Ummm, can we take a minute to shout out Claudette's aunt?? 80 Where?!😱She looks phenomenal!
RIGHT?! 😮😍 ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! She and Mama Nilda, and Claudette, and the girls, and Lana. I mean sheeesh - beauty radiating on blast! 🤩
I thought the same thing. 80??? No way she looks amazing
I rewind it 3 times and added subtitles to make sure she said “80” 🤣
I feel like you’re creating a digital scrapbook for your girls. Having my first, a baby girl, in August. Thank you for inspiring me to create something similar for my little girl 🥰🥰.
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!!! And Congratulations! Oh what a blessing! Yessss please take lots of pics and video and even when you don’t feel like being in front of the camera do it! I remember not wanting to take pics cause I felt blahhh, was tired, didn’t feel cute. Take the pics anyway!!! You will appreciate it later! And so will your kids ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@claudeandco. Thank you so much for the well wishes and sage advice 🥰!
I look forward to this every Wednesday on my lunch!!!!!! Thank you for being consistent with the uploads and sharing bits and pieces of You!
🥲♥️🙏🏼 thank you for taking out the time during your lunch break to hang with me!
Jesus loves you!😊❤
As someone who still lives in nyc (Bronx) I find it hard to enjoy the parts that make me….me. A lot of who I am stems from where I come from but I don’t see the joy of it because of the dangerous area I am in…. It almost feels like there is no way out yet. However, watching your video inspired me to work as hard as I can do that I can look back and cherish where I come from. ❤️❤️❤️
You can do it. Stay safe and positive, Emily
Love these videos so much! I love how Claude tells a story. It just warms my heart.
Kamila 🥲♥️🙏🏼
And I love the pictures she shares. Really let's us into her life. So sweet
Again Claude and Ms. Nilda have made me feel like I’m doing something right. I too focus on the experiences of my children and they have been so grateful of the little things. They are now 10 and 15….we didn’t have a lot when they were small but times are turning for us. We love you Claude and Co❤️
That’s beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing … wishing you and your family all the beautiful blessings ♥️♥️♥️
Bronx New Yorker here, currently living in Houston TX. Watching this made me want to go back to visit ASAP! Haven’t been back since I graduated HS in 2016 ❤
BX!!! ♥️ I can imagine that’s a big change… I love Texas but definitely different vibe … yea you gotta come back and reminisce ☺️
I said this before and I'll say it again, there's not another channel quite like Claude and Co. I love, love the intro. Guys, you guys are amazing, I'm gonna say it... This channel is something else, stay blessed, and I love you guys so much
AGREE!!! And yes, the intro is an entire vibe & mood, brings me so much calm & warmth ❤️
Thank you so much ♥️🙏🏼 🥲 wow, means a lot to me
I love watching this so much because I grew up in Washington heights and now I live in Miami. I love going back to New York because it always feels like home. Claude I went to PS5 and you were my dance teacher. It’s crazy because you look exactly the same. I am 25 now and it’s beautiful to watch your videos with you family.
This video gave me all kind of feels as a native New Yorker. Mama Nildal's story about watching the naked man, we experienced that in Spanish Harlem, We didnt have much, but were happy. And I went to Seward Parkl HS on the lower East Side! The footage of the projects made me homesick. NY pizza and iceys! i now live next door to Puerto Rico in the Virgin Islands. But I will always be that girl from Spanish Harlem and the Lower East Side. #NYpizza #Sewardparkhigh school. Thank you Claude!!!
Finally a REAL RUclips channel!!! Something relatable! I love how you’re focusing on your upbringing and not solely on living a lavish lifestyle. I commend you for your genuineness!
Saludos desde Mission Tx! First generation Mexican -American 🇲🇽 🇺🇸!
I appreciate this episode so much! You bring dignity to NYCHA housing where it’s normally viewed from a negative single story. As a native of the BX (the valley), I thank you for highlighting the beauty of the concrete jungle.
