The Journey Begins! Yaaaayyyy!!!

Thanks for joining me! And welcome to ALL THINGS AFRICA!

AFRICA IS HOME TO THE DIASPORA …

Thank you again for stopping by my blog! I am super excited that you decided to take the time to read my blog and I am ecstatic about the journey I am about to start at this phase of my life.

ALL THINGS AFRICA will involve my journey to the continent and all of the beauty that it entails; from the travels, the people, the food, the culture, the clothes, the jewelry, the journey … all things Africa.

Through this blog, I will attempt (with the help of some close brothers/sisters) bring to light the true essence of AFRICA; the truth about “The Motherland.”

AFRICA is like no other continent on the face of this earth. It is rich, it is mysterious, it is beautiful, it is resourceful, it is unique and it is the backbone of the world … it is AFRICA.

And so, the journey begins … shall we?

Until next time … may our Ancestors continue to be with us.

I am Demetra Graham Driskell, an African woman born and raised in the United States of America. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and I have worked in the field of Social Services for over twenty years. I am also a Teacher of Social Studies; African American History in the State of Florida. I am a Mother of three young adults, a Grandmother of two precious Granddaughters and now a Blogger. It is my dream and goal to bring my story of my personal journey to the continent of Africa, raw and uncut to those in the diaspora that have eyes to see, ears to hear and a mind to absorb the truth about this massive and mysterious continent. Innately, I know this story must be told; it must be documented from beginning to end. And so, as I like to say, the journey begins.
