    Jamal is a great down to earth American who has brought in a lot of new developments and has contributed tremendously in the Zambian basketball community. He coached and mentored me before I left for the US on a full basketball scholarship at GCCC Panama City, Florida. From there I was recruited (yet on another full basketball scholarship) to a university in South Carolina in the NCAA D-2 on the Peach-belt conference. I am the first female in Zambia to get a full basketball scholarship to the US. I also worked with Jamal under Miles and Associates program, a student mentor-ship program encouraging students all over Zambia on how to excel through both academics and sport combined. Thanks Jay! Keep doing what you doing.

    I just found out by looking up statistics on travel from the US to other parts of the world this year that Africa is the least visited annually by US citizens. Only between 1-2% of those who travel outside the US each year go to Africa, which is really a shame. Support Africa if you can.

    I like this guy he is a "do-er" and not a "talk-er". Also he is not overly critical of others that does not follows his footsteps unlike other diaporians from the United States on youtube, and "we know who they are on youtube", but have a pragmatic approach to people choices whether they want to relocate to the continent or not. He is a very smart guy, and really helping and accomplishing something other than "talking", but rather "walking" the walk.

You may have been born and raised in the diaspora, but your roots, your ancestors, have been Afrikan long before your forced sourjern in Amerikkka. Do not accept the false narrative that Afrikans hate you or do not identify with our AA, south American or Caribbean brothers and sisters. We know that we are one. And we know that you are one of us. Come back home. This is your land. You are welcome anytime anywhere on the continent. Come home!!

    Excellent interview Woda! He gave great reasons and information on how and why he moved to Africa/Zambia. He told us who he was, where he was from and when and why he moved to the continent. Love that he took advantage of his options and left this racist country behind. Shout out back to you from the DMV. For those that don't know that means the three state area of the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C), Maryland and Virginia. I'm born and raised in D.C. I love that he's giving back to the youth of Zambia by operating the basketball camp. It's about time that African youth take advantage of their height and ball handling skills to play basketball. They can go to college free in the U.S. on basketball scholarships, then go on to the NBA and become millionaires. Thanks for the informative interview Woda.
