What a beautiful home & I love seeing black women who are successful, thriving, and at peace! Love Love Love this!
All Lives Matter.
Me too
Thank you!!!
I love how they chose to show this instead of the more commonly associated ultra modern materialism you see in Atlanta. Not that I'm terribly judgmental of that lifestyle. This just feels like a deliberate choice to display a black woman prioritizing health and wellness and I appreciate that.
Thanks Celeste!!! I agree it's nice to showcase a diversity of lived experiences in ATL!
I like her style and am glad she's not throwing her money away on rent but making an actual investment. Her bathroom wall is painted the same color as my entire bathroom, and it just made me appreciate the color I had chosen again.
Thank you!! 😊
Her personality is everything! Just want more interviews with her, talking about her work, about her travels, her passions, anything!
Aww thanks Dashitaka!! I appreciate your kind words
What a beautiful space! Congratulations to her for creating great opportunities for herself.
Well said!
Thank you!
Love how her space is inspired by travels and the fact she invested in her space financially and mentally! Also a fellow sis in public health. 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!!! And heyy Public Health Queen♥!
Public health + travel. She left the rising rents of NYC and bought in Atlanta. The positive vibe she creates in her life and living space came across in this video.
Thank you!!
Beautiful home! Thank you for working in your field addressing health disparities for POC! As someone in the same field, I appreciate seeing this work be highlighted. You work hard and you have abrsutiful home to show for it. Love the meditation room!
Thank you!! And awesome!! Glad to hear you're also in public health! A lot of important work to be done!
@@travelJewelsTV I’m in public health and focus on health disparities as well, and am so proud of your great work and lovely home! I hope you continue to make warm memories there! 🙏🏾
@@aic0809 Thank you so much my fellow public health queen !! 🥰
Some people in these comments are salty… rightfully so bc girl is killing it
Apparently ALL Lives DO matter.
Love her home and what she said about how she got into public health. ❤️ I’m obsessed with her meditation and wellness room. Plis, the bathroom. If only I had the space in New York.
Thank you!!
This was super cute! Enjoyed watching it. I loved how transparent she was in regards to how she was able to purchase her home and the issues she had immediately afterwards. After three failed attempts at trying to purchase a home in Atlanta, I realized a lot of people either have help financially or qualify for first-time homebuyer programs. No one ever really mentions just how much money is needed up front to purchase a home and to still have cash leftover in case of emergencies/general savings.
I hope you're able to get your home!
Thank you!! It was very important for me to tell the complete picture of homeownership in my episode (not just the pretty house, but all the costs that come associated with it)!
@@audreys9770 aw thank you :)
I love how she decorated her house, it's beautiful.
Thank you!!
@@travelJewelsTV Your Welcome. Also congratulations on your success it is well deserved.
@@punkybrew07 I appreciate your warm words!! Wishing you the best too ♥♥
yay Jewels! This is so special. Love this feature and so happy to see how your beautiful and intentional living space has come together!
Thanks, Fi!! It was definitely a labor of love!
Beautiful home. Incredible energy. Inspiring. Go on, sis! Love from South Africa. 🇿🇦
Thank you!! I can't wait to go back to South Africa!
What a beautiful space! So gorgeous 💜
Thank you!!
Such an awesome woman with wonderful life experiences and good taste in her house 🏠 my biggest dream is home ownership! Way to go girl!🙌💯
Thank you!! ☺
You can do it Elizabeth! Squirrel those pennies, nickels, dimes, dollars away and by all means, take advantage of the first time home buyer programs out there.
I love how clean and peaceful her place is 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!!!
I really love her house, especially the yoga/mediation room. Also I love meeting sisters also in public health!!👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you!!! And yayyy hey public health Queen :-)
Wow ! Super impressed with your accomplishments. You’re house is beautiful ! You’re a rockstar !
Thank you!!
Such a beautiful home. That master suite, especially the bathroom, is gorgeous. I love the intention and care taken in decorating. Beyond the home I appreciate the portion of Jewels talking about her work and travels. Yes to a king bed!
Thank youuuuu🥰 My king bed is a game changer... no going back lol!
What a beautiful home! I especially love your meditation room. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!
Gorgeous home! And what an amazing use of space...it was like I was on an adventure lol
Thank you!!!
Beautiful home! Style reminds me of Urban Outfitters catalogue of products. I do adore her bathroom in the basement :)
Thank you!!
She’s gorgeous and so is her home. Good job young sister❤
This has been one of my favorite episodes. She has amazing aesthetic intuition and that meditation room is everything
awww thanks so much!!!
I absolutely love this house and how she decorated it!! ❤
Thank you!!
