Nairobi has truly been our saving grace. Journeying in Africa hasn't always been easy. At times, between the two of us, when it came to our attitude about being here, we hadn't always been fully on the same page. In this conversation, it brings about the discovery of how we now seem to be aligning our perspectives in achieving a better life on this beautiful continent.

Even kenyans back in the states have their own community where kenyans help each other ...
This is true in NY/NJ, that's how i started traveling to Kenya 10+ yrs ago.
I’m very excited and hopeful to see African American community grow and flourish in Kenya. As you’ve rightfully said, you need to build a community to help each other with transitions. More successful transitions will encourage more AA to make the journey and before we know it, we’ll have our 46th tribe birthed in Kenya. I support your work and wish you all the best.
Truly much appreciated!
What is the 46th tribe??...l am so interested and curious.
Kenya is made up of 45 tribes. The AA community might in future add to that number.

We are loving the quality upgrades on your video. Here's just a note from someone older than you guys. Don't let the burden of the lack of Unity between the people weigh you down. The powers that caused this division have created a mess that won't be solved by one or two families. Do your very best & Trust that the Creator has a better Plan than we do to bring us together. Be at Peace it's unfolding everyday. ❤
I feel the same way about not going back to the States. My comfort is here in Kenya. We just have to build a community to gives us comfort. We must in the same area or close proximity to make it a reality. ❤️🖤💚💯✊🏿
Great comment , I’m hoping to be part of the solution in the near future to work together.
I strongly feel the same way. No reason for me to move back to Babylon permanently. I know I will persuade my children and grandchildren to make Africa their home. I and my daughter have been teaching them all their lives. They will be ready. I need to Be the catalyst for their EXODUS!
Like Chinese china’s town ❤
Kenyan here living in America.
I can attest when you land in Kenya, all the burdens are finally lifted from your shoulders you literally feel a sense of ease but the moment you land in America, anxiety, depression, sadness just settles in automatically.
I’m happy for y’all.
So true 💯. Thank you 🙏🏾.
The feeling of “a weight lifted off my shoulders “ is experienced by everyone leaving America for a holiday or retirement.
This is why I turned down an offer to go to the US. That's not living.
You’re exactly right 😊
Arriving in Nariobi, Kenya within three weeks. I am going to test the vibe and see if I will live there permanently. So far, I love what I see via video.
Nice!
Karibu Kenya! Hope you will like your visit here!
@@TinakishO Thank you Tina, I hope so too 😊
Will you be here for the march 24th event?
@@TheResidentialTourists Yes, I will, I will let you know when I arrive.
Enjoy Nairobi friends. I will be back in Nairobi from Mauritius in 5 days.
Awesome!
Love this intro; your production quality has grown by leaps and bounds! If you look at your video in Rwanda a couple of years ago, you look like totally different people. Younger and more vibrant. So wonderful to live in a state of hope and expectation for great things!
I'm on my 7th trip this year from the uskkka. We African americans don't realize the stress and trauma. As well as the anger we carry from living in the west until you visit our original motherland, sure we still have our struggles in our motherland but at the end of the day it's important to find your grounding with friends and family..I've found the best sister and family ,so when I arrive I'm always welcomed to be at home..
Yes l am grappling with these issues here in Rwanda l keep a tight circle lesson learned l thought as a community we would help each other get thru but nooooo
Definitely feel you.
Wow 👌 👏, this is beautiful, great conversation and the way forward family, assist in making Africa 🌍 Great once more by bringing the missing puzzles together for the benefit of the black community
Ugandan here. Very interesting conversation.. Been following you guys from the time you landed in Rwanda and learnt so much from all this. Wish I could meet up with you guys for a chat when I am in Nairobi soon. Please don't give up.
I enjoy watching your channel. Sounds like you have peace of mind and that's priceless. I can see you guys creating a large community of African Americans interested in relocating to Kenya successfully. We are on the same page.
Welcome In kenya guys we love you today and forever fill at home ,because kenya is home for all of us ❤🎉 , I was born and raised in kenya .
