      I hope a lot of young ones, young adults, adults, and older adults hear her words. I've always have believed what she was saying and still do. Heck, I would say the exact same thing. But she has a better platform and can be seen and heard! As Black people, we really need to step out of our comfort zone and see what's out there.
      You go, young lady! And thank you!

      Well if u mean " higher awareness " to the fact that it's THE MOST HIGH ( GOD ) then I agree with u. Psalm 139:14, states, I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works. I'm speaking about black people mainly because we have been so brain washed in every area of our lives and we are the last ethnic group of people to believe this still to this day. This young lady seems to have grasped the essence of this scripture.

      @@elizabeththomas9485 Its funny how humans are so fearful that they even fear awareness, even if there is a thought that the specific awareness may pass through satans hands....It really doesnt matter whose hand the awareness pass through...Everything originates with the Creator of All that is in All. Everything in the whole Creation is sustained or kept in existence until or unless the Creator decides otherwise.
      There is no need to worry about the colour of a human's clay its not the clay that is important but the essence that leaves the body at death! Yes its the spirit of a human that matters....nothing else. All black and white and the-in-betweens are all mislead into putting incorrect emphasis on the color of their clay. Clearly this is the design of those who has an interest in keeping people in darkness or ignorance!
      All that I said above is self evident...Just look at the serious people on the planet the majority are blind to the colour of anyone's skin. Meaning that a persons skin is an irrelevant part of what they are doing.

    Main reason for individual differences in the Black experience in Korea is that the Korean society as a whole has not had a history of a particular institutionalized attitude towards African people.
    As a result, the individual Korean is more free to create his own independent and individual attitude towards the African according said individual Korean life experience.

    When I speak on my experience in Asia I always speak about my own. I never give other people guarantees. It really depends. Even when people ask me about my experience in the US....there things in the American media that I never experienced. Doesn’t make it not true, it’s just not my truth. Everything really varies. there’s no singular narrative. Contradicting things can be true in the same place.

      Yes, everything isn't about race but let's also acknowledge that black people have trauma and in the US so much trauma over generations - they are inserted almost neck deep in race so that's all they are trained to see. Having said that, they are really encouraged to take great effort to cleanse and heal themselves as much as possible of those issues and distortions. Getting out of the US usually allows for you to begin that psychological healing ---- so, when they travel they can enjoy the experience in the highest capacity. Most people are really nice every where you go and even if someone is rude. A. It's not going to feel as unwelcoming as in the US, B. You're going to be so happy to be traveling and exploring that no one can really ruin your day if anything were to crop up. Most countries are much safer than the US and the populations for the most part are more educated and nurtured by their governments so a lot less people fall into crime.

    Well Ranzo you have found another gem. Zizi possesses the same positive and energetic aura as Mr. Q. Both Zizi and Mr. Q allow their light to shine through. I would love to be in their presence and to be bathed by their exuberance for life and living. Today is the first time I truly understand the phrase, "Jesus is the Light of the world." When I observe Mr. Q and Zizi, I see their light and I would love to be in their presence to be washed by their light. The children in the school (not the bad school)she teaches see her light, the new student eventually saw it and wanted to be close to it, hence she is the first to hug her. It's their way of saying, we want what you have to be infused in us. Let your soul touch my soul.
    The thing about both Mr. Q and Zizi is they are not fake. I agree with her phrase about "20 seconds of crazy courage..", I do practice that but I fall short of the aura. I got to work on the "light" part.

    What a fresh perspective to look at the power of being different! There are soooo many videos on YT that focus so heavily on the downsides of being a foreigner (more specifically, being black or mixed race) in Korea yet neglect to look at the fact that ignorance/racism/colourism also exist back home & in some cases worse

    Am not sure how I missed this episode but thank you for this one. Glad you finally managed to interview my fellow South African. I love what she said about South Africa being beautiful(it's true) but there being a bigger world out there, hence am moving to either Japan or Singapore soon 🤗
    I'd also like to point out that it's NOT all South Africa where there's racism, I feel bad for her that she experienced racism here and because of her surname I assume she's from Durban, but she could also be from Johannesburg (where am from) and yes some people there can be racist against blacks but it's mostly isolated cases. Cape Town is the most racist in the country, we even call it a country in a country😃
    Some rural areas in South Africa, especially in the farms, there's racism against black people, we SOMETIMES see it reported in the news. In summary & IN MY OPINION & EXPERIENCE, Racism in South Africa is mostly internal & Indirect than external (physical) & direct. Racist people don't necessarily or always say bad things to you directly but in certain cases they do. In some companies they'll make you feel that you are black by their actions, weather corporate or not (I've seen that in my line of duty as an external auditor, auditing different companies, especially small to medium ones). I have personally NOT experienced direct racism but have seen some black people not being treated well by their opposite race counterparts (could be white, Indian, even coloured people), but am seeing more positive and unity by day and as I've mentioned before, direct racism cases in South Africa are minimal and mostly isolated. Media always shows bad but there's certainly more good happening here between black people and other races In the country. THAT'S MY EXPERIENCE & OPINION. Maybe other South Africans can tell their side of experience of racism here at home.
    Thank you Ranzo for this great interview once more, she's amazing. I Love her😗 and pray that she continues to shine as she is already shining. I love both of your positive energy & mindset and great positive outlook of life, I don't like negativity in any way myself. Blessings, Peace Love and Light to you all 🤗💜

    Another tremendous video Ranzo. Your work will surely stir many to action. As you are aware humans are taugh to see each other as enemies and its not restricted to any race. There are global cultures which demonize other cultures perpetually. So in all cultures dark is projected as bad etc....people just need to check the dictionaries and see that light/white is defined in positive way while dark as negative.
    I am saying that the problem goes beyond a persons background since even in India the lowest casts in Gujarat are not black people just the indians with the generally darkest complexion. Similarly to the darkest people in Philippines, or anywhere else.
    People must understand that the tendency for humans to divide is rooted in what we have lost as Myles Munroe eloquently described. Mankind has taken the path of division rather than the path of Oneness that the Creator of all intended. Hence this is at the heart of all our problems on the planet.
    This proclivity to divide goes much deeper than race which is explain why humans keep dividing everything including as many would say "why bring religion into this". My question is why separate it?. The reason why humans separate thing is down to our state of existence...man has chosen division rather than unity.
    This validates Bob Marleys work of unity....His work was one of unity and hence the powers that be understands the power of his work and sought to stop the unstoppable, but I digressed.
    Enough said on this topic. As Bob would sing "we have so much things to say right now!"

    I find it really frustrating when people frame black people analyzing systemic issues and calling them out as "playing the victim". I've worked in several countries and my race is seen very differently in each place. Racism is everywhere and I've had incredible experiences despite that but pretending the racism didn't exist doesn't help. If you don't call it out it can't be worked on or fixed.

    • @kianab756

      Exactly! Pointing our systemic issues doesn’t mean playing the issues. “Emancipate your mind”, yeah, but you can emancipate a racist system

    • @jammydoughnuts
      @jammydoughnuts 4 роки тому +1

      I found it frustrating that she says we should "do something special" to show other people what one can do as a black person rather than just "shouting and screaming" lol...how invalidating to those who continue to fight for us globally, and have been the driving force that the world needs to change. She literally comes from South Africa, where people had to protest against apartheid, shouting and screaming in the streets. It's strange that she thinks we have to do something extraordinary, besides fighting against racism, to prove that we are have value.
