Moving to Dallas next month. Just my dog and I from NC and this video was extremely helpful. She really explained everything that someone needs to know and she was raw about it too ❤️
I actually drove to Texas about 2 weeks ago well Arlington to be exact I fell in love instantly... So I was sadden to leave but I made up my mind to move to Dallas in about 6 months from Milwaukee... I'm about to hit 30 bout in 2 1/2 months and I'm ready for change... But I drove to fort Worth and Dallas only thing I dislike is Dallas traffic but other than that I love it
I’m late I know, but I’ve been pressed to move out to Dallas from the DMV, so I appreciate this vid! I’ve been apprehensive, but this brought reassurance.. 🙌🏾 Praying that The Lord continues to send provision and you prosper!
@NiceOne not to butt in but the reason I left is becus it can get down rite depressing and why in the hecknshud I suffer under -10degree weather and gain weight eating my beloved gyro burgers and Harold's and Maxwell's polish and jjs... it's aso makes me anxious u can't even go to Michigan Ave withou sumbody shooting it up. it's become a diff place... a wayy diff place Then what I know it from
Its good to know theres black neighborhoods doing well in either city. Its just not the same when many feel they gotta move to uppity white neighborhoods and many still don't fit in, like I see in my current state.
Don't listen to them Desoto , Duncanville , cedar hill is for rich black people but the kids act a fool over there shooting each other for no reason ur best bet is lancaster , irving , Garland , Richardson
I want to move to DFW but my BF Wants to go to San Diego. Looks like I’ll have to make a sacrifice because I’m from Baltimore and I’m not going to San Diego so, DALLAS HERE I COME
I'm from cali san Diego is high in price it's very Beautiful, but your paying for it. The average apartment will run you 1600 and it will not be nice lol
San Diego is nice but REALLY expensive. The cheaper apartments will run you close to $1,500/month and those are the ones that were built in the 80's but renovated recently. A newer apartment will cost you $2,000/month average; home prices average $600,000. Move to DFW... I plan to move to Dallas once I pass my CPA exams.
Yeah Dallas traffic is actually better than most similar sized metro areas. Just look at the map and you will are very long roads and highways that are wide enough to take you all over. Plenty of alternate routes too. Many cities really have 1 option to get from A to B. Dallas has several N - S, E-W and loops
i recently moved to mesquite and getting an interview in the dallas area was fairly easy, just the big city vibe is pretty scary at first, im a small town girl so it was a lil different. but its def HUMID af. idek what to wear most dayss
Girl I am moving to North of Dallas! A few major reasons but God is telling me to leave California immediately so we should def meet up one day! #TeamJesus
Come on down..there's alot of marylanders here.. Mostly Newyorkers, Floridians, Californians, Oklahomans, Mississippians,Alabaman, Louisianans,Etc. You'll like it here...if you want cheap rent move to The MidCities or the Upper Suburbs
Hey Ayesha (did I spell it correctly?)! I'm just coming across this vid. Yeah, I know, Johnny Come Lately!😂 Welcome to Big D! I hope you're still here and thriving! I moved here 18 years ago and I love it! I wish you would have hit on the Arts District. So great! From BTW School for PA, to The Wylie,Myerson. City Performance Hall, and Winspear, The DMA. Such a vibrant community and Klyde Warren Park, not to mention Music Hall , The African American History Museum (THE STATE FAIR of TEXAS!!!), THE perot Museum. AND SPORTS?! Oh yeah! EVERYTHING you could possibly want! Especially now that The Dallas Wings are in full force! And yeah, we have a pretty decent amusement park (6F). I live in north Dallas too. Although I hear gunfire at least 3 times a month. I still feel safer here than some other areas. And don't forget ALL the restaurant spaces, esp in Addison! As far as dating sites, girl, stay away. You can always find quality people in almost every area of The Metroplex. I wish you well, and hope you continue to prosper.
From the dmv moved to Memphis and been here since 2014 … moving this year 🥰 I’m excited! Thanks for this! Definitely a city type girl and Dallas gives those vibes!
