Many, if not most, of Diasporas are looking to Africa simply to find rest. It's a journey. Whereas one country may not meet you where you are or, where you destine to be, we are learning that the buck doesn't stop there. The beauty of Africa has so many places to explore. Just so happens that Kenya, for us, has all the comforts of HOME. Beautifully, we've discovered many others seeing, feeling and thinking the same. We were fortunate enough to host a wonderful meet and greet with some incredible Diasporas who travelled here. Such a purely divinely experience it was. So much so, words are really inadequate to describe. However, we've attempted to do so in this episode of our Intimate Conversation.

I felt the same. Healing , hope and plans for our future to retire in kenya.
Amina to my Second return Home, and this time it will be Kenya! ❤
Most welcome to Kenya
@@MJ-ye7dd Thanks 😊
My heart is filled with JOY to see how happy you both are!!
❤️
This reflection is a benefit to all of us. I appreciate your honesty. Gives us a lot to think about and to be thankful for. Thanks for sharing.
I hope that kenya tracks well for the future of Africa and the diaspora.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Have you two noticed how young you have became? I think you are at peace. You look gorgeous 😍
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is also a call and a motivation for those returning to the continent having left for one reason or another.
Greetings Residential Tourists, “The Muhammad’s”. The journey back to ourselves will be a long and difficult one due to the mental colonial mindset, Western norms, folkways and traditions to include Western religions that has been instilled in the minds of Africans on the continent as well as Africans in the diaspora. With that said, I think that Kenya is in fact that place to start or restart. Best wishes on your journey there on the continent- Kenya and thanks for sharing your most intimate moments with us.
I have been studying Africa especially Kenya for 7 years. I visited last year as I also have an NGO there and I connected with the place immediately even in the Dessert with the tribes. I think being raised in Jamaica in the country jungle helped as the similarities are so similar. Will be moving for good this year. Blessings to this wonderful couple.
Africa is underpopulated since Africa is 12 times the size of India . India population 1.43 billion . Africa population 1.46 Billion .
Black diaspora including Afro-Americans(45-50 million),Afro-Brazilians(at least 90 million),Afro-Mexicans, Afro-British, Afro-Palestinians, Afro-Iraqis, Black Ethiopian Jews, Afro-Turks,Afro-Iranians etc at least 400 million can all fit in the continent and still more land .
This is so true, they (them-if you know) want to keep our population so low. I love all our African/Black Americana and any Afro diaspora out there to feel home
So true don’t let the racist colonial maps trick you to thinking there isn’t enough for every individual of black decent physically, spiritually, financially and socially lots lotsa love from Kenya ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us, I always look forward to your perspectives of living life on the African continent.
You are truly, truly welcome, Ms. Sharon! We humbly appreciate your viewership, well wishes and support 🙏🏾.
Watched your first visit of Nairobi on a train back to Mombasa and compared with now...the two of you are on to something BIG! Wish you all the best!
Truly much appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
ONE LOVE - ONE MotherLand
What a blessing to be able to walk in your calling, and have others see and support your vision. God is using you in a mighty way, and I am so grateful to witness this amazing journey. He's restoring you mentally, physically and spiritually for the tasks to come. As always, you have my support, before and after I get there 🙏🏽
Thank you so much and the gift!!
Thank you family for paving the way for us that are coming and welcoming families to be apart of a positive Community with so much resources. I’ve live on the Continent before and never had a Community or resources to look forward to.
Well you do now
Peace & Blessings to u RT family. May the most high God continue to bless you and your entire family.❤ 🙏🏾 🤲🏽 🎉
Each Experience is Unique
I go for Kenya as the utmost too amoung few many other beautiful african countries.tanzania,zambia,nigeria Ghana ,Uganda.but kenya🎉🎉🎉is IT if we talking abt the diaspora.i love it for them there's js something about it .and am zambian
Thanks. I feel lucky as a Kenyan even though I hate our politics with passion. Even in the politics we get things right once in a while... we realize when we go to far into the wrong and find a way to right the ship. It's just not fun when things are wrong. Having engaged citizens helps. We don't all run away. I give credit to even the "worst" politicians because they're not 100% stubborn. I really don't know what makes Kenya good but it has to be spiritual -- something we can't see. We don't have the mineral resources that many other countries have. Maybe it's the painful fight against colonization.
@@panafrican.nation I have noticed that Kenyans are not happy with the current leadership in place.i truly hope thy make things right and do right by their people.kenya is a beautiful country I too wish and plan to visit you guys are blessed ❣️ ,it's js the leaders who have to really do right otherwise.i hope soon 🙏