Word! “The Valley” 😩❤️ Havent heard that term in years. I went to 113 and my graduation was at Truman, learned to play tennis on those courts.
I love the authenticity of this video,
So natural and real.
Kudos Claude and Co.
Watching from Kenya.
This is has become my favorite channel on RUclips. It’s an escape for me. It always feels warm and inviting, and gives me the feeling of family, that I miss, since I’ve lost my mom and grandmother, and I have no siblings.
This channel makes my heart smile. I love watching you and your family every Wednesday!! Give us more and longer videos please 😂🙏🏽
I love how humble you and Gerd are! Especially you Claude!! Love to see how you appreciate the little things in life and teach your girls how you came from the bottom and have now made a stable home for you and your family! thank you for sharing your life!!
This channel is such a breath of fresh air! Blessings to you and your familia 🤍
Bronx, NY.
The Limber ladies 🙌🏽 were everything during the Summers.
Great episode 👏🏽
Right?!?!!!! Sooooo good 🤤🥥
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
I need to go back in the summer and get some!
So can relate to your upbringing. Until the age of 10, I lived in the projects in East Harlem; then my mom got a Brownstone on 120th St.; went to elementary school by the FDR. At the age of 13, I wanted to experience living with my grandmother who lived in the Bronx on 180th Street/Bathgate Avenue; then for High School went back with my Mom to attend Norman Thomas HS on 33rd Street. I frequently remember those days and am thankful that we never felt the lack of anything; our community was our world. Like Mama Nilda said: it's not about money; happiness is not money. We learned to appreciate what we had and when we had more, we were so grateful. I now pass down the stories to my son who will share with his child. Each generation sharing what is important in life: God and Family!!!
Look forward to watching Claude and co. 💕💕💕
☺️♥️
This was really beautiful. I grew up in a tiny country town in Australia. I haven’t been back for over 20 years. I want to go back now with my 4 daughters. It was honestly the the best and simple childhood back in the 90’s
I👏🏽 LOVE👏🏽 THIS👏🏽 CHANNEL!👏🏽 There's just beauty and something pure about it. Your family, marriage, your kids and the way u parent... your storytelling... issa vibe.
7:43 “What part of him was hanging out of the window?” LOOLLL Claude
Thank you for taking us along your trip down memory lane! Love seeing humble beginning stories because it inspires me since we see where you’re at now! Gives me hope I’ll get there too with my family. Thank you!
☺️♥️ (these are words of encouragement for me so thank you 🙏🏼)
Stories from our childhood are the best! Is it just me who get so emotional looking back at how happy and free I was of stress back then?! Oh. My heart! This is so beautiful!! This made me look back at my younger years and get a little emo! Lol.
I hope Claude knows that ever since watching this channel, my life will never be the same. In a very good and blessed type of way. May God bless you and your family for this amazing safe space.❤😭
That’s amazing. ❤️❤️
I grew up in the Northeast Bronx where Gerd is from. I, too, am so proud to be a New Yorker. I love your family. You guys radiate beauty.
🙅🏾♂️BX!
Please Claudette, keep continuing to makes these wonderful, heartwarming pieces of joy we call videos. I love you and all of your family and everyone around you. Every time I watch one of your videos, I smile with my heart. Every single one is a gift for me. Thank you
Oh yes it’s Wednesday evening in South Africa 😰 Been a hard week. This is a pleasant “surprise”. Thank you for the consistency Claude 👌🏽🙏🏽 Let me enjoy 😊
Edit after watching:
My fave part was when Beau imitated you saying “ my therapist says”… You’re normalising going to therapy AND talking about it in everyday conversations. You’re raising queens Claude 👏🏽 imagine if we all grew up knowing our parents have a healthy relationship with a therapist 🥺 Well done Claude & Gerd
Gugu, thank you soooo much ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You guys are So Graceful in your celebrity and in your finances you can tell that you genuinely never forgot about your humble beginnings I love watching ya'll family 💝👑💪
The limber memory brought me back ♥ Awww... the nostalgia! My aunt sold limber in our building. Great times!
