They call it "Africa". However, I personally call it "HOME". My Africa, my pride. ❤
Yes!!!!
Absolutely.
I’m from Ghana, watching this made me tear up. Amazing, I wish every AA gets the chance to know where their ancestors come from
@BeautybyBniecy, aww, that is so wonderful to have read, you are awesome!
Y’all sold us
@@southga4655 hey hey let's not ruin the moment with this bull shit - an African American
@@m33t22 truth hurts tap dancer
@@southga4655 Go read a book dummy , not every African sold other Africans most were stolen
This is awesome. If every other country in African can imitate this, it is going to be more awesome. Kudo to Sierra Leone Government!
Amazing culture
A lot of them are
This is awesome, Africans are profoundly blessed, and I firmly believe we can do more with unity
Exactly.
Please get your citizenship. Mende is one of our largest indigenous proud peoples... Welcome home welcome m e home....so proud of you..I am in tears right now.. glad .so glad that you came back home.. Amen
Wow the energy is incredible - I'm from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and I dream of going to visit Africa. I will probably need a day to mourn and cry when I get there.
Hope all is well on your trip there.
I said the same thing! I know when my feet touch the ground in Africa I am going to do nothing but cry. I just want to go home. As soon as I take the test and get my results, I'm planning a trip
Very touching and inspiring. Thank you Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. Love from a Nigerian.🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🙏🏽
I’m so emotional watching this and I can’t wait to go home in a few weeks to Nigeria. Reclaim my Roots
Am a Nigerian as well from south east an igbo tribe
@@kenviccomedyhouse43 sameeee
The skin is so dark and proud
Wow! No matter how long and one spends in foreign land, there is no place like home. African is truly a home for all African Americans.
This is so beautiful and emotional, once an African always an African
I am highly proud to be an African and happy about this initiative
I hope this will start happening across the whole of Africa
This is awesome feeling for me as an African knowing they traced back to their roots.... The initiative is on point
Thank you for making this presentation to document the journey of Black Americans' return to their ancestral home...Serria Leone & Mama Africa! Well done! Thank you, Grace Macauley for putting this together.
Really emotional one for me as an African but the best feeling is knowing they all traced back to their roots... Awesome!
I love this, this is pure culture, one love Africa
The passion for Africans is just great
Why am a crying like a baby! Saving up to take my African Ancestry DNA test! Always felt like something was missing in my life. Not knowing what tribes we come from! Nothing past slavery (painful.)
Did you get the results
I feel the same. ❤
This is quite a tribute and was a very emotional experience for me. Grace Macauly blessed the eight of us with this documentary episode. I was renamed Mabondo Kpaycho, leader of the Bondo Society and reclaimed.
Congratulations!
It was great being able to tell part of your story.
Congrats Wanda, so happy for you and the others. I too am Mende & Temne sharing maternal DNA id Sierra Leone...
Congratulations to you Mabondo!
congratulations! which DNA service did you use?
We will all be there soon. Missing home already.
I LOVE THIS!!! I am in shock at the amazing things that happened on this homecoming. It went from typical, to traditional, to commemorative, and finished with honors that left me in awe.
To go on a homecoming trip and gain citizenship is amazing. To then be able to meet the Chief of your people, to learn to cook traditional food, to be initiated among your tribe and named....WOW!! What an honor!
it's sad but also very emotional to trace your ancestry, keep up the wonderful work done, peace and love
Keep maintaining the African culture. It’s our identity
I love this story! We need to reconnect like we need to breathe. I just learned my African ancestry and I will be going home to reconnect
All the best 🎉
Cultural activities reminds us where our roots are. So proud to be an African🤗
Agreed!
This is mind blowing and amazing . i am proud to be Africa!
Knowing your origin is a great satisfaction one can have
I love this. it is so interesting and soothing for one to trace his/her ancestral root.
