What a beautiful woman!, very educational information. I like the idea of a 3on-4off work week, time is priceless.

O I think Chicago is the city for me.❤❤ I’m in Savannah

I missed something. A 2-year-old black woman?

I’ll definitely keep these salaries in mind fs . Along with other forms of income

Yes more niche videos for the black single women I’ll be moving to chicago soon ❤

i was at ARC!

I found that the sponge is less abrasive if you wet it before using it to coil the hair. Thanks for this video!

Even though I’m 19 I’m looking forward to moving there one day most likely the suburbs with my dog . Also part Jamaican and live in atl but wanna move so bad

Even the salaries for my job field IT recruiting are mid!!

Omg love the “it is what it is” comment lol like what do you expect😂

I’m a new nurse in snf. And I will like to go into hospice . Admission hospice and case management which one is better? How many years of experience do I need before going to hospice?

Chicago born and raised here. Chicago has a small Caribbean population, there are some small enclaves on the north side (Uptown) and scattered throughout the South Side. Based off where you live, places like Pete’s Fresh Markets have Caribbean food here and there. They have Walker Woods jerk sauce for example (I found it at Pete’s) and I would find curry powder in the East Indian section. I would suggest going to Hispanic grocery stores or in the Hispanic section as well. I’m glad you’re having an authentic experience and you’re enjoying my hometown!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

You’re so silly 😂❤ I hope I run into you when I’m in chicago

Great video! Thank you!

Thank you! This was so helpful. I just got offered a nurse manager position. I feel that I now have a better idea of the position overall

Excellent video. Thank you.

I’ve spent almost 6 years in tech collectively and I actually want to go back to school to become a nurse instead

Ordered mine.. and went looking for a KZbin video that made me happy with my purchase! Thanks! Recently stopped wearing human hair

How's. It going...nurse thinking about moving to the Chicago area... what the pay range for RN .

This was such great insight!

I feel you on everything girl! I too have lived in Atlanta but for 7 years. I left in 2022 and moved back to where I was born, New Jersey. But I've always contemplated did I make the right move because Chicago is where I've always wanted to be. So idk but I might be making that move next year to Chicago!! But you were def spot on with living alone and the benefits and lows about it. I know exactly what you are going through or did go through. Making friends and good friends at that takes time. It's so much harder as an adult. But thanks for posting this relatable video!! And yes Atlanta is just as bad as Chicago lol it's just not as big of news. All the car break ins, sex trafficking, you name it. Every city has its big problems.

I am soooooooooooooo glad I saw this video!!!! I have been in tech for around 4 years, and my mental health is horrible, even though I am making the most money in my life, but I have NO fulfilment whatsoever being behind a computer in a cubicle all day. I crave human interaction and to be able to see my ability/skills to help people. I am now starting my CNA program to become an CNA and work during my RN program this spring. Thank you for sharing!

Such a fire jazz spot 🔥

How did you get into tech? Did you do a boot camp? Self study? Back to university? I'm an ICU nurse for 6 years and I am burnt to a crisp. Need a way out of bedside or just nursing in general. Thanks in advance!

Great message!

overall it seems like your view of chi mostly comes from interacting with gentrified areas, where im from its mostly immigrant families and not really the way u describe

btw no paring signs often apply to the entire strip that they are on

my boyfriend is black but im not. he grew up on the south side by the red line, and now that hes out he tries to avoid that area / most of the south side if he is able to. hes also lived in rogers park, where it was better but he got jumped and harassed there as well, which is crazy to me bc his only "mistake" was being a black man/teen. his parents were strict and he stayed inside a lot of the time, he was never getting in trouble and never had anything expensive to even steal. when i went with him to hyde park and we were passing thru the non gentrified (?) neighborhoods nearby, we had to deal w harassment from men that was mostly directed towards my bf since hes also a black man. overall the energy was off, and whenever there was a group of men nearby he made us pass quickly and not stop even tho at one point my shoe untied lol. overall random men would yell at us and sometimes flash signs at him, and when we parked our car by the beach some guys decided to come and set a firework off 2ft from us. amazing... as for the north side, my parents were robbed in rp but that was 20 years ago lol, they broke into our tiny 1bed and stole the only jewelry my immigrant mom had left from her mom :/ lame ah mfs also in rp, my boyfriend was discriminated against by the south asian diaspora but since ur not from chicago and didnt go to hs here you prob wont have to deal with it (?). ig my parents lived in logan square when it was cheap, it was unsafe as gangs still operated there (80s). but now the entire northern blue line pass is fully gentrified and it is much more chill than before, with more to do for young people. but it can be expensive. overall on avg the north side is much safer & has more to do for young adults. the likelihood that you will be robbed, or that your car will be wired/stolen radio/stolen parts is lower. also less harassment from men. the restaurant scene is better, bc of gentrification & more immigrant communities. there are less store closures due to less shoplifting and crime, and less food deserts for similar reasons.