@@panafrican.nation n u knw what ?yes it might be spiritual too ! Maybe Kenya has a good n peaceful atmosphere a healing one too I have wtched people say this so u never knw .people feel a specific type of way with each place they go ❣️
Can't agree more ,my dad is Zambian n my mum is kenyan...
@@chilombomululu6034that's just politics and Kenyans are demanding lot even Jesus would not have it Easy in this country believe me.
The system you guys are building up is definitely a sure formula & a smooth pathway for those members of the Diaspora of African descent intending to reconnect with their African roots or even to visit...There's just no doubt it got the fingerprints of growing larger than you anticipated. Only requires a vision, networking & constant nurturing..
Praise the Most High!! This is so nice to see. I am so happy for you guys. I've been following you for a while. I'm the one who as you about ATL what to go see there? What Ive learned from the you tube streets is the more traveled and educated you are , your African journey will be less stressful. I hope to see the footage of some of what you are speaking about. Well Deserved. This is what I wish to see and hear more of. Not the drama. You guys look so happy, rested, and blessed. I am glad folks stepped up and stepped in. Congrats to you both.
Love, power, and gods blessing on the mission you were destined to initiate and complete. God bless you both on your journey and bringing others on your journey to prosper in our motherland! Thank you❤
Eid Mubarak!!! So happy and excited for you both. I truly don't believe in mistakes. We are always where we are suppose to be. You were meant to be in Kenya and I pray (know) your new business will be a huge success! I also believe that Louise will always be with you as your angel. Isn't it amazing that Allah gave her the opportunity to visit and fall in love with Kenya, before returning to Him. She was very proud of you, and had no doubt that you would be successful! When I went to Ghana to teach for 2 years in 2006, Mother Tynnetta Muhammad said to me, "our cortex is highest when in the Motherland. So, always follow your gut feeling. It is from Allah." You may not have known how you'd feel or what you'd do in Kenya, but your gut was telling you to go and be there. Once you followed your gut, Allah manifested the rest. May He continue to bless and guide you both. InshaAllah, I'll see you there in Kenya soon! Much love to the family!
Taqabalallah minna wa minkum. Mashallah.
Love you sis!
I am glad you all are feeling at home in Kenya. What I did not know when I started my journey of discovering my ancestral roots is that I and many other Black Americans have DNA in East Africa due to mitigation of African before the slave trade. As a result, my DNA is primarily West and East Africa, with a small part being North and South. I said all that to say maybe that is why you are feeling at home in East Africa because it was home before the mitigation to western Africa.
Am so happy for you. Always know and feel at home ❤
Great job family for being you shalom
You two are the anointed ones
All Praise Due to The Most High🙏🏾. We just vessels 🙂.
Happy to hear you are Feeling at home
So thrilled to watch this conversation about something big! I never thought I could see this level of appreciation of the motherland, Kenya at that😊.
I have seen nasty propaganda that we in the motherland will not welcome our own since we sold them in the first place. "Filanga free' aka feel at home as would say😂
I can't wait for you to experience village life❤ Upon my return, I will make that my duty. Please contact me although currently in Canada.
❤❤❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Kenya has very good education to the children including High Schools, Universities. For family is option.
I like that Newsboy Cap, Old School that you got on there my Brotha. I can't STOP staring at it. I'm a big hat and cap guy too. That one looks like the "Houndstooth Tweed" design or so. Hey, check out "G The Hat Guy," he's got some nice content for brims. SALUTE, RESPECT! ✊🏾💪🏾👉🏾👍🏾✌🏾💯
A Brother after my own heart 🤜🏾🤛🏾. We could definitely vibe together. Indeed it is. You hit it on the nail👍🏾. Ok. Good lookin'✊🏾. He's on UA-cam??
@@TheResidentialTourists What's happening! I see, "Houndstooth" it is, cool, cool. Yes, that's my channel actually. But, I usually tend to keep it low-key when I'm consuming other folk's content though. I'm in the Business, and been for several years now. Retail, festivals, events, etc, in my area. I'm relocating back to the MOTHERLAND in next few myself, so I consume your content and few others too. You folks LOVING Kenya more than Rwanda though, it seems. SALUTE ✊🏾💪🏾👉🏾👍🏾✌🏾💯
BROTHERS and SISTERS: WE ARE still EVOLVING
Love yall
We love ya' right back 💯
i hope Black Americans find happiness in Africa, although they have added so much to the US.
Residential tourist can also consider US office in Black Atlanta to make the transitions even most efficient for those interested and allow both y'all to travel back and forth targeting all US cities over time starting with one city tour per year then increasing and spreading tours to other cities depending on the response .
You can share your work and also promote your products in person .
Pretty good idea.
The hat is back 🎉😅
That's riiiggghhhttt😅
Thanks!
Hey thanks!!

