Hey, Lisa! Thanks, Sister!
Awesome interview with Ms. Antoinette💕. Glad to hear you proudly saying you’re from Waterhouse👏🏾👏🏾….can’t wait for Xavier to interview someone from Maverly too!💕❤️
Interesting info about Niger and definitely wonderful person representing Jamaica and it's culture
Hi Lennox! I am so glad you enjoyed the interview!
Antoinette, thank you very much for sharing Niger and your experience with us.
You are very welcome, Cecelia. Thanks for watching! Please share.
Truly articulate. A joy to hear someone so adept in the English language with the ability to select just the right word for which she is talking about or describing something. The black mountain against the stark blue sky sounds mesmerizing! Wow! GOD’S world is awesome!
@@cynthiawilkins2965, yes! God is wonderful and so are all his works. That includes us, right? Such a blessing to enjoy the goodness of God among the living! I am truly grateful.
Big up Xavier & Antoinette Excellent interview. You just confirmed what I said to everyone when they ask me where I'd like travel to or retire... I always say, "The earth is the LORD'S". Anywhere I go is home for me.
You are so right, my sister! God bless!
You are a pretty lady… yet so sophisticated… and humble. Lovely lady…🙌🙌🙌
Antoinette is very graceful. I felt very proud listing to her. Can I please have the name of the book? Thank you.
Dear Empress Makeba. It is so pleasing to be appreciated by you, sister. The title of the book is "Heirs and Pioneers. Rastafari return to Ethiopia".
Amazing lady I would just love to visit Niger. Her description of this country was fabulous, she compelled me to want to see this part of beautiful Africa. Bless her and her family.
Bless you, Sophie! All the best to your family, too. Thanks for your kind remarks!
Bless you, too, Sophie! all the time!
Wow ! I am blow away Xavier, Antoinette is such a " hidden " Gem very intelligent , with a humble and positive attitude ....
Dear Sharette, Xavier is quite the magician, isn't he? Thanks for watching the interview!
Excellent interview very intelligent and educated lady 👌
Thank you, Sandra!
Blessings XAVIER and all who tune in for another great interview.
Yes! Blessings, Diana David!
What an interview!!!! So rich and easy going. Filled with intelligence.
Tia Maria, what a sweet thing to say! Thank you! Xavier puts a lot of work into reaching our, following up, and all the rest.
I love listening to you… love the contrasts … Waterhouse/ UWI/ Doctorate/ world stage . You have done it all🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏😊💓
@@normacoote9856 , so much more to do, if God wills it!
Another job well executed bro Xavier very informative. Thank you Antonette(im definately getting that book). Mi so proud of mi island we deh every wey. Another great interview.(watching re-play this week).
Chile, we all ova! Please enjoy the book when you get! So much good in Jamaicans, at home and abroad.
She is very elegant and smart
Otis, you just made my day!
I am sure I watched Antoinette being interviewed by the late Ian Boyne on Profile.I was impressed then and equally impressed by her now.Such effortless grace , flowing elegance and articulateness
Maxamillion! You are right. I had the privilege of being invited for two interviews on "Profile" by Ian Boyne in 2016. Peter Espeut, a great friend of mine from way back, was instrumental in making it happen. Ian was a wonderful host. Thanks for your kind words, my brother.
Great interview. Well put together. Antoinette is a woman and a half. Good deeds.
Hi, Desna. Thanks for the acclamation! I will strive to deserve it!
Jamaican Rastas are married to the Ethiopian women but many times in Jamaica just have children with as many women as they will. Sorry that is not something that I respect. Black culture that I am to embrace is always destructive Lord!
Very intelligent and lovely. All good things to you my dear ❤️💙🙏
Thank you, Junia! such kind words. Xavier has a way of drawing out the good in you. He is so gifted! All the best to you, too! 🌸