I live in dallas!! And I’m so glad I found your channel, we need to link up at this point Lol. I have a RUclips channel and I’m always talking about the dallas traffic 😫 this video is really helpful for people who don’t know what it’s like in dallas. You gorgeous btw 💕
She's Bri Awwww!!! Well, what are your interests boo? What all do you like to do? Sometimes all it takes it hanging out with the right group of people! Haha! I moved to Texas from Tampa, Fl. Yes, I live near Dallas now. 🎉
Pretty Royal Queen I love shopping! And just going out and things.. going to eat and different places stuff like that, and oouuuu awesome! Well I don’t have many friends here Lol (barley any actually ) maybe we can become friends and wow from Florida 😱
Great personality, it is a lot of RUclipsr telling you to move to Dallas but some of them spend 50% of the video talking about themselves instead of Dallas.
Love your energy and spirit! Thanks for this video. It was very very helpful! I’m from Florida too (Miami!!!) but I live in DC now and am looking at Dallas as my next (and hopefully my final) home.
Thank you for making this video! I really could relate to when you said that you just knew you wanted to move there. It was the same for me too. But I was a little worried about whether I would be okay without a car, depending only on public transportation.
I'm moving to Dallas towards the end of February, this was so helpful thank you. All of my research online told me that public transportation wasn't great in Dallas. I didn't even know they had trains! After growing up around D.C. I was dreading having to drive in the city.
Public Transportation is good here..it just doesn't hit the Big attraction areas. Train systems to choose from are: DART DCTA TexRail TRE The subway in Dallas is great too. Public transportation is actually getting better. Over the past 2-3months traffic has really decreased..because The train and bus routes have increased. Dallas is also getting a bullet train in the coming years..it'll really help with Traffic.
$1269 for a 2/2?! Please give more tips about apt searching because when I look online all of the places I like the most is 1200+ for a one bedroom, I’m like damn.
It took some searching and the market has changed since last summer, but really think about what you’re willing to sacrifice! All my searching was done through apartments.com & apartment list. I didn’t even physically tour apartments, when I found one with what I wanted, in my budget and a good area, I went for it. Also, many apartments host move in specials where a first month of rent is free or you can prorate it across your lease term. That also helps in getting your preferences within your budget!
Ayisha Nicole Thank you! That’s exactly where I’ve been searching maybe I need to look into more areas. Wow you really took a chance that’s good it worked out for you
LaDonna2007 Yes I look in surrounding areas but I’m still learning about all of the areas that’s actually good to live in with black people as well lol so its a struggle
I would love to meet people in Dallas I just got a divorce and moved here from Houston 2 months ago but I am afraid of meeting people that I won't get along with😩
Shantal Stone Awwww! Don’t feel that way sweetie! There’s so many cool and nice women of God that live here whom I’m sure would love to hangout with you! Step out on faith! 😇
I tell people to go to Frisco or Prosper if they've got kids from high school and down those two districts have better education it's very humid here and sometimes we don't even have a winter
I know exactly what this girl is talking about I thought the heat here was way more crazy than South Florida I moved here from South Why move to Texas from South Florida and I I was born in San Diego so I definitely can relate to these two stories
k. rain Yes but only 2 days a week, I work from home the other 3 days. It’s really blah lol so I can just tell you. I drive a mile around the corner to the train station and get on for about 17 min to Downtown Dallas & walk maybe 3-4 minutes to my office from there!
I've been considering moving to Dallas for a little while and have looked up a few different areas in Dallas. I do plan on visiting in the near future to get a good feel for it. What do you think of the Deep Ellum area? It seems like a desirable area to live in, with a great night life and tons of restaurants. Definitely seems like my kind of area. The cost of living there is definitely higher than many other areas, but understandable due to the nightlife. As far as traffic is concerned, I've dealt with Miami traffic before (horrible traffic and some of the most aggressive drivers I've ever encountered), so hopefully I can handle Dallas traffic. :)
I've been stuck between Austin, San Ant, Houston, and Dallas for the last 3 months. Still looking for a city to reside in. Any suggestions? Past experiences?
This is so helpful! I’m looking into moving to DFW from NYC. Can you believe I pay $1000 for just a room in a 3 bedroom apartment with only 1 bath that I have to share? I’m a southern girl, so I’m excited to get back down south. Thanks for the tips!
Ouch! $1000 for a room?? I'm from Texas my house payment was not even $1000 a month! I did buy it in the 90's and it's paid off thank god! But I can't even imagine paying that for a room! I do want to visit NYC just because I think it is a totally different world then DFW! I would love to see how other people in this great country live. So weird were from the same country but live totally different lives.
