I’m impressed with the the 19 year old lady who is in school and I wish her well.
Hi, Turkey actually has an Afro-Turk community (although their population numbers aren't very large) and are culturally the most visible in Izmir (they have a cultural center in Konak/Izmir, and hold an annual cultural event in Izmir called Dana Bayrami-this year it was held on 14-15 September). From what I have seen from other African American youtubers, they tend to be very friendly and sympathetic towards African Americans. If you have the time I would highly recommend getting in touch and visiting the "Afrikalılar Kültür, Dayanışma ve Yardımlaşma Derneği" in Izmir.
Hi Jasmine. Great vlog as its been a while. I'll give my two cents on possibly your unfortunate experiences from some of the Africans you encountered. Just for context i'm African (Ugandan) born and raised in London, UK and had the exact same experience whenever I travelled to Uganda and encountered locals. The locals called me Mzungu (which means white person) though I'm 100% black lol because of my British accent and also because I don't speak my mother tongue (I blame my parents for that). One person explained it bluntly to me by saying that I'm not Ugandan to them because of my accent and the fact that I grew up in the UK. Very ignorant you may say, but unfortunately most Africans (born and raised in Africa) share this view (not all fortunately) and literally consider black people especially from the west as outsiders in the same way they would view a white person!! Crazy but true. The people you spoke to didn't detect your accent and became wary of you once you confirmed you were from the US. I'm generalising here but there are others that are not like this as shown by lovely Precious in your video. Don't be discouraged, I hope you continue to meet great, open minded people along your amazing journey ❤💜
We were sold, we had no choice. Shameful and unfortunate African’s see us that way. Oh well, moving onnnnnnnnn.
I like your authenticity, not wanting to highlight the negative aspects is cool but a lot of us watch to get your real perspective about the country because if you only show the good and someone else visits there based off you only showing the positive, then they can walk into a bad situation, from being unaware of the total experience. Other than that I loveee your content, rather good or bad, YOU are always positive so you can’t be responsible for the negative experiences but you do have the power to shed light on it. 👑
I understand that and there are PLENTY of negative feedback that you can find on the internet of every single country.
As for me , unless I’m put in a dangerous situation or severely uncomfortable, I don’t feel every negative thing needs to be commented on. That’s my choice.
I've been to Istanbul.
I've traveled a lot and I have to say I really like Turkey.
However, Istanbul is chaotic and crowded. OMG It's sooo crowded.
While walking some people rudely bump into you without apology; sometimes it felt intentional. The trams are packed with riders and the men try to cop a feel on your butt or a even get a quick roll on your butt. Most streets are on an incline, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a good workout. Oh one more thing, hardly anyone speaks English.
Now for the goodies: it's a busy city but I never felt unsafe. I often walked alone at night to my air bnb and no1 bothered me, not even a catcall. They have amazing figs and pomegranates. Although the ppl don't speak English they're eagered to help you, they will even look for someone that does speak English to help you. There's sooo much walking involved, that you can't help but lose weight or get in shape. For the most part the ppl are very nice. You will meet life long friends. There's great shopping, especially for leather goods. You will always meet other foreigners and it's safe for a solo traveler.
Go, experience it, you'll be glad you did.
@reesepatron2320 lol I love Istanbul too, it's so annoying trying to find an English speaking person. It reminds me of nèw york city.
Whenever I wonder where you are and how you're doing you seem to post within 24 hours of the thought! I love your vlogs because you have a great knack for not just feeling the vibes of wherever you go but capturing the vibes in a way that can be felt by your audience too. I completely understand you not wanting to add to any negativity out there in the world but im glad you shared that experience with us the way you did. You keep it all the way real all the time while remaining positive. Cultural differences can divide but positivity and just being a genuine human being can unite. I feel what you experienced was a gang up of the few who have bought into stereotypes about black Americans or havent met enough to be cognizant of the fact that we're not a monolith and if your vibes were good enough for them to initially agree to record then being from America shouldnt have changed that. They had preconceived biases and instead of getting to know you and being enlightened they reacted off of bias. Their loss girl!! Keep being a bright light in the world ❤
Edited for typos.
