Diaspora Ties to Biafra: Carol Mundey Shares Touching Family Story on IPOB Pride
By: The Biafra Sun News Desk
In a heartfelt post on social media, prominent Biafran supporter Carol Mundey shared a touching reflection about her son’s deep connection to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and his ancestral roots. The post, made on Mundey’s Facebook page, highlighted how her youngest son, Kenyon, proudly identifies as both a Biafran and a St. Lucian, showcasing the bond between Biafra and the African diaspora.
Mundey’s son, during IPOB meetings, would proudly introduce himself, saying, "I'm Kenyon, I'm from Barre Denis, St. Lucia, and I'm a Biafran." The pride stems from his father's lineage, as his great-great-grandparents were taken from the Bight of Biafra to St. Lucia on a French slave ship, connecting him directly to the painful history of the transatlantic slave trade.
Carol Mundey’s post also resonates with many in the diaspora who continue to hold onto their Biafran identity, despite the physical distance. She asked her followers if they, too, were proud Biafrans, affirming a common sense of identity and unity within the IPOB community.
Her words, tagged with the hashtags #IPOB, #OneFamily, and #NnamdiKanu, echo the commitment of many in the diaspora to the ongoing Biafran cause, led by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. It underscores the global reach of the movement, which continues to connect generations of descendants of Biafra's people, wherever they may be.
As the Biafran struggle continues, stories like Mundey’s remind supporters of the deep-seated historical ties and the shared sense of belonging that transcends national borders.
For many, Biafra is not just a physical homeland, but a symbol of identity, pride, and resilience.
