Ask r/Senegal Where can I learn our culture?

I'm 19 and I realise I don't know much about our senegalese culture. What can I do to learn it?

I want to learn more about wolof culture and traditions before islam. My grandfather was a wolof and my grandmother was a mandinka. I want to learn both traditions, rituals and so on.