If Black Americans want to come to Africa please understand its not easy you need money. So you should come with money, as tourist or visitor, come with an expatriate job, come with a remote job, come as an entrepreneur, or come to retire.
And for children its good they come for holiday once in a while just to prepare their mindset. Nairobi is good for starters coz it gives the luxuries of the west and the African way of living simultaneously
Yes. If you come to stay in Niarobi if, you're not retired with a income of $24,000 a year or can land a volunteer job that will sponsor you. You must establish a company or have a company to show you have a $100,000 usd in the bank to prove you have the investment dollars to spend in Kenya. Which will be a task for the average Kidnapped Afrikan. But, visiting is a great start to familiarize yourself to Kenya. It's a Beautiful country and BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL. ❤️🖤💚💯✊🏿
Most Importantly come with an _OPEN MIND_ ready to morph into the Organic YOU! #bliss #tranquility #freedom
@@doinggarveytv5894on the $100k, it's not true. Thats only in paper. Nobody bothers to check such.
You are on point 100%
Hey fam! I love watching you guys. BUT, Sometimes it’s challenging to hear important points in your dialogue, due to wind, echos, and other things. May I respectfully recommend purchasing individual 🎤 mics. Love your content!❤
I’m so happy to see how well you guys are assimilating into the Kenyan society! I truly believe that this is your calling and a blessing for future expats transitioning to Kenya and the continent! Congratulations, continued success, growth and blessings!!! 💯🙏🏽🙏🏽
It would have been great if they came to Kenya first. However, going to Rwanda allow them to compare and appreciate the difference. Kenya being English speaking is a plus.
Thank you kind sir
The effervescence of life in Kenya is beautiful. Every morning is full of life and expectations. In the US, life is a stressful routine with undertones of fear for our people. Learn Swahili, it's not difficult. Best of wishes.
Are you guys learning Swahili the main language of Kenya??? I think that’ll help more in relation to integrating with locals. I think learning the language of any country you go (e.g. Kenya, Rwanda etc.) to live in is essential ❤
Fam. The Kenyan population we are normally around in Nairobi certainly speak English.
Listening to and watching you two has made something even clearer to me. It's an individual journey when we go to Africa or in fact any other country other than where we are from because I can see that the two of you although a family and with family are having slightly different feelings and connections as it relates to being there. Which is to be expected because we are all unique human beings but i see it and I know that its really a personal journey even when we are with family. I always enjoy what you share. Keep up the good work. Praise be to Allah.
welcome back home africa is our home africa is our motherland
This is a major talk. Y’all vibe is crazy.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks!
Wow thank you!
Am in awe of how both of you are positive about Nairobi and how respectfully you are referring to the locals as your African brothers and sisters. They say whatever you give out to the universe is what the universe will give back for you. The positive energy you are giving out is what you will receive for the where you are right now on the universe. Wishing you guys all the best.
Greetings Residential Tourists, let me be very clear in that, darkness “ primordial waters” is the essence of all things and where light derives from. I am thinking that it will take many millennia before Africans on the continent of Africa see their brothers and sisters in the diaspora as truly their enslaved cousins. Because of hundreds of years of tribalism as well as colonialism, we will be seen as foreigners for decades to come. Queen I am totally elated that you are finally pleased in Nairobi Kenya as I was really concerned about you for a while there. You both are in a great environment and surely you both will make the best of it. The FOI will always be there and here for you both. Thanks so much for sharing and l look forward to your next episode.
Just awesome to see the conversations. As men sometimes we struggle with communication so this is good to see even if the context may not apply. Unity is strength, so as an African i would dare say you cannot unite with continental Africans if you cannot unite with your fellow African Americans or disapora. If we are all united with our own then when we come together the unity is stronger. A house divided will fall.
Diasporans network with each other. Form clubs like book club, soul food clubs, dancing clubs etc. Come together every weekend if possible and share and just meet up for catching up sakes. Be intentional about building the black diaspora community in NAIROBI.
I love that you talk about how to build a community!
Thank you!
Asalamu Alaikum Residental Tourists! I 💜 your videos. Thank you both for what you’re doing. I so look forward to meeting you both in person.