Thank you so so much for this 🥹❤️ balancing being consistent with my uploads while staying present in my real life is a huge priority for me.
I genuinely appreciate everything that you mentioned and I won’t let this one day dim my expectations from an entire continent of people 🙏🏽 thank you again
Sorry to hear about your negative encounters Jasmine, please keep your head up! I'm more of a lurker and don't really comment much but this video moved me because you have such a beautiful spirit about you. I was in Istanbul for the second time this year from 25th September to 3rd October 2024. I was also at Taksim Square (I caught the Metro there). I wish I had seen you as a fellow black sister I would have definitely said hi. Chin up and keep doing your thing, baby girl!
JASMINE be careful you are alone out there. Can't trust everyone ❤
I love all your vlogs and look forward to your uploads because I always know its gonna be an hour of fun and frolics but I think this vlog was actually my favourite for multitude reasons, mainly your pure transparency. its important to not only recognise our anxieties whilst traveling, but to address them, understand their cause(s) and hopefully learn how to either avoid them or how to deal with them moving forward.
I noticed when you mentioned you were American, from America, to the Nigerian man and he responded something along the lines of ''but where are you really from?'' it made me think about something Tiffany Haddish once said about being black in America, how many black Americans don't know their roots/family trees pre 300/400 years ago because of slavery and although that has nothing to do with you, your heritage or your vlog, it just made me think that asking someone ''where are you really from'' is such an invasive question that can actually be super problematic and insensitive to ask. I love Istanbul and have been three times (once for a nose job which actually turned out really bad but I don't hold that against the city haha) and I fortunately, minus the botched nose job, havent experienced any hostility with the locals (I am white though so this is where my privilege would come into play) but my Jordanian friend (Arab) has lived there for years but unfortunately wants to leave because from his (and many other Arabs living in Turkey) experience, there's a huge racism issue there. He has told me he's been the recipient of many racially motivated encounters, even attacks, from Turks which really surprised me! I don't really understand why this is, he explained it to me a few times but it appears to be a deep rooted and super complex issue. Again, I know that has nothing to do with you but I wanted to comment this just because maybe someone reading has also experienced something similar and could enlighten me/us further about this issue!
Thanks for always sharing your true experience and always remaining authentic. You're my fave travel RUclips because of this xx
Thank you for posting this video anyway. I'm actually surprised that people changed as soon as you told them you're American...I can't believe the small ridiculous social media fights would be a reason to treat someone this way... And those fights involve Africans born/raised in the west most of the time anyway so this is strange (if that's the reason of course).
As an African I hope this does not discourage you to visit the African continent if you want to because I would love to see your adventures there if you do. And I don't think you would have the same experience there (especially if you visit the touristy countries). In my country (not touristy) you would not have this experience at all. I subscribed not so long ago because you have such good vibes and your Istanbul vlogs made me want to visit. So keep it up :)
Girl you would have made a great TV journalist! you are truly a natural.
Thank youuu 💗 I’ll be on the big screen ONE DAY 😆🤸🏽♀️
Thanks for the insight. Glad you were ok at the end of the day, and a very interesting peek inside a part of culture that we as viewers would never know about. Great job!
Jasmine, I enjoy your videos, be safe out there. Some people have had a similar experience with Africans in America
Many Africans want to hear you identify the African country you are from. They fail to realize that melanated Americans usually don't know where they are from. We have been here toooooo long. They also fail to realize that many of us are indigenous to America. This land was occupied by melanated people long before Europeans arrived and named it. The originals "indians" look like us. As such, I think we have to start having the conversation to educate folks about these facts. They may be thinking that we are trying to distance ourselves from Africa but that ain't it. Great video Jas!
You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what I thought as she spoke about her experience at the end. Question - was it just the men who had attitude?
