Moving from Jamaica over 30 years. Not been ungrateful if i have my life to live again i would never trade my country to build another. I love Jamaica. It's where my heart beats. Can't wait to be back permanently.
So true. But hindsight is 20/20 they say. I am in total agreement with you. I am moving back soon too. I so wish that I could convince Jamaicans who are in a position to help their own people, to just stay in Jamaica but travel for the experience. I always remember the words of President Kennedy (JFK) who said to the American people "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." If any of our Jamaican Prime Ministers would say that to the Jamaican people, they would get a proper telling off. There are some Jamaicans who will go and live in run-down crime ridden communities in America and Canada and seem quite comfortable, yet scream about crime in Jamaica. It is totally oblivious to so many Jamaicans how wonderful Jamaica is; we have it all, and if we are not careful we are going to lose it all to people who see the potential of my beautiful country and are choosing to live in Jamaica.
I have been a mocha subscriber since her first vlog in ja..i remember giving her tips on how to find somewhere to live. Glad she's finally settled into life in my beautiful country..one love 🇯🇲❤️
@@mdl9096 I hear you MDL....I went to Jamaica for the very first time in 2007 and was hooked. The beauty, the people, the culture, the food and the overall vibe. I was born and raised in small town rural country US about 1 1/2 hour south of Atlanta. I try my best to visit Jamaica at least once a year. You are correct when you say 'some' Jamaicans that move to crime riddled Amerikka talk about how bad Jamaica is....all countries have their problems, but in the US, there are added problems because of our culture and history. When I retire in a couple of years I plan to spend at least 30-60 days each year in Jamaica. I have been all over the island and love it - From Kingston to Mobay to Ochi down to Port Antonio. I know about Oracabessa and Browns Town. One of my favorite hotels in Ochi is Silver Seas, which "aged" but its location and the serenity of staying their is unbeatable. Love Jamaica Peace and Blessings
Huge fan of Mocha so really enjoyed seeing her on your channel. I hope she continues to thrive in Jamaica. I’m seriously considering moving there from the U.S. My Jamaican family is doing just fine despite all the negative news coming out of Jamaica.
Great job! I’m in the expat/repat group. Jamaicans want what the US has and we want what Jamaicans have. Jamaica is blessed and a wonderful place to live or visit.
We have saying in Jamaica about this in Patwah. We say wanty wanty nuh getty an getty getty nuh wanty. In English it means people want the same things some don't get it and are disappointed and the one who gets it don't appreciate it.
Jamaicans don't want what US have..we only move for economic reasons..once we move we soon realize the paradise Jamaica is..Jamaicans also immigrate to all countries where the money is stronger, not just US.
We ready! Love listening to this lady, about to get my land and house and live my Jamaican life! I’m Jamerican and live in the American South so I feel her!
I am glad you did that interview with Mocha ! I love the way she immerse herself into the culture and not being critical of others culture and just blended in ! It doesn’t matter where you go in this world ,to fit into others culture ,you have to make yourself fit in and Jamaica is no different!
Yes, all you hypocrites and slackness endorsers! are HAPPY that she did NOT call out Jamaica for what it really is!! Hell on earth!! If you notice most of you can only love it from a distance, or among those who are lucky enough not to be caught in the fire pit of s.h.i.t that it operates on. Mocha KNEW if she spoke FRANKLY the Jamaican SHARKS would come out. I commend her for SURVIVING JAMAICA and trying to make the best of it. Other persons who migrate from the US eslewhere were all smiles, for the first few months poor Mocha was faced with HURDLES after HURDLES due to lazy and incompetent complacent people, who are always on the edge of their seat to MAKE EXCUSES for the DEPLORABLE state of Jamaica and CUSS honest people for speaking the truth. How the h#LL can minimum wage by little over $7,000 per week, yet a decent one bedroom rental in Jamaica is over $100,000.00, DO THE MATH!! Throp and others were lucky enough not to be born on that side of the fence, so they can speak diplomatically with ALL SMILES and a shrug of the shoulder here and there. Jamaica is an open air PRISON with Athletes and Musicians. Total Brain Drain....Hundreds of thousands overseas peaking back through COMPUTER SCREENS. If you think you've seen anything yet regarding crime, WATCH!! Milliion dollar investments that most locals have to walk by and DREAM ABOUT will NEVER change the system for the better. I'm investing in a training center and I ask myself what's the point? besides giving back? With all the schools and churches, NOTHING has improved. They system is structured for FAILURE. Yes, there's the affluent cluster, but the disparity is WIDE. Jamaica is a rotten sore with pretty band-aid to deceive. I feel utterly ashamed that my achievements were solely possible because I LEFT Jamaica, although while in Jamaica, I was a young scholar with various academic scholarships, it was POINTLESS. Degenerate minds run the country.
Good to see this young lady settling down in Jamaica 🇯🇲 did see her channel a few times, I am a Jamaican living in California I am back and forth with my air bnb investment in negril the difference with people from both countries an American black or white will tell you straight off the bat to go back to your country if there should be an argument or disagreement , it's not common for a Jamaican to tell you that as a foreigner, we were always known to be kind to visitors, but we appreciate you with open arms one love Jamaica stay safe !!
Had enough of UK and the 9 to 5 control system. I was born here, my husband of 9 years is Jamaican. Cost of living here is through the roof. Come October, it will be having to choose between heating and eating. Can't wait another 11 years for pension so sold up and moving to Westmoreland the end of September. Family and friends think we're taking a big risk but it's one of those things that if we don't do what's in our heart, we may live to regret it. I absolutely love Jamaica and looking forward to natural, healthy living in the countryside. Jamaica is so blessed
Thanks MDL, there are a lot of negative low vibes. Your comment is encouraging. My late husband was murdered here in the UK, I was with him at the time and a few months ago someone was murdered outside my house. So murder and killing is everywhere. The safest place to be is in the presence of the Most High. I've been to Jamaica many times on my own. Gone to the bank to withdraw money. Heard gunshot firing but I just love Jamaica even though it has sadly been branded as the murder capital of the world. I've never been a victim of crime in Jamaica. I've been in love with the island since i first went at the age of 13. I believe I have a purpose in Jamaica and primarily that is to help others. I am not afraid of death so living in the midst of hot crime doesn't bother me. I've been close to being murdered but I'm under the protection of the Most High. My life on this planet will end at the appointed time and not before. I'm no longer a slave to fear and will live anywhere I believe my Creator leads me.... Its so awesome to be free!
