    Everytime I watch an episode, I think I will never watch another one that could impress me more, but was I wrong. Francine, I am truly thankful to have watched this interview and learned so much about your Yemen associates. God bless with your upcoming nuptials and keep being safe, sis. Thanks again Xavier. 👏🏾👏🏾

    Honestly, I am so proud of all of you Jamaicans :) I love watching every single one of your episodes because it makes me so proud to see all of you succeeding and showing the world that US visible minorities (including myself) are JUST as intelligent as the entire world. As a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf, I often see people assuming I am ignorant just because of my appearance. Unfortunately, the media doesn't portray any good for certain religious/ethnic groups. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you all to KEEP SHINING!!

    She's lovely.and very courageous to take that job. I've heard Yemen is one of the most fertile countries in the area so when she spoke about the food I wasn't surprised. Yemen in Arabic is Yaman that's why our Jamaican yah man would sound like that to them. It's a country with rich cultural heritage. Such a pity about the civil war.

    Yemen people are really nice. Had a student at Coventry University, who I supervised at last minute to get through his final year project. He surprised me with an expensive gift and no matter how I refused it, he wasn't taking no for an answer. Here in Swansea I had another Yemen student, OMD, overly nice. Francine is so correct.
    I would love to visit there.

Rather it is one's resilience, persistence, fortitude & the belief that quitting is not an option, ultimately, can determine one's outcome. Your story is to be told as you continue to soar.