King pine!! #1 product of 70-80s omg the smell!! I never bought it ever! When i moved out!! Very nostalgic of Brooklyn!! Projects !! East NY Brooklyn here last address la 23 en coney island havent been back since 1978 !! We all drove 8 in a 2 bucket seat Gto All the way to Pompano Bch !! That was night and day!! Lol
I look forward to your videos Claude! Thank you for sharing. This one has me in tears. It made me think of my upbringing. Love is all that matters. That’s what children remember. That’s what I remember❤️
You guys gotta come back in the summer, cause there’s nothing like a New York summer 😊😊❤️
Claude! 🥺 Even though I enjoy everyone of your episodes. This one spoke to me ❤️ I was raised in Brooklyn and now I live in Houston. NY will forever be home. Thank you for taking me along for the ride, I truly enjoyed it.
I love saving these videos for my me time. 😂 That story time by mum was soo funny. I snorted🙊 xxx
🤣♥️ thank you for including us in your “ME time” ♥️ love that!
I love the lesson here… “it’s not about the money, it’s what we make it”. We didn’t grow up with much (which we didn’t even notice until adulthood lol) My sister and I have such great memories of our childhood. I’m always so thankful to my parents for that. I loved this video…this whole family is a vibe lol. Thank you for sharing!
(Born and raised in Queens then moved to Jersey)
Gonna visit my childhood neighbourhood too. Best memories to revisit. And beautiful vid, thanks for actually going out and showing us where you were brought up. 😊
My eyes are so watery watching this! I’m from NY but it makes me sad how many thing have changed, I can barely recognize my neighborhood anymore and the crime alone is making me want to leave the city that I once loved so much. It’s not all bad and I’m grateful to be a NYer, there’s still good out here and it’s nice to see it through this positive lens.
This was such a great episode... I love NY! As crazy as it is. ☺️
Hiiii, yay I'm earlyyy. I just wanted to thank you for sharing and starting your RUclips channel. It brings me comfort and peace. And it also helped me with some self acceptance. You have no idea when you and Gerd share how you do things differently, I feel less alone. I'm in a community where doing things differently comes with a price (well maybe it's everywhere), and you have to be strong when being different. Or else you will cave and be like everybody, and there is when authenticity dies. And I've been struggling of keeping my authenticity alive. But when I see your videos, it sparks back life. So, again I wanted to just thank you for sharing, it truly helps.
🥲♥️ wow … thank you for taking the time to send these encouraging words, means a lot
I too grew up in the inner city, but in Chicago. When I married my husband, who’s in the military, I never imagined that we would live in Italy, England, and Germany. It’s meaningful to go back to where we came from and remember our roots, even though we have bloomed higher than we ever could imagine.
A couple of thoughts:
1. I love that you take your girls to learn about your beginnings. I think it’s so AWESOME that they are interested and excited about where their mother grew up.
2. That bubble coat is soooooo NY!
3. One of the last scenes of you, your mom and Jet 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
4. I literally felt like I was with you all walking in LES
5. Now I want some NY pizza 😋
Blessings to you all!! ❤️❤️❤️
Noelle… thank you for taking the time to share this! Means a lot ♥️🙏🏼… (and omg A1 is the best 🤤🤤🤤)
That so nice you take your girls to get them see where your grew up , not about the money facts where is Adrienne miss her in this . Sweet family thanks for sharing . I live in New York for a while but in Long Island
so dope! i love this. Brings me memories from my childhood in the Bronx. 🤍
Love this episode. So many great memories ❤️ and A1 had the best pizza. We still go there when we visit.
G!!!!! Did you see yourself in the pics? 😆♥️ love you!!! And yessssss A1 🤤🤤🤤
@@claudeandco. yes!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love those pics.
