black woman turned Mexican: a day in the life living in Mexico City

spend the day with me as a Mexican! Living in Mexico City has turned everyday into an unpredictable adventure. Come with me on my very first excursion as we go off the beaten path to explore the parts where tourists typically DON'T GO :)

I really didn’t think Mexico was this developed, but this is with the news has put in my head over the last 40 years

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Perfect time to get out and see the world for yourself 🫶🏽✨

[@martinohesse]

Also, let me tell you that Mexico ambiance is not yellow like in Hollywood movies 😂😂😂

[@felipenunez2058]

😂😂. Im from los angeles and moved to Tennessee I felt the same way about the south. Mexico is a big los angeles except the transit system is 100% better.

[@josemiguelromero3153]

Well you’re in a big surprise, México City it’s beautiful, specially in December!

I am from CDMX and it is the first video I have seen that shows you the real CDMX and not the artificial Roma Condesa, congratulations to your guide and welcome to the wonderful ciudad de México.❤

[@dandotamizado6641]

don't be stupid I live in del valle im Mexican so I m not real? wtf. all corner of cdmx is real from Santa Fe to Iztapalapa. Roma and condesa are not artificial it's just different, y no sé porque te estoy escribiendo en ingles.

[@GmailGoogle-fj9yd]

What is the real cdmx? I just knew Roma when I went to cdmx

[@LalaSmiles]

I loved loved lovedddd CDMX 🥺 I was all over the place. Luckily my masseuse was cool and she took me all around!

[@TheWalkingLion]

That’s because the “real” Mexico City can be a really dangerous place. Iztapalapa is well known for it’s high crime rate. Going alone with a camera in hand is not a great idea if you are exploring areas like that.

[@armynavymarine2]

​@@TheWalkingLion there is no 'real' Mexico City. Like any city, the 'real' is everything that makes up the city both good and bad.

[@shonteturnerturnfit2363]

I just found your channel!! I’m from Houston too, and starting our journey as well! We’re headed to México City Dec 9th for a month!! Your videos are giving me life!

[@aquaqueenhtx]

How did your stay go? Are you back in HOU?

[@shonteturnerturnfit2363]

@@aquaqueenhtx Hi! I actually live in Az right now. The stay was good but too cold in December for no central heating lol. We’re coming back in May for a month! And going to visit Merida too! After that heading to Panama! Mexico City is seriously in the conversation now!

[@Younique2011]

I love how the dogs in the street dont attack people

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Never ❤️

[@Younique2011]

​@@itsjasminegiselleu know I live in Chicago area lol and them stray dogs stay attacking in my area

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Aww naw. The strays here in Mexico mind their business lol and they’re highly intelligent

[@martinohesse]

That's because most of people treat street dogs with high respect. Many times the street dogs are feed by local commerces.

[@FUNKYTUNEZ714]

Dogs Mexico are very friendly..I think is because they are so used to people

[@JennieDreamWeaver]

Your smile is everything! I love the people you toured with, they warmed up to you filming 😊

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Thank you ! And yesss they were great. We had a blast 💕✨

[@danielruiz3756]

I'm from Mexico (I live in the US now) and I remember the first time I went back when I was around 16, I literally kept staring at a girl who was speaking English with someone at a Plaza....she looked at me and said 'i'm having a private conversation with my friend, do you want to join!?'...she was mad...and at the moment I didn't realize I was being inappropriate by staring and being nosy, but I will never forget that. For me it was like 'I can speak English now!' and I could understand her! I was so excited and when you're from a different country (non-US), you get so proud of speaking English and you want to 'show off' that you can understand them!...but I was very naive and shouldn't have been nosy It didn't even cross my mind that I was being inappropriate. I hope you enjoyed Mexico. It has been a while since I've gone back I enjoyed watching the real Mexico at least around the Mexico city.

[@crowdmurmuring]

I'm coming to Mexico to study art next year! Thank you for documenting this!

