Thanks as always for following my journey :)
Greetings... We moved from Windhoek to Canada 40 years ago...Namibia(South West Africa) was pretty desolate of people back then. Namibia must have changed quite a bit I think. My Dad(went back to marry)/step mom + 3 half sisters(or more?) are still there in Windhoek I think?..... Blessings :)
Hi! Hi! I just watched and i am hooked...i am in Botswana and would love to visit Namibia, December 2018...please keep posting more videos. 😉
AfroAmericaninAfrica is this windhoek?
Where did you go. ? Please Come back with your videos. Missing you.
Try visiting the Caribbean, especially Jamaica 🇯🇲, nice climate, vibeszy people, lots of entertainment and lots to do and see in Jamaica and the Caribbean. Nice white sandy beaches. You will feel at home, you and your family will definitely fit in. The other elements will vanish such as crime etc. These things are everywhere and will be eradicated soon. Other wise it is great , lovely weather, great food, nice entertainment and racism is not prevalent here since majority of us are black but a few classism. But we understand ourselves. All in all visit Jamaica and the Caribbean. I myself just left The UK and return home to live in Jamaica. Going to tour the rest of the Caribbean soon.
You may think you have a boring life, but in actual you have a blessed life..Your husband is obviously making enough so you can stay home and raise your beautiful child..How many of us can do that here in the U.S..We have to celebrate Black Love more, so keep showing us your everyday life..because most of wished we lived around people who look like us without the fear and depression of Western societies. I have been to a couple of African countries..when you first get there, its like returning home..I can't wait to go back..hopefully one day live.
Facts my brother
Namibia is so beautiful and peaceful, I love your vlogs I don't care if it's "boring". Love you ❤
I am so proud of you guys, africa is more than a place to live, I am in Canada I am from angola, I lived before in South Africa, then I moved to USA, I visited Namibia for a week was so wonderful, I'll be back, to stay🤗🤗🤗🤗
look at how peaceful it is whenever I see videos like this the first thing I notice is the peaceful energy
Soon racism will get so bad that Dark skin people here in amerikkka will have to choose between fleeing or fighting. Your experience in the Motherland is priceless to those of us who plan to hit and run. Just looking at your videos of beautiful, safe, self governing, happily bored Dark skin people soothes my soul. Thank you
Thanks so much Aaron!
AARON PAYNE FAMILY unfortunately, I must say that i believe you are correct in saying either we will have to flee or fight! I'm presently in Europe and my family is stateside and I worry able them and the insanity!
Yes and I am afraid that if we do not all leave now there could come a time when we're force to stay here and wont be able to travel .Because the president he keeps coming up with all these ridiculous rules .
Frankly speaking, i don't know why you should plan to to move back to US. If Otjiwarongo is boring, it means there are opportunities in the entertainment industry for kids, adults..., there is a room to do something different. Also, it is a good city "town" for your parents to retire in. As tourism is growing in Namibia, so is the hospitality sector such as event planning, restaurant and bars, themes parks... Why not opening and a small but nice bar in Windhoek, i suggest a rooftop one with live music ;) ?
Do not move back to the US I'll be 60 in July and I'm planning on moving to Ghana it's not going to get any better..Blessings..
I hear you!
I m from Zambia and currently in Florida U.S, watching your videos reminds me so much of home, how i miss the simple southern African life.
when i do watch your videos I truly feel a somewhat reconnection to the motherland . I thank you sharing and letting us experience your family and your every day life.
Im zambian too x born in UK
Going back home forever
Zed for life
Hi, I plan to move to Zambia in Solwize outside of Lusaka. What can you tell me about moving there?
Zambian here based in Canada
@ wish I could help, but I left when I was young 13 yrs ago and I only visit once in a while and never been to solwezi
Defo not boring... I’d give an arm and a leg. It’s laid back and simple. Open spaces. I was born and raised in the south of Namibia lived in the UK for nearly decade, trust me you’re blessed..
