WHO IS SHE?
HI. My name is Yayra. Feel free to call me Ya-ya! This here is my channel, I CUBED: INTERESTED, INFORMED, INSPIRED. It's the place for encouragement, inspiration, information and entertainment all in one neat package. The place for overworked and underpaid millennials like myself for whom basic, run-of-the-mill, preachy, self-help advice just doesn't cut it! Social commentary on topics I find interesting, that may also be trendy, I've got them. Fresh new perspectives on topics generally considered overly debated, I've got those too. Served up with wit, bluntness and compassion. And what sort of tribe leader would I be if I don't discuss issues that impact our lives on a daily basis like money, stress or procrastination? Also documenting some of my daily activities in 'A Day in the life' style vlogs as well as recent trips I took are also a given on this channel. So if these are the sorts of things you're into, join me EVERY TUESDAY by SUBSCRIBING!

So glad this video is a hit. Here is another:czcams.com/video/if8GgoqR4Vs/video.html
Am a Kenyan and dating Cameroon man , glad I came across these video
I'm cameroon (Bantu) and french! Great video!
Cameroon 🇨🇲 🇨🇲 🇨🇲 always Win
I’m from Cameroon and I gotta say u have a powerful voice which is very commanding in a positive way. Very clear! I’m shocked as to how white parents don’t whoop their kids! Baffling
COMEDYLAKE CHANNEL haha everyone has different ways of raising their kids
Lotsa kids are ruined by lazy parenting, spoiled parents tend to raise spoiled kids.
you are not so right when you are talking about white parents ......best regards from france ....
thank you so much for your point of vue about your country .......best regards from france ....
You’re welcome!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes I love the unannounced guests. When an old friend stops by and you catch up on old times. That's why parents always wanted us to keep the place tidy
Precisely lol
Wow I love this I'm a Cameroonian and I'll love to see more of this 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Absolutely!! I’m working on more Cameroon content so stay tuned. In the meantime I have other recent Cameroon videos you can check out :)
Just found out my lineage is from Cameroon by way of #africanancestry
Researching information of The Masa, Mafa, Kotoko people, any info would be so helpful.
That’s so cool! I’m glad you found out your lineage. We maybe distant cousins lol The masa, Kotoko and mafa people seem to be primarily from Northern Cameroon and parts of Chad. You know, I had never heard of them surprisingly. I lived in the capital Yaounde which is at the center of the country. And so we learned more about the tribes in our provinces and tribes in neighboring provinces. Not so much the ones far from us. I'm more familiar with the Hausa and Fulani people from the North. Hope it helps
Same reason I'm here. I'm so happy to learn of my ancestors and of our people. The feeling of learning what was stripped from us living in America.
My result was the Masa people. I can't find a lot of info though 😕
Thanks for the post and mentioning the research group... I was in the Far North (Peace Corps) and am familiar with the Masa, Mafa, and Kotoko people. I didn't know any DNA ancestry test identified possible tribes.
The Masa are around Yaugau, the Mafa near Mokolo and the Kotoko people around Lake Chad. Its an interesting region, hot and dusty, except for the summer when its a swamp. Too dangerous to visit right now due to Boko Haram.
The area is remote and very poor in comparison with most of Cameroon. You can find a surprising amount of info on Wiki.
I love your content thank you
I appreciate that!
Wow🎉
Prosper my Cameroon sister!💞 #Tikar
This is very good. My Ex wife is Guineana but she was born in CM Yaounde. Same for her 1st & 2nd kids. I also dated a CM lady from Mamfe. Africa is all on custom something we do not follow in the US.
I was very impress when in CM and speaking to the elders and how the younger always respectiveful.
And the foods are best for W.Central Africa your guy cook similar to us people from Louisiana might be related to the Fernch influence.
The foods are definitely the best. Hands down
The auntie and uncle thing for teachers came later. In the 80s, it was 'please Sir/Madam' lol
Hey familyyy!!! I love you guys already.
Most of these practices were common in the midwest in the old days, now people have become very rude. We need curtesy to come back.
You have a popping personality Yaya! And you have a very rich voice
Thank you so much ☺️
Keep it up
interesting ❤️
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 WOW! ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
I grew up in America but the Central West African culture and customs were definitely enforced in our communities. Because I have lived in America so long I have adopted a lot of their behaviors and customs. 😀
Same
Exactly!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I be plan to visit soon. Thank you !!
Enjoy the trip!
Thanks
Waow this was swift and interesting
Thank you!
Hi I just got AncestryDNA results and I’ve been trying to make sense of all this but I’m Cameroon , Congo , western Bantu people’s 😩 thanks for this video ❤️ I’m just trying to find my family .. and learn more about my ancestors
That’s amazing!! And you’re so welcome!! We could be distant cousins :)
Cameroom Congo and Western Bantu peoples is my highest percentage of African DNA also. I'm curious.
