"Tell My Story" is a song about growing up as a #BlackIndian in America from talented Music Artist Maimouna Youssef aka @mumufresh of African & Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek heritage. Shoutout to all Black Indians. We are still here! 💫 Maimouna Youssef is dedicated to the struggle for freedom and human rights. Her music exudes revolutionary consciousness, yearning for a new paradigm of social design where people consciously express the native roots that run through their blood. 💫 She has learned to allow the crimson river of her ancestral spirits to pass effortlessly through her voice, invoking rhythms and soul often neglected by mainstream popular music. 💫 Maimouna's ancestry from her father is American Indian and African, and from her mother is American Indian). Born Maimouna Kwayera OlaTu-Tu Holoka Hanan Hassan Youssef, she has been singing since before she could walk, and toured at a time when other kids were discovering Clearasil. 💫 "My mother, my grandmother, and myself formed a singing group called 3 Generations," she says. "I danced and performed at different tribal pow wows from about 5 years old until my grandmother passed away into the spirit world in 2000. We performed spirituals, escape songs, hymns, traditional native songs from various clans as well as original songs. We did songs teaching world peace and cultural development. I dont think i truly understood the value of those years at the times but i certainly do now as an adult deeply rooted in the knowledge of who i am..." 💫 #blackindians #afroindian #afroindians #blacknative #blacknatives #afronativeamerican #africannativeamerican #africannativeamericans #indigenous #blackisbeautiful #multiracial #biracial #mixedrace #wearestillhere #beautifulineveryshade #ILoveAncestry #AfroNative https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SMUb2gcnr/?igshid=1c98wmmyzpsum
