Congratulations to @asaprocky and @badgalriri on their pregnancy news! Can I just say that Rih is absolutely glowing even though its freezing and snowing. The fashionista didn't disappoint wearing beautiful and natural makeup, definitely @fentybeauty and she was wearing a vintage coat from the F/W 1996 Chanel collection. The jewelry brings it altogether! 😙👌🏼 #Rihanna is from #Barbados, her mother is #AfroGuyanese and her father is #African and #Irish. A$AP, whose real name is #RakimMayers, is from #Harlem. His father was also from Barbados. Rihanna was titled with the honorific prefix "The Right Excellent" last year when Barbados finally became an independent parliamentary republic. Sandra Mason became the island's first president, replacing Queen Elizabeth as head of state. President Mason named Rihanna a National Hero of Barbados. At this point, this baby may be the future prince or princess of Barbados. I'm betting on a little princess because of the pink coat! 🤞🏼💘🍼🎀 🇧🇧🇮🇪 #mixedgirlmonday #happymixedgirlmonday #mixedgirlshavingmixedbabies https://www.instagram.com/p/CZasxFwMxNA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Region: Guyana, SOUTH AMERICA System/Religion: Comfa Comfa aka. Komfa/Kumfah is focused on the Water Mumma, or Goddess of the water. The full moon and black water are important in the timing and placing of ceremonies which is normally defined by elements of ecstatic, trancelike dancing, and spirit possession, induced by drumming. It is practiced in Guyana, mainly by the descendants of enslaved Africans. According to sociolinguist Kean Gibson, the foremost expert on Guyanese Comfa, the religion is currently practiced by about 10 percent of the country’s African-Guyanese population. Cultural historian Brian Moore also indicated that in postcolonial Guyana, the religious practices designated by the term Cumfo were also referred to as Watermama in honor of the river. Wikipedia describes Comfa as a mixture of Odinani, Akan, Kongo, and Yoruba religion and knowledge traditions, along with Indigenous American, Asian, and European elements.

Happy 60th I Independence Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 (Photo stolen from my queen Miss Guyana UK 2016 @lauren_felicity). Afro Guyanese are highly influenced by the traditions, cultures & ways of Ghana as it's the country of origin for many of us. I can't say all, as I don't know it to be so. From Nancy stories, the way we decorate our body with gold, the dashikis worn by H.E President David Granger & Ernest Elliott, playing the djembe drums, the fufu our grandparents make etc. We really must pat ourselves on the shoulders for preserving the culture we know; learn more & teach the future generation. 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️💛💚 #GhanaIndependence #60Years #Guyana #Culture #Tradition #African #AfroGuyanese
