Thank you!

Thank you for watching! I agree, it's fascinating to learn about the African diaspora in places where they are less visible in mainstream culture. I hope you enjoy some of the other videos in the series too! I have done videos on Jamaica and on the UK, which might interest you because of your heritage. Thanks again! ✊🏽

Thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked it!

Saludos desde Londres! 👋🏽🇬🇧

How does one meet the Afro-Bolivians in the Yungas region?

Afrobolivian villages are innlos yungas, get to Coroico in La Paz, and it's easy from there, you only need to ask because most afro bolivian villages are nearby.

@@omartorrez2353 thank you so much for the informations. We are planning a trip there in december

@@claudine3322 you're welcome, I'm sure you will enjoy your trip!

That's fantastic! I am already in the process of planning it

Hiya! I have made two videos on Cuba which you'll find in the same Afro Americas playlist :) there is part 1&2

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial Thank you, I enjoyed the part 1&2 videos on Afro Cubans.

I do! I have one on the Gullah Geechee community 😊

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial I just watched it today and enjoyed it.

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial I love your three videos on . I been there twice recently 15 months ago and finally made it Pelenque.

Wow that's amazing! I'm sure you had an incredible experience!

If you’re American n want to go to Bolivia, I believe you would need a visa.

Hiya 👋🏽 I'm afraid I can't re-edit videos that have already been posted, but thank you for the info.

Hi Omar, thanks for watching and for your feedback. I will respectfully disagree with your statement that my video aims to make a comparison with racism in the US. In any case, thank you for sharing your perspective and for providing further insight into the topic, it's appreciated. Best wishes, Fayida

Hi Fayida, perhaps I should have explained my previous statement a bit better. My intention was not to invalidate the teachings of your video. If my statement came across in that manner, then I sincerely apologize. My intention was to point out that racism based on the color of the skin in bolivia is not first in line. Based on my personal experience as a Bolivian and traveler. Economic status, education level and where you live or come from are usually first, second and third in line, then perhaps skin color. In the specific case of the yungas, I still believe isolation causes these Bolivians to have little to no interaction with the rest of the country. If there were better highways to yungas, then probably more people would mix, interact, and perhaps racial issues based on the color of our skin would arise. However, I don’t think that mass interaction, which brings agreements and disagreements between human groups, has occurred yet. I hope this helps clarifying my thoughts.

Hi Omar, thank you so much for clarifying and adding context. It makes total sense what you say and it's wonderful to have your perspective on the subject, thank you. My intention with this channel is to bring attention to communities of African descent around the world. Sadly oftentimes when I tell people there are black communities in Bolivia, Argentina, India, Iran or wherever it may be, they look at me in disbelief - as if it is unfathomable that a person could be simultaneously Bolivian and black. The aim of this project is to make people understand that these communities exist and have contributed enormously to the societies they are a part of. I am not trying to compare racism in any country to the US or anywhere else, my intention is simply to highlight some of the challenges that these communities face, and in doing so challenge some of the negative stereotypes that surround the wider black community. I hope that gives you some insight into what Freedom Is Mine is and why I started the channel. If you have any information you would like to send regarding the Afro-Bolivian community, my email is in the description of the video and I would be very happy to hear from you! Material in Spanish or English is most welcome! Best wishes, Fayida

its very rare to see africans or zambos in La Paz, Bolivia

It depends bro they do have full Afro Bolivians there.

You can’t tell someone to forget who they are…they are part of the diaspora meaning their ancestors were brought as slaves… slaves brought their own customs and culture which has contributed to the country. They celebrate those customs and culture…

@@nymiuralee6586 If they are mixed and more indigenous than African, they should identify as Bolivian more than as African. If they are more African than indigenous, they of course would identity with African, but they should be thankful to the country where they live. BTW, since much time has passed since they arrived, they are likely more indigenous than African, with more and more of local mix and no further African mix as time passes. People have been misinformed for divide and rule.

@@Anon13100 They are almost full african, in the Andes there were not too much mestizaje, we are just Native American, and the africans were isolated and they didn't mix, there were too much tension between native americans and africans, for the natives africans were invaders and there were not interactions between these groups, in the Andes the Native Americans are full blood, they didnt even mixed with whites, so they are very proud of their Native American heritage Basically Argentina, Chile and Uruguay is white, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador is Native American, and only Venezuela, Colombia and the Caribe is black

They are indigenous to the land just like so called African Americans are indigenous to America. We don't care about our true history or our ancestors. We're fine with accepting fictional stories about Africa while ignoring obvious truths about America because we've been conditioned to think that all so called black people, regardless of where they're from have some kind of ancestral claim to Africa which is absolutely preposterous.

That's true, but telling black-diasporans is like talking to a brickwall. Black population actually decline in these countries

@@moorfortune901 I’ve learned overtime lol we have bigger concerns if we want things to change by our hand

@@raine5508 What are you talking about? You came as slaves to this continent
