    When you travel around the world you meet people of all different cultures and learn from them , travel broadens your horizon. Never limit yourself.

    I have been living in England since I was 11 years old and I totally agree with Nichole the English are very racist they laugh with you to to your face then they call you names behind your back school was an experience not a very nice one even the teachers are racist and try to hold you back I had one teacher who said to me that I was too ambitious when I told her I wanted to be a lawyer. When I began my articles I went back to her and with much pride I told her that I had started my articles (now know as a trainee Solicitor) which was not easy to say the least to get a firm to take me on due to racism and their false sense of superiority I duly qualified as a Lawyer and worked until retired in 2022 I certainly was ambitious and proud to have been I can tell you

      There is a lot more peace in Wales. England is miserable energetically especially for the descendants of the enslaved.

    Hello fellow Westmorelite…..thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Nicole, I appreciate how candid your perspective is of England….could listen to you all day….continue to be genuine, humorous and a true Jamaican. Know you bring some warmth and sunshine to those bleak, dreary, dark days in England…Continue to shine!! ❤

    People learn by curiosity and I love her approach to navigating the perception👍. I love that she’s honest about stereotypes too.

  • @Iam_MJ876
    @Iam_MJ876 Год назад +7

    She is probably one of the most honest guest on this program. Other guest try to pretty up their experience living in other countries. Everything she said I've explained or know someone who has.The people are not friendly I would never live there. They have lots of homeless people on the streets, sleeping in subway etc. Fish n chips no have no taste. I go to Brixton every time I visit. The weather is bipolar maybe tripolar. I've been inside BP, the furniture dem old... No big deal. . Big up Nicole

    One big thing I've noticed about Jamaican restaurants throughout London is the lack pork dishes available

    • @Cocothekitten
      @Cocothekitten Год назад +2

      Yes, that's true. For many small takeaways in London, where there is a sizeable muslim community, they let them know that they food is 'halal'.

  • @SammyJ96
    @SammyJ96 Год назад +2

    27:45 Absolutely. Being ethnocentric will only closed you off from learning about the richness of other cultures , and negatively impact your experience.

    That is why parents must allow their children to pursue what they like and want to do. That is how white people treat black people all over the world, they do the same thing here in this country that I am living in. Good interview!

    Seriously? They cluctch pocket books in lots of cities in America but I did not realized until I was a young adult. I heard the American blacks stated it but it went over my head. Lord! This girl said they do that in other European countries too. Belief is a choice because it cannot be just one set of people who are talented or wealthy, come on.

      Umm she lives in the UK and is talking about her experience in the UK. Just because racism exists everywhere it doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t call it out where she lives 🙄