You guys are looking much better, wishing you success 👏
Find a venue or restaurant and agree with management to have Black diaspora meet ups once a week. A place where people can show up when new in Nairobi and seeking community. Do things like networking with locals night. Invite organizations for talk etc.
I’m sure Nairobi street kitchen owners can work with you guys. Just reach out to the management. I want see you guys flourish and feels at home.
They have this kind of meetup in Accra. They play games & have a potluck dinner.
We must network and bring together all expats in kenya to meet, converse and check in on each other at a public location. Like you two mention, we can also meet and greet with locals that are open to learn from us.
Facts💯
And you from them...
I ask this with the purest of heart as a Kenyan... When you say "learn from us" what do you mean? Could you expound on that further please, thank you
@@itsTheTruthTeller "Learn ABOUT us, not FROM us" Truths about us, directly coming from us African/black Americans and not the stereotypes told by others I've seen on UA-cam, without our presence to defend ourselves. My apologies for not being clear on my comment.🤞
@@carlosortiz4394 sir you just edited the comment right now... Which is fine coz maybe you realized that your wording was not proper. Karibu nyumbani na kuwa na siku njema ✌🏿🇰🇪
All the best family.....I Love your conversations, deep and moving , Good days are coming
Hey Family!! Beautiful views
Believe in yourselves, have the right people on your side and opportunities are endless in my beautiful Kenya .
Happy for you both. Enjoy the Motherland. Are y’all gonna go back to Rwanda anytime soon? Rwanda is a vibe for me too. Anywhere in the Motherland is a good vibe. Enjoy your home because that’s where we all belong.
Too many other countries to explore. But Kenya is home to
@@TheResidentialTourists I am Kenyan American currently resident of Texas. I love Kenya - she’s my home. I have been to Rwanda twice and I love the vibe there. I loved your time in Rwanda and the content you created and shared while there - your restaurant and all. Enjoy the peace and quiet. I am on my way back.
Yeah fam.. that was intimate & authentic! Asanteni
Hello family, thank you for your honesty. I have a strong desire to visit this year with hopes of relocating in the future.
Please advise great area location to visit.
Hang in there apart from money you are not missing out, you have human freedom as a blk there, the police stopped me at my work place because I look suspicious, I can’t imagine what will happen to my blk son. I am from Kenya
Love this channel. Pray that you guys find a home in my country of birth. Following from Minnesota.
Thank you for coming back home in 🌍 and Karibu 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪.
good evening, Love all of the great work. Looking forward to a consultation trying to find out how to schedule it? Thank you

Greetings!
I am so thankful for the modern day pioneers that are going back to the motherland after being removed for hundreds of years sharing their journey. I am learning so much.
Peace love and light
You're safer on the continent ❤❤❤🇯🇲
Hi guys I love watching you and like you, I felt in love with kenya. Loved Diani. I'll be contacting you regarding purchasing a villa or appartment in nairobi. I live in London but considering having a place there where you are to retire.
I'm very happy for you guys! I can't wait to visit Kenya.
I am loving living in Jamaica but Nairobi seems like a good place to spend some time.
Jamaicans are every where, including here in Nairobi. Pickedup some oxtail and rice and peas from a spot yesterday.
@@p.t.9709
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
It's good to know that when I visit I will be able to get some Jamaican food.
Hoping you experience the Ramadan in Mombasa..
Salamu Alaikum glad to hear from you i understand where you coming from i live in Senegal for 4 years and i love it lam Capricorn also.
You are a wonderful couple. Be patient, opportunities will open for you. I am extremely excited about you guys.
The two of you look exactly like typical Kenyans, The only difference is your accent.
Kenyans also have different accents so you fit in perfectly
Try working in Kenya's university institutions or work with US embassy for opportunities available in Kenya and rest of Africa.
Start a lemonade/ juice business my sister❤❤❤❤We love health natural juices.
I think all African countries should allow African Americans to get their citizenship at any country in Africa that like to live in
Please press the like button for UA-cam algorithm , thank you.
I'm sooo relieved to have come across your Video. The recent deaths of 6 Female Diasporan in Africa, really shook me up, and my enthusiasm for Africa was dimmed, I will admit that I've acquired a realistic view of Africa.. Safety first. Thank you.
