Know thyself: The Shaw Legacy
For every Shaw family member, this page is your gateway to understanding where you come from. Explore the rich tapestry of our history, uncover fascinating stories, and see how each generation has shaped who we are today. Reconnect with the past to strengthen your present.
As we journey through this thing called life we are always hit with a question, who are you, what is your purpose and where does your lineage starts. Through that very questioning of knowing oneself the Shaw committee came up with idea of doing a DNA test that would bring us closer to connect with the very place, people, and continent we come from. African ancestry provided a DNA test that traced our mother's, mother's mother's, way back to the continent of Africa, specifically Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, great news WOW!!! In Equatorial Guinea matches us with the bubi people of Biko Island, where our family genealogy begins. And also the Fulani and the Hausa people of Cameroon. There you have it!! Below is some information on the countries that birth our beloved grandmother (Black Gyal).

The heart of our legacy: Grandmothers' love
What makes the Shaw legacy truly unique is the unwavering love of our grandmothers. Their strength, wisdom, and boundless affection have woven the unbreakable thread that connects us all. This enduring love is the foundation of our family's joy and belonging.
This is Black Gyal corner store up in Grace Farm, were it all began, entrepreneurship!! Working independently with only the support from her children. Grandma's drive and determination proved to her children that working hard brings great reward. Through it all, that one act of self-determination, kind of hit deeper in a sense of bringing generational wealth for her family, or in other words an legacy. This is her Legacy the Shaw family Corner Store....
