Hyphenated Black American

A person belonging to one of the three historic and culturally continuous subgroups within the Black American collective, each marked by a distinct heritage that diverges from the broader Black American culture: Black Louisiana Creoles, Gullah Geechee, and Northeast slave descendants.
There’s something especially exciting about the fact that all hyphenated Black Americans like Black Louisiana Creoles, Gullah Geechee, and Northeast slave descendants have their own distinct cuisine and language.

Hypernated 

A word used to describe what Celina does if she eats chocolate or has any kind of sweet or coffee. It’s derived from her Instagram handle hyper_hub.
Careful, don’t give Celina another brownie—she might get hypernated again!
