This is a small side note, but I found out more about my Senegalese name! I am Mame Diarra.
Turns out I am kind of a big deal, Mame Diarra Bousso is the mother of Ahmadou Bamba, the founder and first marabout (religious leader) of the Mouride brotherhood. In Senegal, the Mouride brotherhood is the largest sect of Islam, so Ahmadou Bamba was quite powerful, and is still highly respected. Feel free to google me if you would like more details!