Been following y’all for a minute now. Question, can you guys make a video on why y’all chose Nairobi over Mombasa? I’m a Kenyan based in the 🇺🇸 for over 20 years… planning to relocate back home. Mombasa is been my ideal place since I am older and want to get closer to Allah. I feel like Nairobi is for young and hustlers lol.
Would love to hear your views on Mombasa vs Nairobi differences
We have done that. Mombasa is amazing just needed less heat and humidity
@@TheResidentialTourists oh you’ve done a video about that? Let me go through y’all videos and ease my fasting ( Ramadan) today lol.
Nairobi has similar and closest energy to some American cities. It is vibrant and, to some degree, cosmopolitan. It has a rich, not fully developed, night life. Nairobi also presents hugh potential for starting and growing business compared to the surrounding countries.
Nairobi is more developed and you can literally get anything you want
Secondly its located centrally giving you more options to visit other part of Kenya with so much ease..
Where in Mombasa? Am setting in south coast. Like you I can’t with the movement in Nairobi. I want a slower pace of life and you will find everything in Diani that you need from hospitals with proper care to shopping necessities, restaurants, activities galore. Give it a thought and if slow is the thing twende twende.
Your body will adjust to the heat after a while though I must say when the monsoon winds head back out then you will feel it but ac will help you out!
This is the place to be. You literally have a blank sheet of canvas.
Shout out to "The Hat".

