I took a DNA test. And it turns out I am 65% Nigerian. My family has been on American soil since the early 1700’s 🥹 the other 35% is plantation violence. But I am elated that my African ancestry is from one country. Yall. 😩🇳🇬
I should add, I really did find my way back. I married a Yoruba man and now have a Yoruba last name. We have 3 babies. I found my way back home 🇳🇬🌍😌
