Hello, I've been in Merida for over 1 year and LOVED it. It's all about what you make it. I came because it's safe and close to USA. Im excited to make the transition to the motherland, and starting with Merida has given me the courage to make the move to Africa. Your FB groups and videos helped SO MUCH!!! Thanks for all that you do. I ran into you a few times, and you always had a friendly spirit. Keep doing what you're doing!!!! Many blessings!!!!!
☺️. Thank you for being a part of this community and for sharing your kind words. I’m glad we met while you were here and I wish you nothing but blessings on your next journey.
I lived in the motherland for years on both the West Coast and east coast. Africans DO NOT like us, only your money. Black Americans women are being killed in Gambia.
This sounds like a plan! I love this!
@@feliciamonet thanks for watching.
@@MexitplansWanted to share that you're a Black Immigrant not an expat.
Bro after living in Mexico for almost 2 years my hypothesis that U.S. Citizens are THEE MOST PROPAGANDIZED population on EARTH is strengthens. Additionally, from kicking it and interacting with our Mexicano brothers and sisters IN Mexico I got left wide open knowing this! We have options, my suggestion, recognize them and capitalize on them and get in where you fit in. Let's NOT forget that one of the ORIGINAL "underground rail roads" was for some of our people going down into Mexico!
💯 FACTS
I came here because, well, I'm from here, but after 60 years I finally return home! I watch everyone of your videos. Greetings!!
Awesome. What a special place Merida is for so many people. Thank you for watching. I hope this helps you understand the immigration of black Americans better. I’m often asked why we are moving here from the US.
Another great video. Thank you! The kids were so adorable. I'm from Los Angeles and plan on moving to Merida or Panama very soon. It's time to leave the US.
Tons of LA folks. I’m excited to see the Wiz here.
Wowwww! Awesome community involvement ❤ Giving back to a community that welcome to you is awesome
Thanks. We plan to be here for a while and definitely want to leave a positive impact. Thanks for being a part of this community
I like the peace and quiet In my las Americas 2 neighborhood , and helpful people, good, healthy food, Progresso beach, Cancuns not far away.
Awesome. 👏🏽 thank you for sharing.
This was LOVELY. I want to overnight in that museum; the art is glorious. Those kids >>>>> Thanks for the links to the trainer and the production!
Soho Galleries always has incredible pieces that are ALL for sale! they are a huge asset to the community in Merida.
love this soo much!!
Please share it with someone!
Wow glad to hear the black community is expanding like this. I’m not black but I’ve invited my friends to come visit and consider it bc of the great community here. I have one friend who may be coming this spring break with her family. I hope she sees what I see and loves it like I do. ❤️🔥
It's an amazing place! Thanks for watching.
Catching the replay again because it was such a joy to see our people living in community with the people of Merida and just living a full life. I’m on my way to Merida in a few weeks for my scouting /vacation trip before my final move.
Awesome. Thanks!
Been following your channel for a bit now and enjoy your content very much. I lived and worked there for five years1985-1990...often return for work and fun. Planning on moving back there this next year again probably for good...just to give you some perspective. In the times that I lived here there was a very underlying tone of prejudice against people of color with the exceptions of the already centuries old Maya descendants and the Lebanese folks that emigrated. The American Consulate at the time was black but he had incredibly support and was extremely well liked by everyone...he was also fluent in Spanish and he even started a football team for the high school kids and bought their gear for them. Cool seeing mostly Mayan kids running around in pads! There was only one other black in the entire peninsula of Yucatan...he was a fisherman in Yucalpeten/Progresso known only as Negrito! He spoke English but was originally from Cuba. What a character. Soooo....just to give you an historical case as I have seen it...Blacks in Yucatan are a beautiful thing...and as most of you can see...welcomed with open arms. Un Abrazo Hermanos and Hermanas... All my best til we meet again. Mike Arnspiger on instagram as DeathValleyToo and Mike.Arnspiger also check out my videos on RUclips

Incredible art Mike. The current consulate is African American as well. She has done a fantastic job helping the community integrate into the larger culture here. She routinely shows up for events.
Nicely done. 👌🏽🇲🇽✨
Thank you
This is lovely 😍 👌 👍
Thanks for watching.
Beautiful Video ❤
Thank you
THE WIZ 🔥🔥🔥
The play was amazing. The kids did a great job.
Great sense of Community values and support 🎉
Maybe you can find the formula and teach other communities in USA and Caribbean plus
Perhaps. I believe one of the special things about Mexico and the Yucatan in particular is the value they place on family and community.
@@Mexitplans not a small lesson. Thanks for replying
I loved the video, such beautiful children. THANK YOU, SIR!
My pleasure
Great video. I've been living in Playa del Carmen for the last year. I just spent 2 weeks in Merida. It's a very different world that Playa but I'm glad I got a chance to connect with some of the black community there which was dope. I shared a few vlogs about my experience in Merida and will share more about my experiences in other parts of Mexico.
Mérida is real México compared to Playa del Carmen. I’m glad you visited.
@@Mexitplans It really is lol I wanted to get out of Americanized Mexico and experience real Mexico for a bit and I sure did haha
Sold me and my family will be there this year😊
Outstanding
Such a positive development.
Thanks for watching.
Now if we could just get a nice flow of single brothas we’d really be cooking 😂
There are a few more than it used to be! 😂
Blessings Family! Can you show more green spaces with fully functioning garages, not the open gate carport types seen?