Lmao sounds like LA I’m paying $1412 for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 700sq ft apartment utilities not included I found so many great 2 and 3 bedroom houses for rent for $1300+ and add in there’s no income tax. It’s almost impossible not to move to TX 😂
I keep hearing people talk about how bad the traffic is there but apparently they haven't been to Atlanta or even L.A. I've lived in both and no other city is worse than those 2 cities.
I am planning a move as well, but the thing is how will we get an apartment when we move? Won’t all landlords and complexes ask for paystubs? I plan to go with a few thousand savings and try to immediately find a job there with my other half once we get there. But what if it takes a while before I find a job and won’t afford a hotel by then?
iesha monix okay first, HEYYY NAME TWIN 💕💕 what are the odds girl I commend you for just thinking of that transition to a new city. That’s HUGE & yes, who knows! Rooting for you love !
You're pretty. I also find this video informative. I used to live in Florida as well around Pinellas/Hillsborough but looking at Dallas area, maybe Irving.
My name is Brendan Daugherty I’m 20yrs old from Iowa i moved to Iowa at 18 to be in my first relationship and its 2020 and she wants a new her by going back to her ex so i need a new start and this video helped me sooo much that i made it to Dallas now with a great place and i had no car when i came to Dallas and had 4K in my pocket and i made it its 2020 we got this
Omgosh Ayisha, I am thinking about seriously moving to Dallas, TX!!! Any tips on a girl moving from Mississippi? How to search for a good paying job? Apartment complexes? How much to save?
I want to move to Dallas, I graduate with my associates degree next year May 2019 and I’ll be turning 30 next year as well.I’m nervous, kind of scared but a bit excited because I know Dallas gave so much opportunity! I’m just sick about leaving my family here in Arkansas. How do you cope with not being around your family?
Arkansas is a beautiful state with really great people. It's much prettier than Texas. If I was from Arkansas I would be sad to leave too but it's all about the economy. Don't expect Arkansas beauty in DFW. But be happy your a few hour flight back home to enjoy those hot springs and you can do it in a weekend!
I lived in St Pete and I can tell you city wise, Id prefer Dallas. Tampa was even better than St Pete I thought. Pinellas has some trails and good outdoors but other than that, I wouldn't go with it outside of select towns/areas. Largo and St Pete though, no. But to me Dallas and Tampa is a close decision. Irving might be like Bradenton. Seems so.
@@LongLeggedOne thank you for your input! I work in St Pete and I agree that it has a lot of outdoorsy things to do, but that's about it. I plan on visiting Dallas next month to check it out and plan on moving probably within the next 6 months.
@@shereelorraine1 Yea to me, a place that focuses on the outdoors is more a new thing. More places have been doing that.. its not good when people need to work though as everythings all about the trails and less to do with social or work. I am currently in Portland OR right now, and this is about the worst place I ever lived in for depression and snobs. St Pete is pretty depressed too although much nicer weather and beaches. I just don't do well in these kinda places. Even Sarasota is for rich retirees and yuppies. And on a final note, I decided to not go to Vegas, was considering but did not. Looks like Dallas is the front runner for me.
Yes the traffic is horrible!!! I have been here for 9 years ( relocated from Shreveport Louisiana) and it has gotten worse within the last 4 years . By the time the weekend gets here I don't want to go anywhere I just want to be home away from sitting in traffic trying to go somewhere , the cost of living is going up too compared to 9 years ago when I moved here . Considering moving back to Louisana on the outskirts of town within the next few years , It has been nice for my children they are all grown now so they will most likely stay here but I am ready to go lol ... tired of the commute of an hour trying to get to work .
Los Colinas,Valley Ranch,Frisco, Downtown,Uptown,Midtown,Plano, Park Cities, Little Elm,Addison,Rockwall,the colony,prosper, McKinney,Allen, Irving,CedarHill,Lancaster, Burleson, Richardson MidCities: Euless, Bedford, Colleyville,North Richland hills, Richland hills, Pantego, Lewisville,Hurst, Grapevine, GrandPrarie Are the best... But Los Colinas, Valley Ranch, Downtown, Uptown, Frisco are expensive
How are the IT salaries? Specifically, cybersecurity? Im a major city in the Northeast and think salaries in the south will be lowballing me on my skills. Also, Im used to fast paced living, is this in Dallas?
