A diploma in Kenya means nothing in the US. My dad moved here with a green card in his 40s and couldn't handle it. He went right back to kenya. I on the other hand, I'm still here- i work as a nurse in an assisted living(most people in assisted livings can take care of themselves). Nursing is not for the faint at heart- there's a lot of $ in it but it's not by force you can always go back to school and do another course. 18yrs later i still love the US, i travel to Kenya yearly I get best of both worlds i guess. My advice to anyone looking to relocate, if you are doing good in Kenya- stay there, if you are struggling and get a chance to leave- do so knowing that you will have to work HARD!

[@dzamewabungo628]

Yes. Here you work, hard and smart. If you put in effort it will be reciprocated. People come thinking it will be nyweeeeeeeee.

[@collinsonyuka4639]

True kabisa

[@Diasporamedia23]

You captured it very well...

[@ektorkornoo8806]

Your guest, Lilly Richards, was practical, realistic, and down-to-earth. Her advice should help those hoping to make the journey to prepare properly, be ready to work hard, and NOT to expect streets paved with gold or free money for all new arrivals. Her multiple entrepreneurial initiatives are highly commendable. Her advice to plan and implement far in advance of need to invest in land and real estate back home is very, very, very wise (Of course everyone needs to do their own due diligence in matters of investments, particularly in land and real estate). Very astute lady! Thanks Mr, Chamwada

[@zaydenlennox7310]

A tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@collinsonyuka4639]

It's true. The host plays an important role. I thank God I got a good host and 5 years down the line, no regrets. Good work Alex Chamwada

[@jacklinemwati1950]

I agree,the person who host you in America can mess you up or be a blessing in your life.

[@thediplomat6165]

Not only in America but also any part of Diaspora.

[@bestfitoutfitters5184]

Reality at its best! #Facts 20 years and still remember where I came from. Lilly thanks for not sugar coating🥰. Great show @Chams

[@tklyte]

That's exactly where I started when I came to America. I didn't like my job at first but eventually loved it so much that I ended up becoming a manager and running the group home myself. I left 10 years later but I still miss the guys I worked with.

[@Chwamwada]

I am a so called African American and I am absolutely leaving the United States of America before the end of this decade. I am looking at both countries in West and East Africa.... I will be visiting a country in West Africa in 2022... and then a country in East Africa in 2023... I gave up on the United States of America a long time ago.

[@Cardos24]

Thanks. Amazingly amazing.

[@kariuki6644]

very relatable

[@DaviesMatep]

That’s the main reason why most immigrants mostly get into nursing because then you can work overtime with good pay. Imagine someone going to school 4 years for finance, and coming again to work in direct care cleaning old men and women?

[@millielyysh6831]

Finance pays very well in USA Kenyans r known for overworking finance alone can pay all bills

[@chulutv8621]

next time meet LILLY and tell her she is an inspiration to me.....such a strong WOMAN THERE!!!!!!!!

[@bellaolum9515]

If someone has a good job/career why go to America and start from the bottom? Just asking, maybe it is a silly question to some.

[@TheMrgoodmanners]

Tamaa ya ujinga. Older generation kenyans are quite primitive. They are still driven by those 90s images of the usa. Youll meet with former bank managers in kenya driving ubers in the usa

[@bellaolum9515]

@@TheMrgoodmanners Imagine, unless someone is really struggling to find work here in Kenya and maybe looking for greener pastures, wich are not that green btw. But the money you will use to buy a ticket, fly to USA then start life afresh, heri nitumie kuanza biashara ama ata forex trading hapa nyumbani

@@bellaolum9515 the more we inform people about it the better. The US really is for the type of people the statue of liberty mentions. Ni kwa yule hana chochote kabisa. The hustle there is 24/7. You get sick for one month and the next you'll be living under a bridge.

Sadly. Just look at all the homrless in their streets. it isnt for the faint hearted. Takes a hell of a lot of work and perserverance to make it there.

[@bintiyangu]

Exactly. Continentals wanting to go there, diasporans want to leave and start anew and build up Afrika. Not the SnaKKKes(States). Sincerely, A Black Ameleekan with Kenyan connex

[@lenag9812]

When people say they don't take credits from Kenya, they are just telling half the truth They do take the credits you just have to know how to maneuver in the system. They might not take all of them but they take credits. But it's a land where one has to hustle.

Travel and experience other people's cultures, it will blow your mind, even local travels if you can not make it abroad.

[@leotv8303]

How can i become a usa nurse or work in healthcare i have bcom degree

[@Taxpayerish]

Your bcom degree in America is as good as your Highschool education. You will have to start over. I mean go do the Nursing pre-requisites for Nursing then get admitted to a Nursing school. Good thing anybody can do it so long as you put in some work.

[@orchid2407]

If you have a passion for nursing them do it but if you are passionate about business then stick with that. Many people do nursing for money and they are the worst nurses ever.

[@mohameddubow2505]

Nowadays American health ministry, they refer to your country's accreditation body. In this case, Nursing Council of Kenya plays a very big role. they cross check your license back at home with your qualifications.
