[@MsKismetNoRegrets]

What a strong woman! This is what it takes to get to where you want to be; resilience ❤️

[@RheaM]

I needed to see this right now. My sister and I are having it rough here in New York and we needed to hear first hand experience from someone else. This helped me so much. 💕

[@gigstack4436]

AverageDoll I lived in Texas 3 Times and can tell you a lot about it

[@aaaaaa8152]

GigStack between Dallas and Florida and why?

[@stellah2459]

Omggg! I needed to see this man! I just moved to Dallas from MD and it’s not easy, but I was blessed to have friends take me in as I get life together. I had to make a move quick to leave my friends because friendships start drifting

[@Miick3y]

She's a great story teller! Enjoyed it

[@lanairyn]

Right😭

[@danielleporter1829]

You two are hilarious. I thought of moving to Dallas from So Cal in 2017, but wasn't ready, going through a hard after losing my mom. Still thinking about moving sometime down the road in the next few years. I love Dallas, fell in love with after going there on vacation in April of 2017 for the first time to visit family friends, subsequently have visited a total of four times including last July. Watching your video gives me encouragement to work toward making the move.

[@1LoDeezydotcom]

I shed a tear at the Best Buy phone call part. Ive been there. I felt that.

[@Mamadco]

Wow, that's a story to tell your grandchildren one day, new adventures makes you wiser, i totally encourage new experiences and so. Good luck.

[@Mamadco]

Btw, you spent like 40 sec. talking about food at the end, thats like make me really wanna get a taste of it one day.

[@britneynicole96]

So glad I seen this video, I just started to plan my move to California and I’m so nervous but this really helped

[@ss-tl1ic]

Yo I glad the vehicle got you to Texas safely! You had angels protecting you!

[@lakeithia7]

I love this. I'm from Michigan and I moved to texas, now I reside in Seattle! You girls are brave. ❤️

[@donjuan914]

Lakeithia Sakin Why did u leave TX and do you like Seattle?

[@nataneeel]

I love Sudanese people they're so friendly : )

[@MegaBOXER42]

Two beautiful women. You girls inspire me to make that move. I'm from Ohio and relocated to North Carolina. It's been cool but, Dallas and Houston have been on my radar for years now. I plan to visit Dallas in May and if it's where GOD leads me I shall follow. Keep smiling beautiful women....

[@bigdaddymorrow]

Great story guys! You've had me laughing, and sympathizing for you the whole video! Please definitely continue with this type of content! Glad you didn't give up! Life is full of challenges. Perseverance pays off!! Congratulations ladies! 😊 👏👏👏

[@LifeofDre]

Thank you so much for keeping it real in this one. This gives me a boost to make that move soon. Good job and blessing to y’all! 💯

[@kjb9088]

Love your sisters spirit! Never give up! Never give in! My kind of woman.

[@traceytracey1]

Kudos Amena. That story was harrowing. I am originally from a small town in Ohio and I moved to DC to get a good job and raise my daughter. That was when I was 19 and fearless. Now, I got 2 decades+some on 19 but I'm moving to Dallas in January to start over. Thanks for posting. I have a Saturn Vue and I feel the same way about my truck as you did your Forerunner (RIP). So because of your video, I'm going to ship my car and fly there.

[@honeyBTV]

I'm movong to TX mext week... you guys should have a meet and greet!!! I'm also from Michigan.. Detroit.. would love to do some meet ups once I get there.

[@bdWiser]

You are so brave to drive on your own.

[@solomontilahun3822]

I really enjoyed listening to you, you have very excellent explaining skill, since I saw you your first video I haven't stopped watching and listening to your video.

[@seblet1153]

[@selmaa812]

More videos with your sister please...she is HILARIOUS! talking about that June bug hitting you back...I was on the floor...lol...Gosh you guys are gorgeous....

[@AmenaandElias]

Selma Ali LOL! 😂 She always has me cracking up! Thank you Selma 💕💕

[@feedah5234]

OMG your sister is hilarious! This video was so entertaining. Sudanese sister up North (Canada) and yeah the struggle is real, I could write a book about all the crap we went through but it all worked out in the end. I remember when we were moving and there were no movers available, my brother had to drive a big ass haul truck and we moved everything ourself. To make matters worse, the elevator stopped working halfway so we had to carry furniture up 4 flights of stairs!