I loved your video. I’m moving to Dallas from Louisiana. Can I know the name of the apartment complex? It’s exactly what I’m looking for in my price range
Ive been doing research for a few days. I’m planning to move soon from NYC. I’m a single mom of a 10 year old black boy and I’m torn between Plano and Frisco to live to raise him. 😩
Hiii new subscriber to your channel❤️ btw everyone is saying I need a car but I don’t have one and it’s a little hard for me atm and I’m need to get the hell out of Virginia! What do you think I should do?
Do you know anything regarding the Plano , Frisco area? I’ll be moving next month and will like to know how’s the diversity in those areas is it a comfortable place for African Americans or do you know of any suburban areas in Dallas that’ll be more suitable for black people
@日 イデア Big Ideas thanks for your reply. May I ask which suburbs/cities in the DFW are the best for dating? I'm a single black man in higher education looking date and hopefully settle down after some point.
You can make a shit ton of money in Dallas. It's fairly easy. All you have to do is be willing to work. There's always something to do. The big minus is that because there's always something to do, it's real easy to burn through all that extra money you make.
I am a black woman in my 40's from California, with a bachelors degree, living in the DFW area. My career field is ecommerce merchandising and operations, I have been here 1 month and have not landed a job yet. If anyone has any suggestions or advice with finding work in the DFW area in ecommerce please contact me.
update your resume again and continue to practice your interviewing skills. also google ecommerce business in Dallas and go to their career section of their website
Colud you use please microphone on your body or blouse? Just for improving your audio. I mean the sound is not good in this way of recording. Many thank, this is Tito drom El Salvador. Great speech congratulations!!!
@@jennr4640 It's not that bad of a place at all, but just not my vibe anymore. North and Central Tampa is pretty diverse, while South Tampa isn't to me. But South Tampa is closer to the beach, lots of food and drink, along with a lot of things to do in general. Also very Greek life driven, sororities and frats take over a lot of the hotspots sometimes. Your enjoyment here will be based on where you're moving from, and what you're interested in.
Hey girl! Hey!!! I’m coming from Tampa, FL & will be moving to Dallas July 2019! My biggest concern is meeting ppl. Can you do a vid on how you networked & social life. I find it soooooo hard here in Tampa, as I’m not a native Floridan, I find it so hard to network & find respectable-friends. There’s also no culture. Oh and who did your hair? It looks amazing. Ima def need a natural hairstylist!
idk about DFW but there are in Killeen (north Austin) & Houston so I'm sure there are...try Plano (along Preston Rd) or Richardson areas.. i wouldn't mention it verbally, just put it on the application IF they even ask
I’m from Cleveland, I go back and forth to NY for work but I think I would love Dallas, NY is too expensive 😖😖 comparing prices on living is crazy compared to NY.
Moving to Dallas next month. Just my dog and I from NC and this video was extremely helpful. She really explained everything that someone needs to know and she was raw about it too ❤️
NyaRue aww congratulations! & thanks so much for your kind words love 💕

@jaxson James I am not sure yet. I have never visited Dallas, the irony. However, I am looking into North Dallas. Any recommendations?
I've lived in Dallas since 2001 and I love it!
Me too!!!
Nicole BROWN hey which areas do you recommend that’s nice with a decent amount of black people?
Im thinking on moving there an going to a shelter what you think about the shelters

I'm moving to Dallas in October! How is it?
I tell people to go to Frisco or Prosper if they've got kids from high school and down those two districts have better education it's very humid here and sometimes we don't even have a winter
How was your move?
@@AshlyCT
HUGE!!!
Suburban
Fast paste
Cheap
Hot!!
I know exactly what this girl is talking about I thought the heat here was way more crazy than South Florida I moved here from South Why move to Texas from South Florida and I I was born in San Diego so I definitely can relate to these two stories
I lived in Addison at the Savoye and now live in Little Elm. Frisco is nice!
I’m curious about the train (dart) system, do you commute to work on dart? If so can you do a video on your commute?
k. rain Yes but only 2 days a week, I work from home the other 3 days. It’s really blah lol so I can just tell you. I drive a mile around the corner to the train station and get on for about 17 min to Downtown Dallas & walk maybe 3-4 minutes to my office from there!
What she's getting is a deal I'm from Dallas it's a little about the same price for a one bedroom in Frisco or Prosper
Thank you so much for this I’m actually moving to Dallas on Monday 09/31/2020 I am really excited for my move!
