Be consistent with your kenyan content on YT. Your channel will grow tremendously. Kenyans really appreciate content creators who showcase their contry. Trust me!! 😅

[@AmazingMania]

That never works today..... people like you made it appear like it is automatic... nowadays mentioning Kenya is not enough....go deeper and create content not showing Nairobi out of all other things in the country

[@YaraMelAround]

Thank you. I'll try my best!! Kenyans are a great audience 😄

[@YaraMelAround]

@@AmazingMania Interesting take. Many videos kind of 'misuse' Kenya on the title, just for views. That's not my goal. What do you think would be interesting, besides Nairobi? I find the wildlife videos quite boring and repetitive...just animals 😅The coast is nice and I hope to film there too.

One thing I've noticed is we Kenyans can be so critical of Kenya and sometimes it can build a negative attitude towards our country. Having been living out of the country for over 25yrs it gives you a new perspective and appreciation for home but we do understand it could be better. I cherish the simple things like community because raising children in a foreign land is not easy leave alone surviving even by your own self.

[@YaraMelAround]

Very true. Sometimes, only after we leave, we can appreciate what we have home!