I am African in America just enjoying your videos all the time and yes I am in America 5 years but I still wanna go back to my Africa and really feel for those who never know what Africa is
Thanks
I'm home sick binge watching your videos. I think I could live there. I don't believe it's going to get better here in America. Enjoying your videos ❤
I enjoy getting a glimpse of every day life in Africa. Us blacks in U.S. need to have unity! Hope u feel better sis.
Thank so much
Naturally Me I also came here to see what everyday life in Africa was like. It was good to see.
I wished that I was there... even if it was boring... for me.... boring is good... so, Namibia would be perfect.!...
Hello there! I have been following your video blogs since November and I want to encourage you to continue to share your experiences! You and your family are a beacon of light and hope to many of us here in America. The obvious surge of racism is on the rise and, there are many of us contemplating of removing ourselves. I want to acknowledge your talents and gifts as a journalist, wife and mother are needed there in Namibia.
Thank you so much for this supportive message. I really appreciate it and needed to hear it!
Bless you and your family. I applaud you for your courage and tenacity its truly inspiring. I should have made my move 60 years ago.
You inspire me! I'm saving my pennies. Next year I will visit Africa for sure 😌 I've always wanted to go.
Hadarah BatYah you will be welcome hadarah😘
Hadarah BatYah come to Namibia
Hadarah BatYah; Come to Congo....You are welcome Here.....I Love you already......🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I don't think you should never coming back to us, I am planning to move to Senegal Dakar. We are building a nice home there. If you are planning to move, you should move to another African country. But yes, I love your video please keep them coming we love them. We are waiting for the next video. Your son so handsome clean and beautiful family.
Thank you for watching!
I really love your videos, and you are well spoken. You have a wonderful family.Zimbabwean living in Canada. I hope I can achieve this dream of going back to live in Africa
I say stay there thing are getting worse here and you're video have inspired me to start looking for a country in Africa to live please keep making video you are helping our people see the truth about motherland ty ☺
Your son really looks like his dad and yourself. Such a beautiful family. God bless you
I have watched all your series and have have fallen in-love with it
Freedom is beautiful
Ma'am I live in Kenya and I need more videos from you!!
you live in Otjiwarongo.
That's my home town🙌
Excellent job of showing people the modern and traditional aspects of African life. It is important for people to see what it means to live there.
Greetings from St. Louis , MO! I just wandered in to this video and even though I see it was recorded several months ago, I wanted to thank you for sharing your morning with us and I hope that you are no longer sick!
It gets depressing living in this hellhole called Amerikkka. However, thanks for showing this video. It gives me hope to what to look for in the future
U make me realize there is hope for me.... finding a beautiful African Queen.... like U found an African King😀🏃 AFRICA!$@
Thanks for your videos. Keep living in your truth and take care of yourself and your family.
Lance Looks like he is going to want to participate way before you both will want him to... This is how they build dexterity and strength... Boys, Boys, Boys... Namibia is very Blessed, I see.. Thanks for sharing... They have everything! A cold, put on a extra piece of clothes, and drink some water for your headache... What you say may be true, but you are away from it now... We have a lot to go through till Yahusha comes the 2nd time... If you make it out you shouldn't be coming back, not so soon...
I really enjoy your videos. I'm from southern africa born and raised. I currently live in New York (Brooklyn)
but planning to move back home in the next 3-5 years. Coming to the US was my dream as a teenager. Made it happen, but now that im older quality of life means more to me than money.
I like that more African Americans are considering life in Africa :-)
On your videos I can definitely watch all the ads 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad you decided to film that outing with your family. Very refreshing to see. And I'm sure for many African Americans who have never been to the continent, this shows that Africa is not some barren savanna only meant for wildlife. I would say that a good thing to do with your son (if it is not too inconvenient) is to let him spend the first 10 yrs of his life in Namibia then when he's old enough to have a good sense of self, then you should move with to the U.S. so that he can get access to the educational opportunities. Of course you should decide what is most convenient for you and your family but I know you'll find that perfect middle ground. Please keep the videos coming! You got me contemplating moving back to Tanzania. The nostalgia is real.