I've been considering moving to Dallas for a little while and have looked up a few different areas in Dallas. I do plan on visiting in the near future to get a good feel for it. What do you think of the Deep Ellum area? It seems like a desirable area to live in, with a great night life and tons of restaurants. Definitely seems like my kind of area. The cost of living there is definitely higher than many other areas, but understandable due to the nightlife. As far as traffic is concerned, I've dealt with Miami traffic before (horrible traffic and some of the most aggressive drivers I've ever encountered), so hopefully I can handle Dallas traffic. :)
Uh just scanned through you’re videos saw a “pinky promise” video which means you know about heather Lindsey 😭 new subscriber! I love heather Lindsey
Jordann Scott Yesss I love her too! Thanks for subscribing Jordan 🥰❤️
We love living in Dallas. Great video!
I've been stuck between Austin, San Ant, Houston, and Dallas for the last 3 months. Still looking for a city to reside in. Any suggestions? Past experiences?
I'm debating between las vegas & Dallas. Myself
Thanks for the videos
I live this video! I’m thinking of movin to go to school near Dallas thank you for this video!!
Thankuu for this video!! Seriously considering Dallas
This is so helpful! I’m looking into moving to DFW from NYC. Can you believe I pay $1000 for just a room in a 3 bedroom apartment with only 1 bath that I have to share? I’m a southern girl, so I’m excited to get back down south. Thanks for the tips!
I did it 3 months ago and don’t miss nyc at all
Ouch! $1000 for a room?? I'm from Texas my house payment was not even $1000 a month! I did buy it in the 90's and it's paid off thank god! But I can't even imagine paying that for a room! I do want to visit NYC just because I think it is a totally different world then DFW! I would love to see how other people in this great country live. So weird were from the same country but live totally different lives.
Lmao sounds like LA I’m paying $1412 for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 700sq ft apartment utilities not included I found so many great 2 and 3 bedroom houses for rent for $1300+ and add in there’s no income tax. It’s almost impossible not to move to TX 😂
I keep hearing people talk about how bad the traffic is there but apparently they haven't been to Atlanta or even L.A. I've lived in both and no other city is worse than those 2 cities.
I am planning a move as well, but the thing is how will we get an apartment when we move? Won’t all landlords and complexes ask for paystubs? I plan to go with a few thousand savings and try to immediately find a job there with my other half once we get there. But what if it takes a while before I find a job and won’t afford a hotel by then?
I clicked this too fast 😳 hey girl!!
Jai R lol heyyyy girllll
Omg I’m from Sarasota, Fl. I plan on moving to Dallas within the next yr 💃🏾. Hopefully we’ll run into each other
iesha monix okay first, HEYYY NAME TWIN 💕💕 what are the odds girl I commend you for just thinking of that transition to a new city. That’s HUGE & yes, who knows! Rooting for you love !
You're pretty. I also find this video informative. I used to live in Florida as well around Pinellas/Hillsborough but looking at Dallas area, maybe Irving.
My name is Brendan Daugherty I’m 20yrs old from Iowa i moved to Iowa at 18 to be in my first relationship and its 2020 and she wants a new her by going back to her ex so i need a new start and this video helped me sooo much that i made it to Dallas now with a great place and i had no car when i came to Dallas and had 4K in my pocket and i made it its 2020 we got this
BANDITS well congratulations Brendan! That’s amazing & thanks for sharing! Your new chapter will bring you even greater blessings! Welcome to Dallas!
Taxes...plz gurl...all the toll ways make up for taxes ....rent over price due msjor companies moving to Dallas.
Omgosh Ayisha, I am thinking about seriously moving to Dallas, TX!!! Any tips on a girl moving from Mississippi? How to search for a good paying job? Apartment complexes? How much to save?
Kyraaaa, hey girl! Check out my last few vids in my Dallas Series Reloaded! The touring and job market specifically!
I want to move to Dallas, I graduate with my associates degree next year May 2019 and I’ll be turning 30 next year as well.I’m nervous, kind of scared but a bit excited because I know Dallas gave so much opportunity! I’m just sick about leaving my family here in Arkansas. How do you cope with not being around your family?
Arkansas is a beautiful state with really great people. It's much prettier than Texas. If I was from Arkansas I would be sad to leave too but it's all about the economy. Don't expect Arkansas beauty in DFW. But be happy your a few hour flight back home to enjoy those hot springs and you can do it in a weekend!