Hi family are you now living in Nairobi?
Greetings! Yes ma'am 🙏🏾
Kenya and Southern African countries including Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana etc were settler colonies and were supposed to be transformed to what America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil etc are today .
But liberation movements in the continent stopped this .
In America the native Indian resistance failed to stop white settlement .
In Kenya 500k-1 million Kenyans displaced/died in the liberation struggle .
Thurgood Marshall did not want a repeat of what happened to Ethnic minority groups in the US particularly black to happen in Kenya hence the protections given to white, Asians(Indians, Japanese, Chinese etc),Arab, Persians etc .
Arabs and Persians have been part of Kenya coastal communities at least 500-1000 years .
To this day at least 1-2 million White Kenyans live in Kenya and there is an uptick of another 500k-1million white from other regions including Italians in Malindi and Germans in Nyali with America white being the latest largest group as investors particularly in tech startups with VC funding from Silicon valley California .
Google and Microsoft and other tech have opened centers in Kenya and Ghana and the US has become Kenya's largest trading partner surpassing Uganda .
NBA has opened a new office in Nairobi Kenya with 5 star champion Ron Harper building 6000 courts across schools in Kenya .
MOZAMBIQUE and TANZANIA with the help of Julius Nyerere provided training grounds for liberation movements in the continent supporting Ugandans John Okello (liberated blacks in Zanzibar from Arab rule) and Yoweri Museveni . Rwandans Paul Kagame and Fred Rwigema , Zimbabweans Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo . South Africans Thabo Mbeki , Albert Luthuli and Oliver Tambo .
By 1965 ANC had established a guerilla training camp in MOROGORO TANGANYIKA .
@@papd3532White Kenyans are around 40k max, they are barely noticeable in most parts of the country
You're too overzealous in your information outpour which is somewhat annoying & clownish, why not compile a booklet of your information & share it all at once? Just a suggestion.
Owning land for me is a BIG DEAL for very powerful reasons. The truth is that "Coming Home" equates to a really tough path of acquiring land ownership in Africa for the diaspora. Anybody with a buck can own land in America, even if you don't live there... Repatriation is being dramatically stymied as long as countries like Kenya make it mandatory for you to live there legally before citizenship and citizenship is required before being allowed to own land! I'm rested enough and now want to move to the next level.
You only need residence visa to own land in kenya. Not citizenship
@@TheResidentialTourists Refer to the Constitution and associated Land Acts.
@@TheResidentialTourists In Kenya, non-citizens face specific restrictions when it comes to purchasing land, particularly agricultural land. The relevant laws and regulations governing land ownership for non-citizens are as follows:Constitution of Kenya, 2010:Article 65: This article stipulates that non-citizens can only hold land on a leasehold basis for a maximum term of 99 years. Non-citizens are not permitted to own freehold land.Article 66: The article allows Parliament to regulate the acquisition and disposition of land by non-citizens. This provides the legal framework for subsequent legislation on this issue [❞].Land Control Act (Cap 302):Section 6: This section explicitly prohibits the transfer of agricultural land to non-citizens or private companies where the majority of shareholders are non-citizens. This means that non-citizens cannot directly acquire agricultural land [❞] [❞].Land Registration Act, 2012:This act reinforces the provisions of the Constitution regarding land ownership by non-citizens, ensuring that non-citizens can only hold land under leasehold tenure for up to 99 years [❞].Land Act, 2012:Part V: Details conditions under which land leases can be granted, transferred, or renewed, including to non-citizens. It reaffirms that leases to non-citizens cannot exceed 99 years [❞].Foreign Investment Protection Act (FIPA):This act provides protections for foreign investments in Kenya, including provisions related to land leases. While it encourages foreign investment, it also aligns with the constitutional restrictions on land ownership [❞].Key Points:Leasehold Only: Non-citizens can only hold land on a leasehold basis, with a maximum lease term of 99 years.No Agricultural Land: Non-citizens cannot directly acquire agricultural land. They can invest in agricultural land indirectly through companies where the majority of shareholders are Kenyan citizens.Compliance with Local Regulations: Any leasehold acquisition by non-citizens must comply with national and local regulations, including zoning and land use laws.Resources:For more detailed information, you can refer to the official documents and resources provided by the Kenyan government:Constitution of Kenya, 2010Land Control ActLand Registration ActLand Act, 2012These laws ensure that land ownership and use are regulated to protect local interests and promote sustainable development.
@InventionSchool you can buy on a leasehold for 99 years with the option to renew for another 99 years. Many expats own land here. Even locals by land on leasehold
@@TheResidentialTourists Here is a twist. Men who are married to Kenyan women can apply for permanent residency in Kenya. This residency status falls under Category D of the permanent residence categories as per the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011. Here are the key points regarding the process and requirements:Eligibility: The applicant must have been married to a Kenyan citizen for at least three years, and the marriage must be valid and ongoing.Application Process: The application is done online through the eFNS portal. The necessary documents include:A duly completed application form.Two current passport-size photographs.Copies of all permits or dependent passes issued in Kenya.Copies of valid passports of both the applicant and the Kenyan spouse.A copy of the marriage certificate.A joint sworn affidavit if the marriage was solemnized outside Kenya.A certificate of good conduct.A valid tax compliance certificate.A valid foreigner certificate (Alien card).An application letter by the spouse.Fees: The processing fee for the application is KES 5,000, and the issuance fee is KES 50,000 [❞] [❞] [❞].Once granted, permanent residency allows the holder to live in Kenya without needing to renew permits continually. They can also work without a separate work permit, attend educational facilities, own property legally, move freely within Kenya, and access social services [❞] [❞].For more detailed information, you can visit the Directorate of Immigration Services website [❞].

@Shampah.The.Emo.Rapper we gave those out to the guest
The US could be like this, if it was still in the Commonwealth.
During white British colonial rule in the continent 19th/20th century , some white South Africans(Dutch Afrikaners) were moved by the British from South Africa to Kenya(both white British Colonies) and populated the rift valley farm lands of Kenya also called white highlands .
The white in Kenya were from Elite backgrounds of Irish, British , Scottish etc extraction and considered farming brute hence the movement of Dutch South Africans to Kenya .
The British considered them inferior illiterate whites hence relegated to farming , hunting etc in Kenya . The white South Africans also had establishments in Kenya capital Nairobi .
During Kenya's independence struggle in the mid 20th century armed uprising by black Kenyans and increasing deaths of whites forced significant portions to flee to South Africa where they reinforced segregation .
During South Africa's independence struggle Daniel Moi Kenya's president , suspicious of a plot to eliminate NELSON MANDELA IN ROBEN ISLAND PRISON by white south Africans , decided to financially support Pan African Congress leader CLARENCE MAKWETU as an alternative in case MANDELA was gone .