Yes, we were here before Europeans arrived. Facts.
Exactly…unfortunately, we have been fed so many lies that it is difficult to know what to believe.😩
We are on our original land mass. I've done my ancestral genealogy and haven't found one person from Alkebulan...
You got it spot on. I was born in the UK with Nigerian orgins. I say I am Nigerian but my family from Nigeian say I am " a white man". Which makes no sense
Since starting watching your vlogs recently. I've wondered why you so eagerly tell people you're from America. I understand that's where you're from. But so many countries don't have a good view of America . And the moment you say you're from there they associate you with all the bad things about America that they know or "think" they know. I'm sorry you finally met those people, but I'm glad you were safe bc it can get dangerous quickly when people know you're from here. Thank you for going forward with posting this video and stating the things you experienced.
It depends on the country and the energy of the person you're conversing with that determines whether you should be apprehensive to say you're American.
It's also a privilege to be American.
If I'm haggling prices I don't like to admit I'm American but If I'm in a situation and sense that I'm being slighted then I mention I'm American.
that neighborhood reminds me of the garment district in nyc...exact same vibes. Im wityh you, dont want none of that negative energy
Hi Jasmine! I have only been to to Kenya and Tanzania. My experience there was amazing. The people were so welcoming. When we told them we were from the United States; they were just as excited to speak to us as we were excited to be there. They did not ask for more ancestry detail. There are times when African Expats who immigrate to America/ Europe as adults do sometimes come across as a little hostile or dismissive to American black people. My niece and I also got this the last time we were in London which was weird. We had to explain to the young lady that even though we can’t trace our ancestry back to the specific tribe in Africa; Black American is our ancestry. It comes with a lot of history and culture! Definitely go to Africa. It was a trip of a lifetime. My family and I can’t stop talking about it and we can’t wait to explore more of the continent!
Interesting!!! Went to Istanbul earlier this year and wasn’t aware of an African community there.
I'm glad you're ok. Thank you for sharing.
Awww, you found it, Aksaray! I was waiting for you to stumble on this area. It has a lot of African owned cargo businesses, bars, and restaurants. Very unique place in Istanbul as it is highly populated with Africans. It's their business hub. If you are looking to buy anything wholesale, they have people who will take you to the right shops to buy and help you ship back to your chosen country. Keep on enjoying and discovering the Beautiful Istanbul.
Jasmine, girl I absolutely love your vlogs and how you communicate with the community you're in and the communities you enter!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I return to Istanbul in January I can’t wait ❤
Bring a nice coat and have a good time ❤️✨❄️
@@itsjasminegiselle Will do Yasmine sağ ol 🩷🇹🇷
Precious is adorable!
Enjoyed the vlog. Loved your commentary. I understand what you are saying. I have experienced the same thing. Keep doing you.
I’m sorry you had to go through that Just be careful and enjoy the people who enjoy you
“ALL SKIN FOLK AINT KIN FOLK” and that’s ok The Turkish girl you hung out with in your other video was so sweet Be Safe and can’t wait for the next video
Man I was in Istanbul on a layover 2 weeks ago and it’s all I can think about!!! The food, the people, so much to do! Ugh I need to go back ASAP
Yesss you have to go back and do it right 🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷
Enjoy live this day this life. Been wondering when the next would post! Like your hair. 😊 love the videos. @ traveling is my happy as well.
Turkey is beautiful and the people seem very nice
Very beautiful place and very beautiful people 🙏🏽
@@itsjasminegisellewhile your in Istanbul please go to a Somali restaurant. You would have a good experience.
I think your very brave. X connie dublin ireland 🇮🇪
Aww. I highly recommend you checkout South Africa 🤗. You’ll love it, and the vibe is overall welcoming.
Wow that's interesting. I never really had that issue really. Majority of my friends in college were African. Specifically Ghanaians. I went to Ghana in 2018 and they were so nice. I made friends there. However, I have had a few friends say their parents look down black Americans because of stereotypes. I don't like that division.