Blessings Sir Throp 🙏🏽great content… beautiful 🤩 lady and her perspective about my beautiful country🇯🇲 I am still trapped inna Babylon however trying to escape 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽one ❤️
She's already a Jamaican. We love the hills. That's good she's working with Stephanie. They both are liked minded. Lol the power went out near the end. She wasn't faced by it. 🙂🙂🙂
I’m annoyed that she comes to Jamaican acting as if she’s rich. I know women who sells in my in the market in my community that have built six bedroom homes and are living better than she is, in poor communities. I don’t like the classism thing it makes me nuts because I live in the United States for 40 years and I’ve had to deal with that I don’t want it in Jamaica.
@@BeingPositiveTV What are you talking about? She’s talking her truth. I don’t get your hatred and anger. Save it for the Jamaican criminals and murderers.
Moving here without having a family living in Jamaica or being from Jamaica is interesting to me. I respect her for taking the leap of faith and just doing it.
WOW! This was a spectacular discussion! I love both your contents and online personalities. I want to move back to JA so bad but will need to convince my husband to buy a house on the north coast although we already have a home in the hills of St. Ann. I’m trying to figure out a business idea that I could create to help my fellow Jamaicans 🤷🏾♀️
Returning to ones old neighborhood to live I called that " Childhood Nostalgia and Family Ties to Ancestral Land". I made up the term. They are trying to recapture those childhood memories. The older generation have passed and their descendants living in those neighborhoods have no family attachments to them or care to know them. The neighborhood hasn't progressed. It's a bad idea to visit or live there permanently. They are just putting a target on themselves. It's best to create memories in a new location with people of same likeness and economical means preferably gated communities.
I agree with most of what you said, but we are so flippant about "gated communities." Ideally, my vision is to live in a safe community that is not a guilded cage. I struggle with this and that's the juxtaposition why I haven't moved back to JA. The more I look at UA-camrs like Throp the pull becomes stronger and stronger to come back home. I am tired of feeling comfortable with being uncomfortable abroad; 55 years is enough.
@@shayscott7498 gated communities have cameras and people can't just drive into the neighborhood without being buzzed in I wouldn't live in one in the states but considering police in Jamaica is lackadaisical to investigate any thing there there are evidence they can collect from the cameras. Plus you can leave the home unattended if you have to travel. People have had problems in gated communities in the usa but it was their own family who visited them that were the culprit.
That term has been used over and over....as that is the PRIMARY factor for persons returning to their old neighborhoods.🕰, just wasn't use on this thread. True.....all they want is what you bring.
Awesome video as per usual Throp..I love the concept 👌🏾..Thanks for letting people see the positivity in Jamaica 🇯🇲 ..We love the encouragement & food for thought 👏🏾👌🏾❤️🇯🇲🆙️
On the topic of not moving back to the community where you are from. I believe it depends on the community. I alone with my family and friends will be moving back to the community that we are from. It gives us comfort and security.
They’re trying to bring the same mentality to separate people by socioeconomic class as they do in the United States. Rich Black people never move into their neighborhoods. I have moved back into my neighborhood and I am most comfortable and feel protected there. All the people there are productive even with the little that they have. Brick by brick they build their own homes. She has no clue about the people of Jamaica or even the communities of Jamaica and should not be trying to give advice as to where people should live.
A lot of Jamaicans are just condition on some things and just focusing on leaving because of the perception they see on TV or on social media, they never try doing any research on the Jamaican government website, travel the country, they just focus on negative thinking and not enough positive.
You go to college and graduate only to pay off student loans the first 10 to 15 years of your life. Going to college in the USA is only a big business. They push college on people because its big business for America. Half the people don't get work in the field they studied for. I feel the same way when I visited Jamaica too, man you can reach up and pull food off the trees. WONDERFUL!!! Yes, you can make money here, but you have to work several jobs to make it here as the rent has become outrageous!!!! You have no social life!! Sometimes you have to choose pay rent or buy food!!!
teachers in America are leaving the profession in drove too. It just doesn't pay enough.. The average pay for a teacher in Florida is $47500. You will need two more jobs with that to pay a rent of $2000 per month.
Yes the ppl going don't understand that, all they do is multiply the dollar, they don't think about the cost of living where they are going. It's all good tho for them to go and see then they will learn to appreciate Ja more.
@@Throp Yes, rent is crazy in the US these days, even in the South…..it’s gone up significantly in the past 3 years or so. A decent 1br in ATL is around $2k as well 😌
Mocha is a beautiful Jamaican sister. Hope for you God's blessings. When you come to Jamaica please find good and genuine friends so they can tell you where to go and what time. Trench Town is peaceful and please visit Bob Marley Culture yard. Jamaica is paradise but the crime is our greatest problem but life is great here. I am a Jamaican and would not leave this country. I go to the rivers, eat fish meal, and just visit the cockpit in Trelawny. Please visit the cockpit and speak out about its destruction by the Jamaican Government.
If she’s able to afford it, Upper St. Andrew would be a good place for her. Close proximity to Kingston, yet a little, not all the way rural, as some other parishes.
Thanks Throp..another great interview with Clarice..I am looking to moved back home and start a business so this is great..I will definitely connect with Clarice and support..
Yes I agree how you move in Jamaica or any foreign country is going to be different than the US. Most times in the US when you call the police they usually show up and you are familiar with the legal system. Be aware that unfortunately some people are not honest and will hustle you same as the US. Go in the wrong neighborhood you might get hurt. So the key I have found is talk to people and learn the culture and the area. Would I move to the country side where the infer structure is a bit lacking no but for me a city area is better. Research Research Research
Please STOP trying desperately to make it seems as though Jamaica is anywhere near the USA when it comes to structure. In the U.S you distinctly know where to avoid, except for school shootings. In Jamaica, as long as you deal with public transportation etc you are a sitting duck. U.S police maybe racist, However Jamaican police k!ll on sight, although you may have the same skin color. They have no regard for human life, unless you have Money and they can say "Boss man" or "Boss lady", and even then they'll devise a plan.