This looked so easy!I been wanting a new hairstyle to do with my hair. As well the blush you’re wearing what’s the name of it ? 👀

I love this and can relate so much! Did a whole coding bootcamp and returned to healthcare but in a different way.

So happy you’re finally vlogging! I be wanting to know what you doing in the Chicago streets 👀

Hi Olivia 👋🏾 ☺️

youre gorgeous!

Black goddess herself.

Hard agree on the segregation. I moved to Near West because while the North feels more cohesive, I just felt so...idk....unseen (?) on the north side. I'm from DC/Maryland in Dec 2021 so I need to live in areas that have enough representation to have a beauty supply store within walking distance LOL.

Really really great video. As a Chicago native… born and raised, from the North side, I can definitely agree with the disparity aspect and ESPECIALLY the segregation part. Chicago is known for heavy racism. I always love hearing people from NY talking about being around so many people and cultures without having to seek it. In Chicago you have to make the effort to be around another culture or groups of people. Chicago’s default is WHITE.

Omg, this video spoke to my heart lol. I moved drom DC. I always judged the quality of Carribean cuisine...but what I would give for a Negril...and peruvian chicken lol.

Won’t He do it?!!!

Thanks for this video!

Awesome video. The percentage of an ethnicity or nationality in the city of Chicago is often revealed by the amount of restaurants, festivals, and museums. Extremely diversified yet segregated city. The financial situation of each neighborhood might be quantified by the amount of an ethnicity or nationality of the neighborhood. I love your energy, enthusiasm, and honesty. I definitely appreciate the comparison of southern life in contrast with Chicago. Very nice.🥰

I am trying desperately to leave the medical field. Could you tell me how you got a IT job? Is it possible to get a high paying IT job without experience/training?

I'm from Chicago and live here and can tell you the city is FULL of Jamaicans. I'm not sure where you live, but my grocery store packed a lot of Caribbean and west African things, it depends where certain folks live. I wouldn't look for curry in Ukrainian village. There are literal Caribbean grocery stores on 87th Street and also in south shore and south Chicago.Also folks are very friendly, I really want to know where you've been hanging out!

A lot of white immigrants moved to Chicago in the late 1800s early 1900s. They weren’t considered white but assimilated into whiteness via politics and the police force. Part of why the politics here are so fucked up here. (The Daley political machine did a lot of damage to the Black community.) Also your comment about the fashion, I feel like that’s because you live on the north side and it’s mostly white. 🤷🏾‍♀️ most white peoples in Chicago dress plain but I don’t think you can apply that to the Black population of Chicago. Also, most black people here are AA but there is a Jamaican community in Chicago. I saw a precious comment that mentioned the Jamaican heavy areas!

Lots of people are in nursing for the wrong reason… I have been a nurse for 34 years and love it!!!

I'm from a very white town in Fargo, ND that stems from a lot of conservatives so going to Chicago was a nice cultural reset if that makes sense. You see black, hispanic, etc. people here but I have never really seen as many non whites as I did when I was in Chicago and it was NICE. I don't know how to type that without it accidentally coming across wrong and that is NOT what I want so hopefully you know what I mean. Prior to researching moving to Chicago, I did not know how segregated the city is but now that I do it frustrates me BUT I like that there are so many different cultures like you said. I hate how much media played up Chicago being dangerous because that's all my sister and I heard when we went to Chicago by ourselves. We didn't have any issues except for a school bus almost hitting us. I really liked this video as I would not have thought about there being certain types of food you might have a harder time finding there.

You’re not meeting the right locals. I’m from the West side and we speak and once people get to know you you’re family. Remember the AA’s have southern roots the mind your business is for safety reasons lol. And the West Indians are more North Side. The West Indian Parade is in August. But I also understand people have their own experiences.

I’m a Chicago native and I’ve lived here my whole life… if traveled a little but never moved. You were spot on with all your observations about the city.

Born and raised on the westside of Chicago , everything you said was pretty much spot on. Glad you enjoying yo time here , be sure to try some uncle remus Chicken and smoques bbq if you haven't already.

Kudos for trying something new! The good thing about nursing is that it's a life long career, once you have your license you can always go back