If I feel unwelcome, I'm leaving. The attitudes would've been enough for me. They are mad about life. Be safe, and stay out of those unwelcoming areas. Well, show us the unedited version, chyle. Either way, you did okay.
Great video!!
Be safe ❤❤❤❤❤love your content❤❤❤❤
Girl. I was married to an African man, and I can tell you some of the older generation is very much rude and dismissive towards black Americans. We didn't choose to be born in America. Just like you cannot choose to be black its all very ignorant and sad because we should be welcoming each other. I will be in Istanbul on Sunday. I hope you are enjoying your travels!!!
What’s funny is that the reason why we are here is because many of their ancestors sold ours to the Brits, Dutch and Spanish but they don’t want to talk about that. They’re mad that we’re here and made a decent life for ourselves despite our circumstances.
Thank you for sharing ❤ and I’m saddened you had that experience especially from people from African descent but you handled it well and everyone has a bad day you’re human but you kept it cute and light for us 💕admirable 🫂 hang in there..😌 stay safe
It’s so cruel that people don’t understand we are Americans and we are Black..we are unclaimed by America and Africa it’s true and sad we do not know what country or tribe we come from and we don’t know the culture or language! It’s not our fault our ancestors were slaves and it’s not our fault we had to create a culture in a place that was stolen and never wanted us! I would love to be from Africa..speak the language and know the culture but it was never taught to us..we get it from everyone 🤷🏽♀️ both sides fail to realize the ugly history of America no one cares about Black Americans (Kanye voice) or what we constantly go through the anxiety and lack of understanding (PTSD) is so real 😵💫🥲 just to live each day 🤷🏽♀️
I’m American cause I was born here but my ethnicity is Black and our culture soul food and Jazz, soul, and hip hop 😅 and so many other things we created, invented and championed in America but are not given credit for!
Just because you have dark skin or melanin or identity as African or Black doesn’t necessarily mean you are from the continent of Africa there are people of color all over the world not just Africa 🤷🏽♀️
I’m glad you decided to show this video. You are keeping it very real and I understand that there are going to be some challenging incidents. Every day life is not a bed of roses and that’s what you’re showing. I would like to know why people there were cautious unfriendly to you.
hey girly I love your videos. Can you please do a video about how much everything is? like a budget with everything. Thank you
Love your videos, stay safe and enjoy 👍🏾.
Thank you ✨
Jasmine first off I love you videos and the energy you bring sharing your life. As for the encounter you had with the four African men, they have a low opinion of women in general. How dare you exube so much independence ( that’s partly their thoughts). A female should not be walking around freely and expanding her mind and spirit. Also there probably was some suspect doings going on which they did not want filmed. I can go on a lot about that but let me just say follow your gut feelings. Thank you for your videos ❤️
This is a great point: how dare she, a woman?!!! And being Black American, too? ALL the worst stereotypes were likely running wild in their minds, smh.
Excellent content! I enjoyed this video. I plan to try Ethiopian food, as well.😋 Be blessed!🤗🌹
Please do, it’s so so good 🫣
Missed your videos
Back to back uploads are on the way ❤️❤️❤️
Good to see another video from you ❤
Thank you for watching 🥰
Jasmine I’m sorry that this has happened to you babe. The reason I believe they are treating you this way is because they do not understand why we as African Americans don’t know our ancestry. Our history started prior to coming over on a slave ship. It’s like ignorance on our part to them. My suggestion is that you do a DNA test to know your true heritage. I did and it helped me so much. It gave me a since of self and connected me emotionally to my history. I now know I am more than just American. I am American but also 70% Nigerian and 22% Sierra Leonian. The rest is a mixture of European and Asian decent. I hope this helps you. Safe travels were watching 🙏🏽💕
I didn’t get an ancestry test to be accepted by Africans. We don’t have to prove anything to anyone to be treated with respect. Maybe it’s ignorance on their part for not knowing their history and how we got to America. They chose to be rude. White people do not have to know their history to be treated with respect by Africans. Rude is rude.
