@nomorebs6025. I don’t even understand what your saying taken on a plane not ship? What? We are black Americans who NEVER knew anything or ever been to Africa until we came! Not sure what “not a true black American” means👀 but maybe you have no clue on what a black American woman is, well you just met one in this interview. Say less about what you DON’T KNOW. ✌🏾

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Great job, Heyford. I could listen to Marissa all day - what a smart, beautiful, accomplished sister. Her perspective is very important to hear - she was not looking for refuge. She was not running FROM America. She was running TO Ghana, TO entrepreneurship, TO networking and development. I am a Caribbean-American girl, so I love that she has Caribbean roots in Jamaica. What she said is true - most Caribbean people tell me Ghana, Zambia, The Gambia all look and feel like home to Caribbean people.

What I learnt from this interview is that in order to succeed you have to be determined and not run back to the States when trials come, but see the trials as a learning curve

Absolutely

[@sonjaanderson6933]

Her story is not everyone story, she was birthed into money, went to the best colleges in a America, she had money, many people will see this and think they can just pack up and go to Africa, just to get there and suffer.

Hello my brother watching you from America really enjoyed your interview. Thank you for sharing.

[@Deeplyrooted73]

The mother land can't have its cake and eat it too. If we are reluctant to speak on our experiences without taking offense, nothing will improve. Thank GOD for this Queen speaking the truth. I'm tired of KZbinrs who only show the progress minus the struggle. No one thinks twice when the COLONIZING muzungus buy up all of the realestate. Self-hate is just as much a construct in Africa as it is in BABYLON. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇲🇫 WELCOME these diasporans and share the knowledge. All will benefit.

[@py20]

The "self hate" is evident in every Black community around the globe; there are no exceptions. We have a crab mentality. We pull each other down. We look at life as a zero sum game that sees someone's success as the other's loss. We allow our differences to divide us. Some of us have a superiority complex that easily turn us into our own version of the colonizer. I could go on and on but you get my drift. I'm glad that gradually, things are shifting in a positive direction. Hopefully this shift continues. But make no mistake -- wherever we have Black people, whether in America or Africa, we have unhealthy competition and self-sabotage, and the onus is on us to acknowledge this and proactively work to liberate ourselves, starting with our broken mindset.
