- Migrating from the Caribbean to the USA can be a tough experience but also a very exciting and inspiring adventure that can change your life and family for generations. There are alot of downsides to this and I don't think the full story is being told. This is the reality....

I came to Florida in 2003 to my now ex husband. I was abused while pregnant no papers and he stopped buying groceries. I met some people and I was boxing from pillow to post. Had my baby sent her to my parents at 9 months. Got a lawyer and family members sent money to pay her. Because I was abuse I could file for my papers. My first job was at a Jamaican restaurant. I stayed there for 3 months and got another job with the city...went back to school got my bachelor's. My dad brought my daughter back 4 months after she left. Long story short I'm now a county worker, home owner still have my 1 child doing well in school. Farin no easy. You have to be around genuine people and support. You have to be strong and determined to make it in America. Failure was not an option for me. That was my mantra and I still live by it. Be blessed everyone.
Wish I could get you on my podcast to speak about your story if you wish
@@giovanniscott7853 how do I get in contact with you?
Same suh! “Failure is not an option.” Determination and ambition must be the driving force of your life in this place, or anywhere you find yourself.
WI NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE YOUT DEM LIVE INAH DEM OWN LITTLE WHOLE OUT HERE..DEM NEED FI GET EXPERIENCE OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO REALLY SEE WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT
Hear story. Be blessed.
As a Jamaican i approve this message 👏 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
As a Jamaican American, I can vouch for everything Dale is saying! Much love and respect. I look forward to these!
Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the realest podcasts I’ve ever listened to man!!! As a Jamaican immigrant I too can attest to most of what was shared in this podcast…..
And Jamaicans living in Jamaica you are living in paradise never forget that 😩🙏🏽
is like you never listen the podcast
I guess 25 people understood where am coming from but not you 😂😂😂anyways that’s fine have a good day
@@PipGvd yaa idiot unu yute
How did you get paradise out of what he was saying? Kmt
@@ruthwalker1128 because in Jamaica there is a lot of things y’all do that America don’t do or have
This was a great take. Thanks for sharing Dale. I lived in Spain for almost 8 months and while I love my country and our people, I grieved the life I'd return to - not using my phone in public, not being able to walk the streets any hours of the night/morning, not being able to wear my necklace on the outside, not being able to afford basic food items with X amount of cash. Now, while Europe is far from perfect, living the life opposite of what I listed above was perfect enough for me. For some of us, security is everything.
Dear Jamaicans, try as best as you can to see more of the world. You'll realise how much you've settled for - how much better you deserve. Be open to learning a new language and adjusting to other cultures and THEN decide if Jamaica is where you want to live and raise your families.
The Jamaicans should come together and pray to God the ( universe) for help we need to start loving each other again,is like Jamaica is under some very bad SPELL
When they ask and you can’t send it when they want it, they’ll say you always have excuse. They don’t know the half of what we going through living here.
Very informative and feels very authentic .... real honest conversation... more talks like these needs to be done.
Dale please encourage Jamaicans to get a certified trade or college degree in a “ skilled profession” A two year degree in nursing, CVT, respiratory and etc. We are needed in those.
CNA is saturated. Remember all over the world is coming over to the US. So, skillful careers is vital. The reason why a lot of Asians and Indians are getting a lot of Visas is because they get educated.
Get USA citizenship.
Everything is strictly facts when I just moved toUS specifically to Utah the level of Racism I faced even from homeless people was second to none after three months I was ready to go home . And the hypocrisy my Jamaican friend lost his job in the exact way you mentioned. Just have to keep our head down and keep moving.
Sorry you had to go through that .
In europe too the racism is very bad here, there are more Africans here than other black People and they are not standing up against it so it is bad for the caribbean People here 🙄
Agree! America is not a bed of roses but if you work hard you can make it! Love your point of view!
The culture shock will throw you off. If someone doesn't like you inna Jamaica you going to know but America Jah kwn if someone is nice or smiles and talks friendly to you, smh that person can be the 1st one fi throw you under the bus.. experience this 1st hand
All facts. I can vouch for all of it. Don’t take what he’s saying lightly. He telling the TRUTH!!
