[@Amina-mb8ip]

Baby girl is gorgeous and so brilliant! I send prayers, positive energy and all the best wishes on her journey in boarding school.

[@AshleyinAfrika]

Thank you so much!

[@Amina-mb8ip]

@MelanatedwithPower Yes, I absolutely love her hair and she is a very beautiful girl. Black people are beautiful in all shades and with all of our range in features. Ashley and her baby girls are beauties indeed. ❤️🖤💚

[@MINERVAYABA]

Good Luck, Darling. I know you will do well! Very well. Be happy and balance study and play.

[@sistaluv1357]

I wish you all the best in your new chapter of life. You will be successful for sure. Your mom taught you well. I send blessings to you and your family.

[@thekailavibes]

She is so beautiful and wise beyond her years!! I am wishing her the most amazing 1st year at boarding school!

[@R1M1r1m1]

My sis went to boarding school in Jamaica back in the late 80's and she loved it. I can't wait to hear about Zhaeniya's experiences when she comes home for break. I'm so excited for her!

[@journeytothemosthigh5021]

This decision was a brave one indeed! When I was young, I too wanted to go to boarding school. When I became a mother, I realized that I couldn’t make that decision for my children, (5). This is our time now with our children. Most of their lives they will be adults and moved away and building their own lives. Right now is my gift. Kudos to you, I know that it can’t be easy. Best wishes for a positive and successful experiences!😊

[@AmandaJuma-n3k]

Asante sana dada i always love what you doing as a Tanzanian karibuni sana many of our brothers and sisters must come we re welcome you

So happy for you, Z! You remind me so much of my daughter (16 Y.O.). Peace and blessings on your journey to boarding school! And kudos to you mom for bringing this to fruition 🙏🏾

[@BongoZaidi]

This is wonderful. Seems she is naturally aligned with Tanzania. I also went to boarding school and learnt a sense of independence very early almost the same age of 13. She is already independent by what have observed. I think it will also build her more and define her more unique character by the whole experience of being away from family. All the best to her

[@joannaschristianscorner1270]

I’m a newbie 👋🏾

[@AshleyinAfrika]

Welcome!

[@AlisonAllisontalks]

No, leaving my daughter never that young . Only when they become adults.

[@LawWithEulenda]

[@soulfullyroyalnita]

Very beautiful daughter! All the best on your amazing journey!

[@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c]

South African schools are shallow and have lost the culture. Very materialistic. I hope Tanzania will be better for your child.

[@yvie9627]

Good luck Z, you’ll do great 🙏🏿👏🏾

[@AshleyinAfrika]

😭😭

[@lantonymacon4762]

You make me Wana move out of America any tips I don't even know where to start

[@ZillahZwane-bc1rz]

I'm South African and I'll be doing research on how to immigrate to Tanzania. South Africa feels to hard and feels like it's hindering me in seeking true beauty in life. Things feel so artificial here. I desire authenticity and I can't seem to find it here and I'm born South African

[@BongoZaidi]

Karibu sana Tanzania. For info and any help on this, will be glad to assist

[@SamkeVilana]

I hope her choozing TZ either than S.A is not due to any bullying. S.A kids can be mean and intimidating I hope she didnt experience anything bad for her to choose to school in Tanzania

[@ShilohMarley]

Aaaw Z😢

[@Jojoeyjo]

Your daughter seems sad please pray about it.

[@MizzC888]

Teen doesn't seem happy about something. Could it be boarding school?

[@AshleyinAfrika]

Are you raising a teenager in this generation??

[@MizzC888]

@@AshleyinAfrika No. And if I was Im pretty sure I would keep them close.

[@susieq1694]

Ashley your daughter is extremely mature and as a mother who raised teens and surrounded by teens of this generation they don't all share the same emotional traits....she may be a bit more reserved or even shy....I can tell she is well adjusted ....keep up the good work and best wishes on school and all future endeavors.

[@Lztop]

Where your kid's father thats the most important question.

[@imhotep1613]

I hope you won't get offended by my question : I she your biological daughter?