Your family can go see you people in Dallas are very friendly I recommend Frisco or Prosper because it's a little bit nicer
Christine Gill Arkansas is only nice because it has the bathhouse is the race track for horse racing and it's cheaper living
God told me to move to Dallas now like next month September 2020, then boom your video pops up unexpectedly.
Thanks for sharing this video! I currently live in Tampa Florida and have been thinking of relocating, so this was helpful!
I lived in St Pete and I can tell you city wise, Id prefer Dallas. Tampa was even better than St Pete I thought. Pinellas has some trails and good outdoors but other than that, I wouldn't go with it outside of select towns/areas. Largo and St Pete though, no. But to me Dallas and Tampa is a close decision. Irving might be like Bradenton. Seems so.
@@LongLeggedOne thank you for your input! I work in St Pete and I agree that it has a lot of outdoorsy things to do, but that's about it. I plan on visiting Dallas next month to check it out and plan on moving probably within the next 6 months.
@@shereelorraine1 Yea to me, a place that focuses on the outdoors is more a new thing. More places have been doing that.. its not good when people need to work though as everythings all about the trails and less to do with social or work. I am currently in Portland OR right now, and this is about the worst place I ever lived in for depression and snobs. St Pete is pretty depressed too although much nicer weather and beaches. I just don't do well in these kinda places. Even Sarasota is for rich retirees and yuppies. And on a final note, I decided to not go to Vegas, was considering but did not. Looks like Dallas is the front runner for me.
What about tornados??!! Have you experienced any of that? Is it just certain parts, etc?
We just had tornado like 3 or 4 months ago
But dallas city area rarely get tornado
The south and West areas of DFW don't get tornadoes as much.
But if you wanna move here it's to be expected...some People can't handle it.
@@neiandresamuels5428 all of DFW get tornado
@@dmobibj1401 not really the Fortworth Area.. Fortworth hasn't had a tornado in Years..but yeah u right..
Yes the traffic is horrible!!! I have been here for 9 years ( relocated from Shreveport Louisiana) and it has gotten worse within the last 4 years . By the time the weekend gets here I don't want to go anywhere I just want to be home away from sitting in traffic trying to go somewhere , the cost of living is going up too compared to 9 years ago when I moved here . Considering moving back to Louisana on the outskirts of town within the next few years , It has been nice for my children they are all grown now so they will most likely stay here but I am ready to go lol ... tired of the commute of an hour trying to get to work .
Giirrl drop the skin care routine
Great video, subscribed, the best I have seen !

Just one question, I'm likely about to move to Dallas. Can you please tell me where you get your hair done? Your faux locs are bombbbb
OJFinCho thank you! @StylesByDavi on Instagram!

NK Inclusive I agree that would be awesome and great idea! 😊
Welcome to Texas!!! Hello from Prairie View 30 miles North of Houston!! WELCOME
What are the best and nicest areas to live in Dallas?
Los Colinas,Valley Ranch,Frisco, Downtown,Uptown,Midtown,Plano, Park Cities, Little Elm,Addison,Rockwall,the colony,prosper, McKinney,Allen, Irving,CedarHill,Lancaster, Burleson, Richardson
MidCities: Euless, Bedford, Colleyville,North Richland hills, Richland hills, Pantego, Lewisville,Hurst, Grapevine, GrandPrarie
Are the best...
But Los Colinas, Valley Ranch, Downtown, Uptown, Frisco are expensive
How are the IT salaries? Specifically, cybersecurity? Im a major city in the Northeast and think salaries in the south will be lowballing me on my skills. Also, Im used to fast paced living, is this in Dallas?
the train is in certain neighborhoods. usually downtown and white areas. so i wouldn't say the city is public transportation friendly
Ummm there’s trains all throughout the hood in Dallas.
I loved your video. I’m moving to Dallas from Louisiana. Can I know the name of the apartment complex? It’s exactly what I’m looking for in my price range
Ive been doing research for a few days. I’m planning to move soon from NYC. I’m a single mom of a 10 year old black boy and I’m torn between Plano and Frisco to live to raise him. 😩
Hey girl, I’m happy for you! Where did you move from, and how long have you been there? I’m in San Antonio and I’m looking to move.
Oh Shh, It’s Vegan? Thank you!! I moved from Tampa, FL & I’ve been in Dallas 2 years in July!
Can you do clothing haul? Where to get clothes in Dallas?
North Park Center
Galleria
Stonebriar Center
Any major shopping center.
Like Park Lane
Legacy west
Shops at Allen
Grand prairie outlets...etc.
