    Join me as I share the experience of the African American living in Africa, along with my own in the African nation of Namibia.

    I'm so proud of you! Anyone can live that same life in Africa instead of the United States. No place is perfect in this world, but Africa is where I'm going to live among my people.

    Being that you are in Africa for a while now, have you made any good friends to hang out with? Do you send Lance to camp in the summer? Or do you have school in June/July because it’s cold outside. Do they have Jamaican restaurants there too, just curious it’s nice to have different foods from time to time. I love your stories of Namibia. I love Africa and learning about the countries there. If you want to watch fun UA-cam Woda Maya has a great channel bringing Africa to the world and breaking stereotypes. Miss Trudy also has a cute channel.

      Hi! Yes, I have some close friends but most live in another town. They don't really have summers off like in the U.S. The biggest holiday time off from school is xmas break. They do have school in June/July still. I don't know of any Jamaican restaurants here but I do know a few Jamaicans here! Thanks for sharing those channels!
