African Americans On Life Abroad in Namibia | Part 2

[@blomie1990]

hello Afro-American. I'm Namibian and just Wana applaud you both on how you contributing to our country, this interviews are definitely enlightening and quite interesting. thumbs up

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@MsDoria1029]

Love this convo, very educational.

[@NayeLoveArt1992]

woooah! Both interviews are very eye opening, I would definitely visit first before even thinking about moving anywhere on the continent. I really enjoy your channel thanks for sharing your experiences! :)

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks for watching this interview!

[@andrealogan6895]

I love the interviews. So insightful and honest.

[@TonnyOkello]

It is always a pleasure listening to the interview , your guest is a lovely person too!

[@IwanAcleverUtubeName]

Thank you soooo much for interviews like this. Very refreshing!

[@nikodemusnikodemus9289]

I'm Namibian and I like it when people are talking about their experience while living in it, the good the bad the ugly, it's fine. How about you make many of the same Kaylan(I'm sorry if I have misspelled it). It's like I was in the conversation too, lol, I really enjoyed all the parts, this is indeed eye-opening, I can't wait for the next one

[@NMendy-mw4ij]

Talking about seeing you guys 'as spies', I have to be honest, I was one of those that thought peace corps employees are disguise CIA officers. Especially, if they are white. When I was back home, I interacted with a few of them. I was a lot open to people on vacation or on other missions. I think differently now. Sorry Anita. Kaylan, keep doing the wonderful work. I'm very proud of you even though I'm not a Namibian. I just feel like every African should be appreciative of the awareness and exposure you're bringing to the continent.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you and thanks for this reflection!

[@jasminepearls1047]

She isnt an agent but be leery of medications Westerners bring to Africa. There are cases of polio vaccines.

[@zayloc23]

Lovvvvvvvvve your channel!!i know you are living it up in Africa, just when you can, can you make more videos? Many of my friends here in America are looking to make the trip to Africa, and you are one of the channels I always refer them to. Peace&Blessings!!!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi! I will start back up! My son keeps me running in circles and so my channel took a back seat! Please also check out my website, www.aainafrica.com - I have many interviews there with other African Americans living across Africa and more of own personal perspectives, that your friends may find useful!

[@kimmie1377]

Hey Kalyan, this segment was absolutely incredible. I appreciate you of course sharing your life experiences in Namibia 🇳🇦and am grateful for Anita sharing her experience as well. I mostly appreciate the different perspective you both bring but also many of the similarities. I was not the least bit surprised about the behavior displayed by Asians in Namibia 🇳🇦. I am from NYC and am very familiar with their treatment and disregard for black folks. I recently visited San Francisco and found that they're no different. I no longer purchase anything from their restaurants, beauty supply stores or supermarkets. It's very unfortunate how they are received in Namibia 🇳🇦 and given so much high regard as opposed to a black person from another country, but I digress. Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to the next video. Until then take care of you and your family ❤️.

[@jessierosefull]

I heart this interview Kaylin! Very informative, I appreciate Anita's sincerity in her answers, right on point. Sorry, this is totally off topic, what software did u use to record each other if i may ask?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you! I used a free app called Zoom (it's free for one-to-one web conference convos). zoom.us

[@jessierosefull]

Thank u for ur reply Kaylin! I will look into it.

[@Therongunner]

Happy New Year Kaylin. Thank you for marketing our country to the world through your platform Please keep up the good work. Greet your husband for me.

[@kenedyhalwoodi491]

This is lovely and I am happy with this, this can/will benefit several Namibian if we try to figure out the moral of the interview but not criticizing it. Thanks Kaylan

[@lindabrown0]

..........Loved both parts of the discussion. Keep them coming...................

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@globalvil3280]

nice listening to u guys talk. u know, the overview... very nice !! ☺☻

[@yagyahalexander8295]

what she's saying about feeling left out I totally relate to that's why I only chill with one person at a time NEVER in groups cuz I experience that everyDay and ppl put on an act almost also they not all themselves around US and the questions about America omg I'm tired of them already

[@oliviangandajao1773]

Anita? We had so much fun in Namibia. Can't wait to see you again.

[@aames312]

Hi Auntie!! Love you and miss you

[@HerLovesBooks]

Fantastic interview.

[@jasminepearls1047]

I read your blog post called MOVING TO AFRICA? LEAVE THESE 6 HANG-UPS BEHIND the last part about sharing plates and letting people put their hands in mushy foods like oatmeal that would be something I could not do under any circumstances. I have actual OCD my ex was from West Africa and his mother over me some fufu drowned in a gravy like stew I politely refused. Too many saliva spread diseases like herpes, hpv, hepatitis in this world.

[@williamkarngar4985]

love it.. im from Liberia.. thx for the info.. much more success

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks for watching!

[@mwinyimwenyi]

Since you are a journalist have you considered working for some major western media company as a correspondent for the region. It would be less costly for those companies to employ somebody living there.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

That's a fantastic idea! Thanks so much :)

[@reyteeuniversalvlogs1154]

you actually gave her a legit idea, and i think she can excel on that.

[@KimPureLove]

love this video. thank you ladies.