@@sunninghill6025 Go ask George Flloyd, Breanna Taylor, and the other 10 black men who have been killed by the police in the United States in 2022 thus far, exactly how they feel about the police. Police killing of black men because of the color of their skin does not exist in Jamaica. And as for transportation, that is NOT a problem in Jamaica. You are obviously a troll because you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Jamaica. We are 60 years old with 3M people; United States is 246 years old with 330M; so common sense should inform that Jamaica's infrastructure is not on par, but we will get there soon.
@@sunninghill6025 hi thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment. I was not trying to make Jamaica 🇯🇲 seem like or sound like the USA. The verbiage may have implied that but as I stated you have to be aware of your surroundings and use common sense. I disagree respectfully with your comments concerning the Jamaican police. I can only speak on my experience but over the last 2 years I have visited Jamaica every 2 months and stay each time for at least a month. I have driven the streets and visited the marketplace and local stores and have felt safe. I just left Jamaica of a couple days ago and will be going back in October. Once again this is my experience. As with any organization there are bad actors that is normal because we are humans beings and no one is perfect. I have listen to the news in the USA and almost every day there is an incident with the police shooting a black or brown person down “like a dog” in the streets or in their car for a traffic stop. I feel safer with the police in Jamaica than the police in Decatur. This of course is my experience. Once again no matter where you are please use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. 😀
Jamaica was authentically the best place for me to live. I never thought I would leave or be concerned about even visting again. As a black expat and a returning resident with moderate savings and resources I moved home for 10 years and really felt free and safe for the whole time....I too am a home body.. UNTIL HOME INVASION REACHED MY DOOR STEP.. Like I said...I was one of those who came home to HELP and do my business low key legally ...I felt overjoyed to do that....BUT. that was because I was personally unaware of the dangers around me as a returning resident vs short term visits. The BRAIN DRAIN which is a double edged sword...because it has affected everything for decades and has contributed to the UN-WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT. I watched this program for years and really believed it was all good UNTIL IT WAS NOT...I was in my little cocoon. So I did not realize how UNSAFE the INFRASTRUCTURE WAS HERE. And it's getting worst. NEGRIL is not a typical of the rest of the island. However it will be changing drastically with WESTMORELAND GANGS and CORRUPT POLICE close by. My experience was the same as yours....however...we are not typical. And even then...I had to retreat and leave my $2.5M USD Beachfront Property in a Resort Town in St Ann. Google Facts: #2 MURDER CAPiTAL # 2 FEMICIDE. I did not believe it...I also mitigated against risk ...I moved back where I knew anyone I left at 12... I lived simple....did not have any risk. I lived simple. I LIVED in a quiet community where you could keep your doors open... But here are the facts - Scammers and Choppers and GUN men are now able to afford to live next door to you...during the lock down these forces GALVENIZED and have become financially empowered are looking to takeover because we have no means for solving crimes. Criminals have zero fear and they are indeed targeting people who they thing has means. Corrupt. Police are also targeting you in the form and bribes. I thought most of the crimes came only from family and friends.. but that was not my case. Strangers moved next door..and used the house for a scammer haven..and all hell broke loose. I WAS RAISED IN NY.. AND TRAVELLED 48 STATES AND 10 COUNTURES...SO VERY AWARE A MOVED . WOKE every where and JA. But ...with all that said...JAMAICA does NOT have the infrastructure to assure the Safety of its existing citizens muchless returnees or expats. I probably lasted 10 years because I work online and was somewhat isolated. I was a relocation specialist for expats for the past 5 years by word or mouth...with close friends.. because of my positive love and energy for my country. BUT KNOWING WHAT I NOW KNOW...I AM OUT OF DENIAL...and am very reluctant to recommend Jamaica to relocate or even for short term stays.
Beautiful lady she has such nice eyes. I used to listen to her but I think she went to facebook and I don't do facebook at all. Thank you Throp I was visiting Jamaica for three weeks in August so I will try to get caught up.
As an Expat/Returning Resident/grew up in NY 50 years and Jamaica 10. Work remotely...lived moderately...home body...connected to professional locally.. only. Not flasht...took taxis around for years. Low low key and cool with everyone around me. ...UNTIL POST PANDEMIC...when CRIME started to infiltrate the socalled SAFE resort communities across Jamaica. I was soooo DISMISSIVE and unaware of the DANGERS OF JAMAICA. That might not be her experience. She has not been there long enough to really give any advice. I sound the same with my unawareness for 10 years. Fact is you can make ALL the necessary adjustments possible. Fact: LIVING IN JAMAICA is becoming now more than ever.... like playing RUSSIAN ROULETTE with your life. CRIME IS INDEED AT A ALL NEW HIGH...NEW FAD..People setting up their neighbors for .RANDOM HOME INVASIONS...even in Gated Communities. I had cameras and Hawkey Security System..and it didn't stop them. I never lived in fear here. Never. But it would be unwise that I would still be in denial of the dangers that exists of relocating to Jamaica.
Why would a Caribbeans Island pay as the USA or UK? That's upsurge their economy and cost of living is much higher than Jamaica, as far as I know people had been leaving Jamaica for years just because some Jamaicans just think they can make money faster, so they follow money wherever it leads them.
Good night Throp, in your podcast with Mocha, she mentioned another country the name of Stephani Perry. My question: is she a part of berjamaica or is access to her a separate process?