You guys are like my hope for building a healthy family of my own. But fun fact: I love seeing Claude as a kid because you are such a mature beautiful woman but seeing your kid side is just really cool. So refreshing to watch you guys! 🙏🏾💛
I LOVED this video!!! I grew up in Washington Heights and my fiancé grew up in the Lower East Side and i love sharing stories back and forth of our upbringing. We still visit family in both neighborhoods from time to time. Thank you again for the awesome video! ❤️
Coming from a similar back ground except from Chicago....I'm in tears not from remembering the struggles but from remembering the genuine happiness from my childhood. Your mom is right money is definitely not happiness.
Can’t wait so excited! I love these videos soooooo much…literal best part of my day😊😊
Amber, thank you for all the love and support and encouragement … makes my day ♥️
From the Bx Morris Park area. I worked at Betances medical clinic in 1997 then on Broadway in China town for a nonprofit. Been in Hudson Valley since 2006. Love ya'll. Adrienne is my prima in my head.
JERSEY !!! I loved Claude and co episode!!:)
I look forward to Weds now so much because of you. Please make your episodes longer, pretty please :)
I’m from the Bay Area…Richmond, CA to be more specific and there’s so much history here with being a port for WWII and where Rosie the Riveter was invented for women joining the workforce. So beautiful thank you for this❤❤
I grew up in Amsterdam Netherlands in the 80’s en 90’s. My parents are migrants from Surinam. I live in a smaller town now with my husband and kids. But I still love Amsterdam so much. I was born there and i am working there. I know exactly how you feel when you visit your old neighborhood. Nothing but great memories☺️And yes everything does look smaller now😄But as a kid, you are totally not aware of it. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your story❤️
Dear Claude and Co - I'm in awe of your family. Been watching you from Day 1; following your beginning as via Adrienne & Isreal Houghton whom I'm a #1 fan of!!! Your show is so timely in our great big world! I love how you walk back thru time, revealing your family history ....teaching your children that the greatest life is one "lived". " Lived" wherever you were be planted with a family that genuinely loves each other, celebrated every moment of life in your way and no one knew or thought they were being deprived of anything. Even in your present season of greater blessings, you are not ashamed of where you came from, rather still celebrating your roots and giving praise to God for where he has taken you. PLEASE keep sharing your story.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Thank you Lisa
As a fellow NYC girl, this episode was everything! Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories and your family like this! Seeing Jet looking around when you guys got out the elevator, and looking by the window was so precious!
☺️♥️ thank you so much
I love it with everything generation we are growing and elevating, thank you for sharing!
You and your family are so humble. Thank you for never forgetting where you come from!!!
The beautiful thing about this channel is that although Claudette lives in a luxurious beautiful home now, she makes me feel grateful to God for all that I have been given, though it was not "much". Happiness truly doesn't come from money, or beautiful houses and cars. Our perspective makes such materialistic things beautiful, and memories of our family is what adds nostalgia to it. Loving the content Claude :)
I think Claude loves the LES so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if she moved back there. Looks like a great place to live. So Family oriented. Thx for the tour.
This was so touching. I too come from the projects. Father panik Village in Bridgeport Ct. my granny was the icee lady. 47 buildings all knocked down due to heavy crime. My family went to gather bricks when they tore it down. My mom and her siblings and their children grew up there. I completely understand everything you’re feeling right now. I get it.
I absolutely LOVE your videos. I can’t express how much I resonate with you. I myself grew up in the inner city, pentecostal, and with immigrant parents. We grew up with little but man my heart was always full. Seeing your videos inspire me and comfort me so much. Bendiciones ♥️
The experience of growing up in NYCHA is different for everyone. It definitely made me the person I am. For a long time I was ashamed about growing up in the projects. SO dope that you're open about your upbringing. Thank you for this.