Everywhere.. especially in the Suburbs
Hey girl...new to Dallas. Love your locs...can you tell me who did them? I have to rebuild my whole beauty team again😂
Witney Baah hey lol her information is toward the top of the description box!
Ayisha Nicole thankss💛
Ayisha Nicole girl I hate to tell you what you got is pretty darn cheap for the area
Hiii new subscriber to your channel❤️ btw everyone is saying I need a car but I don’t have one and it’s a little hard for me atm and I’m need to get the hell out of Virginia! What do you think I should do?
I loved this video so much
I guess Im cheap cause $1269 for a 2 bedroom is expensive. Michigan has that for $950 a month. Of course we have the expensive ones as well
That's cool people want to plant roots here but make sure yall vote red or it will feel like you never left
I'm from la, ca and I wanna move to Dallas when I'm older
Definitely cheaper here...Alrhou the cost of living in the Inner city is on the rise..it's still cheap
Do you know anything regarding the Plano , Frisco area? I’ll be moving next month and will like to know how’s the diversity in those areas is it a comfortable place for African Americans or do you know of any suburban areas in Dallas that’ll be more suitable for black people
@日 イデア Big Ideas is what you described still like that?
@日 イデア Big Ideas thanks for your reply. May I ask which suburbs/cities in the DFW are the best for dating? I'm a single black man in higher education looking date and hopefully settle down after some point.
You can make a shit ton of money in Dallas. It's fairly easy. All you have to do is be willing to work. There's always something to do. The big minus is that because there's always something to do, it's real easy to burn through all that extra money you make.
Good job on the video ! Great information provided!
I am a black woman in my 40's from California, with a bachelors degree, living in the DFW area. My career field is ecommerce merchandising and operations, I have been here 1 month and have not landed a job yet. If anyone has any suggestions or advice with finding work in the DFW area in ecommerce please contact me.
update your resume again and continue to practice your interviewing skills. also google ecommerce business in Dallas and go to their career section of their website
go to job fairs
Utilize your church
Will I stay alive during Summer?
Francis Bellati lol YES! It’s not as bad as people make it out to be!
@@AyishaNicole This is so relieving to hear! I'll probably be spending next Summer in Dallas! Can't wait!
You'll live 😂😂
New to your channel thank you and yes I agree with all you’re beautiful and I really love your necklace #teamJesus ❤️🌺🌹🤗🌸

Thanks for sharing girly am from dallas tx 💙
Awesome video!!
Moving to cedar hill tx in a couple of months!
I live in Tampa FL, and I'm honestly considering moving to Dallas next year!
Jayda Simone how do you like Tampa? I was considering there but am changing my mind
@@jennr4640 It's not that bad of a place at all, but just not my vibe anymore. North and Central Tampa is pretty diverse, while South Tampa isn't to me. But South Tampa is closer to the beach, lots of food and drink, along with a lot of things to do in general. Also very Greek life driven, sororities and frats take over a lot of the hotspots sometimes. Your enjoyment here will be based on where you're moving from, and what you're interested in.
Hey girl! Hey!!! I’m coming from Tampa, FL & will be moving to Dallas July 2019! My biggest concern is meeting ppl. Can you do a vid on how you networked & social life. I find it soooooo hard here in Tampa, as I’m not a native Floridan, I find it so hard to network & find respectable-friends. There’s also no culture. Oh and who did your hair? It looks amazing. Ima def need a natural hairstylist!
Ava Bacardiii hey , follow me on ig! I literally just moved to Dallas from Ohio this month and having the same issues lol . @kailynneva
Hey I'm from Miami. I'll also be moving to Dallas by the end of August. I'm wishing you the best of luck
Dee' Vetria awww same to you!
Hey! I'm from St. Louis planning to move in July as well!
Sips Tea awesome! I’m guilty of trying to rush time. I have been constantly reminding myself Jesus time is perfect timing🙏🏾
Is it fairly easy for a felon to get housing, especially if felony is over 10 years old?
idk about DFW but there are in Killeen (north Austin) & Houston so I'm sure there are...try Plano (along Preston Rd) or Richardson areas.. i wouldn't mention it verbally, just put it on the application IF they even ask
I’m from Cleveland, I go back and forth to NY for work but I think I would love Dallas, NY is too expensive 😖😖 comparing prices on living is crazy compared to NY.
NYC is will leave you poor