Good morning, I don't understand why Jamaica people always think they are the one who is experiencing hardships, what ever is happening in Jamaica is happening all over the world especially in third world countries and Latin and South American countries. Right here in NYC where I am there is a big shortage of teachers. They complain about no jobs for teachers and nurses, they all go into these professions knowing there will be not enough jobs for them, so they blame the government knowing fully well that they are going to migrate because of the demands for that kind of work, Jamaicans never take responsibility for anything thing always blaming someone else or the government, wake up Jamaican people
with me being jamaica i see ware the ghana leader did show up in jamaica and say oh its now time to return to ghana lol dig this i do not av friends or relatives in ghana so even if family members was living in ghana i just can not settle in africa in jamaica u can chat our own jamaican patwah language so who can beat dat .plus am nat going to be afraid of my own jamaican people
I am just in the verge of retirement in Jamaica I am from the NY area I feel intimated if I mentioned to anyone in NY the first thing they will think I am crazy, I have two houses in Jamaica and none of them is where I grew up, if anyone is interested in a business in the White House area Westmoreland really use a nice shopping mall with supermarket,
Sir, I understand this streamed on yesterday but, if our government gives foreign investors such huge tax breaks and different incentives why wouldn't they extend the same and better to those of our country. My Prayer is that our government will see that nationals only have Jamaica at heart
Stew peas is a delicacy dish that one of the most difficult Ja good to cook perfectly..So when a woman can cook it the right way...it so delicious that the IS myth is the woman can ''ketch/capture' a man because he will want her stew peas cooking all the time i.e. the man would be addicted to her cooking stew peas for him.
I’ve never heard about that myth or legend and I left Jamaica when I was 28 years old. However, here in America I’ve heard about the same myth/legend associated with pasta dishes where they use marinara sauce. The same myth/legend applies. Sick minded people.
They say that 'THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE' WHEN YOU GET OVER THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE YOU REALIZE HOW MUDDY IT IS AND YOU STANDING IN YOUR NEIGHBOR DOG POOP AND AND CRAP. HOME IS ALWAYS THE BEST PLACE. LEARN TO ' CLEAN UP OUR OWN SHIT/ MESS
They want to come to USA 🇺🇸 but you are going to hustle every day and the cost of living is double or triple. So get ready if that’s what you really want.
Don't worry, the Jamaican government will take up your offer, why? Because it's a must for all the children of the Sun to return because the time is right and it's the dispensation of the returnees is now. It's not just Africa who are responsible for the peculiar people chosen by their creator to come together to unite.
Its all perspectives, its so annoying when people try to make the argument about crime rate vs America, first of all on a per capita basis jamaica has the highest murder rate per capita, LET ME REPEAT FOR THE SLOW PEOPLE WHO CANT READ. (PER CAPITA) go look it up to see what that means. So, some people find good luck in America, some will find success in jamaica, its all perspectives, what is not is the crime rate as it relates to the numbers. Facts are facts regardless of how patriotic you want to be.
I think if the 3 million Jamaicans living abroad was shown that Jamaicans can at least almost be crime free, meaning crime LOW, murder, God forbid,...5 for the year and so forth,...corruption, non existence,...ang what if we gave them a year crime free, and 1 million returned to Jamaica with $10,000USD each, what do we think that would that do for the country
So right Mocha. Met a Black American lady residing in Jamaica with her Jamaican husband some years ago and yes indeed from her perspective everything about Jamaica was negative and everything about america was positive. I have to say i found her very patronising and rude and she could not understand why this did not go down well with Jamaicans.
For the life of me, I can't understand why would someone takes a job and then complain about the pay is not enough to take care of their expenses. Have they ever heard of multiple streams of income. Teachers who are teaching people to cope and make it in life themselves can't even monetize their knowledge. They have to be country hoping for slave work ! in 2022 ???? sad !!!!
This EXPAT GROUP need to explore why people are leaving ( Not just young people but other expats over 40 50 60 and seniors..). and can also impress upon the Govt...install the FREE DNA DATABASE that was given to our govt by the usa govt. Uniform and increase criminal. sentences. I was very able to support myself in Jamaica. Did better opportunity wise in JA but left for the reasons below... the CRIME has infiltrated every corner or Jamaica. You don't know or experience it ..until unfortunately if you do.
The FBI stationed in Jamaica said 80% of the worst crimes are gang related (criminals against each other). They said this is all run by gangs in America and Colombia. This was on a news conference on Jamaican TV.
Lawd only knows an African American know EXACTLY why you would want to leave Amerikkka!!! Lawd Knows I left over 5 years ago and currently live in Europe and still try to visit Jamaica once a year. Come out of Babylon people....
I am disgusted by your comments about not moving back into your same neighborhood this is not the United States or Mississippi or the southside of Chicago. We move back right in the same neighborhoods among the people who don’t have as much as we do because we want to build our community. I know many people who moved back into their same neighborhood and her are not having any problems I think it is a terrible idea to say such a thing Jamaicans are not trying to kill people because they seem to have more money than they do. That’s the American mentality to separate people by how much they have please don’t bring that to Jamaica. Take that back to the United States. You’re ready to segregate people by Socio economic class we don’t need people like you in our country.
Thanks for watching. At the end of the day you should do what you feel is best for you and your situation. These are recommendations made based on the experience of others. Take it for whatever it might be worth to you
J Rose This is not an "American thing". This IS a " Jamaican Thing" You know people who have returned to your/their neighborhood and are doing just fine, well, that's good for you and them. But there are also MANY who did do just that and are now 6'x 6" under if they were lucky. { I think now it's 4'x whatever). So don't try to play this situation up as if it's an AMERICAN THING. It is JAMAICAN only. People get killed every day in other places, yes. But Jamaica is the place where returnees ARE targeted for what they supposedly have. THERE is NO WAY TO SPIN THAT SHIT!
Moving from Jamaica over 30 years. Not been ungrateful if i have my life to live again i would never trade my country to build another. I love Jamaica. It's where my heart beats. Can't wait to be back permanently.
Thank you I feel the same way too
So true. But hindsight is 20/20 they say. I am in total agreement with you. I am moving back soon too.