[@famika34567]

This looked so fun!! Not the lady telling you it's the hood😂. This was indeed a beautiful experience. Yes, to travel. Wow, town hall. Lots to do. I'd be excited, too. Plug in to adventure.❤

[@itsjasminegiselle]

She had me cracking up the entire tour 😂 we definitely had a good time 💕

[@kenyamurray3315]

First I want to say Thank you for sharing your experience with us like I literally feel like I’m there with you all I do is smile the whole time watching your videos because I’m just so happy for you but also wishing it was me experiencing the world like that which that part of it makes me teary eyed 😊 continue to stay safe & enjoy every moment of this experience & keep us involved 💙💙💙💙💙

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Aww thank you for watching and believe me when I say traveling isn’t as hard or as scary as you may think. Start with some stateside solo trips and go from there! This can 100% be YOU 🦋

[@cylon5741]

@@itsjasminegiselle This is the second of your videos I have watched. It seems like you are feeling better about Mexico City. Was the tall gentleman on your tour an expat like you? Maybe he has a group of friends with whom you could hang out. I also subscribe to another African-American woman's channel. I think she lives in Mexico City and shares your love of the finer things. Maybe you two could collaborate, even be friends? The name of the channel escapes me at this time. Do more tours, make new friends. Peace!

[@AnNgo-uk1gf]

I am a US citizen, but Mexico gave me political asylum in 2010. I got involved immediately with a bunch of older folks, Black Panther Party members who have been exiled down here from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, they want to go visit kids and grandkids in the US but still got warrants for their arrests. Most of them are retiring now though, and most gave classes at the UNAM

[@foggycraw6758]

Thats so cool

[@dawnkikong637]

[@Laura-sg6ss]

Oooo!! Awesome! I will definitely check that out when I go to Mexico! I hope I can see them before they pass😢😢! I mean they are not that old but you know it happens😢! That is so so cool! Thank you for telling us that, this is a blessing because I have so many questions. I know a few went to Cuba, do you know where they generally are in Cuba?😊

[@AnNgo-uk1gf]

@@Laura-sg6ss almost all of the ones who fled to Cuba are in Habana

[@Laura-sg6ss]

@@AnNgo-uk1gf yeah for sure, but do they teach at a specific place, I mean I guess those like Assata are wanted so they might try and get to her so maybe she doesn't frequent the same places all the time but do they teach someone specific for example or no?

[@rayjackson812]

This was a really dope video. I loved your soundtrack and your energy. Especially your reactions and side comments. You're hilarious. I too get excited about everything when traveling abroad. Specifically, the everyday things like grocery shopping. Because it always ends up being an adventure. Thank you for sharing your experience. I look forward to your next vid.

Iztapalapa is not the HUD! Is just a medium low income county. When I visited Mexico City I went to really bad neighborhoods and still felt more secure than here in USA. You need to be respectful and everyone will help you. 😊

[@jesusvillasenor3322]

Excellent video! Really enjoyed the trip! Thank you.

[@morrowcleveland]

Good day. Great video. You seem much happier than the previous video I watched. (The one where you had been there for 4 days.) I'm glad that I watched this video before I commented. I am a black American woman who lives in Chicago. I'm 60, but look much younger. I'm vibrant and love people and doing "stuff". I said that to set the context. My husband and I just arrived from Mexico City this morning. It was a 3 day trip, our first to CDMX. I loved it from day one! Yes, there was more of a language barrier than I expected, but people were kind and helped us. (And we used Google translate alot!) We never felt that anyone was looking at us differently. Most folks just went about there business and did not pay any attention to us. If we smiled, they smiled back. If we said Hola, they responded. We loved the energy of the city and that there are so many things to do and places to be. CDMX may now be our new favorite place in Mexico. We look forward to going back! I realize your previous video was 3 months ago. I hope that you have settled in now and found your "peace place". May the rest of your journey be filled with wonderful, enriching experiences. God bless you for taking this travel lesson while you are still young! Seeing the world is the best classroom! PS - I loved this tour. I'm definitely making note of this for our next trip to CDMX. Thank you for sharing! 😊