I think they doing sinister things with your DNA?! May I ask did you give mouth swab of saliva or blood for testing?
@@Kokobunniebankroll Saliva. Doctors and hospitals already have people’s DNA if they were looking for to do something sinister.
JASMINE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS WATCHING AS IM SITTING THRU HURRICANE MILTON HERE IN FLORIDA. I PRAY THAT YOUR DAD IS OK ALSO. I FIND YOUR VIDEOS VERY INTERESTING AS IVE NEVER TRAVELED LIKE THAT. ONLY MY OBSERVATION BUT THE MEN YOU SPOKE WITH ALL SEEMED VERY GUARDED ESPECIALLY ONCE YOU TOLD THEM YOUR AMERICAN AND MAYBE BECAUSE YOUR A WOMAN. FROM WHAT IVE GATHERED THEY VIEW OUR WOMEN AS FORWARD AND THERE WOMEN ARE NOT. MAYBE ITS A LANGUAGE BARRIER WHO KNOWS. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE. HUGGS
I would actually like to see a conversation about this. I would ask them out right. Im tired of the hostility towards people they know nothing about, a history they apparently no nothing about. We dont need to avoid this we need to talk about it.
Exactly
I agree
Agreed!
Do you not like using the translator app? I think some of the interactions would be different.
Looks like you may be in Aksaray. Enjoy and be safe
Yesss I think that’s the name of the neighborhood. Thank youuuu
Gurllll...I was getting scared about getting out that endless maze of shops and close quarters!😮 We not doing that again!😅 That One Nigerian brotha was 100% acceptable tho!!!🥰 He was husband material!💍NGL...😊 I'm so proud of you for giving your best to get and give opportunities. Too bad people judge based on a countries government, not as individuals. We may not be proud to be American's...but we should be proud of ourselves! Without us, the ENTIRE WORLD would be tasteless! No swag whatsoever. Do yo thang Black woman from America! You don't need limited thinking people around you anyway. I love your positivity and so does everyone else. 💜🧚🏿♀️💜
Start with Tanzania or Kenya as your 1st African countries. You won't be disappointed. Karibu East Africa!
It's funny just before watching you i was watching a video of the experience of an African lady living in New Jersey. She went to this African owned salon to get her hair done, they didn't know she was of African parentage and understood what they were saying about her and everyone else in the shop it was horrible.
When she spoke up they were shocked. She left and made the video on TikTok to alert others. They need to stop.
Whaaaat 😩
If I was in Turkey, be my luck I'd be accosted on a constant basis by those Turkish guys 😂😂, in all seriousness I notice that happens to you allot Jasmine please stay safe 🙏🏼 and stay beautiful 😊❤
How did you netice it 😂 She have not said a word about it.
So recently ive have heard about the animosity between African and American woman but maybe it's turning into a bigger issue now. It started with this black woman getting her hair done by a African business a woman who were talking bad about American woman not knowing she knew their language bashing them and treating them like they didn't matter so yeah and it was more than just one American woman complaining about how they were being treated by the African woman.
Good job from Ethiopia ❤
Hello, Jasmine!!.. First off I’m so proud of you for venturing out into the world 🌎,VERY Brave of You❤… For quite some time now, Africans haven’t necessarily cared for Black Americans. The reasoning is Black Americans are “lazy” and don’t like to work for things in life. This was told to me by Africans so many years ago. Africans are smart and hard working people. Black Americans don’t betray being hard working. Black Americans betray, wanting the easy way out. Throwing each other under the bus, opposed to working hard and supporting one another.
So, that’s why you got the immediate attitude change, when they found out where you were from.
