When I entered the Former Slave Market Site, I had to hold back tears. My heart was heavy, my eyes were full with water, my...
It was hard, my tour guide was so knowledgeable and shared stories with me about our ancestors that I need the world to know...
Please enjoy, share, and continue to show love.
I love you, our ancestors love you, the world loves you! Keep pushing, prospering and SUCCEEDING!
Much love family and friends.

Africa is home, even if I may not know where I am originally from.
Beyond the history books, documentaries and family conversations I dreamt about going back to the continent that my ancestors were taken from. My dreams became a reality back in 2016 when I was given the chance to go to Tanzania with my university. I fell in love and 3 years later I decided to go back...
My mission is to share my truth when I was living in East Africa (Tanzania, Rwanda, and Kenya) for a few months, through storytelling and video.
Lets heal the world and change the narrative!

Tanzania :Islands Zanzibar:full video
Zanzibar (/ˈzænzᵻbɑːr/; (Arabic: زنجبار Zanjibār) is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania in East Africa. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) off the coast of the mainland, and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja. Its historic centre is Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site.
The name Zanzibar is derived from the Persian zang-bâr signifying black coast.[5]
Zanzibar's main industries are spices, raffia, and tourism.[6] In particular, the islands produce cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. For this reason, the islands, together with Tanzania's Mafia Island, are sometimes called the Spice Islands (a term also associated with the Maluku Islands in Indonesia). Zanzibar is the home of the endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkey, the Zanzibar servaline genet, and the (possibly extinct) Zanzibar leopard.

나는 먼저 세계 문화유산으로 지정된 스톤 타운을 찾아갔다. 19세기 중반 오만제국의 수도가 자리잡았던 스톤타운엔 아랍도시의 체취가 물씬 풍겨나고 베란다가 아름다운 인도식 건축물도 꽤 많았다. 스톤타운 건물들의 감상 포인트 중 하나는 아름다운 대문장식이다. 대문은 그 집주인의 지위와 재력을 말해주는 상징이었다. 부유한 집안일수록 웅장한 대문에 화려한 문양을 장식했다. 대문들 중엔 흥미롭게도 뾰족하게 놋쇠 스파이크를 장식한 게 많다. 인도 건축문화의 영향을 받았기 때문이다. 코끼리들이 집에 부딪히는 걸 막으려고 인도인들이 대문에 달았던 쇠붙이장식이 건축유행으로 자리 잡았다고 한다. 매일 들고나는 평범한 문이지만 대문을 통해서 만나는 잔지바르의 역사가 흥미로웠다.

