A Gullah Geechee spiritual

“Come by here.”

Kumbaya is a Gullah Geechee song and phrase—not a made-up word for vague togetherness. The earliest known recording of Come By Here was made in 1926 by Henry Wylie, a Gullah Geechee singer in coastal Georgia, and is preserved by the Library of Congress.

In Gullah / Sea Islands Creole, “here” is pronounced “yah,” so “come by here” becomes “come by yah”—the phrase that came to be written as Kumbaya. In the spiritual, the singer is asking God to come near when somebody is hurting, sick, dying, or in trouble: to show up when help is needed.

That is the meaning we carry forward: when you need somewhere to go, come by here.

About Kumbaya

Rooted in culture. Built for everyday people.

Kumbaya was built around a simple idea: people deserve support that feels human. Whether somebody needs papers served, help finding resources, or wellness care, the experience should be clear, respectful, and easier to understand.

Gullah Geechee culture is living culture.

Gullah Geechee communities developed along the southeastern Atlantic coast, especially in the coastal Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. The culture carries strong West and Central African continuities that can be seen in language, foodways, storytelling, music and spiritual traditions, crafts such as sweetgrass basketry, and relationships to coastal land and water.

Gullah is an English-based creole language shaped by contact among speakers of many African languages and English. For generations it was dismissed by outsiders as “bad English.” Today, researchers, cultural institutions, and Gullah Geechee communities recognize it as a distinct creole language with its own history, patterns, and cultural importance. Keeping the language visible matters because language carries memory: family sayings, humor, worldview, rhythm, history, and ways of understanding community.

What shows up in the Kumbaya brand

  • Gullah Creole slogans and everyday language
  • Coastal, marsh, river, path, and land imagery
  • Warm earth tones alongside deep greens, teals, golds, and indigo-inspired color
  • References to movement, community, care, and finding a way through
  • A commitment to keeping cultural references specific, researched, and respectful

What Kumbaya is trying to feel like

Not a courthouse portal. Not a hospital hallway. Not a confusing agency website. Kumbaya should feel like somebody competent answered the phone, explained what happens next, and actually helped you get there.

The three divisions are different, but the promise is the same: clear support, fewer unnecessary barriers, and respect for the person on the other side of the paperwork.

Meet the founder

Daria Porter, AMFT, MA is the founder of Kumbaya. Their professional background is in mental health and community-centered support, and the larger Kumbaya model is being designed to bring practical services, resource navigation, and wellness together without making people feel like they need a dictionary to ask for help.

Daria is building Kumbaya as a long-term organization — not just a one-person side business. The plan is to develop clear systems, train staff, create jobs, and eventually have teams carrying out day-to-day process serving, navigation, operations, and support work.