I’m so sorry they feel that way about African Americans. We are shown in a very negative light. Our ancestors worked from sun up to sun down for years with no pay and scraps for food. Building a nation that we could only look forward to being treated no better than star dogs. Our children stolen from us and our families torn apart. ONLY to continue to fight to be where we are today. We are by no means lazy. We are actually some of the hardest working people on the planet. I’m sorry that Africans who had the opportunity to be born and raised on the continent feel this way about us. May we all remember we didn’t ask to be taken from our home. We were stolen and sold against our will and the people we want to connect with and want to love dismiss us as mere peasants. It’s a shame would could learn so much from one another.
Doesn’t make sense if she’s clearly a traveler. Black Americans travel a lot. Don’t make excuses for their ignorance.
@@CallmeQuayZ I’m not sure if you’re saying I gave an excuse for the behavior. Therefore, what I stated wasn’t an excuse. It was a statement given to me, by several Africans, when I asked the same question years ago. Take it for what is stated and move forward. No judgment needed.
@@katrinagrayson1309Then you should be more clear about what you're trying to convey. There is nothing anyone/group has done to better themselves has happened without the BLACK AMERICAN INFLUENCE!!! Without Black Americans, none of you Africans would be here to talk trash. We continue to work hard for the betterment of ALL!!! We are the only group that has faught tooth and nail to help ourselves and others without getting the RESPECT WE DESERVE!!! Anytime we stood together to right a wrong, every other group jumped in to serve THEMSELVES. With the exception of MLK, Malcom & George Floyd. Unless we are helping everyone else, they're not helping us. Now that we stand for ourselves, others are welcome to focus on OUR progress. No on can expect us to deny ourselves any longer. We have done enough. Time for reciprocity. ✊🏾
@@myjoyquest I’m Actually, very CLEAR of my statement. What has happened is you have turned my statement into a personal statement, when it’s not. The reality is you can’t get mad or be disrespectful when someone tells you how they feel. Accept how they feel about the matter, because it’s how that individual feels and MOVE ON. No one should be trying to change anyone. When the facts are there and you know it, let the rest speak for ITSELF! ✌️
Hey Jasmine,
You tricked me!!! 😂 You told me the camera was turned off, and I continued talking. Thank you for visiting Abyssinia Restaurant. I hope you loved the authentic Ethiopian food you tasted there.
Mmm I did no such thing sir. The camera was off before we started recording and I never touched it the entire time you were speaking 😂
Nonetheless, it was a pleasure. Abyssinia continues to be a treat.
@@itsjasminegiselle it’s funny. I wasn’t blaming.
The boy asked her whatsapp number 😂😂
#THIRSTYYYYYY😂😂😂and commented under her youtube video claiming he was tricked but when asked if video camera was still recording which Jasmine told him Yes it was so he now see he was being recorded asking for her whatsapp knowing his slick azz probably Married😂
Love your vibe, blog on.
Hey hope all is well. I'm gonna tell you something I found out a few years ago. A majority of African people DO NOT like African American Black people. Sad but true. But if you travel to Africa they are nice and welcoming to get your money. This is what I've been told
I suppose the majority of Africans are going about their lives and not thinking about American Blacks.
I've been to Kenya. Some worked for the money. Others for the joy of interacting with us. Same as people everywhere.
First and foremost Africans love and welcome everyone Africans are super hospitable to everyone from whites to Asians,Latinos to Africans living in America I say so cos my sister was born in Africa but now lives in America holds a US passport so she's African American nothing special about that. plus people have different experiences depending on their behavior towards those they interact with. so maybe your friends experience might be different from others. Hope this answers your question
Thank you for being so open and candid. I think you will have a different experience when you go to Africa especially if you decide to go to Ghana. My daughter is there studying abroad for the semester. I have been super worried about her but she is having a great time and really feeling comfortable so far. I myself have not traveled abroad, but I find that the Africans in my area are very 50/50. Some are very nice and recognize that we are all similar just born in different places. The other half are very closed off and prefer to associate with white people, they barely want to speak at times. I encounter a large population of Africans at my church, which is prodominantly white. A lot of times they will not even speak, it feels like they look through me, which is disheartening. You often hear people from other countries say that growing up they are taught to not associate with black/African Americans when they come to America or encounter Black Americans? I'm sure that this is a discussion that my daughter will surely bring up in her classes abroad, she is definately gonna speak her mind!!! lol...I will update you! Stay Safe and God Bless You!
