As an Egyptian, I don't understand why people are shocked that I support Palestine. They are my homeland's neighbor, and on top of that, Israel has bombed our border as civilians fled and threatened Egypt if they try to send aid to Gaza.

Israel has given Egypt and Egyptians every reason to support Palestine.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

hi, I have been very busy recently and I have taken down many posts where I have had conflicts and edit some out, as well taking down non-drama related posts. I do not post here more recently and I do not like tumblr but I do use it for many ideas such as inspiration or leftist ideologies as well as Taino Content possible there, I also have taken MyHeritage and AncestryDNA that confirmed basically my genealogy (yes Taino & African is there, which can be traced back to the North,West, & Central Africa is there), they both also confirmed a very strong connection to the Canary Islands and Canarian Cubans, something I was also able to trace back, MyHeritage gave me a really high percentage of Moroccan DNA and gave me Algerian DNA which was my second highest DNA confirming its Guanche DNA as Guanches(so as well with the Bimbaches,Canarii,Maxos, Auaritas, Gomeros) are an Imazighen(Amazigh) people of the Canary Islands, as a Cubana Taíno, I do tend to work with my Imazighen ancestors to also help them heal and to help me reconnect with the Canary Islands, for I always knew I had Canarian blood and knew Canarians were also victims of Spanish colonization. but as of now, I mainly identify as a mixed origins/race indigenous Caribbean Taíno Cubana. I hope to meet many other Tainos,Arawaks and Even Canarian Amazigh people too who also may wanna give me resources, until next time bye loves🫀

Free Palestine

Any brand, any artist, any celebrity, and any pathetic excuse for a human that doesn’t support Palestine, no longer has my support or interest.

Preparations at dawn with the family 🌱

I NEVER POSTED MY LARGE PIECE OF THE MONTH

It was meant to be posted on l’eid but it took longer, and it’s honestly so funny since the piece is inspired by l’eid. In which the kitchen is just a chaos to walk through its like a warzone and i tried to replicate that by the density in which the family members lie. My favourite dishes the outside air always being thick yet close to sunset but never quite touching the horizon.

Hey as a mixed North African, I was wondering if you had any tips/advice for reconnecting with my culture? I’m Very sorry if this ask is rude or insensitive at all

This is not rude at all and I’m happy you’re trying to reconnect with your culture. That being said unfortunately I’m going to give you a very generic answer as I don’t know which languages you speak, the country where you live and which North African country you come from exactly.

Depending on where you live you can get in North African groups, if IRL groups are not an option, online groups are good too. I would suggest groups that are specifically related to the country you’re from as we all have different traditions and a different culture.

Connecting with your side of the family who is North African might not be an option but if it is, ask questions, the aunties, uncles and grandparents love talking about our culture.

History books. Are also interesting.

Legend and children’s tale are also good I have a couple books I can suggest if you speak French. My favorite stories were the ones with Mama Ghoula basically she is a ghoul and she is the equivalent of the big bad wolf. That being said some of our monsters are actually not legendary monsters at all but real colonizers who became monsters in children stories because of colonial trauma (Bouchou is actually Bugeaud) they can also be people who resisted colonialism (according to a Moroccan friend Aisha Kandisha was woman who resisted colonialism after they killed her husband by luring in Portuguese soldiers with her beauty and she would then kill them… later in the legend she became a woman who lure in men in general or just unfaithful men to kill then)

Food is also a good way to reconnect there’s tons of easy recipes online like baghrir, sfeng, shlada mechouia, fricassés…

Be super careful online cause there’s this new wave of supposedly Imazighen folks (I say supposedly cause while some are some are also just white people who wanna pretend they are exotic) who are trying to reconnect by believing every single thing online and by spreading misinformations in videos where they pretend the be knowledgeable on the subject. One of them legit said “Morocco” and “Moroccan” were slurs and good thing they didn’t try that shit with Algeria because our great grandparents didn’t die for people to be stupid and to refuse to call it Algeria and to call us Algerians so I would have insulted her so fucking much.
