      @@TNJ-gn2gv You must have misunderstood the context. The strength and character of African women is defined as mentally, and spiritually strong. Unfortunately the fabric of the world dictates that your strength determine your ability to make it. Akinyi would not have survived the hardship had she been weak. There is nothing sexy about weakness. Do not twist things. Even in sports. The harder you can endure the better your chances to improve and survive the hardship. Do not fool yourself and think that the inability to withstand hardship is a quality, it is weakness. Unfortunately it is like that in most comparable cases. Akinyi did not end up in the streets. Had she been week, she most probably would have given up. Now , in the African context, the strength of the African women build generation of fighters because of their ability to withstand alot of hardships as compared to an ordinary person. Certainly that makes them superior in that context. Those Cliche narratives they teach you to be super sensitive, will weaken you. My advice, always strive to do your best under any circumstance and it will one day pay off. Trust me..

    When I saw the tittle ...I thought you just wanna more fans to view your story....but thank God I stopped by and listen to the story...I have learned something as an African lady...becoz 90 percent of us thinks that when we got married to a white man we are done with poverty like we will be happy and things will be just perfect everything will be perfect...we forget that he's also a human being with problems... thanks Akinyi for sharing... your a good example of good couple and example...this is the meaning of commitment and companionship...to be together through thick and thin.. God bless your family...

    Proud of you for your strength and bravery. Sometimes we don’t really appreciate what we have. I moved to the USA 5 months ago on a fiancé visa and the only struggle I had was adapting to a dfrnt environment. No one is always brave enough to express the challenges they face in a foreign land. I pray God gives you more strength and blesses you guys even more. I honestly don’t know what I would have done in your situation. I cried a lot when I came here because I felt alone but my husband tried to give me everything. It was the first time I was away from family. You are a strong woman Akinyi. I would love to meet you one day. I watch your videos and I told my husband about you. More blessings to you guys

    A lesson to our girls back home thinking dating/marrying a white man means going to swim in wealth, that's not always the case, interracial marriage or not don't get into it with a perspective of the possible opportunities like money and etc...do it because of love and be ready to commit and aim at growing with each other.

Just like David and Anna, they too started off tough and eventually things will come around. Stay strong and it will only get better.