Where are the girls? I’m always concerned how the children adjust. Do they have opportunities or is this time of your life taking away from theirs? Moving has been difficult for me because I am afraid to disrupt my children stable life. My parents did that moving from
Country to country and the instability did our family no good financially and then they parted. Horrible childhood experience of instability and my parents were godfearing decent folks… I see their error and I think had they remained in one place it would have been better for us all
The girls are fine. In fact, even better now that we are in Nairobi. Go check some of the other videos. Also, they are teenagers, so they think we are lame, old folks, and most times run from the camera 😂.
There is a 50 million housing deficit in the entire continent of Africa due to the fastest growing urbanization rate in the world .
Nigeria alone the most populous country in Africa has a housing deficit of roughly 30 million .
By 2050 the continent of Africa urbanization rate will be 60-70% from today's 50% .

Hello the Muhammads. Okay, we can't just go past your first reaction to that green looking drink whatever that was that you clearly didn't like. lolest. So what was the first drink that was nasty? Then what was the second lighter drink that the waiter brought and asked you to first taste it so you could tell him if it tasted okay? Have to ask so when I visit this December God willing I make sure not to order that. I love your honesty Mrs. Muhammad. That's me all day. 🤣😂😅. Gotta keep it real always. Nothing wrong with that. I am learning that in my early 50s now. I have got to be happy and take care of me more.

Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya was very close to Dr Martin Luther King and worked closely with Black America and Airlifted various Kenyans including Nobel Prize Winner Wangari Maathai and Obama father for school in the US .
Tom Mboya also sponsored the education of some of his Luo peoples to US and several of them married Black America women in US .
Retired US Airforce Juliette Akinyi Ochieng father was Kenya Journalist Phillip Ochieng ,educated in US by Tom Mboya and Black Civil rights leaders and Mother, Diane Thomas, was Black American .
They met at Roosevelt University .
Juliette Ochieng is a writer ,just like her late father, based in US Los Angeles CA and has visited Kenya before her father's passing .

@@papd3532 Juliette Akinyi Ochieng, the daughter of former Nation journalist Philip Ochieng is dead.
Juliette was found dead in her Dallas apartment on March 14, after being reported missing for several days.
The police were alerted after a friend of Akinyi's filed a missing person report and calls to her went unanswered. Akinyi was a journalist and a former member of the US Air Force Reserve.
Akinyi was born to an American mother and a Kenyan father, but her parents divorced when she was young, leaving her to be raised by her maternal relatives.

As a guest of US Civil rights Organizer , Charles Cobb Jr. Kenya's Independence VP Oginga Odinga was once arrested in Atlanta while in Atlanta protesting against Black discrimination together with 17 other SNCC students .
This was an embarrassment for the relations between US and Kenya after the state realized that they had locked up Kenya VP . He refused to leave jail until all the black students were released .
His wishes were granted .
In 1963, US first Black Chief Justice, Thurgood Marshall,who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Tom Mboya,Oginga Odinga and Jomo Kenyatta, was responsible for writing part of Kenya's Independence constitution particularly the part on rights of racial minorities including white, Asian/Indian,Arabs etc .
Prior to Kenya Independence 1963 racial segregation in Kenya ,white 1st class citizen, Asian/Indian, Arab second class citizen ,black Kenya 3rd class .
US first Black Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall was disappointed at the post independence polarization between Nationalists leaders President Jomo Kenyatta and VP Oginga Odinga and assassination of Nationalist Tom Mboya in 1960s . These were his close friends .
US civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King lost his life in 1968 at age 39 and his close friend Kenya independence Nationalists Tom Mboya lost his life in 1969 at the age of 38 . Both Tom Mboya and Dr Martin Luther King had 4 kids each all below age 13 .
In Kenya after Independence the President Jomo Kenyatta an ethnic Agikuyu and his Vice President Oginga Odinga an ethnic Luo disagreed on how Kenya should be governed and the land distribution system .
Oginga Odinga favored equitable land distribution to freedom fighters while Jomo Kenyatta favored capitalist accumulation of land .
In 1966 VP Oginga Odinga resigned from government creating an ethnic polarization between the two groups(Luo and Agikuyu) .
Most of Kenya's problems trace back to those two groups antagonizing at the expense of other groups in Kenya .
Very interesting