[@jnyerere]

Keep these interviews coming. I've never had a "taste" for visiting South Africa, because from the pictures it always seemed too much like the "same ole same ole" to me. Remnants of a type of colonialism taken to the max. However, thanks to your videos, I really wanna visit Namibia, which in my opinion is far more authentic than what I might have gotten from South Africa. Your videos definitely make a difference. And while I've already been to several African countries (all in East Africa), I know many of my peers who still think that Africa is a vast jungle savanna filled with lions and hippos. They have no idea what they're missing. Your videos allow me to show some of my "less informed" friends what Africa truly has to offer, and how diverse it is from one country to another. So thank you and please keep them coming whenever possible.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Yes, so many people are really missing out. Thanks for the supportive words!

[@aaronpayne2785]

Thanks for more informal videos. Theres a growing number of Dark skin people who are pro Dark skin(black). Your videos gives a heads-up to those who think the motherland is all pro Dark skin. FYI. I don't use the word black to describe our people because none of us are black. I use Dark skin instead of black. Thank you so much for your efforts

[@kaanduka]

This kept me glued on my seat, to listen this interesting interview about MY COUNTRY, you guys said it ALL.. You being honest about your experiences. I should say, this is quite informative to those who might be interested to visit NAMIBIA, they should be ready to face the heat though 😂😂. Afro American Queen, get me connected with your friend (one you interviewed) maybe we can come up with an online busses. I am a teacher (School Principal ) in the NORTHERN NAMIBIA, Ohangwena Region.

[@ldwalker1000]

Good interview, thank you

[@BestofafricaBestofafrica]

this beautiful segments I can't wait for your next video. I have a question for you. what to you think about nursing job in Nmambia? it's easy for find work in the health care field or teaching nursing /home train nurses to get a job.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Quality skilled nurses are desperately needed, particularly in the government (public) hospitals. I think foreign nurses from the States have a real advantage in getting a healthcare job in Namibia. And it's the same for many other African nations.. I would visit and meet with the hospital staff here. Bring your resume and your 'qualifications' (your degree - original) and a police clearance from the States. You can check out the website for the Namibia Ministry of Health (like the American department of health) to get a feel for the system here.

[@4d.4c.4b4]

This is really good Kaylan (y) keep up great work.... And @ Anita, you should have asked Mr President your question gal....why not try again you could possibly ask him - suggestion: a letter could make up for it perhaps :-)

[@LikerofThings]

Hi, quick question. What editing program do you use for your videos?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi! I use iMovie on my MacBook Pro laptop.

[@acajudi100]

My daughter taught in Madrid, Acapulco, Tokyo Jakarta, Bali, Hanoi, and will be returning to Spain. Every African, that I met here were not nice.

[@bentoefremteenage9252]

I LOVE U MY LOVELY SISTERS.

[@LoveOfSouthernAfrica]

AfroAmericaninAfrica How is the Education system in Namibia ?The Universities and how expensive?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi there! There are three main universities here (University of Namibia, Polytechnic of Namibia and IUM) and then smaller colleges. They are good, however, many students aspire to study abroad - those who can afford to. In terms of the tuition try googling the schools as they might have them listed on their websites.

[@laquandabaker4070]

What was her degree? What do u have to major in to teach abroad? My fiance is from Ghana. I'm thinking about moving there

[@frederickkotze6546]

@AfroAmericaninAfrica what is your experience and thoughts of white Namibians. I've heard there are some white Namibians?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

I wrote an article about it actually.. matadornetwork.com/life/confronting-white-privilege-black-expat-namibia/

[@lordreddit4288]

Can anyone tell me whether or not you can buy plantains in Namibia?? I want to stay a couple months but being able to buy plantains is a must.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

I WISH!!! They sell NO plantain here and it drives me insane! I wonder if they could grow here though... hmm..we may have to try growing some on my husband's land!

[@mollypohamba]

They do

[@yagyahalexander8295]

oh that lady is referring to POTJIE like potjie kos Afrikaans word. that's good stuff

[@acajudi100]

i have found out, that Africa can be expensive for housing, food etc. you are correct stink attitudes. At least you are not being killed, like Chicago. i am an elder, so the heat would kill me and the dengue etc America hires foreigners before us, You are welcome to cool off in Waukegan.

[@johnu.9732]

what is your website?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi, it's: www.aainafrica.com

[@johnu.9732]

AfroAmericaninAfrica Thanks for the link to the website. I am from Rwanda but I live in Raleigh, NC. I was deeply touched by your story. Thanks and Welcome home!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much for the welcome and lovely comment Jean!

[@johnu.9732]

AfroAmericaninAfrica hey. I checked up your website. You have good writing skills. you should sell them on fiverr. I am looking for someone to help me write a book and I can use someone like you.

[@zaatnureamaruxi2484]

[@alyciamason-joynes7343]

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi! Awesome! Pls shoot me an email at: [e-mail]!!

[@yagyahalexander8295]

went to windhoek for a week it's scary isolated like don't leave windhoek if you gonna miss civilization type isolated. its really not much to describe outside of windhoek just Bush bush bush but windhoek is chill similar to south Africa I don't like that mtc bs SIM cards the pay weekly thing for my phone. no monthly or bundles and the taxis are confusing I think I just like thr quiet and the clean however dry air but being american having lived in cape town 2 years I find it difficult blending in and identifying with the locals I definitely feel out of place and dating is f difficult cuz the mentality is bizarre here in cape town anyway

[@reflectionofyou3065]

And something needs to be done about these new Chinese colonialists just as these sellouts as custodians who reward our resources to those people

[@echetabuemeka4087]

Nigeria could have been the best place for you guys because Nigerians are interesting people.. but it's not a save place to be.
