    I’m so happy to see you both connect with Wodemaya and Miss Trudy. I was one of the Jamaicans on his page several years ago telling him to come visit JA and the rest of the Diaspora.
    But, seriously, we need to talk with governments about the obstacles people from Africa and the Caribbean face when traveling between countries.
    People from North America and Europe travel the globe 🌍 with ease.

Thanks to Asafa and wife for hosting you both in Jamaica, just love watching your vlogs from the continent, though I first watched you vlogging from China and was very pleased with your mastery of the mandarin twang(language)
      Keep going Wode, you have got lots more to conquer. Bless

    Hey my brodda Asafa I am a fellow Jamaican living in the US these are reason why they are making it hard for us indigenous people to travel to other countries especially to the countries where other indigenous people live is because the powers that be have to keep us apart from each other so we don’t come together collectively as a people and unite they know that if we are unite and become a cohesive unit we will be a force to be recon with and be more powerful than an other people here they know who we are it’s time for us to know who we are.

    Excellent reasoning because it wasn't really an interview it was friends talking which is even better and give thanks to Wode Maya for is incite into life he is a great inspiration for someone so young; he is a credit to his father and he would be very proud of where his vision has taken him and on how it has made him grow as a MAN. Asafa and Alyshia you guys are like relationship goals. You don't make it all look perfect as a family and a couple you show the real deal as much as you possibly can, that is why you have so much respect. ❤

I would have never thought, or imagine blacks in " black countries" are being racist in this age, even in the Caribbean. It shows there is much to be done to opening peoples eyes and perspectives and highlighting truth, and oneness in humanity regardless of our place of birth, and the color of our skin, eyes etc... Great job Mr and Mrs Powell.

    This was a really, really nice video. WM is an interesting guy, for sure. I love what he does on uniting Africa and Africans (as in people of African descent) around the world. He's straightforward and I like that. I think his dad would be so, so proud of him, but this is just the beginning. I feel like he is going to go huge and I hope that when (not if) he does, he stays the same, humble guy he's always been.
    Btw, I love it when Alysha's Ghanaian accent comes out. And I really LOVED her "I am Alysha" comment - absolutely perfect. I really can't wait for the video with Ms Trudy. Well done, everyone. Fantastic work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    Wode Maya is wise. Love is an emotion ad that alone cannot sustain a marriage in long term. Having something that draws you to your spouse or brings a spark in you is the way to go. That is why some say marry your friend in that case when the ‘lovey dovey’ feeling goes down something that cannot be broken holds you together that is true love and friendship. Married for a decade and half and l can say you need more than mere love to stay in marriage.