Aside from being pointed by many historians as the cradle of humanity, the country is mostly known for its paradisiacal beaches, captivating cultures, incredible wildlife, and iconic sites such as Mount Kilimanjaro or the Ngorongoro Crater.
In times like the one we live in, it is only natural that travellers (especially women, who in more patriarchal cultures are forced to mind their behaviour) have the need to feel safe when visiting an unknown land. However, it is important to not let carefulness turn into distrust – so no matter where you go, keep your eyes and heart open and leave preconceived ideas behind.
Tanzania is a relatively new country, only becoming a sovereign state in 1964. The territory is currently divided into 26 regions, with Dodoma being the capital, Dar es Salaam the largest city and port, and the archipelago of Zanzibar as its most popular tourist destination. Despite being included on the popular “dangerous Africa” misconception, Tanzania is a safe place to explore even for women travellers, provided you take common sense for granted (much like everywhere else).
Thus, things like not walking around in random areas at night, avoid using unlicensed cabs, or keeping cash in different places, go without saying. Also, for the less experienced travelers who often feel diffident to get out of uncomfortable or dodgy situations, it is worth reaching out to local women for help or advice, since they are more likely to relate to whatever you may be going through.
Alternatively, you may want to stick to areas with at least a bit of tourism infra-structure (like Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Pemba Island, among others) and try to organise trips with fellow travellers you meet on the way. All that being said, locals are usually friendly and very generous, and as long as you are respectful they will go out of your way to make sure you are safe and well. Plus, an honest smile can also go a long way.
As some of the features that attract travellers from across the globe to Tanzania are:
Zanzibar’s beautiful beaches
curious Arabic influences,
the popular Stone Town – ancient part of the city and the islands’ former capital, known for its labyrinth of historic buildings
the Mafia Marine Park, which boast an impressive colony of coral reefs and is home to mighty creatures like the whale shark.
On the mainland, the country is famous for its high-altitude landscape, dotted with vast plains and plateaus that give life to an incredibly diverse fauna and flora, as well as dramatic scenery. Arusha is the gateway to some of the country’s best natural attractions. From here, you can go on a safari through the plains of the Serengeti National Park, which concentrates a great number of mammals living freely, including the famous “big five”; the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the largest boilers intact the world; as well as to climb points such as Mount Kilimanjaro – the culmination of Africa with its 5,895 meters of altitude and “eternal” snowy peaks – and Mount Meru.
In order to make the most out of your adventure, you can get a professional help from tour companies who can to organise everything from transport to accommodation so you can focus on taking it all in. With tons of experience and local knowledge, they offer trips across the country with packages to suit every palate: wildlife safari tours, camping safaris, cultural and historical tours, mountain climbing, among others.
Although Tanzania hosts various ethnic groups, languages (Swahili as the official language but English is widely spoken), and religions, the country is relatively conservative, making it important to bear some things in mind so to respect their customs and traditions, especially when it comes to clothing.
Hence, try not to walk around in bikinis and mini-skirts, as it may be seen as disrespectful (especially in areas along the coast, where people are predominantly Muslim), and when possible tuck your hair under a scarf. Another useful clothing-related tip is to bring (or buy) a couple of sarongs, so to protect the skin from the intense sun, keep your legs and waist covered, and not sweat with heavy shirts or trousers.
Lost in Zanzibar • Open your eyes, live a Dream.
Open your eyes, live a Dream.
It would be wrong to travel to one of the most beautiful places in the world and to go back home without really knowing it. In Zanzibar, you only have to choose what to see. This is why Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort organized a diverse day trip program to be personalized to meet all guests’ needs.

Abercrombie & Kent: Luxury Travel, Zanzibar, Tanzania
Zanzibar is an island state within the United Republic of Tanzania. An archipelago made up of Zanzibar and Pemba Islands, and several islets. It's characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs, and the magic of the historic Stone Town. The coral reefs that surround the East Coast are rich in marine diversity, and make Zanzibar an ideal location for snorkelling and scuba diving. The white beaches make it an ideal location to relax after a safari. A trip to Jozani forest to see the Colobus monkeys and butterflies, or a spice tour on an old spice farm, and a walk through the tiny alleys of Stone Town make this island the perfect location for an exotic adventure.

Copper mines in Zambia - Straight through Africa | VPRO Documentary
Trade is better than aid for Africa. They say. In a journey through copper thieves and mine barons in the north of Zambia, Bram Vermeulen investigates the truth behind that slogan.
From a distance they look like ants, the hundreds of men digging holes in the rubble slopes of an old copper mine in Zambia. They are looking for copper ore in the walls of the enormous pit, without wearing helmets and without reinforcing the walls of their caves. Life-threatening, of course. But they find enough to live on. Is it legal, Bram asks. They laugh about it. No of course not. But the Chinese buyer does not really ask where they get their ore from. You just have to leave when the guards of the mine come.
How different is it in a huge copper mine in full operation. Huge machines drive off and on. Sirens sound regularly, followed by explosions. Here, 300,000 tons of stone are moved every day, and the copper ore from it yields a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. But it is a foreign company that raises that money. And if the productivity gets too low after about twenty years, the investors will move on.
From the air it is easy to see how far-reaching it all is. The mine takes big chores out of the country and turns huge plains into a kind of lunar landscape. But other changes are also visible. Houses, schools, a golf course. Prosperity, therefore, emphasizes a mine boss. Seven years ago this was still a dull provincial town, and now look!
A little further on the big changes are about to begin. There is a giant copper mine here, and for that an area of no less than four hundred square kilometers is expropriated. The new owners promise economic prosperity. Did not a city like Johannesburg also start out as a simple mine?
Naturally, people living in the area can not stay. They have worked the land for generations, but they can not show ownership documents. They have not been asked anything. They do get compensation for their houses, chickens and fruit trees, but not for the ground. Everything under the ground is state property, says a representative of the mining company, and that is what the state can rent out to us. Residents who do not want to leave are squatters who violate the law from that moment on. Even though they were born and lived there all their lives.
Those former residents are moved to neat new houses outside the area. With toilet, and bigger than the previous house, but without land to grow food. Some of them seem satisfied with that. Most do not. 'In Africa, land has sentimental value. You are no one without land, 'says one of them. So you're destroying these people. They will not pass on anything to the next generation.
Episode 6. Copper fever
For Africa, trade is better than aid, or so they say. On a journey to copper thieves and mine bosses, Bram Vermeulen investigates the truth behind the slogan.