[@nevermore464]

I'm soo glad you're making videos again.😁❤

[@Inlove10409]

You guys are hilarious!! Thank you for sharing, My family and I planning on moving Dallas soon! 💕💕

[@donnahill5050]

You moved to texas about the same time I left Texas. Now im moving back to Texas. I left because I was there alone felt that I missed my family. I absolutely missed Texas and regreted ever leaving. I pray God gives me the opportunity to buy a home again and find a job and live my dream again. Thanks for you video. Im putting one foot in front of the other and God to guide me.

[@shadesofvintageblue]

This vlog has me laughing out loud at work. So happy you guys made it safely to Dallas

[@deyonishinton8321]

Thanks for the information! I will be relocating to DFW from Michigan (Saginaw to be exact) by the end of summer. This really encouraged me!

[@KrystleGourjuss]

Yes this was a good and funny video. It’s like that here in my hometown here in Florida. Only a few leave and never look back. The rest of us has moved back 🤣 me and my husband looking to moving in the next few years. This time if we leave, we definitely not looking back this time. So glad you were determined girl 🙌🏾💯

[@RioMonte857]

You two are so cute! Love the sisterly bond. Listening to your moving story , I would like to conclude my comment by saying "you have done some pretty tough or even brave things and I'm sure it has made you strong as a woman and a person as well". Keep up with your upbeat attitude.

[@fana8907]

You guys should do more sister vids or just vids together in general. I loved this lol so funny and a lot of life gems

[@dvanishiaalford300]

OMG.... I love y'all... Thanks for the story!!!!

[@JMarie0921]

Does your sister have a channel? She is so funny. The part about the roaches 😂😂😂😂

[@Gkourouma]

You guys are hilarious omg first time commenting on a video cause I just had too! I never watch story times but I’m glad I found this video cause u guys are awesome 👏🤣

[@hawakourouma6603]

Gnale Kourouma can’t wait for you to love here sis!

[@ranibanks2690]

OMG thank you so much for this video. I will be moving to Dallas in a month and everything I was afraid of happened to you 2 lol... but you make it and now I feel like I can make it too.

[@ShavonneRitchie]

Ya'll are too funny. Welcome to Dallas and I hope you both have had an amazing stay so far 😊

[@fatimafisher]

Thanks for making this video, loved it!! Sorry you had so many struggles in the beginning but you made it!! Glad you can look back and laugh at all of it

[@umbreonix]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I live in Little Rock (ironically) and the opportunity for growth isnt here. The cost of living here is really low but that is negated by the low pay rates in the area. I currently make $14/hr whereas in the DFW area I would be making $22/hr doing the same thing. Yeah I'm definitely moving soon! Thanks for the confirmation ladies!

[@cushmessiah1676]

I love you my sisters......From mother land

[@AmenaandElias]

[@nyeusiutawala9639]

My sister moved to Dallas by herself also......I believe it was the same year, if my memory is correct.

[@MrSollex1]

[@Emebet24]

Your sister is hilarious 🤣🤣 she is such a G with a great story teller!! I’m only halfway watching the video and I couldn’t stop laughing. I couldn’t help but to pause and comment. I ain’t going to lie but I teared up when the dude told her to keep her head up and that God won’t put anything in front of you that you won’t overcome 😢😢 That is so true. Ok I’m go back and finish the video now lol

[@bilanali7903]

You guys are so cute. Really enjoyed this story time 😂

Yeah Iam from Arkansas pine bluff but I moved from there at the age of 14 that state is wicked in evil the capital is Little Rock where thay have the satanic statue that some people there worship in yeah it's very hard leaving there in moving somewhere else but for me in my family we got out of that state by the grace of god we live in New York

[@silmsadie]

You guys are lucky you can move from a cold state to a warmer one. Living in Canada you move from one cold state to an even colder one. Count your blessings...

[@ukkb7699]
