    Good conversation with your Dad. The chemistry between you and your dad is priceless. Back when l was growing there was nothing like sitting down and having a conversation with your dad. Most African dads only gave instructions and we follow, No questions asked. Good conversation, waiting for part 2

    WOW, Adventist Men Sabbath Night and other Church Event Addiction! DOMINOS!!! and they are so passionate about slapping a small rock tile with numbered dots on a table; sometimes I think they'd break the poor little tiles and tables with one slap.
    I remember as a little girl growing up on the island, my late dad taught me how to play the game by being able to read the tiles played by each individual player especially when they passed their turn. I didn't stick with it as the players yelled too much. He then taught me how to play checkers instead. Some most cherished memories of my most loved parent #daddysgirl#misshimsomuch.
    Lovely interview with daddy and daughter❤Blessings🙏

    God bless your parents, your dad’s is awesome 👏🏾 I enjoyed his honesty in telling the stories as they are, as a pastor now many will only focus on their goody part when telling such stories. My uncle Joe who came to England in the 50’s tells similar stories about racism and bullying from the Caribbean’s.

My mother went through a similar experience when she was a young child in Ghana. I would love to see a video with your parents talking about navigating an intercultural marriage and giving advice to others on that path. Naomi you are doing wonderful inspiring work!! Much love 💜

    I love the honesty in your dad, some other person wouldn't give All the details of their childhood and as a minister of the gospel that is what the almighty God want from his fowlers and in my humble opinion that would off make him a person who is compassionate and caring minister who is Christlike in his ability to council young people and also caring for seniors and spend time with the men and socialize by taking part of the game he previously mentioned,I can continue but as I close I just want to say that you are an amazing person and that is what a Christ like sprite Jesus Christ had My the almighty God keep you and your legacy will live on in your children and your çhildren children. Blessings to you and your daughter for such an awesome father and daughter conversation 🙏😇☮️❤️🇹🇹.
