[@care4sher188]

Shared!!! This is a much needed trip in our culture. In all cultures. I want THAT soap an ting...lol look at those beautiful children ...😍😍😍

[@counterproof]

+Shameless Maya Loved the entire video. Especially the beautiful women in it ;)

[@gifty2595]

The women that were singing and clapping as they welcomed them gave me goosebumps 😚

[@shamelessmaya]

Yes it was very emotional for us. I was in complete awww. I don't know if this is the best analogy but it felt like meeting my parents for the first time...being welcomed after being taken away and not knowing who they were all these years but always wondering

[@gifty2595]

+Shameless Maya What a beautiful analogy ❤👍#welcomehome

[@cherylneely7900]

I cried...

[@patrickstarrr]

BEAUTIFUL VLOG! Off to buy NOW! 😭💘🙌

[@ValenciaB]

+PatrickStarrr RIGHT????? I'M SO IN LOVE!!!!!

[@dfarnco1008]

Now this is a hell of a commercial, feel like I won't even see the other brands next time I'm out and see this. Beautiful

[@shamelessmaya]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@bykendrajo]

I boohooed and cried watching this...just an overwhelming sense of going back to the land my ancestors were taken from. God is so good to take our tragedies and turn them into our triumphs. For you guys to be selected to partake in this experience is such a big deal! I can't wait to visit Africa. 🙏

[@shamelessmaya]

+KeShaJo TV thank you for the love!

[@FrenchiJ]

+Shameless Maya OMG! I thought I was the only 1 who cried! Thanks for this video Hun! Maya you are truly an inspiration 2 me. Gosh...my life!!!

[@desertflwrs]

❤️ your comment

[@anaointa]

Omg this was so emotional for me watching this. I'm so grateful for these legitimate Fair Trade companies and honestly, just black culture in general. Thank you for beautifully showcasing all of this, Maya.

[@shanboody]

I put this on fullscreen and just got totally lost in the journey with you! Ugh I loved it Maya so so well done: heart, story, insight and beauty. You managed to show Africa in its natural beauty without it being remotely sad like how everywhere seems to do. Bravo! Well worth the wait

[@ososandi]

Wow that looks like such an amazing experience. Of course I should a few tears. I am legit going to buy some Allafia products this week!!

[@ososandi]

*Shed a few tears

[@ValenciaB]

+Sandi F Girl right???? Looking them up now!1!1!!!!

[@lanceraenell]

I've been using Alaffia products for the past 5 months and I absolutely love them! To find out that they are "actual" FAIR trade is amazing! I remember Fran mentioning how she teared up when they welcomed you all into the village; I got chills while watching. Thanks for introducing this wonderful product to the public!

[@sweetiepie9411]

Exactly, I was very curious and honestly skeptical, but happy to see the brand is legit!

[@WinterVanity]

africa seems so gorgeous wow. amazing video maya!

[@HamziyeAman]

It really is. There is so much more to Africa than people know.

[@WinterVanity]

+Hamzi_fit I'm sure. I'd give anything to visit

[@12moyolee]

+ChrisMcCullyTv Africa is a continent not a country

[@GirlsLiftToo]

I agree! Looks so lovely, would love to visit

[@juliewamona]

+Lanisa Moyosore you tell them...

[@eVaniwithaV]

AAWWWWW!!!!! I wanted to pick up every single one of those children and squeeze them!!!! Great video!

[@Popsplaining]

It's always a beautiful thing to see Africa in a positive language. I love the vibrancy in this video and the fact that you keep pushing us as viewers to be conscience about the world around us is one of the reasons I love your channel. LOL I have never looked at water the same way after you did the challenge with the Gallon of water. That plus the Flint water crisis changed my perspective 180 degrees. Thanks for being you!

[@shamelessmaya]

+the young, the broke, & the bookish oh wow! thanks for the feed back!

[@KassandraMilk]

Home !!!! Motherland !😭💖 Ça fait plaisir de voir ça 🙌

[@webcamofthefuture4044]

moi aussi mais je suis de la cote d'ivoire ☺☺

[@DigitalDimplesTV]

+Androus Andrea me too! 😊

[@pg7815]

This particular blog touched me to the core! I am from Haiti and this just reminded me how resilient, strong and brave our people really are! God bless this Alaffia owner for giving back to his community; God will multiply his earnings. Thank you Maya for sharing awesomeness with the rest of the world.