This is so interesting. I grew up in The BX and considered the NYCHA kids lucky with regards to the rental subsidy (I know this isnt really the case). We didnt qualify for NYCHA and eviction was part of our upbringing b/c of financial hardship. Agree, these experiences helped shape us 🙏🏾❤️
Your vibe, your love, your family, everything about your home videos brings so much joy to my heart. I don’t often keep up with much things on blogs, but yours and your family and childhood I’ve watched every single one and it’s always so so so touching to see how much god has given to you and your family. Your faith in god has always remained. I have an older sister who also inspires me to share my life here on vlogs, I pray 1 day I get to do that so too see you share yours and share the most beautiful things in life. I pray that I am able to share my life one day. For now, gods love and grace upon your family. Love, from Sydney Australia ❤️
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
So good to see you Claudette after all these years. I still have memories of you dancing on the platform at Primitive. So good to see your Mom and Fugi. I love your Titi, Fugi. She is such a sweet woman.
I currently live in El Paso, TX with my family. We came to New York last month and it felt good being back in the City and seeing my siblings! I drove through Queens and the Bronx a few times driving from Long Island to Poughkeepsie, NY where my older Brother lives with his family. At one point, drove through Manhattan. It was awesome! Makes me wamt to move back to that area. Blessings to you and you're family.
Ola.
Loved this video lots! So awesome to see & learn where you and your familia grew up and made childhood memories! So very special!
This was beautiful ❤❤ I absolutely loved every episode of Claude and Co.
It really is beautiful to return to your childhood neighborhood to show your kids. Mine was torn down and genetrified and it hurts every time I pass by it. I can relate sometimes less is more and you learn how to appreciate what you got and make the best out of things.
Claudette, you are very talented.. and I love watching you share your story! I always get so emotional perhaps it’s because I am from NYC and an empath!!You are an inspiration to so many!
Claude, I just l love you and your beautiful family. You, Gerd and Mami give me such organic calmness and warm vibes. I live in Houston TX but have always fantasized about living in New York since I was a little girl. Thank you again for sharing all your photos and precious memories… please continue doing so! 💗
Your mom’s story about the naked man reminded me of Friends 😂I grew up in l Washington heights. I under the nostalgia ❤️
It's so interesting to see the shock of Lana's face for some of these things that seem SO normal to me. LOL. No grass was not an issue. In the Bronx, the elementary school I went to did not have a football field haha. High School we did. I grew up in Norwood Bronx and Crown Height Brooklyn. Wouldn't change my foundation for anything. - SE
You are such a well grounded,high spirited woman,Claude. Thank you for sharing your love and appreciation for your life. 👍🏾
Thank you so much for taking us with you down memory lane!! Your videos brightens up my Wednesdays ❤️ God bless you and your beautiful family !
🥺 I could feel the nostalgia radiating from the screen as soon as I saw you guys driving down the Bruckner in The BX. Agree with all that you said about the stereotype misconceptions of the “inner city” - we may not have had much, but we were “rich” in countless other ways. I too think back on my childhood in The Bronx with fond memories & go home with my kids (I’m out on LI now, so far but not too far). I rep uptown-UPTOWN 😆 (from 233 to Gunhill, 2 train) and Fordham side of the Zoo. Shout out to all my NYC kids who return home with fond nostalgia ❤️🥰
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love this familia! I haven't been able to find a Familia youtube channel that can help me navigate life with a man and child at home. Thanks for all the insight!🥰👏😇🥰😇🥰👏😇🥰👏😇🥰👏😇😅
Another wonderful episode. I love how much you love where you came from, the joy and nostalgia was oozing through yours pores. I love that! I feel the same way. My husband and I grew up in the South Bronx, he in public housing and we feel the same way. People assume the worse, yet, I loved my community, our neighbors and had an amazing childhood and wonderful memories that will last me a lifetime. We would look out for one another and had such a sense of community.