10. The Cullinan Diamond (530 Carats)
The Cullinan Diamond was discovered in Gauteng, South Africa, in 1905. The large blue-white stone was just 30 feet from the surface and was extracted by a miner with a pocket knife. Easy peasy!! He took it to the office to have it measured, and it weighed 3,106.75 carats, about 621 grams, which made it by far the largest diamond to have been found at the time.
9. The Golden Jubilee (545.67 Carats)
Weighing in at 545.67 carats, the Golden Jubilee diamond is the largest cut and faceted diamond in the world. From images, it looks to be a golden orange color, but it's actually graded as a fancy yellow-brown stone.
8. Star of Adam (1,404 Carats)
In 2016, the world’s largest blue sapphire was unearthed in Sri Lanka, weighing in at a massive 1,404 Carats- which is the equivalent to almost 10 ounces. It came from a mine in the southern city of Ratnapura- a place that is known as the “city of gems” because of the large numbers of precious stones that are found there. Still, this was a major find- the Sri Lankan gem industry is thought to be worth about 103 million dollars annually, but this one was valued at more than 100 million dollars just by itself!!
7. The Rajaratna Ruby (2,475 Carats)
The Rajaratna ruby was first unveiled in 1986 and, at the time, was thought to be the largest ruby in the world. It's had an eventful history, and was thought to have originated in either one of India's two well-known ruby and sapphire regions during medieval times- Kalinga and Kalpur… or Mogok in Burma- places synonymous with discoveries of large gems.
6. The Pearl of Puerto (75 lb)
In 2016 the world’s largest pearl was found in the Philippines in the most unlikely of places- underneath a fisherman’s bed, where it had been for at least 10 years. According to the man, he had found it while out fishing when his boat’s anchor had become tangled with a giant clam, and he had to swim down to dislodge it. The pearl is one foot wide, 2.2 feet long, and weighs 75 pounds- which means it could be worth as much as 100 million dollars!
5. Sergio Diamond (3,167 Carats)
While it’s not worth as much as other diamonds that have been found, the Sergio Diamond is something quite special- and is thought to have been the largest rough diamond to have ever been discovered.
4. Olympic Australis (17,000 Carats)
Australia is undoubtedly the home of opals, and in 1956, at the ‘eight-mile' mining field in the town of Coober Pedy, miners found the largest ever to be discovered. It was dug from a cavity about 30 feet beneath the surface, and they couldn't believe their eyes when they realized what it was. Weighing a massive 17,000 carats, it's 11 inches long and 4.5 inches high.
3. 125West Ruby (18,696 Carats)
Rubies are a type of corundum mineral- given their name because of their deep, rich, red hue. They come in a variety of colors, though, with red ones always being called a ruby, and other types being called sapphires. They are the second hardest known minerals, after diamonds, so great care has to be taken when turning rough stones into polished pieces.
2. The American Golden Topaz (22,892 Carats)
Topaz is well known for its ability to form huge crystals, but the even the miners of Minas Gerais in Brazil were surprised in the early '80s when they dug up some particularly amazing stones.
1. The Bahia Emerald (1.7m Carats)
And of course no list of giant stones would be complete without this big guy! This is the biggest rough gemstone that has ever been found- the Bahia Emerald. It was found in a mine in Bahia, Brazil, in 2001, and is a rock that contains 9 crystals- one of which is the largest single emerald crystal to have ever been discovered. In total, the Bahia rock is thought to contain at least 1.7 million carats, and is estimated to be worth up to 400 million dollars.
