Well I'm not struggling going crazy...I'm laughing my ass off
That's pretty good y'all
wow you black americans are so self hating, you chose to live in a non black country this is very typical of you people
Hello, Is there a specific sub division where Miss Funke lives to move to? It looks sooo beautiful there and colorful. I have started research to move there and am thinking about going at the end of this year.
Funke stating, "Get right with yourself first" was one of the realest points mentioned in this video. Love it.
Facts!
Came here to say just that!
This was good! My husband is Mexican from Mexico City and we met in Texas. We plan on retiring earlier than the retirement age in Mexico! It’s ridiculously expensive in the states.
Yes, every time we go back to visit we remember the reasons we left and cost of living is one of the big ones!
Loved hearing all of your beautiful guests’ stories and experiences. Funke’s advice particularly struck a chord-deal with your baggage before moving; don’t expect it to magically vanish just because you’re going somewhere different. So true. Thanks, Yarbros!♥️♥️
Truth is heavy sometimes but always good for the soul. Thanks for watching!
Omg Funke, what a story, working in the same hangar her father flew out of! I love these interviews, you need to do more of them! You guys keep upping your game, it's excellent to watch.
That's the plan! Thanks for stopping by and tuning in!
Man Y'all did that! I love your style of video editing and production. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of this.
Our pleasure! Thanks again!!!
I have dated out of my race and its common when people are dating out of their race race for the first time. It can be awkward at first. But you can tell if someone is genuine VS you just being the flavor of the month.
I love the older lady. Her vibe is everything. So motivating.
🤣🤣🤣 @ flavor of the month! Funke is an entire vibe. We spent a couple of days w/ her just lounging and was dead tired and we parted ways!
We are all humans not matter the color skin. Respect is the key
RESPECT is the key word.
My neighbors are people from the US, when my wife and I go to our hometown for vacations, we usually bring some stuff to them, we appreciate people, no matter where they´re from. We are just people living under the same sun, of course you´ll see bad things in the country, same as everywhere but, good things always will be better. Enjoy your life down here and try to learn as much as you can from the locals, even if it means to try things you wouldnt even think of doing before you came here, we appreciate the effort. That means food, visiting places and just a friendly "Buenos días, buenas noches"
RESPECT.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. 👌
Qyeeee cosas mejores tiene tu país si mueren más de 5 mexicanos por el sicariato 😂😂😂😂😂😂 por qué hacen estos videos mintiendo a la gente.
All people are welcome to 🇲🇽 we dont discriminate anybody, i am happy that all of you likes my country 😊
Viva Mexico!
ERES CHINGÓN JUANITO,NO COMO OTROS GACHOS POR AHI.
Bueno estás viviendo en un privilegio que no te permite ver la discriminación y racismo que existe en Mexico! Si se discrimina a la gente que son de otros estados, sobre todo en el Norte. Se les refiere con nombres racistas y asumíamos un montón de estereotipos raciales. Lo qué pasa es que está normalizado y Por ende cuando alguien se queja de eso lo vemos como que es una queja aislada. Sin embargo cuando te das cuenta que un adolescente de Veracruz atacó violentamente a una maestra y se hacen las investigaciones esa maestra era racista y que sus Micro agresiones constantes llevó a u adolecerte a creer que la única solución era callarla ya que todo su entorno veía normal que ella fuera racista hacia el, entonces el sistema racista donde una maestra blanca cuando es atacada aquí en Mexico sigue siendo más importante que toro lo que ella le decía a ese joven. Y aún así ella pidió y exigió que lo llevaran a la cárcel porque en su cabeza solo decía verdades ! Y así hay muchos casos que se esconden solo en violencia de reacción o bien no mencionan o se hacen estudios. Pero lo he visto, lo he parado pero solo termino siendo yo un dramático proque nombre a familia mía como racista, homofóbicos, misóginos pero no ven el problema como problema . Mexico tiene una sociedad racista y colorista
@@AgrianRamos
