      @@Dolledupandthangs There's a huge new mall that just opened a couple of weeks ago in Eastleigh, about 5-10mins east of the CBD. You coule consider opening a small business and ship American goodies to Kenya. Most Americans would love to shop and Kenyans love everything American. Go walk around in the mall and see how a small shop would cost to rent then work with your friends and family in the US to start sending you stuff that might sell well. Based on your experience you know a few things that you would want but can't find in Nairobi. Once you establish yourself you could get stuff delivered to your customers around the city.

    She can start AirBnb business, short term and long term rentals for people coming from the states, just get someone who knows real estate in Nairobi and Mombasa, rent a few units and re-rent them to people travelling to Kenya of course with your markup. You can also start packaged safaris and tours to Kenya, all you need is a local with connections to tour operators and hotels, he/she can get you good rates, advertise them to your fellow African Americans travelling to Kenya and add your markup. There so many things you can do in Kenya and Africa, you just need to do your research. If you need more pointers, let me know, I can email you a list. It is possible to register a company in Kenya, so long as one of the directors is a Kenyan. Finally if you want to get into any money deals or business, please make sure any you go through a lawyer.

    It's so encouraging to hear both you and Mena speak in kiswahili. Keep up, you are doing funtastic. Mena is a German name meaning Love (originally MINA). Atieno is a Luo girl name meaning night because Luos name according time (a boy is Otieno note A for a girl and O for a boy). I enjoyed your chat/interview. You are where you are not judged by your skin or look as Mena said. When walking on the streets of KANAIRO or NAIROBARI (NAIROBARI = nairobi + robbery because nairobi is a place where you maybe robbed. There you know) intergrated and majority . Home is where is where your heart is, feel safe and have a sense of belonging. By the way, Kenya is a touristic country and you will hear many people asking you where you come from, how is where you are coming from, but don't mistake this to mean they don't want you. Kenyans are used to lots of foreigners. That is why MZUNGU means a tourist/foreigner. It doesn't mean the colour of the person. When listening to both of you speaking I see two Kenyan women chatting and happy about their country. America belong to Americans and you belong to Kenya with all it's beautiful natural scenaries, landscapes and wildlife heritage. To know the beauty of Kenya you have to step out of Kenya. Lovely to see and hear your hearty stories.

    Great interview and Mena's story is inspiring.
    Curious what her take is on the real estate industry in Kenya or how airbnb occupancy rates are over there?
    Is she thinking of investing there or by property in USA again to give her income?
    My thinking on long term sustainability is "earn in dollars" like she said if you try and do the small businesses returns are very small. Maybe high end property there where you charge rents in dollars or passive income from the states.

She’s still looking to invest here just taking her time with the business however real estate is a great choice just needs to be about the location you know and price. You can still do ksh for the price just around the usd pricing for airbnbs in the states etc.. just has to match the price.

    Kenya suits every black person, both of you could be mistaken for similar kenyan tribe or two different...that's how diverse we are. Kiswahili accent from Kenyan coast is similar to TZ. We write/ speak proper kiswahili for official forums e.g TV news. Sheng is more casual, you're fast learners. Karibu Kenya.

    How are you is not "uko aje". It's "habari yako", or just "habari" which means Hi in short without finishing the whole sentence. Kiswahili street language old school is "Niaje" which would mean whatsup.

      @@Dolledupandthangs“uko aje” is literally “how are you” but not proper as a greeting. It’s best understood as a query of someone’s condition for example in the context of someone who is unwell A Swahili speaker would understand and respond appropriately though if you direct it as a greeting.