[@ForEverMeTori]

Maya, you are amazing, your doing things I can only imagine. I wish, I was more outgoing, bold, and fierce like you. Great video, you look at home dancing. keep doing you boo!

[@shamelessmaya]

+AllThingsFusionHair i used to wish and actually STILL wish i was more outgoing and more bold and fierce! thanks for the love boo!

[@ForEverMeTori]

Your doing it, and living it boo! Thanks for replying.

[@cheyenneanais]

+Shameless Maya You are a PHENOMENAL WOMAN

[@iversongirl]

The motherland! I hope to visit parts of West Africa some day. I found out that part of my roots through a genetic DNA test were traced back to the Mende people of Sierra Leone and Balanta people of Guinea-Bissau! I feel even more connected to my African roots than ever before. ( By the way, the natives were gorgeous! I loved seeing their genuine happiness) :)

[@leilabeautyxx7351]

Awh the little kids dancing nd singing 😍❤️

[@SisiYemmieTV]

OMG...I bust out crying as they greeted you all with singing. So enchanting. To humanity!

[@MuslimQueens]

I feel like shit after watching this video!!! Amazing hard working people 😢 they only need few things to be happy. Thank you Maya for this great sharing. 😙

[@imaniashante7924]

I'm crying right now--it's so beautiful. I feel the love through the lens. The people are warm and lovely. You were very blessed to have been able to go to Mother Afrika. I never complain about prices again. Blessings, Queen.

[@NeutralRush]

Wow those hard working women! Strong beautiful women, God bless them🙏

[@shamelessmaya]

Right?! So strong and hard working!

[@AfrikanReine92]

I just came back from Senegal, which is where my dad is from and it is a wonderful experience and you realize how fortunate you are and how beautiful people are, can't wait to go back

[@krystalsmith4022]

This is possibly my favorite video you've ever done! I already love and support Alaffia, but will definitely be supporting them 100x more after watching this video

[@paulineenewman]

If this didn't touch you, move you or inspire you to be better, to do for others and to be aware of the products you use and how they are made then your eyes were closed. We're so blessed as a Nation. Don't throw away opportunities. I'm encouraged to do more. I'm so teary-eyed right now. Oh who am I kidding? I'm crying because we're blessed yet so we're ungrateful. Thank you Maya. This is inspiring. Please continue to follow your heart and creating your own path.

[@kyristal]

Seeing this I felt naturally connected to the land it was overwhelming . I was teary eyed the whole time . I must visit one day. Thank you so much for sharing !

[@shamelessmaya]

I'm glad you felt it! It really was an overwhelming experience :)

[@princesslolo3]

this is crazy amazing!!! I had no idea this is what I am supporting when I buy my favourite alaffia Shea body lotion.

[@dianatoguefai6907]

Thank you maya for sharing my beautiful country with the world :)

[@sincerelyadwoa]

Wow I love what you do maya. I wish you spent more time in my country of Ghana. Makes me want to go back. Everyone should get the chance to experience Africa!

[@agathadanquah]

I wanted to say the same :) I miss Ghana 😣

[@evaclerk3267]

I miss Ghana....proud Ghanaian

[@madelynn-delarosa]

This is SO important and this video was incredible! Really makes us think twice about how/what we consume :-) Love you, Maya!

[@slapstickcomedy4083]

You inspire me to continue to do so much with my life. I tell my friends and family about you all the time !!!!!! You're Awesome !!

[@shamelessmaya]

+Carelle Gnofam girl u and i both i cried i screamed lol i laughed lol

[@JacJackieJay]

