When Lorenzo Dow Turner, PhD, interviewed Gullah Geechees in coastal South Carolina and Georgia the 1930s to learn our language and culture, he also took photos of some of those he recorded. Here are a few portraits I found online.
Gullah Geechee people have asked and told you to stop making this a thing and you refuse. Your recipe is wrong. The facts on your website are wrong. You have audacity to change our recipe bc you think it needs to be brought closer to its roots? Who the Fuck are you?
The Gullah word of the day is “gumbo,” which means okra. The delicious stew has to contain the ingredient that it’s named after. The etymology for the word okra can be traced to the 1670s Nigerian Igbo word, “ọ́kụ̀rụ̀.”

Hi famlee! If G is for Gullah has been meaningful to you, please leave a review on Good Reads, Amazon, or wherever you buy and borrow your books! Tgenki!
The Gullah Geechee song “Kumbaya” is a plea to God for help. You may know it as “Kum Ba Yah,” “Come By Yuh,” or “Come By Here.” Once one of the most popular songs in the folk revival of the 20th century, it has more recently become the subject of misplaced scorn.