Good to see this young lady settling down in Jamaica 🇯🇲 did see her channel a few times, I am a Jamaican living in California I am back and forth with my air bnb investment in negril the difference with people from both countries an American black or white will tell you straight off the bat to go back to your country if there should be an argument or disagreement , it's not common for a Jamaican to tell you that as a foreigner, we were always known to be kind to visitors, but we appreciate you with open arms one love Jamaica stay safe !!
Jamaica is a very welcoming culture all around
Had enough of UK and the 9 to 5 control system. I was born here, my husband of 9 years is Jamaican. Cost of living here is through the roof. Come October, it will be having to choose between heating and eating. Can't wait another 11 years for pension so sold up and moving to Westmoreland the end of September. Family and friends think we're taking a big risk but it's one of those things that if we don't do what's in our heart, we may live to regret it. I absolutely love Jamaica and looking forward to natural, healthy living in the countryside. Jamaica is so blessed
thanks so much for watching!
Maybe u should get a place in portland or Manchester westmoreland is hot with crime
Agreed! Do what's right for you and don't listen to the naysayers. Most are just trolls.
Thanks MDL, there are a lot of negative low vibes. Your comment is encouraging. My late husband was murdered here in the UK, I was with him at the time and a few months ago someone was murdered outside my house. So murder and killing is everywhere. The safest place to be is in the presence of the Most High. I've been to Jamaica many times on my own. Gone to the bank to withdraw money. Heard gunshot firing but I just love Jamaica even though it has sadly been branded as the murder capital of the world. I've never been a victim of crime in Jamaica. I've been in love with the island since i first went at the age of 13. I believe I have a purpose in Jamaica and primarily that is to help others. I am not afraid of death so living in the midst of hot crime doesn't bother me. I've been close to being murdered but I'm under the protection of the Most High. My life on this planet will end at the appointed time and not before. I'm no longer a slave to fear and will live anywhere I believe my Creator leads me.... Its so awesome to be free!
God be with you all!
Blessings Sir Throp 🙏🏽great content… beautiful 🤩 lady and her perspective about my beautiful country🇯🇲 I am still trapped inna Babylon however trying to escape 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽one ❤️
Thanks so much!
Love Mocha. I watched all of her videos and she inspired me to look into moving back home.
Awesome. Thanks for watching
She's already a Jamaican. We love the hills. That's good she's working with Stephanie. They both are liked minded. Lol the power went out near the end. She wasn't faced by it. 🙂🙂🙂
Ahahaha great point
I’m annoyed that she comes to Jamaican acting as if she’s rich. I know women who sells in my in the market in my community that have built six bedroom homes and are living better than she is, in poor communities. I don’t like the classism thing it makes me nuts because I live in the United States for 40 years and I’ve had to deal with that I don’t want it in Jamaica.
@@BeingPositiveTV What are you talking about? She’s talking her truth. I don’t get your hatred and anger. Save it for the Jamaican criminals and murderers.
@@BeingPositiveTV did I just watched the same video as you?
Where or when did she act like she’s rich? You’re making up things in your mind.
I just love her, I started watching her from the beginning.
Thanks for watching!
Moving here without having a family living in Jamaica or being from Jamaica is interesting to me. I respect her for taking the leap of faith and just doing it.
The sun in Jamaica is making her skin glow
Thanks for watching!
WOW! This was a spectacular discussion! I love both your contents and online personalities. I want to move back to JA so bad but will need to convince my husband to buy a house on the north coast although we already have a home in the hills of St. Ann. I’m trying to figure out a business idea that I could create to help my fellow Jamaicans 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks for watching. Best of luck with you’re journey back to Jamaica. You made the first step which is the will to do so
Returning to ones old neighborhood to live I called that " Childhood Nostalgia and Family Ties to Ancestral Land". I made up the term.
They are trying to recapture those childhood memories. The older generation have passed and their descendants living in those neighborhoods have no family attachments to them or care to know them. The neighborhood hasn't progressed.
It's a bad idea to visit or live there permanently. They are just putting a target on themselves.
It's best to create memories in a new location with people of same likeness and economical means preferably gated communities.
I agree with most of what you said, but we are so flippant about "gated communities." Ideally, my vision is to live in a safe community that is not a guilded cage. I struggle with this and that's the juxtaposition why I haven't moved back to JA. The more I look at UA-camrs like Throp the pull becomes stronger and stronger to come back home. I am tired of feeling comfortable with being uncomfortable abroad; 55 years is enough.
Well said
I hear you on this
@@shayscott7498 gated communities have cameras and people can't just drive into the neighborhood without being buzzed in
I wouldn't live in one in the states but considering police in Jamaica is lackadaisical to investigate any thing there there are evidence they can collect from the cameras. Plus you can leave the home unattended if you have to travel.
People have had problems in gated communities in the usa but it was their own family who visited them that were the culprit.
That term has been used over and over....as that is the PRIMARY factor for persons returning to their old neighborhoods.🕰, just wasn't use on this thread. True.....all they want is what you bring.
Awesome video as per usual Throp..I love the concept 👌🏾..Thanks for letting people see the positivity in Jamaica 🇯🇲 ..We love the encouragement & food for thought 👏🏾👌🏾❤️🇯🇲🆙️
Thank you so much!
On the topic of not moving back to the community where you are from. I believe it depends on the community. I alone with my family and friends will be moving back to the community that we are from. It gives us comfort and security.
At the end of the day you should do what is best for you and your family
They’re trying to bring the same mentality to separate people by socioeconomic class as they do in the United States. Rich Black people never move into their neighborhoods. I have moved back into my neighborhood and I am most comfortable and feel protected there. All the people there are productive even with the little that they have. Brick by brick they build their own homes. She has no clue about the people of Jamaica or even the communities of Jamaica and should not be trying to give advice as to where people should live.
A lot of Jamaicans are just condition on some things and just focusing on leaving because of the perception they see on TV or on social media, they never try doing any research on the Jamaican government website, travel the country, they just focus on negative thinking and not enough positive.
Live can be very good here
Theres HARDLY ANY positive, except the land itself!!! Jamaica is the most poplar modern day SLAVE PLANTATION. FULL STOP!!
So true!