Literally in tears. Yesterday while holding my god son, I talked to my best friend about how overwhelmingly happy I was to finally make the difference that I want to see in the world. We're all about to graduate and it's crazy how far we've come, what we've done and what we can do. Our parents didn't go to college like we did and they weren't exposed to the opportunities we have been exposed to, yet they managed to educate us and afford to pay for us to be where we are. I was telling them that I can't imagine what WE can do for our kids, my god son, our future generations, and the people around us. We sat and talked about what we can do to be effective in the fields we're going into. We also talked about the change we can create with the knowledge that we'll gain and the connections we have made. Everyone in my neighborhood didn't get a chance to go to school and I am almost in a position to be able to ensure that those people in my old neighborhood get the same opportunities that I did. I watched this video and cried. What an overwhelming feeling it is to see change in such an immense way. I want to do that. I want to open schools. I want to change our poor school systems in the US. I want to figure out a way to provide healthy affordable food. Shit, I want to provide food to people who just don't have it. And the crazy thing is....all of my friends have plans like that too. I haven't been excited for graduation because I've been so busy and distracted with no time to think about it. Finally, with a moment to relax on this Friday morning, I'm so excited I'm about to graduate in April. It's only up from here.

[@KayKiOako]

they work so hard to make these things, its incredible I am truly thankful for them. I wish I had talents like that.

[@bebealexandre5393]

wow 😍 , i am Haitian but that didn't stop me from crying, the traditional welcome, the people oh God so beautiful. i want to visit one day...thank you @Maya😙

[@winifredHarry]

wow you had a journey of a life time, being able to experience something so beautiful is a blessing, so times we dont know how blessed we are for all the things we have. great video

[@LifeWithWit]

I am so amazed at the strenuous amount of work and sweat it takes to create all of these products! I am both proud and saddened! Proud that these individuals have made a way for their lives, saddened because they should not be poor! Look at the work! The actual hand, back, courageous work. Definitely has motivated me to be conscious about where my money is being sent to after making purchases. Thank you Maya for your continued meekness and #shamelessness! You have singlehandedly , along with the other great KZbinrs, changed lives for those amazing, deserving individuals.

[@shamelessmaya]

I feel you on all accounts! That is serious hard work and they do it with so much heart! Makes me check myself when I feel like complaining

[@chavasnoelle]

This was so beautiful! I loved seeing all of those beautiful happy faces.

[@azurisora6668]

Maya, you and the sista's did a fantastic job of educating us on the process of producing Fair trade shea butter and how this company supports their people.I was so moved when the owner stated"he was overwhelmed and wanted to do more...and I will do more"..this was such an important vlog....thank you!

[@shamelessmaya]

+azuri sora right?! As for the owner, he used to pick shea nuts from the ground as a kid and sell them. To go from picking shea nuts from the ground to selling them to Wholefoods and supporting a community and a country is NEXT LEVEL!

[@reicheru]

the beauty in this video is breathtaking. thanks for filming this experience to share with us!

[@IMakeupStuff]

Who the eff could give this video a thumbs down??????????????????? What an amazing experience!

[@shamelessmaya]

Haters! But it's all good. Cause they just need s big ol hug

[@IMakeupStuff]

Shameless Maya I mean, this video brought me to tears, so maybe it's just all those cold hearted people who can't stand to show emotions? But still! Also, can't wait to see what you and Alex collab on! :)

[@LoriLoveTV]

+I Makeup Stuff LOL my thought's exactly!!!! I guess it keeps things balanced. Look at it this way; the most beautiful trees and flowers we get to look at everyday and even the plants we eat to nourish our body all require dirt to grow.

[@LoriLoveTV]

+Shameless Maya Amazing video! Thanks for sharing :-)

[@lousywit]

I've been using the Alaffia African black soap as both body and face wash. Love the product. It's really good to see where it comes from, the people involved in the making of it, and the impact the company makes locally. Very inspiring and heart warming.

[@jaz1elise]

Amazing vlog! Africa seems like such a beautiful place to visit. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@maureensmith3897]

This warmed a spot in me that I didn't even know existed. Thank you guys so much. We need more independent media that can also show us the beauty of that continent rather than only places that are experiencing civil war. This is the void You tubers are filling for us.

[@thefitnessfoxx]

This is AMAZING. I am overcome with so many emotions watching this. So humbling.

[@laporchatanzale]

L O V E D this video! And I definitely need to find these products, I would love to support such an amazing cause!

[@HeyItsLilox]

so beautifully filmed! loved the morning shots in the village!

[@shamelessmaya]

Thanks girl! Glad you enjoyed!