I was laughing listening to Lana wonder where the volleyball courts and grass were. LOL! A lot of our schools look like yours, but I never felt like I was missing anything.
Always a pleasure watching your episodes. ❤
Hey from SA🇿🇦these videos are always so serene and calming like familial in a sense😅thanks for the awesom video 😊
Incredible! So raw, love that you are taking your girls along for this too. I kind of wish Adrienne was there to share stories as well. Thank you for being so real. 💜
Love, Love, Love!! Always Love how down to earth and transparent you are. I was raised in Westchester County, but my parents grew up in the Bronx on Webster Ave & Also in Harlem. I just moved back to NY last year from NC. There’s no place like home 💕💕
The nostalgia of being where you grew up is wild. I bought my house 2 streets away from where we lived when I was in elementary. My daughter ended up going to school at the elementary school who's black top we use to hop our fence and play hide and seek in to confuse whoever was it. It was so weird looking at it from the other side as an adult.
I’m going to have to mute my phone for the beginning and end of your videos. EVERY SINGLE TIME I start to cry hearing that music 😅😂 amazing video. You inspired me to take my kids back to where I grew up! (New Yorker here!)
RIGHT?! The intro song does that to me tooooooooo 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺Its an inexplicable vibe/mood that gets straight to the heart 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm from Texas and took a trip to NYC in December. My husband and I LOVED it, we can't wait to be back! Que bellos, saludos!
My best childhood memories were lived in LES. I identify so well with your experience. Thank you for continuing to share your wonderful journey past and present. I look forward to your videos. Love the content 🥰
I loved this video!! It was so nostalgic for me and I never lived there! I live in upstate NY (Rochester) but I grew up in Trenton NJ so I can relate to the inner city nostalgia ❤️
The production of your videos and you taking us with you through memory lane is amazing.
Yay! Love this! So glad you enjoyed!
I grew up in Ridgewood, Queens. I currently live in Florida and this video made me so nostalgic. Thank you for sharing!
Claude, re-watching this again as I love your channel! Please do more videos!!
Your family was so good at documenting moments. You literally have photos and videos to back up every story 😲😲
Love, love, love! Ny has a special place in my heart! I found myself in New York :’)
♥️♥️♥️ love that!
My grandparents lived in the Brooklyn Louis Pink houses so we visit every few years to remind us how far we come and its crazy.
This episode was so nostalgic as a native New Yorker I absolutely loved seeing how your girls loved the experience. I was born and raised in Bronx NY.
Claude you’re so humble & beautiful needless to say. Honestly running out of great things to say about you and your family, but please keep these videos coming, they keep me grounded and enlightened ❤️
❤💕 So blessed to have been watching these videos. Thank you❤💕
I look forward to a new episode every wednesday. I listen to them on my car rides home - something about the episodes truly give me inspiration. Thank you Thank you so much!!!
Just peace and tranquillity when watching your videos ❤️
🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Your aunt is beautiful!! So graceful and pretty, thank you for showing this video! Made me tear up thinking about family and memories ❤️✨
I loved this.
And mama nilda is correct, it’s not just about money bringing happiness, it’s about the little things, making happy moments for our children. They don’t know anything about money as children. I try so hard with my little girls to make the intention of always doing things together that truly makes them happy, and just pray that they remember these things when they are older. And hold onto it like I do now as an adult, my family immigrated to America with nothing, and I was born here right after they came here. I would have never in a million years known that we grew up without much at first. God bless you guys
I love love love Claude en co. I said it before whenever I use to watch ATA and you would be part of it I wondered about your story and here it is. I love you, your Mom and Jet walking together 3 generations soo beautiful
The way this made me nostalgic for the trips I took to New York growing up
My mom is from LES and my abuela still lives on ave D. When you stood at the window and said your abuela used to stand there and wave, it’s 100% what mine does and waves at us til we couldn’t see her anymore. And the “pools” lol that was over in my Abuela’s buildings too.