La verdad si ,acá en el norte se discrimina mucho a la gente del centro y sur ,ya sea simplemente por haber nacido allá o por tener rasgos nativos , bueno al menos aquí en Nuevo León así están las cosas ,pero si nos sinceramos yo e visto que regularmente en las ciudades del centro y sur se suele discriminar a la gente que baja de los pueblos aledaños o que también son de alguna cultura nativa ,los discriminan por sus costumbres ,lengua , vestimenta etc, y eso sucede por la ignorancia ,ya que en verdad eso enriquece culturalmente a nuestro país ,si se enseñará eso a las nuevas generaciones a los que no tienen herencia nativa a ver la riqueza de ellos y a los que la tienen a sentir ese amor por sus raíces valorarlas y no que se sientan avergonzados cuando alguien se burla de ellos ,se debe trabajar mucho en ese sentido ,hace poco ví un vídeo donde unas personas contaban que cuando bajaban al pueblo de compras solían burlarse de ellos por ser nativos ,fue tanto lo que sufrieron que decidieron ya no hablar su idioma y dejar de lado sus vestimentas tradicionales ,eso para mí es una vergüenza y una estupidez que la gente se burle de nuestros hermanos nativos ,hay que aprender a ver la riqueza en ellos ,mi abuelo materno era una persona muy racista ,el si los llamaba ""indios"" despectivamente y para el tenían menos valor ,mi padre por otro lado siempre nos dijo que todos éramos iguales y los tratamos como tal ,la familia después de todo fue arropada aquí en México cuando los ancestros del abuelo eran judíos , yo me siento Méxicano a morir y amo a mi gente ,pero si como mexicanos nos falta crecer demasiado en ese aspecto con nuestros propios hermanos , porque con los extranjeros no hay pedo , nuestro problema es más interno, nunca e visto que un clasista o racista ,discrimine a un extranjero ,pero si a su propia gente.
So true. As a black woman growing up in California where we have a high population of Hispanics, Ive always felt welcome in their communities. Going to Mexico was the same thing. It's like a second home for me💚💚💚
Love hearing different perspectives from so many different regions of the country. I had no idea Mexico was so diverse before watching this channel. Gracias. 🙏🏾
We are honored to bring this diverse mix of voices to our channel from all around Mexico and honored to have you viewing the content. Thank you!
Yeah ,also very dangerous. Be careful.❤
@@mmdoz711 As opposed to the USA? Where every 15 minutes, someone is the victim of a violent crime? Dangerous like that?
FUNKE is so pleasant and I love her wisdom and her spirit ❤💯
She's a whole laid back vibe!
I absolutely love this ultra positive and helpful episode, watching from New Jersey now.
Excellent and bravo 👏 to Team Yarbros
Thank you for supporting and stopping by!
@@TheYarbrosI am sharing with family and friends right now this beautiful video.
@@JoyfulMoon-ip4tu THANK YOU! We love that kind of love. Thanks for supporting our channel!
i love the black american culture, their family values are similar to the mexican ones
We love your culture as well!
What about black mexican .?
Ajajaja dios pero cuando van otros latinos los discriminan hasta han dicho que los negros son un ascoooo😂😂😂😂
What are the similarities?
GREAT episode family. You KNOW we want to see MORE of these right?
You're on to something with this series. This may even warrant a separate channel based on these type of interviews alone around the world wherever we are.
👊🏿💯✈
Yes and 🤫🤫🤫
Funke is so lovely and wise, people should always be like her, would be a better world.
And she serves excellent mezcal to her guests!
Funke is stunning. She has a beautful soul. I am always excited to see new brothers and sisters coming to Mexico. I am learning of black history in Mexico. I can see how our culture is in ways inspired by black culture. Stuff we were never taught. I have family with black features and recently found out we have Nigerian in our DNA. We are all connected and I believe we are stronger more powerful if we unite. I love to see black peole coming to Mexico. Welcome!! I also thought Funke was such an interesting person to interview. The family in SMA was also a interesting to hear thier point of view. Loved this video.
Awesome! Your family history is very intriguing! Really glad you enjoyed this collection of stories.
@@TheYarbros Yes! I loved Funke I want to do what she did and move south. I am in the northern part but as time goes I see others moving to the southern part of Mexico and want to do what they do. When I visit I dont want to go back home.
I found myself binge watching all your videos with coffee and donuts within a week. And I mean all of them lol. Great content. Each vid made me feel like I was there and even more excited for my own journey to MX next year LW. I never comment because I never know what to say but thank you so much for sharing so much information, knowledge, tips and joy!