Hey gurl enjoy❤❤🙏🙏
How do you like eating with your hands?😊I think I would need utensils. What was the base of the fish bead it suppose to be some type of bread?
I simply love your channel Beloved. The harsh truth is that so called Negros and Africans don’t know each other we are of different tribes. The reasons why we are so different/divided is all BIBLICAL and now political. Keep doing what you’re doing, keep the faith. I’m praying for all of us. Shalum
Is it that the Africans when asking "where are you really from" ? Are wanting to know your African ancestry ?
Until you’ve been on the receiving end of the aggressive questioning, you simply won’t get it.
@@itsjasminegiselle Agreed,just in my mind I can't understand the reasons for any aggression
There probably working doing suspicious activity to survive and don't want to be on camera. They are afraid of the camera and think your some sort of government agent trying to report them. But anyway great job showing us around your right about the strange vibrations, we can feel it through your camera.
Amen to the Guy spreading the gospel! Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." What i say next is in all due respect Jasmine. In almost all of your videos you say "thank God "or look at how God works or "the blessings" from God. But yet you do not want to hear about his son Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh. God gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." God allows us to wake up every morning and breathe. The gentleman was only spreading the news of Jesus. Jesus is returning soon I pray all come to him before his return. Take care and Thank you for sharing your content. 🙏
Amen amen God loves us very much and, He is coming back soon ... ❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿
Just listened to your response about the attitude of being American, this is the same thing going on around the world with not just black Americans but any American around the world. I wont say his name but our previous leader has put bad vibes on us around the world including some of our realty shows, we are looked at with awe and envy and arrogance, they assume that we are all the same and everybody is rich, burgers, and face food the land of plenty freedom equality they do not look at us on an individual basis. Plus guns and violence, school shootings, they also see all the negatives on their phones about America ,I'm glad your so observant be safe and continue your travels.
Hey Jasmine ❤❤❤❤
Merhaba ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful vlog.thx
Thank youuuu
I miss that Ethiopian food so much😢
My dear. What camera/lens do u use please.
Maybe Africans are jealous of you being American. Many have had to hustle hard to escape dire poverty and they see this American RUclipsr who has the privilege to travel the world. You would be disturbed and humbled to hear what these Africans have been through,I’m sure many are illegal in Turkey
It’s not our fault. Don’t blame us we were taken from Africa and sold as cattle .
@@bernstin6846facts!!
There's just no excuse for treating her or anyone else poorly, just because they come from America. We all have struggles.
Looovw your videos ❤
Thank you girly 💗💗💗
There is a lot of Africans in istanbul, it is a big city
I like your demeanor, countenance and tenacity far away from what you know..
Hi @itsjasminegiselle thanks for sharing your experience. Precious could be a good person to speak to (off camera) to gain insight into what you were experiencing. There is clearly an unspoken sentiment. Precious is Nigerian, born in Turkey and a university student (network) she may be able to point you in the right direction of business people in the immigrant community more willing to discuss trading. I wonder if the people who gave bad vibes have an unfavourable perception of Americans in general, or specifically Americans on social media? From your description they are open and kind to you at first, but switch up based on your nationality. Most people's perceptions of foreigners is based on media representation, which we know is insufficient at best and harmful at worst. I also think social media algorithms can reinforce negativity for those unable to discern the context of what they see based on cultural differences and misinformation. Don't be disheartened.
Thank you for articulating that so beautifully. I highly agree.
Aloha Luv~i watch u on my tv... Gotta come here & comment. Well in Izmir, Turkey they just grabbed that US Soldier & covered his head, yelling, "Yankee Go Home!" Its looking like it's Getting Hostile abroad, Luv be Safe! Aloha

That thing in Izmir was just played and is a set up for the mainstream media.