Love her decor. I totally get what she means by it having ‘global’ influence, but I like the subtlety of it… it doesn’t look themed or over the top.
Thank you!!
Notice she said "my mortgage". Because if you're renting a house, you're paying $4000 plus a month now adays.
@_Krystaleyez_. I know not everyone wants to own a home but if they do it may mean moving to a different neighborhood or relocating to a less expensive area. Otherwise, folks will be tied down to high rent forever.
Love her energy and style. Beautiful 🏠.
Thank you!!
Her home is beautiful!! Congratulations to her!!
Thank you!!!
This house is GORGEOUS. I wanted so bad to move to Georgia and purchase a home but now it’s financially out of reach with the soaring prices. Sadly I’m stuck in NYC 😡😡😡
@michele williams Girl, don't give up. If relocating is your plan you have to take whatever lemons you were handed and make lemonade. Creative thinking ladies!
Great vibe and beautiful decor to suit her personality 👌🏼✨ sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you!!!
Her space is so beautiful and calming!
I really enjoyed learning about your trinkets and the process in making your home uniquely yours. I’m so proud of you boo 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Thanks sis!!! ♥♥♥♥
Her home was just gorgeous
Thank you!!
luckyyyyyy her house is so nice open concept love it
Thank you!!
Such a beautiful space and so much intention behind the decorations! I love it!!
Thanks sis!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous but yet still believable as an authentic and lived in space. Great work and can’t wait to see more of your travel/style adventures😊
I was recommended to watch this episode and I am so glad I did
yay glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
She looks so happy! I love it!
So many houses in ATL neighborhoods are flipped from a 1960s floor plan still trying to put one bath 3 tiny bedrooms in the same space
This design looks awesome
Thank you!!
Love her outfit and love her interior decor style! Congrats on your lovely home. She is so right about the first year repairs. Thats why I tell friends that they must have a good amount of savings when buying a home because repairs come at any time and rarely are they cheap. I purchased a four apartment building and I'm just starting to share that journey on my channel now!
Thank you!! Your channel sounds dope! Just subscribed! Excited to learn more about your real estate journey!
@@travelJewelsTV aww thank you! You really have amazing style so I followed you on IG ❤️
Absolutely love what you’ve curated with your space for you and yours.
Thank you!!
@@travelJewelsTV you’re most welcome
Love love love this!
Thank you!!!
such a warm home and person 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you!!
Yesssss I love it.
People always need to get an inspection before buying. I am going to Rwanda next year in June for a month. If I love it I will move permanently with my sister and our families. Never left this country before. Congratulations on your home. I admire you. New subscriber here.
Thank you! I got a home inspection, but unfortunately, he missed some key things. I will definitely get two home inspections during my next purchase. I'm so excited about your first trip out of the country! Rwanda is on my bucket list. Enjoy it!
@@travelJewelsTV Even home inspections can't find every problem. We can only hope they find major ones but still believe in getting one.
Sweet deal congrats Jewels.. very sweet deal.. 4 bedrooms for $1,868 🤗💸💸
Thank you! Yea I feel blessed to have been able to purchase when the interest rates were at a historic low!
Absolutely beautiful! A place to call and make it your own! Home can be comprised of many different elements, and she has captured all of them….successfully! Get it! We see you SIs! Continue to strive for all there is! ❤️
Thanks love!!!! ❤ ❤

Love to see it
Thank you!!
I love the Amazon white table I've seen it in pink it is so cute and delicate I like it. I've seen really nice homes on this very stations some are better than others I would have expected a little bit higher grade being in Atlanta 😉🥰🥃👀🤔
Congrats on how well you've done for yourself!! I'm a tad bit jelly, because I can't afford almost $2k a month rent, but it's worth it to you, and you've absolutely made this entire space so *you*.
She owns her home. She's paying mortgage not rent.
Thanks Monica ♥
Niiiiice!
GORG 😍😍😍
Thank you!
This is a beautiful, beautiful set up. Question are you Kenyan or what part of West African. First time watching? That pillow case idea is 💡 brilliant
Thank you! I'm American, but when I did my Ancestry test it comes up 23% Cameroon, Congo, & Western Bantu People, 18% Nigeria, & 13% Ivory Coast & Ghana... And thank you!!! I love that pillow so much :-)
I live in ATL. Hoping to buy a home with my little family soon 💖
Wishing you all the best with your homebuying process!
@Lorraine Jarrett. You can do it. Don't just hope...Do it! :-)
Oh I love her place. Super cute!
Thank you!!
Nice..
Thank you!
Where can we follow her travels blog??
Beautiful girl and home.
You have a Beautiful home
Thank you!!
Can you guys link the people you showcase 😬
Wow, do you have a 'Discover Grenada' booklet?