Bro once anyone migrate to the USA is like you clock in at a work place and can’t clock out.
I love the new setup and the whole ambiance.
I want all Jamaicans to get the opportunity to travel to the US and experience living here for at least 6 months . Like an experiment.
Me too. Nobody knows until they feel it
Me do it, sweet..more jobs, safer environment, can ride 2 o clock a mawnin, mek all $4000 a month n rent a 350-700 shared apartment but own room... send back money a yaad...yaa talk bout
Some wouldn’t last like the lazy one dem
@@dwaynesmith6278 safer?lol
@@lonerebk.stoner9036 yep safe, if a mass shooting yaa pree no pree that
Over here alot a ppl don't know... u can easily go school for free!!!! Once u get documents and u have a small job there are programs that will send u to school without u having to come up with a dollar!!! And they will even give u money to go to school!!! That is the #1 thing I love about America... me come yah and go school two times and it is that certification whe a bring me through life now over here. U nah fi go school no 2 or 4 year... u have classes that lasts months 3 months 6 months and u get a start inna life!
We can visit over 70 countries with your Jamaican Passport
It must be a fax machine! This is so true! When i got here so much surprised me especially how relatives treat you differently when you are visiting vs when you migrate.
talk about it Sarah! they treat you so differently, it's jarring. -Emsz
Lol this the realest and most unfiltered video on UA-cam right now. Thank God this never reach me in Canada only thing I know u learn how to be by yourself and pay all your bills without any help. Which it taught me how to be independent.
I'm in a country in Asia and what he said about America, goes for plenty a these "first world" countries. Dem bleed yuh dry and yuh work and cyah enjoy it cause a taxes and bills, and that family/neighbourly vibe missing. All these clean streets and "safety" are just conveniences but yuh a suffer financially and mentally.
Facts
💯
Sounds like Japan
Nonsense, if you pursue the career that pays the bills you will do well. Too many people want to live like their family did 40 years ago but times changed and you need a career not a job.
@@Abc17890 That's where I was living when I made the comment. Lol
Breda u see you, big up yourselves because them kind of reasoning ya is well needed, we need more and more conversations like these, not to discourage someone from making the move here but to get them prepared, because there is some sort of mental reset needs to be done before you can make it here. Keep these videos forwarding breda
I respect this podcast a 100%. Keep up the good work Dale 🙌👏👏
This Channel is my new favourite channel of all time, I learn so much from all the Podcasts I have seen so far, keep up the good work Dale and continue to keep it relevant.
You quicker to Homeless here inna America than Jamaica. You have to work for what you need. One hand caan clap inna America.
Youths should also be exposed to earning early like "Summer jobs" at 15yrs old +... Real talk Dale..✌🏽
I agree. Parents have to teach children good financial habits. And teach nothing in life is free you gonna pay a price for almost anything.
True my daughter went for her first interview weeks before she turned 17 and they hired her on the spot. Working for 3 months now and saved up 2000$ so far. So proud of her, she don't spend on rubbish. So proud of her, she is teaching me a lot. She transfer to her savings before anything else.
Disagree, youths should be taught how to create their own income/jobs from small legitimate hustles and NOT focus on working for people in order to get money.
@@franklyspeaking8184 both
The tax discussion is a deep one...
There's big discussion on tax, and the rich paying more.
When it's the middle class paying for the others.
The rich simply pay their tax and get it back as returns by all the loopholes.
Brought my husband to Canada. Him seh him neva work so hard yet 😂😭
Jamaican passport can take you to over 72 countries visa free. When I went to Kenya I didn't use my USA passport because I would need a visa but my Jamaican passport I needed no visa.
When I travel I use both my passports and When I am in another country I am strictly Jamaican.. and they love us!
Love this podcast yf ‼️🙌🏽.. underated at the moment but by the end of the year it's gonna be the biggest thing on UA-cam
I am glad you made this vid and speak it like it is. This is why I always say, I want everyone to get an opportunity to come and live here and have their own place and responsibility.
People just don't understand a dollar spent in any country is a dollar.
