The Gullah Geechee Link

The Gullah Geechee community originates from West African and Native American ancestors who were enslaved in the U.S. Lowcountry, preserving their cultural identity through a distinctive Creole language, traditional cuisine, artisanal crafts, music, and customs. Isolated on coastal plantations and waterways in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, their ancestral heritage has evolved uniquely. The Gullah Geechee Link aims to bridge cultural gaps for individuals of African descent disconnected from their deep-rooted heritage in language, Christian practices, hoodoo spirituality, wellness, and customs, underscoring the profound impact of Gullah Geechee culture on the formation of Southern identity and its ties to the Caribbean.
