Our journey to Guinée from JFK via Ethiopian Airlines with a stop in Abidjan. Ethiopian Airlines Ethiopian Airlines will definitely be my 1st choice when traveling to Guinée(9 hrs from JFK to Abidjan with a 2 hr layover then a 2 hr flight from Abidjan to Conakry)...the flights were reasonably priced, the fight attendants were hospitable, the layover was brief (only 2 hrs in Abidjan), the meals and beverages were satisfying and there were no hidden luggage fees like what I encountered on Air Maroc.

Although we were only there for 2 weeks, our time was well spent between Dubreka and the village on Boke' . We are welcomed home by my adoptive son and his group with a traditional dundunba with the blessings of mother nature's rain showers and received with love.

In the village was a real life Kirikou movie. The hut we slept in, the children playing and washing clothes at the river, the women cooking Fireside, the men working and preparing attaya. We drank kankaliba, the long life tea everyday and bathed in fresh rainwater. Solar powered flashlights when the sun went down no street lights or electricity running everywhere in the village...unplugged, off the grid livity up to the time. Palm kernals reaped for fresh palm oil used in the sauces we ate with rice (bande). The people are Landouma ethnic group although they are mostly speaking Sousou.

Dubreka and Coyah are located just on the outskirts of Conakry with mountains and rivers cool breezes and less hustle and bustle of the crowded city life. The roads are messed up everywhere still and I doubt if any cars have shocks lol. A beautiful sight to behold the daily lives of the people of this country. The 1st African country to say No when all other said Yes in 1958 choosing complete sovereignty instead of being slaves to the French. True warriors...resilience lives here!

Soon see you again~

While at home in Guinée with my adopted family in Boke' I sipped this magical medicinal tea from sun up to sun down. It grows all about the place and was able to carry some forwad 🌿.
Read below about the health benefits

Kankaliba (most commonly spelled kinkeliba or kinkéliba) is a traditional West African herbal tea made from the leaves of the Combretum micranthum shrub. Native to the West African Sahel and savannah regions—including Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso—it is widely celebrated across regional cultures as the ["long life tea"](https://www.lesjardinsdaissa.com/en/blogs/news/the-benefits-of-kinkeliba-leaves-an-unknown-treasure-of-traditional-medicine).
🌿 Traditional Uses & Cultural Significance

* Breaking the Fast: It is highly popular among West African Muslims during Ramadan to safely and smoothly break their daily fasts.
* Daily Beverage: Kankaliba is a staple breakfast or post-meal drink. It features a pleasant, woody, and earthy flavor profile.
* Regional Names: Depending on the local dialect, it is also known as sekhew (Wolof), ŋɔlɔbɛ (Bambara), dutè, or seh-haw.
*

✨ Key Health Benefits
Because it is completely caffeine-free, it can be consumed at any point during the day to target various aspects of wellness:

* Liver Support & Detoxification: It acts as a powerful traditional remedy to stimulate liver function and help flush out cellular toxins.
* Digestion Aid: Kankaliba helps alleviate gastrointestinal problems, cramping, vomiting, and overall digestive distress.
* Natural Diuretic: It promotes fluid balance and urination, which supports blood pressure regulation and helps reduce water retention.
* Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant: The leaves are packed with natural compounds that assist in cellular protection and soothe bodily pain or inflammation.
*

☕ How It Is Prepared
To prepare a traditional infusion, simply take dried kankaliba leaves or branches and boil them in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. The resulting brew yields a beautiful light-to-dark greenish-brown or amber color. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, and many enthusiasts prefer to add a squeeze of fresh lemon or milk to enhance its natural flavor.

Family heirlooms arrived💎
My mom sente her sterling silver bracelets that she stared collecting when I was 4 yrs old...they are 50 yrs old and I am so honored to be wearing them today until✨️✨️✨️✨️.

We lived in Los Angeles off Pico and West Blvd at the time and the shop was owned by a Sistar that would buy merchandise from Africa directly and offered layaway to her customers. I remember hearing clinking and clanking sounds of these bracelets throughout my childhood.

My mom is the 1st revolutionary woman I have ever met and to this day, she never ceases to amaze me👑. I give thanks for you.

Tell me what you see on these bracelets 💎
