A Traveling Sista | Moving to Dar es Salaam: Interview With Author Rukiya

[@onasiszm66]

Africa is paradise sisters let’s build it..

[@travelingsista]

You got that right!

[@rukiya6697]

Yes, yes, yes!

[@joshuascott9598]

Downloaded the book! Love this channel, but going to share this video with my wife. Been warming her up to moving too another country. So tired of the US. My friends who live in other countries say they're not as monetarily rich, but are happier regardless.

[@travelingsista]

I feel the same exact way. It’s helping me to reshape my needs for monetary abundance and lean more into spiritual health and overall happiness!

[@rukiya6697]

Thankyou for purchasing the book! I hope you it helps you and your family on your journey! I also agree that we are much happier and life is much less stressful than when we were in the US. :)

[@diannebrown2199]

Two beautiful Sisters. Blessing to the both of you and your families

[@louislark4506]

Good morning. Thanks immensely for interviewing this sister. Very informative. And- thanks for showing your supporters the cafe, walking the terrain where you reside. I would like to see longer vlogs of stores, cafes, Tananaza homes, interection with friends, musuems, African cooking, schools. Appease our travel appetite with the various vlogs devoid of the same ritual interviews. Eclectic videos will enable your supporters to maintain their interest.

[@travelingsista]

Thank you for the feedback and honesty! I really appreciate it ♥️

[@Anirtak4791]

[@djb8733]

I looove your channel..I wanted to move to the continent after visiting a couple years ago, but life had other plans for me...fell in love with a Ghanaian and I recently relocated to Tokyo, Japan where he works and performs. Never thought of every being in Japan, but please believe one day.. we'll be back on that beautiful continent again . until then I will be enjoying the journey being a Traveling Sista.❤️ Keep the videos coming.

[@echetabuemeka4087]

Wow,you are in tokyo? I am Nigerian and also live in tokyo. You married to a ghanaian? thats great. So how are you enjoying japan?

[@ayabellene]

Rukiya and Sis! Thank you for sharing your wholesome travelling adventures. My travelling journey began in St. Thomas and Puerto Rico as well. I can't wait to get back out there! 💖🐞 Watching your videos my eyes are being open to the ways that African Americans can restore the very places we were torn away from. I'm inspired!

[@cguyton1100]

Thanks Traveling Sista for these awesome informative videos. I can't wait to visit Tanzania next year :)

[@selamawitdyer]

This was a great interview! I travel with my family too and we will be in TZ this November!

[@travelingsista]

Oh awesome. How long will you be here?

Yep Rwanda is great for business!

[@tracywalker244]

Great video! Can you keep us abreast by video on how she is making out with her move?

[@travelingsista]

I do t really believe that’s my place to do that. But you could feel free to follow her Instagram. She may possibly post post things on there.

[@ajinamaia4262]

Amazing video! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@kiesemedia433]

i liked seeing this video footage. keep going 🤞

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Wow, that's amazing. I'm from Pittsburgh PA too. Been trying to convince my wife a move to the African continent would be ideal for our family. She has been opening up to the idea, but still a work in progress!

[@CreatingT]

Great insight as usual!

[@tracywalker244]

Great 👍Will do. Thanks.

[@kisha4474]

[@adventmunga1871]

Still southern Africa data: Mozambique is a size of 801,000 Square metres with a population of 28M .costline of about 1,300 kilometres .It's twice the size of California but cali as ,2pac called it,has 38 million people .South Africa is 1,220,000 Square Metres in size and a costline of K2,500 kilometres with a population of 55M compare it to German which is sized only 358,000 but with a population of 82M. We will not talk about DRC for now (the richest country on the planet in terms of all natural resources)until it stabilises politically, when this happens in DRC, the economic boom for central and southern Africa if not the entire continent, that will take place will be of epic proportions.This is why the race that hates us so much is involved in clandestine activities in DRC, sponsoring Rebels and factions while they loot the resources. The whole Belgium upto the time of DRC independence was built by the wealth of this country. Believe me when I tell you that Africa is yawning for everything including population and exploitation of it's abundant unending natural resources. African Americans need to organise themselves, discuss with African Governments to get easy passage to residence and resources, I bet you will get the #1 preference, especially as the colonial mind set leaders start diminishing in the next 10 to 20 years and the 2pac,Jay-Z , Beyonce, Obama e.t.c influenced minds take over African leadership.But as you start coming in numbers beware we are not developed, majority of us are hungry and poor looking, don't feel ashamed of yourself that your race is poor instead work to build it, develop it and better it. Some of you might focus on the 5 to 20 % that might not be African in your DNA but hey even with only 1% black in your blood other races will still not love and accept you like we will.