Whats your percentage?
@@autobotdiva9268 Yes. U and Majestic Shay
@@autobotdiva9268 When you say narrowing down, do you mean how Ancestry updates and the results get more accurate?
You’re so interesting to watch!
Thank you so much
Nice
My ancestry is the Tikar tribe of Cameron
You are so pretty
Thank you!
Wow! Talking to my BF last night, who is Cameroon and I made a mental note to ask him why he doesn't look at me while I am talking. 😂😂😂
lol
Yes girl; very similar to Zimbabwe.... except for the eye contact... for us it was more or.... kids are meant to be seen and not heard... so we didn’t really have a voice when it came to family issues. It’s surprising; here in the US, how kids are asked for their opinion on family matters....
Success First exactly children were not to meddle in adult family issues
That’s only with the younger generation. Growing up in the American South in the 80’s and 90’s, children weren’t allowed to have opinions on adult issues.
Nice videos. Do you have any merchs from Cameroon?
Thanks. I do not unfortunately but if it’s a popular request, I’ll look into getting some merch
@@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED Can we have some form of collaboration? I am doing some voluntary work to help my country. I am still talking to some book authors who might help both ways.
@@susanca8443 sure! Here’s my email yayrahiamey@yahoo.com
You look just like my cousin Keisha ❤️❤️❤️
Perhaps we're all related :)
That eye-contact thing…. It took me many years to change it. Also I used to call everyone who potentially could be my parents papa or mama. Are you from Limbe?
Yes definitely took me a while to unlearn lol. I was born and grew up in Yaoundé
@@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED Yaoundé is a nice place. Surrounded by nature!
How I interesting not to use the left hand to receive yet the right and being forced to....is that due to colonization?
Interesting thought! Never thought about that
@@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED there's no part of what I hear about Africa which doesn't allow me to question how colonization impacted my people....it's the birthplace of me, my people, my lineage..the berlin conference was held in punishment, to denounce, to strip, and alter...with the thought of my people being viewed as animalistic....that's very interesting...the Continent civilized the world so why wouldn't the lesser force change on those who taught them in order to look better than?
My nephew married a young girl who came to the states from Cameroon at 14.They are expecting their first child...a girl.Are there specific customs that are done in your country that may be different from here regarding celebrating the birth? Also,how are children usually named? Thank you.
Congratulations to them both! That’s a great question. With Cameroon having a variety of ethnic groups and what not, I can’t say there is one set way of naming children. One of my classmates in secondary school had five names -a first and a last name and three middle names. My mom on the other hand named me and my brother names that she believed won’t negatively affect us through out life. My first name means blessing. My middle name is my grandmother’s on my mother’s side and then my last name which is my dad’s.
Make a party were all family members come to welcome the child home we call it "Born House"😂😂
Good video but i think the better title is customs and social practices. Culture is a very broad concept.
Fair enough..I'll adjust the title pronto
The right hand thing possibly is influence from the Muslim tradition
I’m not sure. It could very well be
I read on some website that there were upwards of 600 languages in Cameroon including some speakers of Swahili…is that true? I mean I know there’s a lot of languages in Cameroon but I thought Swahili was an East African language.
Swahili is East African. The number of languages spoken are in the hundreds, I don’t know about 600 though. I learned it was over 200 in school but that could have changed too
@@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED do you speak French?
Everything you said is the same in cultures here in Uganda
Yes all African cultures are similar, interrelated
Im Cameroonian and Nigerian but I was born in the US, we can drop by our families or friends houses any time. Just depends on the type of people you're dealing with. 😂❤
Good point.
Great Video👍💯 check out Cameroon artist Chyna dain🔥
Hi madam
Hi 👋🏾
@@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED I like you so much
I need your contact no what's up no
My nick name is yaya 🥺🇨🇲🇨🇲❤️
Hi name sake :)
What does it mean?
@@TheShanieB In Congo, yaya means big brother or big sister, its like a term of respect
@@TheShanieB Yaya is my abbreviated name. The full name is Yayra which means blessing. It's Ewe which is spoken in Ghana. My dad is from Ghana.
But @LDSMissionaryGear is also right.
Whoops.....she is not 14 NOW LOL......
I understood what you meant lol
I have lot of African 1st gen immigrant friends that I have no fucking clue about the differences in culture. We Americans do tend to be loud, obnoxious, and *very* assertive in comparison to European and African cultures. I didn't know it was taboo to use the left hand - a little too superstitious for my taste.
I do like the American assertiveness and openness