I enjoyed the interview from start to end. It was quite descriptive and with such poise. Most Jamaicans are not timid people, but intelligent, forthright, and go-getters. I would love to visit Miger.
Niger
Hello Morley. So good to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed the interview. Xavier did such a wonderful job from start to finish!
@@antoinettetidjanialou285 Indeed, great interview. 👍
Yes, please part two with more views of Niger too. Thank you, I really enjoyed this.
Xavier, hear this! Bless up, Sister Jeanette Suzette Hopkin née Morrison! 😇
Niger should be among the happiest people on earth. Those who selects the nations of happiness never selects any place in Africa. I wonder why.
They elected Nigeria on one occasion. Not all Nigerians agreed. But it's not about comparison, is it? We just have to enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land where we're living. (Okay, I tweaked the quote, but all the same... :) )
10:43 Like the way it used to be in Jamaica, particularly in the country. Before this globalization and the individualistic thinking that most Jamaicans have adopted .
Yes, Sam! Good manners are half of what being human is about. Let's practice this more and more, man.
Great interview. Another Jamaican making us proud, living and thriving in Niger.
Good to have your feedback, Sandra. I hope that its is well with you.
True, like seriously a Jamaican in Niger. Because Niger is not an easy country. Mostly international aid workers or volunteers really stay in Niger. Blessings to her
Thanks for the blessings! Amen! 😂 It is not an easy country! But easy is overrated! Besides, where is the easy country, nowadays?
@@antoinettetidjanialou285 So true Antoinette. I lived in The Gambia for 4 years and traveled through parts of West Africa, beautiful people, and one of my best friends lives in Niger.
Yes, me sister! Princess to de world and back! cant wait to see you - Niger here I come!!!
Empress Sonia!!! You owe me a visit, that's for sure.😂 July, August or December are the best times. Bring Debbie with you!!!
Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. This really made my day because Niger is hardly talked about compared to, say, Ghana or Gambia. I am of "Nigerienne" descent, but was born and raised in Ghana. This makes me want to visit more. And thanks once more for your contribution to the homeland, Mrs. Antoinnete. Fofo🙏🏻
Fofo, Dawud! It is true that Niger is a very secret country, with so much beauty and goodness. Please come home more often, my brother.
@@antoinettetidjanialou285I'd definitely come home soon. Thanks for replying 😊🙏🏻
She's a lovely lady. Well accomplished
Proud Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🏿🙏🏿😍🥂🎊🎊
Yet another great interview. Is this the same Hillary Beckles the historian from Barbados? His work is exceptional.
Yes more than likely.
@@bandit4true , cool. 246 to the world
The same Hilary! Such a wonderful person and scholar.
Boom!!! Most definitely, we are never anonymous where ever we go.
Hiya, Andree! Being authentic is what matters. Isn't it? And pulling your weight?
@@antoinettetidjanialou285 Ikr...we are special
Hi everyone ☺️ Portlander in London inna the house on time today!
Hugs, Portlander in London!

I would totally get along with her being a green space lover with trees and plants all over the place.
Green friends! 🌺
@@antoinettetidjanialou285 Yes, I live in Miami, Florida and my yard is filled with all sorts plants and trees.
8:08 I could listen to her all day.
Sam Joseph, how sweet is that! Many thanks!
@@antoinettetidjanialou285 Blessings my sista! Thank YOU, for sharing your knowledge with us. I was soaking up every word.
So why are the Caribbean Rasta denied citizenship in Ethiopia?
They don’t respect their god. Plus they are racist.
Some crazy legal peculiarity. Very complicated and most unfortunate.

I love this woman!!!! I want some ackee seeds for Kenya

Many Jamaicans are of Benign heritage.
I think so also.
I am Jamaican; did my DNA;have Benign heritage.
Count me out. I don't like Africa or their culture. 😆
@@maureengolding2980, that's a wide sweep! Fifty odd countries. Hundreds of millions of people, yet unmet. Many, many, many cultures to explore.
