    You look so much more beautiful than ever. So good to see you again! Amazing my dear sister. Your husband and your son looks amazing too. So proud of you and thank you for your message. But you know that you are in your home now, your ancestral land of birth, the original home of your bloodline. As long as you see yourself as a foreigner, AA, you might never fit in. It is all in the mind my dearest sister. I say this with love 🖤.

    I just found your channel about a month ago and have just about watched all your wonderful videos. I must say I ran into a dead end looking for new videos, and thought to myself, how could such a dynamic woman just stop this great awakenings just like that. I was crushed even though I had just tuned in. Anyway, I am most elated you are back with your smiling face doing Africa justice. I am African and Igbo living I the US. I just want you to know that I have an incredible amount of respect for you and what you do.
    I remember on one of your videos, you were worried about not working as hard as your host out on the farm in that hot African sun. Well, chill sister, because Africans would not do so well as first timers in New York out in the winter shoveling snow. You learn, as you have realized and believe me, you are doing great. Keep doing what you can and remember that your audiences light up as you light up on your shows. We all love what you are doing.

    Over the past year or so I've been watching other channels of African Americans living and working in Africa, and often you came to my mind. I guessed that your absence from YT was probably related to the busyness of life (and so you were!), but I feel that I should have reached out to you anyway. Please accept my apologies. Glad that you and your family were able to visit NYC (my hometown) this past summer; hope you had loads of fun. What a big boy Lance has gotten to be (he looks so much like you)! I love your perspective of a young African American wife and mother living on the Continent; it's always exciting and informative. Looking forward to your future content. Peace and blessings!
