You forgot: Don't come to America thinking it's the promise land. 2. Racism is real. 3. Don't hate on your own people. 5. Research the laws; research the economics; research the societal norms before coming to America, make sure to have solid connections while still in Africa. 6. Most of all, ask God if it is His will for you to come in the first place. 7. Stop worshipping white people as if they are gods. There is good & bad among all people 8. Ask for help when you need it. 9. Stop judging the African Americans (descendants of Africa's children), because we are always told we are black & non human in the eyes of the Colonizers.

She is under 30 and had already gone through all these in life, so her major problem was traveling to America at a tender age, many that went there at a young age also ended up like this because they were so young and had no one to care for them and direct them towards the right direction, and many men will see it as an opportunity to take advantage of them, but thanks be to God that she is alive and when there is life, there is always hope. This is a big lesson to you parents that want to send your young one to America to go and study, allow your kids to finish university in Africa and then they can go abroad to do their Masters Degree when they are already matured and cannot be easily deceived by anyone that wants to lead them towards a wrong direction.

[@memyself5412]

And that is why I am sad when I see African women advocating that our mothers should leave like western women. African women are some of the most hardworking on earth. They are strong. They are the backbone of our society. In most of our towns and villages in Yorubaland, the women form thrift cooperative societies where they contribute money and support each other's businesses. I saw a 2018 Brooking Institution report that indicated an average working adult in the US will have to borrow if they have a $400 emergency. But I can tell you an average market woman in Mile 12, Lagos Nigeria or Bodija, Ibadan (also in Nigeria) can COMFORTABLY afford that. Let's learn to be original and appreciate our heritage.

[@danielotieno3525]

Thank you Mercy for being candid. I truly empathize with your adverse experience in the US. For dreamers, my advice is first to find a mature relative or friend who lives in the diaspora before you get there. These will provide the needed mentoring for the young scholar. And when you get here, listen, focus and be resilient. What I have observed over the years living in the US, is that students who come here as freshmen, find it harder to adjust compared to those that come here to pursue graduate education. I think it is because graduate students are more likely to be experienced, mature and wiser. What is more, graduate students are more likely to get a scholarship or job as teaching/research assistants (TAs/RAs) at the universities. Therefore, unless you have resources to finance your education as a freshman in North America or Europe, my counsel is that you should postpone your coming until you have earned a baccalaureate in your country of origin. When you get here, find where your people are, and link with them; Don’t isolate yourself. You will do better that way. Mercy, we serve a personal God who hears our prayers. When we speak with a believing heart, he hears; And before we call, he answers. Sometimes, God uses adversity to strengthen us. I know things will get better for you. Please keep the faith!

Dear beautiful african queen thank you for sharing your life joinery in America with us yes the believe and understanding of every african child about America is exactly what you had imagined what life will be like in America when you left Kenya. Thank you so much this was upselutely an eye opener for most of us who are so eager to go abroad apparently "better our lives". You could have died through all that hardship but God had a plan for you to come back and give us your fellow african brothers and sisters about the real life abroad much appreciated my god bless you sis.

Thank you Mercy for being candid. I truly empathize with your adverse experience in the US. For dreamers, my advice is first to find a mature relative or friend who lives in the diaspora before you get there. These will provide the needed mentoring for the young scholar. And when you get here, listen, focus and be resilient. What I have observed over the years living in the US, is that students who come here as freshmen, find it harder to adjust compared to those that come here to pursue graduate education. I think it is because graduate students are more likely to be experienced, mature and wiser. What is more, graduate students are more likely to get a scholarship or job as teaching/research assistants (TAs/RAs) at the universities. Therefore, unless you have resources to finance your education as a freshman in North America or Europe, my counsel is that you should postpone your coming until you have earned a baccalaureate in your country of origin. When you get here, find where your people are, and link with them; Don’t isolate yourself. You will do better that way. Mercy, we serve a personal God who hears our prayers. When we speak with a believing heart, he hears; And before we call, he answers. Sometimes, God uses adversity to strengthen us. I know things will get better for you. Please keep the faith!

Some Kenyans do not want to associate themselves with you especially if you mention you haven’t been here for long. I have personally gone through that myself I believe if someone has a helping sincere heart they will help or just guide. There’s times when all you need is direction not just financial help.

[@lenahbrighton5472]

May God Bless Her. Quite a story. She has quite a spirit. I know it's not easy in Africa if you don't come from a well off family. However, if you have a bit of funds to start something, you are better off there in Africa. Racism/injustice is rife abroad. It is soul destroying. It is life destroying, traumatic and not something to joke about. Why trade freedom if you can set up something small and have a normal life in a peaceful environment? You can go to experience and settle where you don't question the colour of your skin. Life abroad is not what it looks in the movies.

[@edelkinuthia3615]

Just my two cents after watching Mercy's experience: - For those who would love to relocate- It is important for one to do a lot of RESEARCH before you relocate abroad. - Second to this: KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING. You can pursue everything else you want after you have fullfiled your visa conditions. Otherwise, you will be in breach real quick. Even international students who have had to bypass the law to pay the outrageous fees...stay in school at all costs - well, most of them at least. - Thirdly it is important to CHECK YOUR EXPECTATIONS. It is important to take full accountability for yourself. Act as if everyone who can support you is dead and work with that mindset, because even people of goodwill will only go so far with the help. - ESTABLISH YOURSELF FIRST, settle or stabilize before you can extend help to those back at home. Eg during a plane emergency, you will need to wear an oxygen mask first, before you can help your own child or others. People back at home have survived thus far, a little while longer will not mean their demise. Make it clear and put boundaries- otherwise you may end up stressed, have mental health issues or be pulled in so many different directions to sustain these demands. - KEEP YOUR FRIENSHIP CIRLES CLOSE as well. Too many acquaintances can lead you down different paths. Align yourself with people who will help you cross the bridge and build yourself first. - GROW SLOW AND STEADY- people who have what you want or are where you want to be, have travelled a long way before you; you have just met them in their season of success and abundance. - WHEN YOU MAKE MISTAKES, LEARN THE LESSON QUICKLY AND RECALCULATE. When your abroad, going back to the same thing may not only cost you time and resources, it can affect your status too. - Always TAKE OWNERSHIP of your role in every decision, circumstance or action that involves you...this is the only way to learn and know how or what to do better. - Finally, ATTITUDE is key. Just like Kenny Rogers says; you got to know when to hold up, know when to walk away and know when to run. You will face hardships, micro- aggressions, overt racism among many other things but not always. That said, you need to use a lot of discretionary wisdom to not always respond or get into the habit of reactionary responses. Always remember, you will never have the comfort of being above the law or leniency extended to residents or citizens. Therefore keep your wits about you. All the best Mercy in your new journey