So much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ to our beloved A family. You're home at last and we are proud of you all and happy you returned cos you're home at last. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ to all Sierra Leone people from Nigeria. What a video. What a remarkable event. Thank God I'm alive to even watch and witness this on TH-cam. Thank you Gracious God.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes indeed Mrs. Cousar. It was truly an knowledgeable and emotional experience. I will never forget those days and plan to go back soon!
Going back to the roots, understanding ones roots gives you a better understanding of who one is really is...
This had me bawling like a baby. This is so wonderful to see. The natives greeting them outside the airport, welcoming them home was so beautiful to witness. The Sierra Leonean government offering them citizenship was so thoughtful. It was also nice to see how they're like everyone else there, just another face in the crowd, instead of being "black". You have a name, a tribe and ancestors who belonged to a land. The dirty lies we've been fed about Africa in the west is a damn shame.
identifying and understanding ones origin is very important
This is amazing, I love Africa
So beautiful how as Africans we have never stopped being welcoming. How beautiful it would be to have all African countries open it's arms to all its children in diaspora just so they can know, that this is home and you are loved, dearly.
Reinventing our cultural inheritance in a spectacular way. The performances are awesome.
This is awsome very nice
My culture my pride
Proud to be an African
So proud of you folks
GOD is moving throughout the world releasing the TRUTH! Truth will set you free!
Amazing video
This is beautiful. I hope they were able to trace their lineage in Serri Leone, it would make this experience more complete.
We did trace our lineage back to Sierra Leone and received our passports. We are now Sierra Leoneans🙏🏾
Amazing!! .. African culture should be maintained and kept for our future kids.
Wow this is really amazing and an awesome initiative, our roots and origin should never be forgotten
Fantastic
So proud being African... i believe its a home of talents

Wow, what a historical moment for them.
Good video very informative about African culture
This is what every sincere African government needs to follow is offer citizenship to those desiring to return home 🌍
No, stop. They dont need to do that, stop demanding. They dont need to do that to show their sincerity either....🙄
I'm just seeing this...... this is something I MUST DO before I get outta here.... Lord willing.... to go home..... where my ppl came from.....
It so interesting and historical event. Feel great to get the chance to watch this.
Very touching
GREAT VIDEO KEEP THEM COMING
janet bolton I will do my best, thank you
Nice Content
This is really nice. Talents should be appreciated
This is beautiful 🥺I am so happy you were able to trace your roots. Welcome back home 🤗
This is so amazing Africa is an interesting place to be.
This awesome video reminds me of the song by Teni where she says "no matter where and how far you go, remember the road that leads you home". This homecoming is beautiful as there's no place like home.
One thing is love about us Africans, passion. I just hope we could convert all these to make Africa better place for all. God gat your back
Very nice
Wow So intresting...Well done
This year I found out my ancestors are from Sierra Leone and I just want to know more so badly but I don’t want to use my DNA to find out 🥺 I am however grateful for this video!!! It is like love to see my people experience this. One day I will for myself, I have faith.
Awesome am very much interesting ,I ll watch more videos
This is amazing, proud of African
African culture is beautiful. Love it and thanks for sharing
I thought this was awesome. There should be a company that does tours like this. And I want to propose that the African ancestry test be provided as apart of any reparation package they might approve. I think we should get back even just a little of what was taken culturally.
v nice its very good.
What a beautiful documentary about the return of the descendants of the people who were unfortunately slaves. Oh, how I hate slavery, but a beautiful and good reception for the people.
With wonderful music, dance and acrobatics and what is man very flexible say that he could fold himself in half.
What a full of inspiration journey. Hope other people around the world will take this as an inspiration to start their own too.
I am proud of the African culture our heritage.
Wow so amazing
So interesting!
Alfreda Sivalie thank you
Very Interesting
The strength of being a native especially Africa
Wow this is amazing. Never knew things like this happened
I'm tired of just identifying as black I want to find who I'm really I'm
