which isn't always the case. Many of my neighbors back home are also Serer 🇸🇳
@@PHlophe nah, these dna tests only show how well their customers match the reference populations in their databases.
The reference populations at ancestry dna are partially Eurasian, that's why she doesn't score anything non-African. And North Africans are mostly Eurasian anyway, which she scores 5% of here.
Fulanis carry significant ancient (and sometimes more recent) North African ancestry, which explains why they are shifted towards Eurasia compared to most other West Africans, sometimes more Eurasian than the average African-American.
Also, here we have a girl with Susu and Maninka ancestry, which decreases the North African/Eurasian compared to more average Fulanis.
@@Tsukonin The fact that she has maninka or susu has nothing to do with her not having a lot of north african. Most of sahelians like the mandinka, wolof, soninke, etc have north african dna not just fulani. There is a half soninke half fulani girl who has 15% north african dna.
4:44 fulani ethinc group ,ok. cool
Please learn your ethnic language, it’s honouring your ancestors
4:23 Senegalese, ok . cool
Muritania iṣ arabic 100%
Even marrying a foreigner is almost impossible, and this is also found in southern Morocco. Yemen, Mauritania and the Sahrawis have the same habits and their features are the same. Even their language is Arabic, and there is not a single word in their dialect a foreign word. Rather, they master the Arabic language more than any country.
You can notice customs and some ancient relics to know your origin. The inhabitants of Tunisia and Lebanon today have the same dialect and features, and this is very strange, but in the past, the Carthaginians came from Lebanon and settled in Tunisia, but the strangest is their language. To this day in the Middle East and Morocco, even the vase and utensils of the Pharaohs are still used today, and there are many examples.
But the strange thing about the matter is that Africa and Latin America changed their customs, religion and language, but in the Middle East, not even the Romans could impose their religion, and even western colonialism, nothing changed.
I see the North African in her, beautiful woman👍
You are crazy... you can see her five percent North african genes but you can't see her ninety five percent West African genes?.. you are a pure racist.
@@kofisam9650 right 😂
This is pure nonsense. Mali has different ethnic groups and Fulani is not a major group there. So why would Mali be number 1 on your DNA results? There are more Fulani in Cameroon, Chad, Burkina Faso, Guinea but none of these countries show on the DNA results. I think it is deceitful to link DNA results to a whole country instead of a particular ethnic group in that country
She explained Mali is a region that included other countries.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Mali is not a region. Mali is one country in a region called West Africa. Stop talking nonsense.
@@lgnawa Did you watch the video? Careful how you speak to a brother, especially one of my age. In the video, the presenter made clear that they were going beyond the Mali borders into other region and describing it as Mali. I did not say that Mali was what they said it was. I pointed out how they were defining Mali when they used the name. I don't even agree with it. But that's what the DNA company did in their description, not mine. Be respectful.
@@benjaminsmith2287k my apologies my brother. I listened over again. This DNA results based on region is pure nonsense. To.make of Mali a region that includes the countries she listed is pure nonsense. Mali itself have different groups with different DNA. Mali has a 13% Fulani. Guinea has a 33% Fulani. Senegal has 26% Fulani. Her parents are predominantly Fulani from Guinea and Senegal. So why the DNA shows Mali at a higher percentage when we know that Mali is predominantly Mandé people also known as Malinké or Mandinka or Maninka or Mandingo? Why include Burkina Faso and other countries into Mali when those countries also have ethnic groups not related to those in Mali, like the Mossi who are the largest group in Burkina? If a Mossi from Burkina who is related to a Dagomba of Ghana takes a DNA, what is it going to show? Mali? Those results are very confusing. I think it is a great mistake and error to link DNA to countries with borders artificially created by Europeans colonizers. DNA should instead identify ethnic groups instead of countries that have many different ethnic groups within its borders.
@@lgnawa No problem, brother. I agree with you. Europeans drew fake borders separating ethnic lands.
So many Pulo’s in Jamaica and America.
Sis you Peulh 😆 🤣 😂
😳😒👎
Fulaa means somali camal follower
Ehh dija don’t let me catch you claiming Senegal no more your Malian lol
lol I’m everything 🙌🏽
I love French. I am so proud to have French as my language. 🇫🇷🔥
Girl said her race is black😆😆😆😆.
Black is a colour not a race sweetheart, you mean African.
What kind of idiotic statement is this? Black is also used as race and not only color. A word can be given different meanings.
@@lgnawa doesnt make it a race.
yellow
brown
red
peach/white
Human race.
I'm human, not a colour identifier.
@@olajong2315 Seems like you are slow and have a comprehension problem. Words can be given meaning as a figure beside their etymological meaning. Black and white etymologically are colors, but they are used figuratively as race. This is how languages work. When you tell someone you killing me, it does not mean that he is murdering you. You are using that word as a figure of speech. Black and White are used to mean races. Yellow and Red were also used but are not used today as in the past. Now the main races races are categorized as black or Negroid, White or Caucasian or Caucasoid, Asian or Mongoloid. These are how the three major human races are classified today. Black , White and Asian are the common way races are identified today. We humans give to words their meaning. Society had decided to classify the main races with these words. So that is what words means when it comes to race. Black is the term that is used in the English language to identify people of a darker hue. This got nothing to do with what you think. You are not the one who create words and their meaning. Your name is not on the dictionary.
what's the difference of being black and African because all blacks come from Africa ...so what's the difference
This is an african-american
Lol shes not
She legit said she was born in Senegal
She from Africa, gained American citizenship
@@quinncole8122 that doesn’t mean she is african american she a senegalese with american citizenship. And African American is someone with slave ancestry in the United States. How you a grown man and dont know that
@@bk6489 that's very offensive, reclassification lumped every melanated person into the category of African or slave, when only 6% percent of slaves came to America. African American classification doesn't make sense,
The ethnic group would be African. Ethnic groups are for example African, Asian, European, middle eastern...I could go on. Don’t see how that directly relates to culture because you could be adopted by people of another race and know nothing of your culture or nationality and you’d still have the same ethnicity...with sub-groups of course.
African is NOT an ethnic. For example im Congolese & Tanzanian. My ethnic is Bantu & Arab ( my grandfather is from Oman)
Looks Just Like American DNA.
Looks nothing like black American dna. She is 100% African. Only problem is that everyone in Africa ain't black.
fulani must get 15% or 20% east Africa somali Fulani are somalian test DNA again and you will get another result DNA 60% not real only 40% thnks sister
Shut up. Fulani aren't Somali/east African
@@AfriPrincess411 Many Somalis think everyone who's not Cushitic is Bantu. In their culture, they believe Africans either belong to Bantu, Cushitic or Arab. Can you see that craziness?
@@sunnya4310 so annoying. Any beautiful African thet claim has "cushitic" blood. Ridiculous
@@sunnya4310 Not Really , stop taking a guyy named "lovely man " serious.
You can't claim people like objects.fulanis don't have Somali blood.juat because they resemble us don't mean we the same.ana cabeyn xawayan yohow
You look mixed. Surprised you only have 5% North African.
Having North African ancestry doesn’t mean that she had NON African ancestry.
What makes her look mixed? Her skin is relatively "fair" in a Senegalese context but her face is characteristic of the many faces a black African can have.
@@benjaminsmith2287 on average Senegalese have about 6% North African genetic contribution to their gene pool no matter how dark they are.
@@mwinyimwenyi North African doesn't have to mean light skin. And 6 percent isn't much.