Sure on the green spaces but most garages are the drive in car port types. It’s different construction here. So I don’t think I’ve seen a fully enclosed garage style home.
Im on SSDI so I'm on it.I think I'm part of yo FB group.What site to use to find a place
Thanks for watching. The best way to find a place is to explore neighborhoods. No site will be updated or current.
Question. Since you have been there since 2016, you probably can accurately answer this question. Have you seen prices increase compared to 2016 to 2022 then comparing 2022 prices to 2024? If so, roughly what percentage increase and what do you contribute it to?
Yes I’ve seen inflation but I couldn’t tell exactly what percentage. One factor is The dollar to peso has dropped 25 percent. But prices have also risen.
I love seeing the babies sing. What theatre school is this?
It was from the production of the wiz directed by one of the parents in town. It was a incredible show. The kids did a fantastic job.
I feel that folks will only enjoy Mexico fully if they learn the language. Some are not willing to do so, hence the reason why some don't last.
@@teddydavis2339 I agree.
Aye my birthday 🥳 🎂 3/23
Coming up soon.
Oh my goodness! The children were adorable! I’m looking forward to getting out more and enjoying the events you mentioned. Edit: I came here for both the safety and the Black expat community. 😊
The event was phenomenal. There were over 227 seats filled to watch the wiz. Amazing turnout.
whats the Facebook group name?
Brothas and Sistas of Merida is one of them
New to the channel. Wife and I are seniors and would love to chat with you and your wife. Let me know if that's possible.
I can probably get my Wife to Join me on a call. Use this link to book a 1x1 coaching session and I will coordinate with my wife and see if she is available. calendly.com/d/ck64-4t7-854/1x1-coaching
Two years ago I decided to bail out of this messed up country then 1200$ monthly income is what it took to get a temporary residency. By the time I got my knee replaced and was ready to come to Mexico President Obrador raised it to $2400 a month, now he raised it to 4200 $ a month that’s way out of my reach. It’s very nice to know that there are so many people of color that can make the jump. So I’m taking my meager Social Security check and a small savings and traveling Mexico intel I go broke. I’m in Coatepec Veracruz at this time
If you’ve visited Mexico in the last 10 years there are other options that don’t require financial qualifications. The Foreign National Registry program might be an option.
Don't blame the Mexican president. In 2020 when I applied for residency the peso had risen to 25 and spent most of the year higher than 22. Now it sits at just 17. This coupled with the rampant inflation, even higher than in the US, has resulted in the dollar amount needed for residency to have increased substantially. I have noticed significant increases over the past three years. Most restaurants have doubled their prices or more over this time.
You may want to consider Central America where the income requirements are much lower. As an example, Guatemala only requires $1250 per month for permanent residency.
Why was the income requirement raised so high to live in Mexico?
@@comounaverdura because the minimum wage has increased 20% each year over the last 3 years.
Mexico had to raise its minimum wage several times to offset inflation and to help the poorest among their population, which earning the equivalent of $15-20 USD per day and helped reduce the country's poverty rate.
I know it's bad for extranjeros, but it is good for Mexico. Even so, their current poverty rate is more than 30%.
Not many on YT or expat forums seem to mention that Mexico immigration offices stopped using the multiplier system in 2016 in favor of a less "punitive" system that goes by the acronym 'UMA'. Yet, EIGHT YEARS later, and hardly any Mexican consulates around the globe have updated their systems. Mexico is famously slow with certain bureaucracy, yet THEY did it... which makes the 'governmental bureaucracy' excuse a pretty lame one to fall back on, year after year.
I believe that a Mexican Consulate in Texas (McAllen, I think) changed to the UMA system. Might be something to look into?

Have a great day, and hope you find a path forward!
I think any expat living there should make a little more EFFORT to learn and speak SPANISH... If you don't, It will look like your living a separate, isolated lifestyle there apart from the locals.... That feeling of resentment is growing a little in Mexico City where there's a few establishment signs saying "Speak & Learn Spanish Please"...
I agree 10,000 percent. You should see my video on expat or immigrant. I think you would appreciate it.
Agreed
Why ya moving to Mexico if America so great 😃
Who said America is so great? its a great place to make money but otherwise, the quality of life is better in Mexico, in my opinion.
It's not great for everyone
@@sgladden39 which explains the growing number of people here. Jaja
The US may have been great at one time, but I don't think too many people feel that way these days.
I've been following different channels: different races, different ethnic groups, both men and women, married and single, with and without kids, and different age groups. The vast majority seem to love Mexico.
No son expratiados son inmigrantes hay q decir las como son. Q haces cuando tienes q reno se la visa tienes q ir a instituto de migración.
Claro que si. Estamos en acuerdo.
Immigrant: plans to stay;
Expat: plans to leave one day;
Emigree: forced to move usually for political reasons;
Refugee: forced to move usually for safety or severe economic-hardship reasons.
@@MaryGwenDungan All expats are immigrants.
Forgot one:
Exile: you're tossed out of your country of citizenship.
Hola MexiExpa
Be careful celebrating halloween.
Monster, demons and psycho killers.... I let you do the history of Halloween.
Sinceramente
A brother.
We don’t celebrate Halloween. I thank you for your concern. We celebrate the children and give them an event that allows them to be kids and enjoy the day. There was a costume contest, candy collection, and dance games.