As a traveller who have been to over 70 countries the same issue we have in Jamaica exist in all countries including the US. Every country had its pro and cons.
I love the podcast Dale. It was 100 percent spot on. There’s so much more to talk about thou. I believe you will need a part 2! (Few) lol. You doing great my brother!
Make them know it nuh easy out here… you afi just have the mindset to work. Proud Jamaican 💯
Respect to you Dale for telling your Jamaican People the truth about America in every foreign country there is good and bad ❤
Is not a easy road... at the same time...enjoy the journey 💯🙌🏾🇯🇲
I remember when my dad had to get his papers through my step mom. She made our lives a living hell. I was the first born who came up to America first and my dad took over her basement, renovated it for my sisters and brother and this evil witch instead have it to her sister. She dislikes us and the feeling was mutual. How you gon love the cow and not the calf it bears?
It's unfortunate, what made her behave that way
Messed up blood just gwan fight the fight we a Jamaican enuh wi tuff like rock stone a rock stone a wi pillow suh mek dah witch deh gwan yuh here
@@bironjames9948 well worse part of it. She's also Jamaican. So yeah
@@TheRealMoanmynamesome People just bad
Talk di truth bredda 💯 ppl need fi hear these things. 💯
Thank you for coming on and speaking into it Dale. 👊🏾
There's just no community here in the USA. It can be a lonely place even after 3 plus decades
So true. I have said this over and over
You hit the nail on the head. You’re spot on.
Love this bro!! Keep up the good videos.👏🏻💯
Good topic Daley! Keep up the good work! 😃😃
This...💜 Keep doing your thing Dale😁 I had a patient today that went to school with you😊
Great video bro! Very informative and a first nuff a we a hear the real truth. Bless
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you. Looking forward to more videos like this.
This is 💯 % facts no lies told I had a terrible experience when I first came to the states but it worked out in the end
This is some good content eno dale. Keep it up, good education for me
love it bruh love it, had this playing while i was working and it was so soothing, much respect from yaad
Thank you for this information, it's quite enlightening 👌 Really opened my perspective to things.
You’re speaking truth. It is not as easy as it may seem in the US. All that glitters isn’t necessarily gold
Very informative and straight forward. Love thiis👍🏾
I like how you put this together, well executed.
Poor people or not, everyone needs to be tax
True tings! Is not that nobody want to help you, but you have to plan to start work from the day after you reach here, because you might feel like your family should put you up, but they have to work hard too so if they give you a start with a roof and a address on day 1, you should reward that by working day 2.
America is a working place. Period.
This let me respect you even more 👏🏽❤️ Couldn’t have said it any better‼️‼️‼️
Love all your platform's! Here in the State of Connecticut's capital city, Hartford, we have the largest population of West Indians, particularly Jamaicans. In fact, we just had the West Indian parade a weekend ago. There is more of a West Indian "community" We do partners, lots of restaurants etc. LA is a very different beast in comparison to many locations. It has it's own under current of crabs in a barrel. There are lots of brilliant ideas that always start in California but there are plenty of stories/movies of things that go on to people who arrive fresh off the bus with wide eyes and dreams. You have good sense and work ethic so you should continue to do well. Wishing you all the best!
We a vibe to the pod bad bro continue do yuh ting
Knowledge can’t done!!! Respect! ✊
I don't know you on a personal level but since i have been watching your videos your someone who i was able to learn alot from through your platform. Keep doing what you doing bro.
Glad Dale talk bout this👏
Solid review Dale!!
Dale yeah, I can naturally see the points you are laying here. Migrating for almost every Jamaican truly is a desire to see themself moving in a new land, obtaining opportunities offered to them where they bearly grasp the chance to grow or even further. The thought of migrating for a while or permanently perhaps just increase your livelihood with a thought of your country to improve the way you may see yourself and options. But it's not never easy starting over especially thinking to be in a new environment with different rules, traditions, and people would be a power struggle.
