Prof. Mena teaches Spanish language and also, about the history and culture of the Garifuna, people of African and Indigenous descent, living in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and The United States.

She was most impressive. I am a Garifuna Descendant from St. Vincent and the Grenadines
This makes me so proud to be Garifuna. Garifuna nuguya aye.
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!!!
OMG it make me so proud to see a Garifuna Woman on TEDx . .... when she singed 💔.... I related to her history. Garifuna ppl have a sense of resilience 💪🏾

Nodia Mena, I really appreciate the way you have described our garifuna culture. You make us all proud!
Thank you for representing the Garifunas💕
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.
I am from Roatan, Bay Islands of Honduras and NO WHERE do they teach this Fascinating history.... "31 day voyage... arrived in Roatan, April 12 1797". I ENJOYED your lively excellent presentation! Awesome presentation!

Hello dear , Hello , Garifuna my name is Kwabena am of Ghanaian Senegalese and Lesotho heritage I was told some of my ancestors are also from Belize who are Garifuna am learning more about the Garifuna right now am trying to get a Belize Citizenship as well . But I was born in the USA to African parents .
Great talk. I learned a lot. Thanks for the history lesson.
This is wonderful and i am so proud and i cant wait to share this with some of my friends. you are amazing!!!
Well said Nodia Mena🌹
Continue to share our Gaifuna culture 🖤💛✊🏾 with the world. I hope one day we can meet and sit to eat some machuca together 🤗💞 Seremei Nodia
We will!
Although there are many Garifuna people in the United States, I have never met anyone who told me they were Garifuna. I had a Costa Rican coworker tell me about the Garifuna people.
Wow, that's interesting and surprising to hear. We are very proud of our heritage.
Wow I am almost 40 years old and for the first time I learned something about my culture. So glad I found this video. I wonder if there’s a book about the Garifuna culture.
I’m 34 your not alone... American culture is very dominating but with technology and a desire we can all wake up and learn about our ancestors... Good luck to you
Thank you!
Beautiful!!” 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
Beautiful 🖤💛🤍
Beautiful! !!!
I love my culture 🟨⬜️⬛️

First
Te felicito mi hermana y prima Dios te siga bendiciendo siempre en todo lo que emprendas
Something is strange about the Garafunia and this ship wreck,one ship wreck created the Garifuna,ther's to manny of u for a ship wreck
There were no ship wrecks they are native to that land
that shipwrecked story is not true
It is shut up if you don't know
@@marcoitza1923 that’s been debunked over and over. It’s not true! How can slaves that were packed like sardines and in chains escaped a shipwreck? Use your brain.
@@Frostytemp83 It was docummented, it wasn't debunked LOL, stop listening to afrocentric lunatics.