❤️❤️❤️We appreciate YOU so much! You are who we are doing this for. Thanks for coming out here and commenting. ❤️🔥❤️
Bienvenidos a México, solo como consejo para que se ganen mucho más al pueblo mexicano es que aprendan el español, los mexicanos en general no hablan inglés y los que si lo hablan preferimos que nos hablen en el español, de ahí en fuera, todo bien.
Que tengan una bonita estancia en el país y que Dios los bendiga
Exactamante. Soy de NuevaYor ky llevo 23 años aca en Mexico. Y soy fuido en el idioma, al igual al frances e italiano. Odio que la gente venga a Mexico a vivir y no se esfuerze en mostrar respeto debido a la cultura. Peor aun, que vengan en plan colonial, queriendo vivir solo entre foraneos. A la chingada con eso.
I love the individual stories❤❤❤
Awesome!!! Thanks for being one of the first!
Such wonderful and insightful guest. Another high quality production Yabros. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽. ATB from sunny Cancun! 😎
Gracias amigo! Stay cool😎
Funke's message is awesome and 100% true, we are happy to see so many new people coming here to have a peaceful life, hope y'all feel happy and welcome and that we can all coexist happily, after all that's the essence of our nation, warmth and family, if you respect us, we won't hesitate to call you family and be there always, greetings!
I love it! Mutual respect goes a long way with good people. Blessings to you and yours!
Excellent video. It's not easy to move to a different country as an adult, but with an open mind and heart, it can be an easier transition.
No, it's definitely not easy. Thanks for stopping by!
My JOB of 10-yrs has answered the question " can I take My job out of The US' as a No... but ! I am willing to test it LOL but FrFr!. Does any1 know IF the land line/Internet services are Reliable ?
also how many digits is a Telephone# in Mexico. If any1 knows of a remote CSR Job that is hiring Id appreciate that as well
Cuando las bombas 💣 3sten 3n tu puerta ahí diras ajjajajajwja
Just want to see you did a great job making this. Not one point did I feel bored, or uninspired. Great job making the audio clear, good angles and great people to follow. 💪🏾
Thank you!
@@TheYarbros you’re welcome. I did have a question. Have you heard of any others’ experience being black and lgbt there? In Oaxaca, Merida or SMA
Wow! What a great story of my hometown Monterrey Nuevo Leon, Ms. Funke is an extremely wise woman I really admire a lot what she said about our Mexican culture and traditions! Thank you for sharing this and keep up the great work to the "The Yarbros"
Thank you! Funke did an excellent job conveying that wisdom and it was so on point. Thanks for supporting the content!!! Viva Mexico!
@@TheYarbros Funke was definitely inspiring for sure! I’m really glad she loves Mexico. Huge shoutout to you guys for bringing us some great content and sharing your experiences with us! Keep up the great work y Viva Mexico 🙏🏼🇲🇽 Thanks champ and God bless!!
I love your videos. 🥰 Can you please make sure that the music you add in the videos aren’t too loud so that we can hear the speakers better in the future? ♥️ love y’all 🫶🏻 xo
Ok thanks!
The editing is so good, guys! ❤
Thank you very much!!!
Wow! This is such a great interview style.
Love the interviews! Nice work! Love real life
We're addicted to it too! Thanks for checking this one out!
They all have great stories but the lady living in Mexico is captivating. So much wisdom and stories to be heard that I wish I could just sit down with her and listen to her stories.
Enjoyed hearing these stories!
🤗 Happy to share them w/ you 😄
I love this series! Thank you
Thanks for being here for it!
The lifestyle and perspective of others paints a broad picture for everyone to enjoy! and as always, Yarbros deliver with joy.
We appreciate your comment! These stories are out there; glad we got a chance to share a few!
More videos with Ms. Funke!!! She is magnetic!! I love what she said about getting right with yourself before you move and having humility towards the new culture. Awesome video!
Thanks... Glad you enjoyed our friend!
Funke reminds me of my grandma, who we called Sweetmama. This video gives me so much encouragement to go ahead and start my move. I'm thinking of going to CDMX in February to scout a bit.