You go to college and graduate only to pay off student loans the first 10 to 15 years of your life. Going to college in the USA is only a big business. They push college on people because its big business for America. Half the people don't get work in the field they studied for. I feel the same way when I visited Jamaica too, man you can reach up and pull food off the trees. WONDERFUL!!! Yes, you can make money here, but you have to work several jobs to make it here as the rent has become outrageous!!!! You have no social life!! Sometimes you have to choose pay rent or buy food!!!
Thank you for watching!
Mocha you look wonderful! My beautiful jamaica has truly done you well.
Don't go back to Mississippi!
Thank you for watching!
teachers in America are leaving the profession in drove too. It just doesn't pay enough.. The average pay for a teacher in Florida is $47500. You will need two more jobs with that to pay a rent of $2000 per month.
Yes the ppl going don't understand that, all they do is multiply the dollar, they don't think about the cost of living where they are going. It's all good tho for them to go and see then they will learn to appreciate Ja more.
Jeez! I didn't know rent in Florida was $2k/month!!
@@Throp Yes, rent is crazy in the US these days, even in the South…..it’s gone up significantly in the past 3 years or so. A decent 1br in ATL is around $2k as well 😌
I'm moved to Jamaica 🇯🇲 last year. Love it
Really
Amazing! Very happy for you!
Mocha is a beautiful Jamaican sister. Hope for you God's blessings. When you come to Jamaica please find good and genuine friends so they can tell you where to go and what time. Trench Town is peaceful and please visit Bob Marley Culture yard. Jamaica is paradise but the crime is our greatest problem but life is great here. I am a Jamaican and would not leave this country. I go to the rivers, eat fish meal, and just visit the cockpit in Trelawny. Please visit the cockpit and speak out about its destruction by the Jamaican Government.
If she’s able to afford it, Upper St. Andrew would be a good place for her. Close proximity to Kingston, yet a little, not all the way rural, as some other parishes.
Very informative, enjoyed this sessionThrop, thank you Mocha!
The US is the worst for violence! Smh I admire her for making that move. My husband and I have been taking about this lately.
Yes. America is not what it cracks up to be.
Thanks Throp..another great interview with Clarice..I am looking to moved back home and start a business so this is great..I will definitely connect with Clarice and support..
Awesome awesome. Thanks for watching
Wonderfully said Mocha
Thanks for watching!
Glorious to hear you lady, good talk, thank you. Hope you will get happier and happier there. Young beautiful and cool take it easy young lady.
Sometimes at customs it's not the system in place that frustrated you but the person put in place to work.
Ha! I’ve had both good and bad experiences with customs
Excellent interview! Love 💗 Mocha. I share her views 🎯
thank you so much
Yes I agree how you move in Jamaica or any foreign country is going to be different than the US. Most times in the US when you call the police they usually show up and you are familiar with the legal system. Be aware that unfortunately some people are not honest and will hustle you same as the US. Go in the wrong neighborhood you might get hurt. So the key I have found is talk to people and learn the culture and the area. Would I move to the country side where the infer structure is a bit lacking no but for me a city area is better. Research Research Research
Greta point
Please STOP trying desperately to make it seems as though Jamaica is anywhere near the USA when it comes to structure. In the U.S you distinctly know where to avoid, except for school shootings. In Jamaica, as long as you deal with public transportation etc you are a sitting duck. U.S police maybe racist, However Jamaican police k!ll on sight, although you may have the same skin color. They have no regard for human life, unless you have Money and they can say "Boss man" or "Boss lady", and even then they'll devise a plan.
@@sunninghill6025 Go ask George Flloyd, Breanna Taylor, and the other 10 black men who have been killed by the police in the United States in 2022 thus far, exactly how they feel about the police. Police killing of black men because of the color of their skin does not exist in Jamaica. And as for transportation, that is NOT a problem in Jamaica. You are obviously a troll because you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Jamaica. We are 60 years old with 3M people; United States is 246 years old with 330M; so common sense should inform that Jamaica's infrastructure is not on par, but we will get there soon.
@@sunninghill6025 hi thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment. I was not trying to make Jamaica 🇯🇲 seem like or sound like the USA. The verbiage may have implied that but as I stated you have to be aware of your surroundings and use common sense. I disagree respectfully with your comments concerning the Jamaican police. I can only speak on my experience but over the last 2 years I have visited Jamaica every 2 months and stay each time for at least a month. I have driven the streets and visited the marketplace and local stores and have felt safe. I just left Jamaica of a couple days ago and will be going back in October. Once again this is my experience. As with any organization there are bad actors that is normal because we are humans beings and no one is perfect. I have listen to the news in the USA and almost every day there is an incident with the police shooting a black or brown person down “like a dog” in the streets or in their car for a traffic stop. I feel safer with the police in Jamaica than the police in Decatur. This of course is my experience. Once again no matter where you are please use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. 😀
Throp big up family love you show man
Thanks so much!
Jamaica was authentically the best place for me to live. I never thought I would leave or be concerned about even visting again. As a black expat and a returning resident with moderate savings and resources I moved home for 10 years and really felt free and safe for the whole time....I too am a home body.. UNTIL HOME INVASION REACHED MY DOOR STEP.. Like I said...I was one of those who came home to HELP and do my business low key legally ...I felt overjoyed to do that....BUT. that was because I was personally unaware of the dangers around me as a returning resident vs short term visits. The BRAIN DRAIN which is a double edged sword...because it has affected everything for decades and has contributed to the UN-WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT.
I watched this program for years and really believed it was all good UNTIL IT WAS NOT...I was in my little cocoon. So I did not realize how UNSAFE the INFRASTRUCTURE WAS HERE. And it's getting worst.
NEGRIL is not a typical of the rest of the island. However it will be changing drastically with WESTMORELAND GANGS and CORRUPT POLICE close by.
