About Us.

WEBE GEECHI ORIGINATED FROM DESCENTS OF SLAVES THAT WERE CAPTURE FROM LOCATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND SOLD AT MARKETS THAT HAD MAIN HUBS IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA. AMONG MANY OTHER NAMES THESE SLAVES WERE ALSO REFERRED TO AS "BLACK GOLD" DUE TO THERE WORTH FOR THE PURCHASER. MOST OF THESE GEECHI PEOPLE SPECIALIZED IN GROWING AND HARVESTING RICE AND COTTON WHICH  WITH SLAVERY MAY HAVE SINGLE HANDEDLY CREATED AMERICA. MOST DESCENDANTS OF THE ORIGINAL GEECHIE/ GULLAH PEOPLE SPEAK A STRONG DIALECT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MIX OF JAMAICAN, ENGLISH AND PIG LATIN. THE ORIGIN OF THE LANGUAGE WAS ACTUALLY THAT OF A CODE LANGUAGE THAT WAS FORMED THROUGH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CAPTURED SLAVES OF DIFFERENT SOUTH AFRICAN TRIBES TO COMMUNICATE TOGETHER AND STAY HIDDEN FROM THE MASTER. THEREFORE WEBE GEECHI FOCUSES ON THE AWARENESS OF THIS LOST AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE THROUGH RELEVANT FASHIONS, EVENTS, ART, MUSIC.
