I have seen some African countries say they don't like to relocate in their country they prefer living abroad, but i never heard any kenyan say they don't like their country . Most kenya work hard abroad invest home then later go back to Kenya for good. Kenya is a good place to live .
Honestly I’m always just glad and overwhelmed with happiness when I just see my African American brothers and sisters when they just take a step outside the U.S.A.
asante sana brother, and greetings from the US. I luv Nairobi and Kenya...
Much blessings
Welcome to Kenya. I moved to Atlanta and lived there for 30 years then relocated back home and I now live in Malindi at the East Coast of Africa. There are many African Americans in Malindi and Watamu so I feel right at home having lived the majority of my years in ATL
How's the experience in malindi?
Am coming to Malindi from MD. Will look for you.
Wow
Let's stand together and reject the divisive nature of tribal politics. Our strength lies in unity, not in the differences that separate us. By working together with a shared vision, we can transform our nation and build a brighter future for all. Let's commit to change and make our country great again!

Great insight Blessings ❤❤❤
Yes!!!
Congratulations on choosing your LIFE’S JOURNEY despite not having the full support of family and friends, but don’t worry because once you get settled in Nairobi and start Vlogging the Vibe there, you’ll be surprised how many of them begin to visit and celebrate with you!!!
I’m a new subscriber and am looking forward to watching your channel GROW!!!
As a content creator Kenya is definitely the best place to stay. You can actually do content full time in kenya and live comfortably. Kenyans will watch anything related to their country and support you as much.....
That is great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Welcome to Kenya where nothing missing nothing broken. Ecosystem friendly,people friendly,everything friendly...Tha best decision you'll never regret it..Welcome to the land of beauties..We love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘❣♥️💞💗💜🤎Thanks for choosing Kenya.
you got it men we love our country we have to watch
@@4theculturecothanks welcome home I do tour travel all over kenya
Karibu nyumbani. Welcome home! 🤝
Your bold move to relocate to Kenya 🇰🇪 is not only wise but also a spiritual journey to the root of all Mankind.
May the spirits of our ancestors guide you through and anchor.
The best thing about us going over there is that we inspire our family to visit. I went over there and my parents and siblings family visited after. My dad felt at home in Soweto. He absolutely loved the place.
Three African American sisters visited us this week. Sad that we didn't have enough time to explore. We flew to the Coast yesterday morning and back to Nairobi in the evening. We visited Shimoni Caves and they had an experience of what slavery at the Swahili Coast was all about. I also used to read about it in school and had the chance of seeing a picture of the suffering. They barely scratched the surface. We almost missed our flight as they never wanted to leave the beach riding camels and enjoying kids dancing. 😅😅Seems we underestimate the power of living where you're a "majority". Welcome and enjoy your stay. I hope Kenya treats you well.
Welcome to Kenya sis am living abroad but Kenya is the best choice in Africa you will never regret ❤
What you'll find amazing is the social support system,fresh organic food, smiling faces and a chance to experience the expanse nature
I love this!! Glad you spoke about the 5 year ETA. I’m going to do more research on that as I’m considering Kenya, leaving from the US and I can’t wait!
If you haven't visited yet, please do.... It is simply amazing!!!
So happy for you! I’ve been wanting to move abroad years ago but hadn’t receive any support or encouragement! I will get there one day!!
I’m Kenyan but I live in the States mainly still here because I grew up here and have been here most of my life. I loved your video because believe it or not a lot people like me who were brought abroad as kids find it difficult to move back when that’s the only life you know. Your video was encouraging to me. Good luck on your journey. It seems your heart was settled on moving to Africa since you were young since you mentioned wanting to move to Tanzania at 24 ❤
Welcome home our beautiful african american sister, there's no racism here
Tribalism is the exact same thing
There is...lots of racism!!
@@lennylink8772 tribalism was invented by the colonialists by pitting communities against each other through a strategy called divide and conquer
Thank you brother.
What is their agenda? Keep welcoming African Americans and foreginers the same way you welcomed colonialists. Waafrika wajinga
I just want to say my country people will watch anything related with our country 🇰🇪🇰🇪, we just love our country and we support anyone talking positive about oir land
That's why Africa is the motherland very accommodating

Thank you for the support!
My first trip when I turned 7 my father wanted to take me to Italy and I begged for Nairobi, Kenya. He was like 'alright' lol he didn't understand why but he obliged. So, i went to Kenya and fell in love with it. I did end up going to Italy but I don't really remember much of it or care lol but i do remember everything about Kenya.
I live in Canada, and to this day I think of Kenya. I pray that they get rid of Ruto because I would like to come there and see if a move is possible.
Interesting story Why did you want to go to Kenya at 7?
Wow!
Worry not we will get rid of him at the ballot.
You are one of us, please be citizens in Kenya.Well done
Great for doing due diligence,in Kenya you will succeed
Have an open mind and they will support you all the way through
As a Kenyan village elder, I say Welcome. Subscribed!
You are a strong black sister and your story resonated with me. I have plans of moving to Kenya as well. I did some research and fell in love with Kenya.
Thanks for watching!
The Strong, Black Independent Woman mentality does not work in Africa. Women in Africa are submissive to men and are not loud mouthed. Obey these rules and you will love your experience.
Karibu nyumbani- welcome home.
You can do anything you put your mind and soul to !
Welcome to Kenya Rochelle ! 🎉 I just came across your RUclips channel and subscribed-I’m so excited for your new adventure. As a Kenyan living in Canada, I remember how much it meant to have support during my own transition, and I’d love to pay it forward.
I’ll be back in Kenya after the 20th of this month for a month, and I wanted to offer a warm welcome. If you need a place to stay or just some local advice, I have a farm in the village that you’re more than welcome to use as a temporary home while you settle in.
Looking forward to meeting you and wishing you all the best as you start this exciting chapter!
Much Love sister you're much welcomed.
❤❤❤
Have even subscribed already you've made me smile welcome home my sisters and brothers
Me too 😂
Asante sana
Thanks for providing your story. I am looking forward to traveling to Nairobi in the next month. Blessings
Proud of you Empress! Soon come. Yes, I was obsessed with her videos too.
Just be humble and know all is not the same. Also follow the vlogs from those living in Kenya. I am in back for a month now and it's sweet. And Bitter departure. You will surely enjoy. Blessings to you.
welcome to kenya my sister from another mother you'll never regret
Asante sana! Thanks for watching!
@@4thecultureco Meanwhile back in America Africans [Blacks] are being called racial slurs, spit on, thrown bananas at, and called the police on for breathing. 🤨What THINKING individual would want to raise a family under such oppressive system? Africa is the future. You're just ahead of the development
@@4thecultureco KARIBU WELCOME