Her son is safer in Namibia and with the mass incarceration and arrests of young black boys.The education is better and safer.He will grow up with self esteem.
I love how much you are embracing your small town life❤️
I am so ready for that kinda life when we go back to South Africa. We want to move to a small town away from Joburg.
A new Subscriber, I stumbled upon your channel and I just watched like 4 of your videos back to back. I'm a Zambian🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲 based in Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. Bless you and your family
So excited to watch this. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks so much for watching :)
Loving your spirit. Wishing you the best.
I'm not a fan of the word "flee" when it comes to the U.S. and African Americans in Africa. We help build the U.S. and dealing with the racism part of the society is a work in progress. My appreciation of Africa is its culture that I want instilled in my whole family - aunts/uncles/nieces/nephews,etc. and as an African American I want to contribute to improving Africa's infrastructure. Something I truly feel is that the better Africa is, Blacks around the world will be looked at in a different light. It's going to take a while.
I like what you're doing in Namibia and hope in your own way it improves the local area and beyond. Inspiring.
Building a house in Africa id not fleeing it calling investment. White American buy houses in Europe what more a black people cant invest in Africa.
Loved it. The sun is so bright, wow. And yes ma'am, you see this racist cloud forming a big storm over here. Now you know why you're there filming for us. It's becoming that time for us to flee. And no, keep your Mufasa and baby Simba in their prideland sista. Strong men are emasculated daily here. God bless and thank you for sharing
"Mufasa and baby Simba" That is adorable!! Love that :) Thanks so much for watching.
Dona O Awww that's adorable you're absolutely right. I'm planning on moving my little family to the continent as well.
AfroAmericaninAfrica we need more videos.
Hello my husband and I love your videos we think you should not come back to America a lot of African-Americans here with any kind of sense are really thinking about getting out and how we can make that move so continue to make your videos and Inspire us here that are trying to leave also
Dona O we Africans in Africa want you back, there is plenty of land and space for you all. Am happy she is enjoying with her family with zero pressure
Wow baby boy is soooo big now, he is running around! Awesome!
Thank you so much for another gr8 video even though you weren't feeling well. It's really refreshing to see two perspectives of racism in the U.S. I have southern roots so racism in NY is a cake walk. I'd love to see food hauls and if he's open to it, a husband tag or Q&A. Lance is adorbs😁 btw!
glad to hear you..... as a former single parent... i was lonely short of a social life as well.... yes, you will figure it out:)) looking forward to your next video.....
stay strong and i hope you feel better
Good stuff. I want that life. Grew up in African village towns and miss it a lot.
Open a go cart park or roller skating rink. Do they have tennis courts or bowling alleys what about golfing for kids. So many things to be done
You have created a beautiful life for yourself
You were the most beautiful earrings in every video! 👍🏾
Just watched your vid. I'm from Trinidad 🇹🇹. Keep doing your thing. #blackeducation #africaneducation
You are amazing every time I watch your videos. You always make me want to move from racist America! I need to go back to your first videos so I can see what made you move. I love the African dances, the culture is amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Your videos are soo good, love you and your family 😍😍
You said “what kinda wrestling is that” 😳😂😂 That was funny! Loved the video and experience
Aww so cute little Boo on his Dad's shoulders.
I’ll be in a position to do a lot of international traveling in about 2 years when my kids leave the house. I’ve been to Mother Africa(Djibouti) once when I was stationed there with the U.S. Marine Corps; I absolutely loved it. Only issue was that I became extremely sick due to a waterborne parasite almost killing me. Now I have to take medication for the rest of my life because when they killed the parasite, it caused my immune system to go into overdrive. Basically my immune system attacks my intestines. I have to do a chemotherapy treatment every six weeks to suppress my immune system. I know that most African countries are more modern than the media portrays here in the USA. I have given lots of thought towards moving to one of Africa’s nation but I have to be certain I’ll be able to have access to medical treatment that is basically keeping me alive.