My experience was the same as yours....however...we are not typical. And even then...I had to retreat and leave my $2.5M USD Beachfront Property in a Resort Town in St Ann. Google Facts: #2 MURDER CAPiTAL # 2 FEMICIDE. I did not believe it...I also mitigated against risk ...I moved back where I knew anyone I left at 12... I lived simple....did not have any risk. I lived simple. I LIVED in a quiet community where you could keep your doors open... But here are the facts - Scammers and Choppers and GUN men are now able to afford to live next door to you...during the lock down these forces GALVENIZED and have become financially empowered are looking to takeover because we have no means for solving crimes. Criminals have zero fear and they are indeed targeting people who they thing has means. Corrupt. Police are also targeting you in the form and bribes. I thought most of the crimes came only from family and friends.. but that was not my case. Strangers moved next door..and used the house for a scammer haven..and all hell broke loose. I WAS RAISED IN NY.. AND TRAVELLED 48 STATES AND 10 COUNTURES...SO VERY AWARE A MOVED . WOKE every where and JA. But ...with all that said...JAMAICA does NOT have the infrastructure to assure the Safety of its existing citizens muchless returnees or expats. I probably lasted 10 years because I work online and was somewhat isolated.
I was a relocation specialist for expats for the past 5 years by word or mouth...with close friends.. because of my positive love and energy for my country. BUT KNOWING WHAT I NOW KNOW...I AM OUT OF DENIAL...and am very reluctant to recommend Jamaica to relocate or even for short term stays.
Nice interview Moca, I wish you all the best in Jamaica.
Luv ur energy. Winthrop! Hope to meet U when I return!! Watching from Montreal, Canada 🇯🇲 🇨🇦
Thanks so much. Looking forward to meeting you as well!
It is great to see her.👍
If Mocha is not married I hope that she finds a lovely Jamaican man and settle down.
God bless and k😮 you safe great interview.
Awesome interview very informative 👍🏽
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching
Great job Mocha. Genuine
Thanks for watching!
Love watching her videos
They’re pretty awesome
Beautiful lady she has such nice eyes. I used to listen to her but I think she went to facebook and I don't do facebook at all. Thank you Throp I was visiting Jamaica for three weeks in August so I will try to get caught up.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
As an Expat/Returning Resident/grew up in NY 50 years and Jamaica 10. Work remotely...lived moderately...home body...connected to professional locally.. only. Not flasht...took taxis around for years. Low low key and cool with everyone around me. ...UNTIL POST PANDEMIC...when CRIME started to infiltrate the socalled SAFE resort communities across Jamaica.
I was soooo DISMISSIVE and unaware of the DANGERS OF JAMAICA. That might not be her experience. She has not been there long enough to really give any advice. I sound the same with my unawareness for 10 years. Fact is you can make ALL the necessary adjustments possible. Fact: LIVING IN JAMAICA is becoming now more than ever.... like playing RUSSIAN ROULETTE with your life. CRIME IS INDEED AT A ALL NEW HIGH...NEW FAD..People setting up their neighbors for .RANDOM HOME INVASIONS...even in Gated Communities. I had cameras and Hawkey Security System..and it didn't stop them. I never lived in fear here. Never. But it would be unwise that I would still be in denial of the dangers that exists of relocating to Jamaica.
Big shame
Why would a Caribbeans Island pay as the USA or UK? That's upsurge their economy and cost of living is much higher than Jamaica, as far as I know people had been leaving Jamaica for years just because some Jamaicans just think they can make money faster, so they follow money wherever it leads them.
Yeah that’s a tough pill to swallow for me as well
Young lady..you're not just beautiful..but you're very socially intelligent 👌..enjoy watching you..
Good night Throp, in your podcast with Mocha, she mentioned another country the name of Stephani Perry. My question: is she a part of berjamaica or is access to her a separate process?
Good morning, I don't understand why Jamaica people always think they are the one who is experiencing hardships, what ever is happening in Jamaica is happening all over the world especially in third world countries and Latin and South American countries. Right here in NYC where I am there is a big shortage of teachers. They complain about no jobs for teachers and nurses, they all go into these professions knowing there will be not enough jobs for them, so they blame the government knowing fully well that they are going to migrate because of the demands for that kind of work, Jamaicans never take responsibility for anything thing always blaming someone else or the government, wake up Jamaican people
thanks for your comment and thank you for watching
Excellent interviews!
Thank you so much
with me being jamaica i see ware the ghana leader did show up in jamaica and say oh its now time to return to ghana lol dig this i do not av friends or relatives in ghana so even if family members was living in ghana i just can not settle in africa in jamaica u can chat our own jamaican patwah language so who can beat dat .plus am nat going to be afraid of my own jamaican people
Love this
I am just in the verge of retirement in Jamaica I am from the NY area I feel intimated if I mentioned to anyone in NY the first thing they will think I am crazy, I have two houses in Jamaica and none of them is where I grew up, if anyone is interested in a business in the White House area Westmoreland really use a nice shopping mall with supermarket,
White House is slowly starting to become a hotspot. The future looks great for the area
@@Throp yes and they are now building a new gated community I have a lovely view,
I was waiting for her to start elaborating on the loveliness of some beauty spots such as Portland, which tourists gush about.
I love Portland
Great program how could you get a copy of the book she showed
she's gorgeous!
Jamaica is Mississippi sister island. We have a lot in common because they brought a lot of enslaved Jamaicans to Mississippi.
Great interview
Thank you!
Sir, I understand this streamed on yesterday but, if our government gives foreign investors such huge tax breaks and different incentives why wouldn't they extend the same and better to those of our country. My Prayer is that our government will see that nationals only have Jamaica at heart
Fair point but I do think we should incentivize Jamaicans who were born here to move back to help progress “Project Jamaica”
Dream on, one thing I know about Jamaican government is they don't look out for their people.
Clarice looks beautiful in her pink...
thank you for watching!
Lady you said all the right things only if we all would know thanks
mocho you in here
Haha it was great having her
Postive contribution.
Thank you!
What's the difference between an expat & an immigrant?
An expat is living/working outside of their native country for a time period. Immigrant intends to stay in the country indefinitely.
The Bronx…what?! She clearly has a southern accent. Lol. Bronx Jamaican here. Big up unnu self.
Mocha I'm jamaican and have never heard of the stewed peas tale.