Great content... we need more of this
THANKS FOR MAKING THIS keep up the Good work
I’m glad you did this because some people really and truly don’t know the struggle until they experienced it. Fi real
Realest podcast outdeh, gwaan dweet 🔥
I don't even have to finish watch this to hear what Jamaicans back home will say.."well if America is so hard why you don't come back home?" Mi haaaatttte hear it. So that's why every Jamaican should get a visa and come here and see what's it like
Because it's somewhat safer! You can work 2 to 3jobs and make your way. Not many people in Jamaica do 2 to 3 jobs. Here you can work 3jobs and balance your self out until your comfortable.
It's definitely not easy here
Respect ✊🏿 fully to you Dale. You make me laugh and you make me cry. All at the same time. 🙂 I appreciate you for making this video.
Keep ur america, sme of us will never leave this paradise 😍😍😍😍😍😍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😍😍😍😍😍
Bless up Dale🔥 very informative
Thanks for breaking it down for us. It all make sense
Everything you stated is 💯% true! You just got a new subscriber.
Them wouldn't even know the struggles. I know a girl who her brother encourge har fi run off and him same one start show har bad face when she at him yard and a friend haffi end up help har. America a pure bills amd dont even talk about the taxes
Insightful vid, straight facts you spit
Thanks for the insight Dale😩😩😩 Its a lot to consider
Thank ypu for educating the masses it is needed. Additionally some Jamaicans do not pay water or electricy Portia used to talk about it. That's another issue .. that's money that would be beneficial to jamaicas economy.
Ain’t gon lie when I was a kid coming to America I think it was a big house me ago come live inna wid one big family 😂😂😂never see suh much apartment inna my life…
love the vibe of this podcast, the honesty, and the authenticity.
Hate when people say "in foreign yu have to work", bro thts the whole point ... WE WANT WORK
Work will get boring when u work and bills tek back yuh pay...
You missed the point.He is saying in Jamaica there is more of a sense of community so you can get by even if you dont have a job.You can stay in your family house if you dont live on your own and you dont have to pay rent.Like he said fruits growing on the tree you can pick them if you hungry In USA where like he said you have to stand on your own.
100% rate this respect pon this. A video like these we need
Yaah gwaan like me nuh tell everything him say inna d video 🤣🤣
your speaking the truth my brother keep it up
Solid Podcast!!!!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
big up Dale, great content
Dale, wow what an insightful podcast! I'm a Jamaican living in the UK and just came back from a trip to new york and listen.....Everything you said is true...America is so expensive I couldn't believe! I spent 1k in 3 days..on food and taxi and tip! Which wouldn't cost as much if I did a staycation in the UK.
New york was grutty and foul smelling which was a shock...it definitely looks better on the TV.
God bless every jamaican who migrate for a better life, and Dale please continue with these podcast...you're doing a wonderful job, your delivery and intellect is so refreshing to see...Thank you 😊
So new york stink like dung town a jamaica??
America hard especially some place like near to Canada side weh cold and lonely nobody no fun nthg just work to home. But we nuh plan fi live a farrin we plan fi get the bag go back and forth
The video has not even started yet and mi a laugh🇯🇲😅💯.....
I'm not complaining but I learn how to really appreciate my country.
Your speaking facts bro.......The first time I went to new york I think it was going to be all nice and dandy as soon as I went into the city. I'm seeing homeless people strung out on the streets, the place where I was staying at a place that didn't look the way how I expected it to be(not to sound ungrateful but it's true) and it was the project area of new york. Even though it was a vacation I still appreciate it and I would do it bk over and over again because it humble me and teach me life lessons.....however its a place of opportunities and have alot of job 💯.
Pure facts fam!
If yah cruff a yaad, you aguh be a bigger cruff ina dem place yah..
Big up dale jus check in respect this vlog and to see all the Jamaican coming abroad for 6 months for an expirement the living is constant depth yet opportunity is unlimited if u not a lazy human being 💪🇯🇲🇺🇸

One of the most insightful posts that immigrants need to hear…
Everything on point bro 👍
I love this …. Nothing but facts 💯
So true, I can relate to almost everything you said. Not to mention even the garbage workers have to do background checks/ finger printing/drug test ...
Talk truth nuh man! You are so right!
I appreciate the perspective on taxes... Always thought of it opposite to what you say...
Great video and informative! 👍🏾