The realities of going to less developed parts of Africa in West African countries and Francophone countries is way more dangerous even for me as a Kenyan. I'll tell you simply: As a Kenyan, I's only feel more comfortable in terms of amenities and infrastructure in Kenya, South Africa and Botswana. Maybe Ghana fourth.

There are crimes everywhere, not too long ago there were femicide protesting in Kenya, plenty of women came out on the streets.so diaspora women have to be careful there too. Commonsense tells you that no matter where you go on this planet you have to take extra precautions to protect yourself. Don't think one country is worse than another that's where you leave yourself open. Always be vigilant no matter where just as you are back home in your own country.
@@knowledgeseeker6955 to be fair those women were not k*lled because they were women they were k*lled because they were involved in disagreements stemming from their professions and their lifestyles. I believe something is femi¢ide if the victim was k*lled solely because they're a woman but if you were doing something risky like scamming men or pro*titution etc then you being mur*ered while being involved in crime is what matters not what gender you are...
@@knowledgeseeker6955 the protest were about Nigerians in Kenya who literally dismembered a 20 yr old university girl. The realities of femicide commited by a known sexual partner is different from outrightly known militias found in west africa committing largescale blatant crimes against societies. Boko haram , fulani herder militias come to mind.
Hi Muhammads. Blessings to you both. Your granddaughter could have enrolled in some of the private high schools right there in Nairobi which teach American system. And once she is done with that there is USIU university that uses American system as well. Kenya today has a couple of international varieties that may fit people's needs depending on your $$$. I'll say being biased of Kenya as a Kenyan living in Jersey that the school structure and cultures and ethics in Kenya would be so much better over there with no restrictions when it comes to people's religion even though Kenya is majority Christian but we respect all religions just as much. Islamic religion which I think you are part of is very much welcome in Kenya and has been for centuries and for as long as I can remember growing up so. We have Hinduism, etc. So I hope you can convince your granddaughter to try Nairobi private schools to see if she likes it even if it's for a semester. Peace and blessings. 🙏
Can’t afford it😩😩
The aga Khan school is the one i liked and i couldn't afford it either, you are not alone.
@@TheResidentialTourists this is the number one reason many of us haven’t returned back home. We need an international standard school that does not break the bank! The foreigners build the schools and make it possible for us to afford. We need to partner and build schools .
Nice fam❤
Woo hey ya'll. You 'just said' THE MOST important part FOR US to remember. And that is WE the diaspora coming to the continent. - NEED EACH OTHER. Yes the Indians do it the Chinese do it and others that weren't born there support their fellow immigrant. We NEED to do the same thing make no mistake. Because for the most part we're not viewed by the locals as one of theirs. That's just a fact. So we need to stick TOGETHER like the other immigrants in order to not be eaten up by our brothers and sistas on the Continent.
Peace Family! Your statement is definitely on point. Us kidnapped Afrikans from America must create our own community to keep us safe and build a location that will reflect who we are. We have a positive culture which we can introduce to the local community that, can be a major impact on them overstanding who we are. WE'RE JUST BUILT DIFFERENT. ❤️🖤💚💯✊🏿
It seems like Mr. Muhammad was about to make another point at 7:35, I wonder what that was
The first thing you have to do is learn the language 🇯🇲🇺🇸
" I love the freedom of how I want to spend the rest of my life" Thank you Sister Adilah for that motto! I have been trying to get that message across to my family for the last 2 Years. Yes, I was supposed to leave 2 years ago. I have decided to make my exodus In July 2024❤❤ with or without anyone else. Allah made me for this journey. I lived abroad in Africa years ago. I speak French, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese and English. I am a Linguistics by profession. I am not scared and I have my plans and resources. I have chosen Nairobi, Kenya as my new starter home. I hope to see the Muhammads when I arrive in July. ❤❤❤❤As Salaam Alaikum.
Hey come through our relocation services. Let’s make it a super smooth transition
Meant to say I am a Linguist by profession.

I love y'all ❤️❤️❤️

Learn swahili and the rest will be history.