Wow, so sorry to hear that happened (and for the late reply!)! Yes, South Africa and Kenya have pretty good *private* medical facilities.
Hi Kaylan...Its Vusi here in London England and I'm from Namibia...Im following you and as you know,Home-sick is kicking in sometimes.But my request or comment is:Please make videos of streets and life instead of us watching your beautiful face and listening to you.I mean your voice in the background and pictures or videos of what you are talking about.I really love your videos,and they are amazing...keep it up.
Lol love that CPT time was something passed down to us 😂
Beautiful family! When are you going to have more babies? The kids will entertain each other and as they get older they look out and take care of you!
I love your channel and you have a sweet family .
nice vid..looks like a nice peaceful town. hope you can hang in there only come back here to the U.S if absolutely neccassary. i want to visit Africa soon
I admire you and your family. I could tell you were from the east coast (I'm from Philly) by your accent. I also can tell you are a little homesick. It is hard to adjust to about anywhere coming from New York. My fiancee is from Brooklyn and she's easily bored. Philly keeps her marginally stimulated. It is nice to see a thriving black nuclear family like yours and within your native culture.
You just ran across my mind. Hope the baby boy energy management is working out! Thinking of you and yours all the way across the world. Trusting all is well. Best wishes from home, the US.
Great video. I love your family.
thank you :)
Cute....love this....from Nigeria
It's always a surprise when you post a video. Even before I watched it I checked to see how long it was and instantly became excited. I just wanted to say that you have a beautiful mind and I have a vast amount of respect for you. I totally agree with everything you've said about "that idiot". I am not going to go on about him because you're posting this video is far more important. To that end thanks for sharing. I'll catch up with you on Instagram while patiently waiting for your next video.
Thanks so much and you're right...why waste our breath talking about that fool?!
Dem i miss my home town otjiwarongo. Nice vid. Thnks fr th upload. I am subscribing
I have a question Are there any Beauty Salons or Nail Shops in Namibia? Or do you have to know how to do your own hair and nails
Love your videos..more please!!!
thanks so much, on the way :-)
It's amazing to me that the West/America always wants to portray Africa as trashy and backwards. All my life I thought Africa was a cesspool (53 years). I'm happy that we now have access to the Truth although I'm feeling some kind of way about the Lies 🤥 my Generation (and the ones before) came up with. Much Shalom to you and your Family, Sis. Thanks for sharing your lives with us 😊.
Watching this makes me miss home 🇪🇬 🇸🇩
Interesting stories!👍🏾
have you like tried visiting the coast,its pretty beautifull..and also have you like made friends just to chill with and so on...anyway i love you,my kind of person,chilled ,calm and your English is on point..
Wonderful
I've been to Swakopmund before! Not exactly my favorite place in Namibia...it's a bit too segregated in my opinion. But the ocean is beautiful. In this town I don't have many girlfriends, so to say. But I do have some friends.. Americans and Namibians and I've been meeting more and more people as of late.
Well I gues cs it's a small town . It's my home town thou, everyone always run to the city, Windhoek! As long as you comfortable where you are for now, am happy, looking forward to one day meet you! Kisses
Appreciate your honest convo- a very real one for us on the other side of the waters. Your vlog expands our options and gives us a view and brings us closer to a home only remembered in our DNA. This is a very real decision woke ones have to make..light or dark skin...we are all blacks to them and should not negotiate or settle for a system that barters our humanity.
Thanks so much for this commentary and for watching!
I hope your health is doing better now. If not your immune system is weak therefore causing multiple "colds" in a short period of time. Eat more fruit,vegetables and drink more water (helps flush toxins,bacteria,virus etc.) through the kidneys/liver. Peace and Blessings.
Kalk is not bad for you! i live in germany, its normal to drink from the Tab and it has a lot of Kalk in it :) I really enjoy your channel and also hope to go back home someday.