[@travelingsista]

Nothing but the truth. DRC is the richest on natural resources. Number 1 in the world. That’s why the Chinese have peaked their interest and are even there mining illegally.

[@NegSteLucie]

Your hope is in Tupac, Ja-z, Beyonce and Obama influenced minds? How about minds influenced by Cheik Anta Diop, Leopold Senghor, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Ivan Van Sertima, Derek Walcott, James Baldwin, Ngugi Wa Th'iongo, Steve Biko and Thomas Sankara?

[@kiwishbj1]

We love you whether you like it or not. Come back to any good country in Africa. Africa is home for you and us. Come and feel like a queen or King. Real life brothers and sisters. You'll discover what they've never told you.

[@godreymwanje985]

Thank you lala salama amjambo wote

[@Bigboy-nx3nc]

Nice video 👊

[@mamasbotanicalsfarm7538]

Thanks so much for this video. I make herbal compounds and what I don't grow or source locally I purchase through Amazon. Do you have any first hand experience with using Amazon.

[@travelingsista]

Nice! Amazon actually doesn’t ship here. I’ve only heard that they ship books. I’ve tried to get things shipped here. Certain products say “available for shipping to TZ” but when I put them in the cart and try to check out, it says that they don’t ship. So I still haven’t figured that one out 🤷🏾‍♀️ but I’ve heard that Ali Express ships. I still have to look into it though.

[@AngieR82]

I'm so on board with this. I just dont know where to start. How can we talk privately?

[@jpat989]

Hello Traveling Sistah. Did she and her family settle in Tanzania? If so, it would be interesting to hear of her experiences and where they settled.

I wish about this...

[@Highlyblessed4]

How much money I need to move there?

[@nicolassocci4311]

Hi ,did you do recidence permit? how easy IS to do It?

[@BeNjIsTyLeS]

*trop fou cette vidéo!*

[@kwameashanti53]

Have not seen anything from you in my mailbox recently so i'm beginning to get a bit worried ,say something to let us know you ,the young on and hubbie to be are all ok, i'm looking.

[@ThrivingNotDying]

Was she on House Hunters International? She looks so familiar! If you do a follow up, I would like to know more about the family dynamic. I remember on the episode it said that her husband hasn't really been around the children much due to his job. Does she feel like a single mother? Or is he a more active participant than the show made him appear?

[@travelingsista]

Oh wow that would be cool if she was. I can’t really tell you much but you can feel free to follow her IG and DM her those questions. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind answering.

[@rukiya6697]

Yes, my family and I were on House Hunters (Chiang Mai, Thailand). :)

[@rukiya6697]

Traveling Sista our show aired some time in May. :)

[@samianahar]

Hello Sista, Thanks for your information and vlog. I am learning about Afirica. I am a web designer from Bangladesh,Asia. Want to travel Afirica, and if possible wanna do farming there. Can you give me some information about leasing land there or buying information ? Is it tough / easy ? Thanks in advance.