Funke resonates with so many. It was a pleasure speaking with her. Glad you’re encouraged to get things moving with a scouting trip. There’s a great community in CDMX!
Thank you to yall, Czech in effect, and ace for what yall do.
Another great video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aww, thanks, ENJOYED THE INTERVIEWS ❤
Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Monterrey big City ,but NO WATER!!!
@@joelresendez2048 yeah, everyone had a different way they were dealing with that.
This was good ❤
Thank you😊
Trabajemos guntos para tener el país q todos deseamos
Falta mucho x hacer hagamos de México el país donde todos podemos estar y vivir
Saludos
¡Sí! ¡Vamos a hacerlo!
Conseguir un trabajo como inmigrante en todo el mundo es realmente difícil, ¿cómo esperan todos que sobrevivamos?
Trabaja en linea!
Amigo como compañero inmigrante siento tu dolor, pero estamos en el siglo XXI y no deberías depender enteramente del gobierno y los salarios para ganarte la vida.
Tienes razón, pero sin trabajar y ganar salarios, ¿de qué otra manera puedes pagar tus cuentas?
Permítame intervenir, ¿ha oído hablar de una innovación llamada bitcoin y de cómo un hombre distinguido llamado Grey Thomas está ayudando a los inmigrantes no solo en Estados Unidos sino en todo el mundo a generar ingresos y mejorar su nivel de vida?
Què coincidencia, estaba a punto de mencionar cómo me ayudó con mis finanzas al llegar a Miami, Grey Thomas es un hombre increíble y espero que lo recompensen adecuadamente por todo lo que está haciendo.
So nice to hear a Detroit/ Belle Isle reference . Detroit represent! I’m looking to retiring to Mexico. I’m here doing my RUclips research. Thank you for your videos.
Que hermosas palabras llenas de sabiduría, de la Dama que vive en Oaxaca, es un ser de luz definitivamente
😄
The SMA family brought the grandmother with them! That is great, multi-generational households are the norm in Mexico and throughout Latin America!
Yes! Love is the way! She seems like a vibrant spirit!
Ignorante
I wanna be Funke when I grow up. She has such a warm, relaxed presence.
Everyone who seeks peace deserves it. These people are role models to this goal.
Facts 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Sincerelly interesting topic together with your own approach !
Interaction with People´s lives, feelings, emotions, culture shocks¨ & philosophies of life. Thanks a Lot !
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
MY BROTHAS AND SISTAS ARE VERY WELCOME,,,CHEERS 😄👍🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Muchas gracias amigo!
Speak for yourself
Nunca habia estado tan consciente de ser de donde soy y todo lo que representa; ahora mas que nunca me enorgullece ser Mexicano; ser del Hombligo de la Luna, con todos sus sabores, su cultura, su pasdo histórico,su gente, sus recursos, su gobierno(actual), por todo ello: Larga vida a MÉXICO. Lo amo.
Larga vida Mexico!
Que doble caras ahora solo porque los gringos los utilizan para no pagar más dinero por eso los aman porque ahora pueden ir a otros países a presumir ajajajajajaja 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Viva México 🇲🇽
Viva Mexico!✌🏾
Beautiful that’s Mexico. Thank you for sharing.
🤗♥️
Love this video and many of your videos- very unique, interesting and informative!
Only thing is- the background noise/music started getting louder in the second half and it was hard to hear the interviews- not sure if I’m the only one this happened to? 😂
Yes, we had some sound challenges with in some places we couldn't overcome. Thanks for sitting through them.
Love your videos of Mexico. Viva Mexico!
wow! always good!
Thanks!
Such a wonderful video. I ❤ Funke!
She is gaining a following out here. She was wonderful to hangout with and talk to!
I enjoyed watching this video. I especially enjoyed Funke’s wise words on adapting to living in a different country.
Really glad you enjoyed our costars.
Mexico loves you guys.. black history run’s deep in Mexico
We love you back too!
Im definitely moving back to Mexico 🇲🇽 🎉🎉from Seattle Washington state USA 🇺🇸 🎉🎉

Hello guys, I like how your videos are growing and having great content to share. This was great to interview new people that have different experiences in Mexico. Sending Big hugs to all of you in this video. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!