I like the way you speak English, so perfect!
augustin fambove piwo she's American
Thanks for this vlog. It's fascinating to watch life in Africa, even if you are just walking down the street. It's a beautiful environment to raise a family. I know exactly what you mean about the subtleties of racism in North America (I live in Canada). My husband is Ghanaian and has been here for a decade now and I still don't think he gets it!! I hope you will continue to vlog. Stay well
Yes, exactly!! The subtleties are real and my husband isn't hip to all of that. Plus my dad lives in Manhattan and people there can be so brash. My husband adapts pretty well on the surface when we visit and many immigrants do but I don't know.. definitely leaves a lot to consider.
Good to here from you! May God continue to bless your beautiful family! Are you planning on putting Lance in preschool?
I wish I lived in Africa!
Come to South Africa, its more like mini America, we consume lot of american culture and lifestyle its almost the same, again we have world class cities that you can choose from.
Imagine TV with Renee' come back home, anywhere in Africa will be home. The people are amazing
Get your escape plan together 🌍🖤🏴🌚
Hi, "calkc" is calcium in the water. This means your water is very hard, and scale builds up very fast in your kettle.
For your cold, I recommend that you take "Flugon". This also builds up you immune system. I started to take one capsule each morning in March after my last cold, and voila, it works! No cold up to now. For now, get well soon!
Thanks for the great commentary as always Barbara! I have been meaning to google Calc too. That's exactly what happens here... the water leaves this build up on everything and it's so annoying! I will also look for some Flugon too, thanks again.
You can remove this build up with vinegar mixed with water. On my kettle, I use plain vinegar. It is ok if you buy spirit vinegar which is cheaper. A wonderful and blessed Sunday to you.
Girl your son reminds me so much of my second son! Fireball of energy. My husband always says if he was first we would've thought twice to have another so soon! Lol! And winter there sounds like Vegas! Freezing wind with hot sun lol! I'm jealous because I could fry an egg on my car right now😂😂. And girl I feel like I've been in the twilight zone since November too. president Trump is an oxymoron and I refuse to say it. Lol.i love seeing Namibia! So interesting ! Loved this💜
LOL, yes! Exactly! Sooo much energy! LOL! And yup, I've even heard people say Namibia looks a lot certain American states in the mid-west and west coast... it's a lot of desert country so your description is spot on! And yes, he's a complete oxy (moron). lol Thanks so much for watching!
I love your video
I miss Africa
You are too much i love your video you do not even sound like you are new in Your ancestral land koodos and try to visit west africa in particular Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Liberia and others.
Hi. I'm from Namibia and I really enjoy watching your videros. I'd just like to know what town is this?
Interesting about the water, How much do you all spend on water a single month?
Great video...still some strong black women...In the world?👸💪🌍 AFRICA
Enjoyed wrestling. Reminded wrestling in childhood in my village!
do you have a link (vlog) about how you and your husband met?
what town is that? I'm coming to Windhoek in a couple months
Would reverse osmosis be able to treat your tap water?
South African music has been a hidden gem for decades!!! great stuff, no wonder Drake is borrowing from them
Yes, so true, I only discovered it by living in Namibia. Before then I was truly missing out!
You have a cute baby boy !
Will you and family be visiting the U.S. to see your family?
welcome to our beautiful coutry
by the way what is the name of the song in the video..??
The rope is a safety barrier . Do not cross. It looks like an electrical underground power supply. Very dangerous.
I'd be curious to see a video about racism in Namibia.
How often do you encounter it?
What about tribalism?
Thanks for the video
Recently stumbled upon your channel when I started looking for Namibian youtubers. I am Namibian and Oshiwambo. I was looking for inspiration to start a RUclips channel and I now i started a channel too. Why did you stop posting?
Namibia is beautiful. I see English on the signs. Is English commonly spoken there? I thought German was more common.
I would have loved to meet the so called African American that gave your husband problems.. and see what his problem his.!
Just ignore dem' jackasses.. but I liked the way you handled it.! LIKE A SISTAH.. LOL..