Hello-Sasa,mambo
Thank you-Asante
Welcome-karibu
Been living in Nairobi for the last seven years.A few days ago i got posted for work to Eldoret city and i'm in the process of relocating there.Will miss Nairobi alot and i'm ready to get to this new city of Eldoret.Change is inevitable.
Eldoret is an interesting city
Metropolitan in a way.
I'll never forget meeting a kalenjin man on the street who just took over my bulky suitcase and helped me take it to the matatus stage. He wasn't even going that way😊
Welcome to Eldoret
Welcome home....
Good news is after 7yrs of residence, you automatically qualify for citizenship(dual if you like)😉
@@shadorathat’s so sweet, Kenyans are definitely super friendly among other Africans. But most Africans are cool too. Much love from DC 🇺🇸
I have the same plans, I been to Kenya a few the last two years. Beautiful country and people definitely my third home now.
I agree!

@@davieskelmen7125😂😂
Karibu kenya 🇰🇪 karibu kanairo
Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪, Welcome back home.
Asante sana
Power to you sister. You welcome home.
You can easily get an FM radio DJ job in Nairobi. Not only to they like the exotic accent for their urban audience, but your accent is Western but still clear enough for locals to hear and relate with well. Also it's not too informal or too formal.
Wow welcome to Kenya am Wesley from Nakuru Kenya about 156 kms from Nairobi but I reside in Washington DC but every year I come to Nairobi n Nakuru just feel free to connect with Americans who already lives n invests in Kenya so that you will feel at home n can tells how much about Kenya Godbless you n don’t forget to visit kisumu Kenya Nyanza province its unique place
Good luck sweetie I'm gonna be looking forward to your journey.
Karibu. We are also preparing to move to Kenya as well. Bought our land in April. Now doing the infrastructure. Then will start to build our Airbnb cottages and primary residence. Once all completed we will start coming regularly for about 60 months and permanently relocate once I turn 57 a retire.

As a Kenyan who moved to 🇺🇸 at the tender age of 23 I can say I understand what you’re going through. Find some cool friends to support you and I hope and pray your move goes smooth and you find what you’re searching for in the continent. I hope you feel like you’re home each time you go out and never feel out of place. Africa is your home of all black folks that want to be there 🫡🙏🏾. Good to see locals here cheering for you.
Thank you for your support!

New sub here ❤ hey girl hey! Kenya is BAE!
Welcome home. A very inspiring story and your journey so far is something.
Am Kenyan I moved to the US and after 4 years I moved quickly back to Kenya.
Again welcome to Kenya
Welcome to Kenya. It’s a very nice country and pretty safe. There’s no need to carry money as you can transact electronically almost 100%. People are extremely courteous and helpful especially to foreigners. Of course don’t go to the wrong side of town. And also don’t be lured by quick money making schemes. There’s few bad conmen 😂. Just be very cautious. Otherwise try out the food and all the country has to offer. You’ll love it!!
Awesome story
Good for you! God bless!
Welcome baby!, welcome to 🇰🇪 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your story is so inspiring! Subscribe 💜👏🇺🇸
From Nairobi Kenya welcome home you will love it here
Karibu sister. From the Banks family Ohio- Mombasa Kenya.
I loved Mombasa! Asante sana
Most welcome to Kenya Sis. Rochelle. U are coming at the right time. The Afro-American community are increasing in number and integrating with Kenyan's pretty well. Just subscribed and looking forward to Part 2 of your relocation plans. 👍
welcome to kenya and feel home always, and remember to buy and wear kenya's flag armband to be fully incorporated in the kenyan culture
Will do! Thanks for watching!
People like you make Kenya the great place it is! We welcome everyone! "Wageni Mwakaribishwa ".
@@4thecultureco Is it possible your father is psychologically conquered sister Rochelle? Is it possible European ideologies have totally indoctrinated your fathers' worldviews?
@@DrUmarJohnson1. Alot of African Americans are clueless about Africa from what they watch on Western media. The lies have made them feel ashamed of Africa. They'd rather go anywhere else in the globe, but not Africa. I call it mind slavery.
Break away from the cotton plantation mentality and embrace The Motherland. I understand your father’s perspective. He has been indoctrinated by the highly skewed western/American media, and his worldview, especially Africa’s, is shaped by that media! Hopefully your experience will inspire him and others like him to change their perspective. Forget the travels to Caribbean and Europe. Africa is, and has always been, - The Frontier to explore, embrace, and experience for all black diaspora. If you are Black, you are an African.
