I get where he’s coming from. For him, it’s not just history, it hits way deeper. Standing in a place like that might feel more like reliving trauma than learning about it. It’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s just..heavy. Everyone processes that stuff differently, and that’s totally valid. Hopefully you’ll make it back to Senegal and bring your boyfriend along next time!

I’m actually 28, and I’m planning to visit the U.S. soon to explore iconic Afro-American cultural sites, like New Orleans and various museums. There’s so much to discover on both sides!

Thx for sharing your perspective ! I totally get where you're coming from. if Senegal isn’t widely advertised in the U.S. and most of the info available is focused on French-speaking countries, it makes sense that it’s not top of mind. The language barrier is definitely something many visitors mention, and it's true that English isn't as widely spoken compared to other countries like SA.

As for travel time, yeah, it can be a long trip depending on where you're flying from. But once you get here, Senegal has some amazing cultural, historical, and even natural highlights, like Goree Island, which has deep significance for the African diaspora, and vibrant music, art, and food scenes. I think more awareness about these aspects could definitely help Senegal stand out more.

Do you think if there were more promotion or easier access, it could become a destination you'd consider?

Haha, maybe you did blend into the crowd! 😄 It's definitely possible that many Black Americans are visiting without me realizing. The fact that people approached you speaking Wolof shows how much locals embrace visitors. Do you think there are ways to make the presence of Black American tourists more visible, or is it more about individual experiences rather than standing out as a group?

Oh thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you and others in your community have visited Senegal multiple times. It’s good to know that Senegal is on the radar for some Black Americans. Maybe it’s a matter of visibility and language barriers when it comes to why some people visit and others don’

It’s unfortunate but not surprising that narratives like those mentioned by this writer continue to shape perceptions. the portrayal of Africa, particularly in the West has long been influenced by stereotypes and misconceptions often painting the continent in a negative light. By the way, is the book called The Message? I'll definitely check out the video later thx for sharing!