Haha same. Learn something new everyday
Stew peas is a delicacy dish that one of the most difficult Ja good to cook perfectly..So when a woman can cook it the right way...it so delicious that the IS myth is the woman can ''ketch/capture' a man because he will want her stew peas cooking all the time i.e. the man would be addicted to her cooking stew peas for him.
Where can I get that book to buy?
It’s on their website. The link is in the description
I’ve never heard about that myth or legend and I left Jamaica when I was 28 years old. However, here in America I’ve heard about the same myth/legend associated with pasta dishes where they use marinara sauce. The same myth/legend applies. Sick minded people.
First time I heard it as well
It’s a Myth my dear,don’t believe it,eat up your strew peas.
You're coming in clear
thanks for letting me know
They say that 'THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE'
WHEN YOU GET OVER THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE YOU REALIZE HOW MUDDY IT IS AND YOU STANDING IN YOUR NEIGHBOR DOG POOP AND AND CRAP.
HOME IS ALWAYS THE BEST PLACE.
LEARN TO ' CLEAN UP OUR OWN SHIT/ MESS
Thank you for watching
They want to come to USA 🇺🇸 but you are going to hustle every day and the cost of living is double or triple. So get ready if that’s what you really want.
It's definitely not easy int he states at all
Don't worry, the Jamaican government will take up your offer, why? Because it's a must for all the children of the Sun to return because the time is right and it's the dispensation of the returnees is now. It's not just Africa who are responsible for the peculiar people chosen by their creator to come together to unite.
Throp - You're a sous chef. ☺️ Are your parents Jamaican? What is your connection to the island?
i ham jamaica from clarendon living in Ghana how many different parish you be to
Oh wow. Thanks for chiming in 🇬🇭
Its all perspectives, its so annoying when people try to make the argument about crime rate vs America, first of all on a per capita basis jamaica has the highest murder rate per capita, LET ME REPEAT FOR THE SLOW PEOPLE WHO CANT READ. (PER CAPITA) go look it up to see what that means.
So, some people find good luck in America, some will find success in jamaica, its all perspectives, what is not is the crime rate as it relates to the numbers. Facts are facts regardless of how patriotic you want to be.
I think if the 3 million Jamaicans living abroad was shown that Jamaicans can at least almost be crime free, meaning crime LOW, murder, God forbid,...5 for the year and so forth,...corruption, non existence,...ang what if we gave them a year crime free, and 1 million returned to Jamaica with $10,000USD each, what do we think that would that do for the country
The myth about stew peas is just that, a myth. I would say just be careful who you eat it from, but that’s with all foods.
So right Mocha. Met a Black American lady residing in Jamaica with her Jamaican husband some years ago and yes indeed from her perspective everything about Jamaica was negative and everything about america was positive. I have to say i found her very patronising and rude and she could not understand why this did not go down well with Jamaicans.
I don’t like that kind of attitude. Many Americans, regardless of race, have that attitude.
JP is Justice of the Peace in America too but they do different things nothing to do with rent here lol!
That’s right
For the life of me, I can't understand why would someone takes a job and then complain about the pay is not enough to take care of their expenses. Have they ever heard of multiple streams of income. Teachers who are teaching people to cope and make it in life themselves can't even monetize their knowledge. They have to be country hoping for slave work ! in 2022 ???? sad !!!!
This EXPAT GROUP need to explore why people are leaving ( Not just young people but other expats over 40 50 60 and seniors..). and can also impress upon the Govt...install the FREE DNA DATABASE that was given to our govt by the usa govt. Uniform and increase criminal. sentences.
I was very able to support myself in Jamaica. Did better opportunity wise in JA but left for the reasons below... the CRIME has infiltrated every corner or Jamaica. You don't know or experience it ..until unfortunately if you do.
Shame
I love M & M's
me tooooo!
80% of the crime are not random. Most crime are related to scamming
The FBI stationed in Jamaica said 80% of the worst crimes are gang related (criminals against each other). They said this is all run by gangs in America and Colombia. This was on a news conference on Jamaican TV.
Wen them com to the US thay well see. Jamaica is not bad. US is tax tax tax Jamaica freedom. I am coming home
I agree with this, not so easy in the US
Stop blowing gas.
U naa go no wey!
Lawd only knows an African American know EXACTLY why you would want to leave Amerikkka!!! Lawd Knows
I left over 5 years ago and currently live in Europe and still try to visit Jamaica once a year.
Come out of Babylon people....
Jamaica annoy afford to pay teachers the equivalent of the US
The lighting is bad. You need three point lighting.
yeah it's pretty crazy
Beautiful women .
thank you for watching!
Which government are you talking about?????🤣🤣🤣
Jamaicans living abroad are carrying too many baggages
She’s gangster. Went from Mississippi to Kingston.
I am disgusted by your comments about not moving back into your same neighborhood this is not the United States or Mississippi or the southside of Chicago. We move back right in the same neighborhoods among the people who don’t have as much as we do because we want to build our community. I know many people who moved back into their same neighborhood and her are not having any problems I think it is a terrible idea to say such a thing Jamaicans are not trying to kill people because they seem to have more money than they do. That’s the American mentality to separate people by how much they have please don’t bring that to Jamaica. Take that back to the United States. You’re ready to segregate people by Socio economic class we don’t need people like you in our country.
Thanks for watching. At the end of the day you should do what you feel is best for you and your situation. These are recommendations made based on the experience of others. Take it for whatever it might be worth to you
J Rose
This is not an "American thing". This IS a " Jamaican Thing" You know people who have returned to your/their neighborhood and are doing just fine, well, that's good for you and them.
But there are also MANY who did do just that and are now 6'x 6" under if they were lucky. { I think now it's 4'x whatever).
So don't try to play this situation up as if it's an AMERICAN THING. It is
JAMAICAN only.
People get killed every day in other places, yes. But Jamaica is the place where returnees ARE targeted for what they supposedly have.
THERE is NO WAY TO SPIN THAT SHIT!
Mocha stop saying arm all the time
This lady has the best energy and I was compelled to watch the full interview