I was thinking the same thing about the illegal activities 😂
Yes it's really there personality I'm not sure if you seen divorce Court and Ms beautiful said you are talking to there representative for the first year and after they changed basically Africans changed personality with same living where Americans change living same personality it's heart breaking when there stand out there angry about life it could be life changes that broken there heart because you showed them a different part of life it could have been a smile that the African never experience or have experience just was a bad experience
Did I miss a video? When did you get your hair done? Who did it? Is this old footage or did you go back? Guuuurrrrllll I'm nosey sis 😂
Yes sis, you’ve missed a few videos 😂😆
Lawd!!!! Wth?!?!? BRB 🏃♀️
Visit Washington DC, there’s an Ethiopian restaurant on every corner.
I definitely need to visit DC for the food amongst other things. I never been 🥲
@@itsjasminegiselle add it to your list. Fall and Spring are best for weather, but DC Summer’s are fun as well. Humid and can get hot, but the town is so full of history and culture that it’s worth exploring.
Hey Jasmine ❤
Merhaba beautiful ✨✨
Sorry, that was your experience. Not all African people are like that. Nigerians and Ghanaians are very hospitable. Because of some people's experiences in places like Turkey, they may feel like you can not identify with them. However, that's their own issue, not yours! Keep doing you!
Do you have a issue with using your debit card, how is one US dollar equal too
❤❤❤
Prejudice comes in all colors, shapes and sizes. Stay far away from them once you notice it.
Be safe
Friend, what happened with the dental surgery? I was worried for you!
I haven’t had it yet 🙏🏽
@itsjasminegiselle hello what dentist are you going to?
Yes, always say you are an American. Lots of them don't like other Alkebulan tribes...
oh yess you find more black people in Aksaray ,beyazit and Esenyurt.....jasmine😊
Just curious, is there a reason why you didn’t want to hear the man talk about Jesus?
I’m not obligated to give someone my time just because they ask for it.
She doesn't need a reason! Who are you to ask such a question? Not everyone has to listen to you Christians. Weather we're Christians or not. So rude. What if you didn't feel like listening to some devil worshiper? Should someone ask you why you didn't want to listen? As if you should be ashamed for saying no? I know it's really "not that deep" but if people could actually hear how they sound! There's such a thing as being "over zealous." It is discouraged in some churches. JS...🙄
I’m so sorry you had to experience such rudeness 😡 but it’s Africans here in the states that don’t like us. It’s sad what Europeans have taught the world. Trust, I know first hand what they teach the world about us 🤦🏾♀️
There is a difference in African men and there different countries, tribes as all men. You should be careful when in any country as in an unfamiliar American city/state.
That is so sad it's maybe what they were taught, this is why you need to be proud of your country of birth.
Proud of herself too!!!
The owners of the African Restaurant are Turkish ?? They Originate from Turkey ?
They’re Ethiopian..
Wow that's my friend Tad.... he's a wonderful person and a great businessman .
Awwww nice. Which one was he?
How did you find this place?
Google
Why couldn't you just go down the spiral stars🤔?
Girl I would have broke my neck 😂🤣
@@itsjasminegiselle lol😂 I knew it was personal.🤣 I woulda, it was so convient! But the way you were tiptoing it 😅
I did hear someone in background when you asked which way is down I thought he told you that you couldn't take that way like maybe it was some type of showy or ostentatious display for figurative purposes🤷🏾♀️
@@itsjasminegiselle😂...I was thinking the same thing!!! I knew you would chose a different way. There's being "adventurous" and then there's being "stupid" We all know you ain't stupid. 😅
kabus gibi
Neden?
Why he can’t have your WhatsApp Jasmine😂
😂😂 ma’am
I didnt know you don’t believe in Jesus 😮
Give it a rest!🙄 She said it herself, "she doesn't have to give her time to anybody!" She doesn't owe you or anyone else an explanation. Don't judge what you don't know.
