Francine you are amazing and courageous. I'm glad that you are in Aden rather than Sana'a. Stay safe
Refreshing interview! Congratulations, Francine for your tenacity. You are most certainly a full representation of our jamaica. Best wishes to your future nuptials. Keep smiling!
Everytime I watch an episode, I think I will never watch another one that could impress me more, but was I wrong. Francine, I am truly thankful to have watched this interview and learned so much about your Yemen associates. God bless with your upcoming nuptials and keep being safe, sis. Thanks again Xavier. 👏🏾👏🏾
Awwww thank you Lorna
Your welcome 😁
Sorry wrong (you're) 😉
We have Jamaican Yemeni and Lebanese descent back home longtime
A brave woman with a beautiful personality. Keep smiling Francine you've done Jamaica proud 😊😘🇯🇲🇺🇲
Thank you Verna
Honestly, I am so proud of all of you Jamaicans :) I love watching every single one of your episodes because it makes me so proud to see all of you succeeding and showing the world that US visible minorities (including myself) are JUST as intelligent as the entire world. As a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf, I often see people assuming I am ignorant just because of my appearance. Unfortunately, the media doesn't portray any good for certain religious/ethnic groups. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you all to KEEP SHINING!!
Beautiful Francine with your gorgeous smile it's a blessing just listening to your story your personality is off the chain nuff blessings to you in All future endeavors my sister.
Great job Francine . You are a very brave and courageous lady . All the best in your endeavours. Xavier you are the boss! Thank you so much for bringing us to other parts of the world , without moving . More blessings to my brother.
As a Jamaican i never been to Yemen. But i have some family link to South Yemen by way and Indian spice trade. Yes i love my Mandi and Yemeni people. Good coffee and honey there old culture. Bless my sister your in the heartland of Arabia.
Love your program been watching it for a minute , it's funny how I was telling my coworker from yemen about your podcast, interviewing Jamaicans around the and now seeing with a Jamaican in yemen, got some tips will be sharing with, continue the good work respect 🙏 !!
Great interview with her and great smile

ANOTHER REFRESHING INTERVIEW, CONGRATULATIONS OUR JAMAICAN SISTER 👏
Thank you so much Diana
wonderful interview, with this courageous and resilient lady
Thank you for your very kind comments 😍
I learned much about Yemen during this interview; Francine sounds like she really likes the country & it’s people. Stay positive Francine you are to be admired. Noel Hylton is a relative proud he was a positive force in your life. Keep on keeping on my dear .
Great to hear this. Mr. Hylton was a kind soul. He was very strategic and a shrewd man.
Wow. My first impression is that she an amazing and brave woman. Brave for real. Great interview
Thank you Sandra
She's lovely.and very courageous to take that job. I've heard Yemen is one of the most fertile countries in the area so when she spoke about the food I wasn't surprised. Yemen in Arabic is Yaman that's why our Jamaican yah man would sound like that to them. It's a country with rich cultural heritage. Such a pity about the civil war.
Lady you have me eating all these fruits without eating them. Thanks for sharing Yemen with us. Thank you once more Xavier for making all this possible.
A wonderful Interview Francine; full of inspiration, compassion and humanity. You are indeed blessed.
Xavier the interviews are getting better and better, this was one of the best interviews you have done thus far. What a beautiful lady with an equally beautiful spirit. She is poised and confident and has totally imersed herself into culture and the people of 🇾🇪 . I love her story....
watching and was waiting for the Ye Man/Yemen comment.. appreciate the fresh narrative/perspective as opposed to that which is usually exposed by the mainstream media. Great guest blessup Xavier and Francine ya man
Thank you Dayne ❤
Awesome interview
Thank you Illene
I love her spirit and honesty. Im of Yemeni heritage and love the Jamaican people. My family and I have vacationed a few times in Negril and Ocho Rios. Inshallah one day, Francine and her family can visit Sanaa, Yemen when my wife and I retire from the grind in America…
Awesome Frano. To GOD be the glory. 👏 👏 👏
Thank you WJ for your continued support. Much love and blessings

Lovely interview Francine always deliver keep up the good work 🇯🇲
Thank you Sharon
Great interview. Need a part 2.
Thank you
Yemen people are really nice. Had a student at Coventry University, who I supervised at last minute to get through his final year project. He surprised me with an expensive gift and no matter how I refused it, he wasn't taking no for an answer. Here in Swansea I had another Yemen student, OMD, overly nice. Francine is so correct.
I would love to visit there.
They are indeed nice people
This is a really nice interview ❤ big up both of them for their efforts
Thats so nice from noting to something
Thank you Ruby
Wonderful interview!
Thank you so very much. By the way the Yemenis named me Amal which means HOPE
Just finish watching this video. I want to visit the heart of Yemen with a guide. But also want to visit Sacortra
Their culture seems very Jamaican. We don't like for people to give us anything or feeling sorry for us. Also, it's deemed an insult to refuse someone’s food that they offer you.
Congrats Ms. Francine.
This was inspiring. All the best on your upcoming nuptials.
Thank you Cecelia
From Trinidad definitely considering moving to Yemen to seek Islamic studies but this Sounds like I won’t want to leave
Continue being the diamond that you are, always shining bright and being the change of agent.
Thanks Rosie. Appreciate your continued support
Yemen is acutaly refers to tribe of benjamin actually pronounced ben yamin means the sons of yemen. Also seera castle in adenwas named after on of the sons of manelek from the lineageof solomon. Yemn is also the origne land of Hebrews and semites. Its the home of many ntions and welcomes everyone home. The prophet Mohamed also said the best of men are the men of yemen. An they ar also mentioned in the quran by god explaining they are a people whom he loves and they love him. And he also reffered to them as the victory of god
Beautiful...
Lol mi like Francine, shi lively.
Yemen is where many of our ancestors are from.. so Yemen should feel like home...
It does feel like home, we are surrounded by the sea so it has the Jamaican feel
Big up uself Francine!!!
Ah yuh next Diane, thanks my dearest.
@@francinestaple7192 no mi dear. You are the embodiment of simply this. One's beginning does not determine lack or abundance on the journey called life. Rather it is one's resilience, persistence, fortitude & the belief that quitting is not an option, ultimately, can determine one's outcome. Your story is to be told as you continue to soar. I acknowledge & give recognition publicly as it is due 😊.
Kenya deh pon mi bucket list.
I wonder if I’m able to get in contact with this lady. I’ve wanted to travel to Yemen for years but I’m not Muslim so I’m wondering if it’s safe for me to
You need to visit the nearest Yemeni Consulate or Embassy for information. If you are in the USA, the Consulate is in Washington and consular services opens at 1pm
@@francinestaple7192 thank you so much
🇯🇲
How does she attend church? I don't imagine there are many churches there.
It must be a very painful situation to live in Yemen under the attacks by Saudi Arabia.
Isn't there a war in Yemen?
Yes and there exist ceasefire arrangements, however, a war doesn't preclude one from working in the environment. We cannot allow the Yemenis to suffer
I'm going to be real in our ppl leave and go to some place in this world.i have to think hard.bec ppl coming to jamaica.and we running from our little Rock WOW
This is a great interview, Francine. Continue to soar. Love you lots
Thank you for your comment Otis, however, working overseas doesn't mean we are running away from our rock. A lot of us including myself have assets there so we are still contributing to the economy through our tax dollars and remittances. Stay blessed.
Another great interview
Thank you Theresa
