Customer Reviews
Love. Love. Love.
Vickie Remoe is engaging, brilliant and brings on highly fascinating guests to the show. As a Sierra Leonean living in the diaspora, this show connects me to home and my heritage. Even if you’re not from Sierra Leone, you could gain valuable knowledge about this country’s special history and culture.
Thanks for the Mandingo-Temne Link Episode
My great-grandmother on my mother’s side was Mandingo. I was told by an uncle that the Temnes fought with some of the Mandingos who moved into SL from Guinea some hundreds of years ago.
Amazing
Loooooove ❤️
So much insight I had NO IDEA about despite being Krio myself 😭. Grew up in the states so loving all this info and it’s inspired me to do some reading on my own. Hopefully one day a reading list can be curated for furthering reading. Please keep going ! ✨
