Living my best life in the Dominican Republic and the African Diaspora at large๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฅฐ. Join me on my African Diaspora trip to Dominican Republic, Haiti, and other African Diaspora countries: www.africandiasporatrip.com

I love Africa and the African Diaspora. Dominican Republic is the first home of Africans in the Americas and the first place where the slave revolt took place. Without knowing all these interesting facts, my life journey led me to this country effortlessly. I'm one of the few original Africans that many Dominicans and other people in the African Diaspora meet, interact with, and get to know. Africa has contributed so much to the world through her rich culture, rich mineral resources, and her genetically strong, talented, and hardworking people. I believe Africa is the future.

I am Angolan๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ด born, by Namibian๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฆ parents, raised in England๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง & the USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, and "adopted" by Dominicans๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด.

As a Healthcare Professional, with many years of experience in providing all types of health, wellness and fitness services to people from all backgrounds and all walks of life, I take pride in seeing people well and happy ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ˜.

Health (mind, body and soul), is the real wealth. May we prioritize taking care of our mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, social etc., health - basically all dimensions of wellness. They are equally important because they work together, in equilibrium, to help you live your best life. For example, don't just focus on your body alone, while neglecting your mental and emotional health because you will be out of balance and won't function optimally. All dimensions of wellness (google them) work hand in hand to help you live your best life.

Cheers to a healthier life in 2026 and for many years to come... ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

African Dominican ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Dominican Republic Culture

Ladies and gentlemen ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ: These pictures ๐Ÿ“ธ basically sum up the successful @africandiasporatrip and @bachatatrip to the beautiful Dominican Republic, the very FIRST HOME OF AFRICANS in the Americas. On this trip, we celebrated and immersed in the roots, heritage and culture of the Dominican Republic and Africa.

It was amazing that a few weeks after I launched the African Diaspora Trip to Dominican Republic, @afronation / @afronation.us announced that they will host their first mega event in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for the very first time ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด. My mind was blown at how God aligned everything. First African Diaspora Trip to Dominican Republic around the same time as the first Afro Nation event in Punta Cana, DominicanRepublic. See how God works!!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜

For those of you who have never heard of Afro Nation, check out their Instagram page and Google them. Every person of African heritage should attend Afro Nation at least once in their lifetime. This was my first time attending. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be part of history, when a MAJOR African Diaspora event took place in Dominican Republic for the first time ever!

Stay tuned for more videos and photos from the @africandiasporatrip @bachatatrip and Afro Nation. My heart is TRULY FULL! Glory be to God who gives the VISION/MISSION, and who makes ALL THINGS POSSIBLE and BEAUTIFUL in their appointmented time. Thank you Papa God ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ โœจ๏ธ ๐Ÿฅฐ.

African Dominican ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Dominican Republic Culture

It was an honor to meet and interview two of the most popular and legendary Dominican women, @cheddyg and Enerolisa Nunez of Los Congos (she's not on Instagram), during the African Diaspora Trip to Dominican Republic. For many years, these beautiful women have played an important role in maintaining and preserving the true Dominican identity by raising awareness through culture, roots, and heritage initiatives.

Please stay tuned for when I upload their interviews. In the meantime , please research them and learn more about their work. They are a big deal in the Dominican Republic.

Women play an important role in preserving culture. Women are the primary custodians and transmitters of traditions, languages, and skills through oral storytelling, traditional arts and crafts, preparing cultural cuisine, and leading community rituals and celebrations.

To maintain identity and for the continuity of culture and heritage for many generations to come, it is imperative that we support women's roles in cultural preservation.

African Dominican ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Dominican Republic Culture

Celebrating Dominican culture in the Washington, DC area ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด at the Dominican Culture Fest. It's always a fun event to attend ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅฐ.

The beautiful thing about living in the Washington, DC area, the beautiful DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) is that we are so exposed to so many different and beautiful world cultures. It's literally where the world comes to meet and where all nationalities thrive in joy, success, and acceptance of the different people around them. This area has been my beloved home since 1996. This is where I met my first Dominicans.... This is where I learned about the Dominican Republic for the first time, and now the rest is history..... ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฅฐ.

I am a proud and passionate African, celebrating and appreciating the Dominican culture, which is deeply rooted in African roots and heritage. Dominicans are family, my cousins, and the Dominican Republic is also my other home ๐Ÿคฉ.

African Dominican ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Dominican Republic Culture

In my beautiful city of Washington, DC ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ... These pictures are from Day 1 of participating in the first ever @fiestadc latin dance competition. Fiesta DC is the USA #1 Latin Dance event. Through my dance fashion statement, I represented the Dominican Republic, @authenticbachata, and the motherland, Africa - the mother of all Afro-Latino dance rythms. We danced up and down the streets for 6 hours non-stop. My feet hurt, but the experience was so rewarding. I was doing what I love, networking, and meeting new people with the same passions and interests as me.

Stay tuned for videos and more pictures ๐Ÿ“ธ. Life is about new experiences, learning every day, meeting new people, and creating beautiful memories โœจ๏ธ. I'm so grateful for the diverse world that I'm exposed to and proudly live in. I can be put in any culture, and I will fit right in instantly because I'm very adaptable to any environment.... ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ.

African Dominican ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Dominican Republic Culture

It was an honor to be invited to participate in the Dominican Parade in Washington, DC. I also participated in a two day, first ever Fiesta DC Latin dance contest as one of the people representing the Dominican Republic. It was truly a fun and rewarding experience. I met wonderful people and learned a lot about different Afro-Latino cultures. The highlight country for this year's Fiesta DC was Honduras ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ณ, where we celebrated the Garifuna people of Honduras and danced to their beautiful afro rythms of Punta (music and dance). Wherever there's a celebration of African roots and heritage, you will see me there supporting my people and giving them a voice in any way that I can ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒ. Please stay tuned for more videos... My heart is full โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ.

For inquiring minds: I'm a full blooded African. Born in Angola. My parents are from Namibia, and they also have Angolan roots/blood. Namibia and Angola are neighboring countries. I spent most of my life living outside Africa, in African Diaspora countries (USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ and England ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง) where I met a lot of people of African heritage, aka afro descendants ๐Ÿ™.