[@13bullshit]

This video made me tear up a bit... It's such an amazing company. Never heard of them before but I will support them

[@livcontessa]

Thank you, Maya, for bringing this brand to my attention. My skin is rather oily, so I don't usually use a body lotion, however, I am addicted to African Black Soap and will be placing an order on the Alaffia website for some soap and hair products. This is a brand I am happy to support. I have two favorite parts of this video. The dance break and when you visited the kindergarten. I love children!

[@shamelessmaya]

Thank you for answering :) I can't believe you don't use body lotion!! I can't live without it! My skin gets so tight, dry, then cracks if I don't. I was happy to switch my body lotion to Alaffia along with my hair products.

[@IRoseline]

Maya you are just amazing. God is awesome. Thank you for allowing him to do miracles through you and thank you for sharing his greatest in your life. Be bless and keep doing you boo!

[@Maricely14]

Specifically What language did they sing in :)?

[@shamelessmaya]

The kids were singing in French

[@kikilomel]

+Shameless Maya the adult were also singing in kotokoli and cabrai , I am so glad you had the chance to visit my country. and enjoyed it!!! you made me cry lol

[@mrnegrocheese2]

+Shameless Maya french? what?! I feel kinda dumb lol, i didn't realize they spoke French in Ghana.

[@kelsey6353]

+mrnegrocheese2 French is actually spoken in quite a few African countries :)

[@bestapplecustomer]

+mrnegrocheese2 Europeans colonize most of the world, turning brown, black and red countries into diluted versions of themselves.

[@ArmyBarbie]

girl GO HEADD!! i wanna visit Africa so bad , shit I'm living thru YOU!!

[@dorotheekarekezi]

+Shameless Maya If you want to raise awareness about the African continent, pleeeeease start by avoiding labeling "African this" or "African that". It doesn't make any sense!!! You wouldn't title "European beauty" or "American beauty" because that's a whole continent we are talking about! Using this reducing term is pejorative and denies the infinitive variations of beauty within the African cultures. You cannot compare Nigerian beauty codes with the Rwandan ones or the Tunisian ones! That is wrong! Bad and wrong! Similarly that Italian beauty has nothing to do with the Norwegian one or French! And you, as a "woman of color" as they like to label us, AND a youtuber, should know that better than anybody. Keep doing your good job but please use the right terms. Peace

[@tostoamico7759]

African don't care of what you are saying.you should be from somalia, or not african at all

[@Forevermiraj]

thank u Maya for letting me see some of the world through your lens. what an awesome experience

This was so beautiful. I'm so inspired by what Alaffia is doing. Thank you for documenting this

[@aprilviolet6121]

I loved this! Its nice to see such a positive representation of the Motherland. Africa is such a blessed continent full of many beautiful countries. I'll look out for Alaffia products in the UK and support.

[@nellarose4758]

I just got done watching heyfranhey video..I love fair trade and our motherland!!! You all have encouraged me to support and try this brand out for sure! ❤️

[@TiffanyMaloneTV]

When I say, I AM SOOOOOOOINSPIRED BY THIS VIDEO. WOW!!! This is awesome. I will support them, what a beautiful product and community.

+Jessica Leann right?! same!

[@LexiDarcel]

OMG Maya this was SO BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for sharing! I started tearing up as they were welcoming you all because I dream of one day visiting the motherland as well :)

[@BreenyLee]

This was beautiful Maya, thanks for sharing your journey with us

[@foshizzleB]

Awesome video Maya. especially loved the morning time lapse, scenery shots, the clip of you actually using the products, showing how much fun you had, the commentary which sounded more encouraging than the guilt trip some of these sound like. We need more conscious consumers in order to influence more business to take fair trade more seriously. Great stuff, love your consistency, from house of Marley to this, shaving your hair off was also extreme but consistent! can't wait to reach that level of self awareness and focus!

[@SimplyMassa]

I love my people, some of the most hard working people in the entire world.

[@NiciTheGreat]

This is beautiful ! I cannot wait to travel to the motherland . Those ladies are such hard workers

[@rubberduckie122]

I just love his words at 7:50: "I feel overwhelmed that I need to do more...And I will do more" There's so much wisdom here :)

[@shamelessmaya]

+CourageCaro right? i asked him about his work and it seems so overwhelming and he doesn't feel like he's doing enough! which i understand but Alaffia is literally saving and changing lives!