Love Funke! What a great story
From an awesome woman!
Dara's part, loved it--and the guaranteed gift of her giving her daughter fluency in another language. My kids are now grown, and both were in a Spanish-immersion program from kindergarten on in our local public school system (in Maryland--high demand and they lucked out in the "lottery"--more school systems should offer this). Not as good as actual immersion but a really good start. My 23-year-old daughter now says in her mind, one of the overall best parenting decisions we made was doing that, that it's helped her so much; she now lives & works in Los Angeles. (Haha, I resisted the urge to ask about other parenting decisions, counted my blessings with one!) I think language fluency is one of the most difficult things to make up for later, though I keep trying with myself....
Very good idea to get multiple points of view towards living outside the US.
Hoping that maybe people can resonate with one of the perspectives.
This has changed my mind about a lot. I hope to learn more through the channel as a black man traveling in this world
We hope to fill that need! Glad you found us!
Everyone Is welcome to México, guys
Thank you for watching.
Love this my peeps! Come see us in Chapala. Ijs!❤️🙏🏽
If this is a real invitation, we’re down! I’ll let you know when we swing your way.
Yes it is real✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Thanks for the video guys,seńor Yarbrough send a drink man.
Awesome video! Is the Iya (Funke) in any of the Blaxit groups? I would love to connect when I am in Oaxaca!
Yes it is! Yes she is. She attends most of the meetings, I believe.
@@TheYarbros Thanks!
All the good people are welcome to mx
We'll let them know to hold the bad ones back!
Is there any hair salons that you all recommend? Specifically that can do 4c hair in braids
Theres a big movement of Americans, Canadian 🇨🇦 , Europeans from English and Spaniards all moving to MeXico 🇲🇽 🎉🎉❤ I think im moving back to Mexico 🇲🇽 🎉🎉❤❤ im getting tired of paying $2,500 for rent here in the USA 🇺🇸
Excellent video...as always.🎉 I'm curious to know if Mexico offers Beauty Salons that cater to African Americans.
Actually "Monterrey" is a contraction of "Monte del Rey" or "King's Mountain", but the other meaning is also cool. I hope to visit that city someday
Ohh, ok!
Daria’s comments are so true. It’s a bit challenging for single women, especially if the community is family oriented.
Interesting....some of our community say it's a lot different other cities especially CDMX. I really didn't know it got that deep....crazy world!
Thank you for sharing all this information about Mexico and teaching the world that it’s not a horrible place as it shows in the news. One this as an immigrant myself. When my family took me to the US I had a huge culture shock. Even Mexican kids used to make fun of me or it felt like I didn’t belong sometimes. What I’m saying is that those things happen anywhere when you move from one country to another. I encounter the same thing now when I go to Mexico because I Don’t “look or act Mexican”
Hey cuh I'm glad you traveled in México I always want to do that unfortunately I can't 😔 😟 🙁
What-up! Sorry to hear that...didn't think I would be able to either....but things worked out!
Next is a series of Pueblos Magicos.
Maybe...I'll go wherever we are.
Funke, sweet lady, you will be happy wherever you are. You will be welcomed whereever you go. Dod bless.
Gracias!
Funke es divina. Amo su sabiduría simple y profunda a la vez.
She's good people.
Amazing people!! All foreigners who contribute growth and respect to this beautiful country are welcome.❤🇲🇽
Love you for that! Viva Mexico!
Ajaja ellow son estan porque es barato dios que ingenuos.
@@jhoreb6363 Es difícil iniciar de cero en un país que no es el tuyo, tengas o no solvencia obviamente con dinero todo es más fácil, pero si tienes solvencia NO decides mudarte e iniciar, solo viajas.
I know with your travels, y’all are looking for a place to call home but I think you found it. A looong time ago lol. Your hearts are there, community is there and no matter where in the world you go, y’all are always drawn back to Mexico. Is Mexico endgame for the Yarbros? 🤔
Mexico is convenient but no it's not endgame for us.
I would love to connect with Funke I’m coming to Oaxaca in January looking to live there!
Checkout the Black Oaxaca FB group. You can connect w/ her there.
MEXICO 🇲🇽 AWESOME....
