    Ghana and Ivory Coast are literally the same country as the large group in Ghana and Ivory Coast are the Akans people. Before all the caving of Africa, there were no borders even during the slave era. NIGERIA, GHANA TOGO, BENIN, AND IVORY COAST ARE one big heavy rich areas hence British, Dutch , Portuguese , French and the Scandinavian countries were there for the slaves and minerals like Gold, ivory. So you come from a very rich part of the African continent.

    I specifically watched this video because I have heard that people from Guyana have a lot of Ghanaian/Akan ancestry and your results did not disappoint because you literally have the highest Ivory coast/Ghana percentage I have ever seen for someone who doesn't have recent Ghanaian ancestry!

    • @ALL-EMBRACING

      Yeah I’m kinda shocked myself but! The history of where our African Guyanese slaves come from also makes sense.

    You don't have to 'fit-in', you are who you are. I was born and raised in the UK - parents are from the Caribbean and though I was raised from the age of 6 in a 98 percent white area I never had issues with identity.

    • @ALL-EMBRACING
      @ALL-EMBRACING  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks for sharing. My issue wasnt about fitting in and it wasn’t directed towards whites. I had unwelcoming issues from blacks as well. I dont have a problem with this anymore, it’s something i thought to share, the reasoning to why i was doing the test is just as important. Just to add not because you never had the experience i may have, let’s learn to respect people’s experience for what they are. You saying you never had that experience almost appears dismissive of mine the way you phrased it. I’m not sure if it was intentional but I’m just letting you know how it came across. I’m happy you never had to go through that but others do unfortunately

    You actually look very Ghanaian.
    Your results a quite unique because most people get a higher Nigeria, Cameroon/congo western bantu peoples combination than Ghana/Ivory Coast.
    I am Fante as well and I did the test recently.
    Results
    73- Ivory Coast Ghana, 24 Benin togo
    1- Norway, 1- Portugal, 1- Eastern Europe/Russia.
    I will try and see if there are any Fante applications I can recommend or TH-cam channels.

      Finding our ancestors is difficult because of our beginnings in the countries outside of Africa, I’m an AA an I bet I can trace that 40% of British and Irish, but I’m not interested, really was to know the tribe of my African ancestor that was on that slave ship. That was my beginning and why I live in this place called America.

  • @why2874
    @why2874 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Why people from the islands can’t see they are the same as the AA’s, with the exception AA are a mixture of British and Irish. It will take an act of god for us to trace our ancestors because of our beginnings in these countries outside of Africa. What I’m finding also people from the island’s have a much higher percentage of African DNA than most AA. HOPING YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND A GREAT LIFE

It is so obvious for us to make the difference between you, thanks to the difference between us, Africans. We didn't want to tell you but we pretty much knew who's who among black Americans.

      @willstar3537 my father is from Trinidad and Tobago and is of African Ancestry. My mother is a White American. My father has roots in St.Kitts and Nevis and Martinique as well. I notice a lot of people in Trinidad and other parts of Caribbean even including my mixed race self to a degree, have this very particular body shape and neck shape it's kind of hard to explain but the neck kind of extends forward a bit. My father has dark coppery brown extremities and the rest is dark beige. Dark copper face and bald top of head. Cottony coiled afro hair. Very wrinkled knobby hands with peculiar dark tinted nails. I get the feeling that our genetic background from the slave trade period is quite complicated and involving people from remote areas of Africa intermingling with fully genetic Europeans (like many people) but I am really curious about the type/s of African genetics we have running through our veins.
