    As a French Black woman, i find this video very interesting and informative. But I'm surprised they did not know Speaking French was a requisite to live here. French language is almost a national treasure. Also I wonder in which industries they work and where in Paris they live.

    Maya is such a beautiful and intelligent young woman. She carries herself with such poise. I appreciate her checking her ignorant friend

    I have serious earring envy. I moved to Florida 2 years ago and cut my hair very short, because it's so hot. I hoped to be able to wear hypoallergenic earrings, but I can't. I can only wear gold, so I have only one dangly pair of earrings to wear. My ears have been pierced since 1971, so, this problem is not going away. I guess I can say I have a "capsule earring wardrobe".

    Kind of like the black version of "Sex In The City". Four successful attractive women having a talk. I wonder, are they single?

    You guys are enjoying life. I wonder how folks plan for the golden years in Paris. Can you do a show on that?

    Eyitemi looks like a more chocolate version of actress Anika Noni Rose, anyone else see the resemblance?

    What card did Sutanya say she has that enables her to stay for 10 years?

    • @temipopo
      @temipopo  7 років тому +5

      I believe she said titre de sejour. It's pretty much a 10 year resident card. Kind of equivalent to a U.S green card. www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F2208

    I want to go to the US to work but I don't speak English, do you think people will hire me ?

      @markwoods4439 7 років тому +4

      You would have to speak enough to hold a job and also depending on what kind of job it is. You could get one depending on the job market where you are at an the communication skills required.

    @augustinf 5 років тому +1

    I find it very strange that being away from home you girls hang out only between black women. I guess it’s just in these videos, but still... Do you pick your friends based on skinhead colour or something?

    • @hudaabdalla6968
      @hudaabdalla6968 4 роки тому +4

      This is sooooo silly haha. Ofc, people gravitate towards people they have similarities with: culture, experiences perspectives etc but they definitely just do NOT JUST hang out with black girls/women/people and just pick friends based off of skin colour. SIDE EYEEEEEEE

    • @augustinf
      @augustinf 4 роки тому

      Huda Abdalla well isn’t that the image they are giving? I mean I could understand if a majority of their group was black.. but all of them is « communautarism » or whatever the english word is. If they don’t speak french too well and one of their group of friends is english speaking.. there are tons of nationalities to hang out with in Paris, and it’s highly unlikely you’ll end up just with black people unless you made it on purpose and you judge people on their skin colour..

    • @hudaabdalla6968

      @@augustinf what they are showing you online is literally a snippet of their life/reality and i think its pretty wild to judge them based off of short videos.

    • @hudaabdalla6968
      @hudaabdalla6968 4 роки тому +2

      also man, being black anywhere in europe is not easy, ESPECALLY IN FRANCE and if they choose to hang around with people they can relate to in so many ways and share their experiences as a person of colour with other POC's then so be it.

    • @augustinf
      @augustinf 4 роки тому +1

      Huda Abdalla I don't agree at all... I'm parisian and I can tell you that an afroamerican in paris would be really popular in any social group. The swedish girl is just hanging out with them for the cultural experiment, the afroamericans are just closing themselves to their environment.

  • @MrBaltimoore
    @MrBaltimoore 7 років тому +3

    Why this concept of Afropolitan became popular? It's really a classist thing meaning upper middle class/rich black, especially upper middle class AA. All blacks can't identify with it

      At times, one has to not constantly search for the chance to relate, sometimes one must simply listen and learn from the perspectives of others objectively, and share.
