    My sister said her parents came to a country that they did not know, but she came to a country that she knew because she visited first. Sometimes we get push back from friends and parents about moving to Africa, but they did the same thing when they left the Caribbean for America and England. The difference is, today we have the internet so we can at least get an idea of where were moving to and we can visit before making the move. I will be moving to Ghana very soon once my preparations are complete, I've visited three times already, but my mind was made up after the first visit. Also, what she said about England at the start of the video is very true...folks, even if you don't want to move to the continent, why not invest in what is possibly the final frontier for people of color?

    I too am a second generation immigrant and my mothers mother was asked to come work in England from Dominica 🇩🇲.
    My mum came here when she was 12 approximately, and has never been home since. Says there is nothing to go back for.
    Like this lovely sister, I grew up and lived in Brixton most of my life. The way Brixton has been gentrified is crazy. We built this country up and they use us and toss us away like an old tissue when they don’t need us no more.

      Wow, people are really different. Did you ever have a deep conversation as to why she chose not to visit again. Was most of her family in the UK, Zero attachment to the place at all. I am on my way to relocate home and whenever I do it always feels so peaceful. As much as i value diversity, it seems to me most not all black people are always at the back of the bus when so many races are put in one place. You may be economically well off but even the lowest of the other races somehow feel they are better than black folks. Happy for you and hope Africa is all that you imagine. If your mind is open you will enjoy it and there is nothing like knowing everyone in positions of power look like you. Yes, the continent has challenges but when you mature you realize home is best.

    The entire system is set up to have you live on the verge of homelessness on a monthly basis and keeps you from accumulating money so you can move forward. In the US if you are paid 8 dollars an hour your rent in those areas with be 700.00 dollars per month and more with each year increased by 50 to 100 dollars. If you live in an area where the salaries are at average 20 dollars an hour then the rent is 1,700 per month. The math does not work out with what is realistic. This method makes people live in marginal debt with no savings that would sustain you for 6 months so it is easy to become homeless and always living on the edge. People should learn how to live together!!

      You know what's curious is how in America some whites say, " Go back where you come from ". Many don't want us here. They don't want us in their spaces. They look at us as if to say, what are 'you' doing here. It really hurts. At the same time, the 'powers that be' don't seem to want us to leave, especially don't go to Africa! So they tolerate us. Of course, I'm speaking in general terms. All whites are not bad.

Brought me to tears🥲 listening to her workers, talking of their experience working under her leadership🤝and guidance. This interview was Just beautiful. 🌴🤎🖤🌴 Well done!🙏🏾👊🏾

    My father said he earned more in Jamaica than he did when he arrived to bitter England. But after having children it was hard to return.

      This is very true. What is really interesting is after studying British History for several years I realise that the British establishment has been "spinning" for centuries. My parents generation had a real shock when they came to England and saw how poor the white working class people were spiritually and materially.... many Caribbean were better off in the islands! However, we are where we are and Britain now has a sizable Non European presence in the island. Karma.

    Good interview. I’m first generation American. My parents are Jamaican and Honduras born, migrated to the US. My kids are born in America too. Similar issues here. It never really feels completely like home or that black people belong here.

    Great interview, all Caribbean people have had the same experience in the UK, all Caribbean islanders fought hard to progress but were pushed back. Time to reconsider options and get out

    Our DNA is calling us home. No matter how far removed, WE are children of the soil! I appreciate and love that she is changing the practice of poor customer service in Jamaican restaurants. I can never understand how people service some so sacred as a meal with nasty attitudes. It's disgusting. Customers are why you have a business. If we don't come, it fails. Keep up the good work