Still going to see Rwanda 1st next month. Not ready for Nairobbery yet lol
I thought Africa they don't have skyscrapers 😮. Nxt time Show us your city
Skyscraper in africa? You will be amazed
Skyscrapers easiest form of architectural design once you are done with foundation the rest is repetition more of Engineering than architecture .
Most of the Skyscrapers in the US have come up just in the last 100 years after introduction of reinforced concrete . Nothing special . Most of US development in the last 100 years .
1900 US life expectancy 47,in 1920 life expectancy 53 , in 2024 life expectancy 77 .
We don't have skyscrapers, they're using green screens in this video 😂
Stop it 😂😂@@itsTheTruthTeller
Everybody knows to leave west africa alone.
Leave west Africa alone why do you say that?
@@knowledgeseeker6955 W. Africa is advantegous to visit but the general concensus from those who've tried to settle there is - dont do it. W. Africa still suffers from a wide spectrum of internal issues that inhibit progress. E & S are better considerations for the expat.
@@uphylme9350
What issues in west Africa are you referring too?
@@knowledgeseeker6955 if u are truly interested you can conduct your own research. God bless.
@@knowledgeseeker6955the west African part of the continent is battling a lot of political instability and other moral problems like corruption, lack of steady power supply and intermittent infrastructural challenges
Acceptance comes more when you speak the national language I.e. Swahili but if you cant do that you will not fit in fully.
I beg to differ, there're Indians whose great grand parents migrated to kenya over 120 years ago & still can't speak Swahili. They do alright with English. Descendants of British colonialists still live in Laikipia without knowledge of Swahili yet make it with English. Most Chinese live in Kenya for decades with no Swahili yet they just get on ok. They simply are immune from needing acceptance within the local societies. They only focus on their lives & what makes em happy.
What keeps em comfortable is that they got their own strongly bonded communities..
@@maxwellkariuki2930But these are African Americans with our own skin and blood they would like to be fully accepted as locals they cannot behave like other races so the best way is for them to speak the language of their motherland. to speak ones language is to speak to their heart
@@lonelion8098 I get your point, they as Africans from America would wonna mingle with fellow Africans of all class structures freely & therefore Swahili would come in handy. However, in Kenya unlike Tanzania, there's no much pressure of learning Swahili promptly. One can take all their time doing alright with English. Only disadvantage is that whenever they open up their mouth to roll the American twang, they're looked at as foreigners. And when purchasing stuff from informal traders they are likely to have prices hiked up. Swahili would really break the barrier though.. My children born in America are just learning Swahili. Whenever they want to buy stuff from hawkers at Maasai market they're always accompanied by seasoned Kenyan friends not to be reaped off. I've also been coaching em the bargain culture whenever purchasing stuff. My daughter is now an expert & street smart.
With time one just gets on ok & eventually Kenya gets into the blood stream.
@@maxwellkariuki2930 I guarantee you she's not an expert and masai market is a very reasonable place where you don't have to bargain like you're being swindled coz majority of the traders there actually come from rich and middle class backgrounds. Can she go to gikomba, muthurwa, mutindwa, toi, korogocho markets? 😂 I definitely don't think so but all in all it's good that she's adapting to life here. Karibuni ✌🏿🇰🇪
Also they don't have to speak kiswahili especially if you're living uptown... There's no scenario I'm seeing in their lives where they will ever need to speak it but it won't be bad to know it... Kiswahili and sheng.... Especially sheng
Wrong.
Just adapt.....we africans we dont go out there crying how we will be received....you guys always i mean AA always come with too much expections...others want red carpet 😂
Did u watch the video?
Nonsense. Why shouldn’t African Americans come with expectations. The races come go to African countries with expectations that African will clean their toilet, care for their kids, clean their homes, and do what ever they demand of Africans. The other races have no respect for Africans. African Americans will contribute to your society without abusing Africans. Stop the Westerners media propaganda about African Americans and other diaspora people of African descent.
You prefer to believe a fallacy about a people who looks closer to you, and you worship the once that look nothing like you.
Wachana na hao, wacha wajibambe 😂