[@DavidMMKing]

Samia Nahar Welcome sista.. Africa is beautiful

[@tyrellx2476]

All of your videos are so helpful to me I appreciate you !!! Could you make a video on gun rights in Tanzania and how you go about that

[@protasnyoni3801]

No need for gun Possession here in Tanzanian everything is ok

[@tyrellx2476]

Protas Nyoni If you trust people that much that’s on you but I’m gonna protect my family at all costs , there are bad People everywhere no matter where you go it’s better to be armed than to be in a situation where your in desperate need

[@maryandrew259]

Tyrell X Gun laws destroyed America and increased homicide rates. In Africa people hardly own guns except armed robbers and the police. I'm Nigerian and in Nigeria people rarely die from gun shots (except the boko Haram situation in the core north) as the average person doesn't own a gun. However, you can get a gun but it's very expensive plus you can only get a shotgun ( I don't know if the law changed now). Africa is quite safe actually. Home invasions are not so common as the average home is equipped with a fence (sometimes with barbed wire or electric fence around), metal doors and burglary proof around the doors and windows.

[@burundishallsmile1day109]

👍🏾

[@request166]

Rwanda or there and why?

[@ambitiousboy1671]

Ilove to see black American investing in Africa

[@hm5603]

Sista can we meet you we're coming to dar in December 2018. I would love to meet you, comming from Australia and I'm moving in taz for good

[@mariettetet2632]

Genuine question... How are immigrants in Tanzania accepted in communities, and does it matter where you come from? I myself am not an African, but have considered moving to Tanzania since I’m intrigued with their culture and would love to learn more.... However, I’d love to talk about my questions that raised while I traveled through East Africa... Anyone keen to talk? Hit me up. :)

[@landdevelopersspot4604]

Come! Make friends Learn, practice People here don't care what color or ethnicity you belong to. As long as you respect who they are and don't push any agenda.. Welcome home brother

[@alphaville257]

Rukiya she has an African name yet shes American

[@adventmunga1871]

Southern Africa is yawning for population increase. East Africa is too populated. Good countries i can recommend are Zambia, though land locked it has a lot of natural lakes and man made lakes, and source of fourth longest river in Africa and the widest and deepest one of the seven wonder waterfalls .About 750, 000 Square KM in size and a population of 17M. Namibia has miles and miles of the cost line. It's 825,000 Square metres with a population of close to 3M.compare it to Texas sized 620, 000 sqm with a population of 26M .Angola sized 1 million + square metres with only a population of 30M .Mozambique, Botswana 560,000 Square metres with only 2M people. Zimbabwe might be in economic problem but is very peaceful. African Americans can go and leave in these countries and have the benefits of two worlds: USA and Africa. We are poor countries right now with very poor infrastructure but you can come with a mind set of doing serious business and help to develop these countries. I suppose you are exposed to better things to share with us. Am aware that you have been excluded or discriminated against when it comes to accessing credit in USA but am sure you still have better sources of Capital compared to an average African. Access those opportunity and come and invest in Africa. It's a continent yawning with opportunities with a wealth of un exploited resources .

[@mntwanawabantuacademy4170]

stop lying to people, i live in South Africa as well as East Africa the whle of my life, this is wrong information you selling to people.

[@dominicdemarco6213]

@Mntwana WaBantu Academy To be fair, the person is right in terms of population size. At first, I was taken aback by the comment but after a quick google search it’s evident that Kenya and Tanzania are densely populated relative to the their southern counterparts. The rest of their comment however, well, that’s subjective.

[@Ifeanyiijeh]

Mntwana WaBantu Academy what is wrong about the information he gave? I’m African myself and he’s spot on.

[@travelingsista]

See, the thing about Tanzania is that it’s densely populated MAINLY in Dar es Salaam. Up in Arusha the population isn’t even 1/4 of what Dar is. Tanzania has a population of around 58 million ppl. With a land mass of 365k square miles. A LOT of Tanzania is open planes, farmlands and less populated areas. I find that people live in densely populated pockets but not evenly spread out. You can see that clearly on the 11.5 hr bus ride from Dar to Arusha. But I definitely agree that African Americans can go to all places in Africa. Especially those that are not as populated and contribute to the economic growth of the continent.

[@ayabellene]

I love this conversation. I love I intiatiating and leading. Although I'm sure it would be a challenge this is useful info for someone with a spirit of adventure and capability like me. Thank you! 💖
