I was in Dublin in August. In general, the people were friendly and kind. I met an African expat taxi driver there who said he would never move to the U.S. because he’s afraid of gun violence. He said that if a single child in Ireland died from gun violence the government would immediately pass a law to stop that. He said he was very happy living in Dublin.
The experience of someone whose African is not the experience of someone whose Black. Stop conflating the two - you need to listen to how the biracial Black & 2nd gen immigrants who were actually born in Ireland feel about the place because they have the lived experience of experiencing Irish society from top to bottom. You're going to get a very different result. Also Ireland has a mad issue with young people leaving as soon as they can & brain drain since kids have no future here - its completely normalized for every young person you know to move to Australia or the UK. They cant afford homes, there is a stagnation of jobs & frankly the culture, while comforting at times, is deeply stifling. There's something wrong when Irish kids feel like they have to leave the country to have a quality of life where they can be themselves. Ireland also has a "just sweep it under the rug" culture. People don't talk about problems in the community here. There's a big reason why a very famous serial rapist who was accused of murder (and acquitted) moved to Ireland & said "Here people don't bother me". Also the level of child sex abuse that is swept under the rug with people whispering about "(insert name) down the way has some odd interests". Nobody reports them, nobody makes sure they arent grooming more victims - they just choose to ignore it & gossip. Right up until the person dies & then immediately canonize him as "HE WAS JUST THE BEST GUY AROUND OH CHRIST THE SADNESS IS OVERTAKING ME".
I agree 100% with Stephanie’s assessment of Ireland. I went a few years back with a chip on my shoulder expecting the Irish in Ireland to act like those in the USA. To my shock, the Irish is Ireland were SOOOOOOO nice to me. Everywhere I went they were so nice. I was given free things, special service, and lovely conversations!!! Can’t wait to return - and I am an African American female.
@@AlexandriaV I am not conflating anything and I don’t appreciate being attacked for reporting my experience while in the country. Whatever it is you’re angry about please find someone else to take it out on. We all have different experiences based on who we interact with in any place.
@AlexandriaV thanks I appreciate your perspective, but you do realize your tone on the goddess above was a bit rude. Let's do better and treat one another with more care. You seem upset that people are blind by the horrors in your place. Thanks for opening our eyes to another side. It may be difficult for her to hear you when she felt attacked. Be well love! I trust my intentions will be received with the best of you. What is from the heart reaches the heart. May we all give more of our ❤ to bring more light to annihilate some of this darkness that is spreading.
@@JackieBenjamin-n3t It's amazing how the moment you actually had to interact with someone who grew up Black in Ireland who points out how your single conversation with a migrant isn't accurate to the native Black experience in Ireland *or* speaking on the lack of hope for opportunity facing Irish youth - you have the gall to claim you were attacked. Maybe don't hop on the internet & announce your anecdote of visiting a place you went on *vacation* one time & then get upset when someone whose actually from the place tells you what it's actually like being from here while Black culture *or* getting upset someone explained to you the reality young people are facing by leaving this country in droves. Yes, everybody's nice in Ireland *to foreigners* because the Irish culture's expectation of conduct is to nice to foreigners & passive aggressiveness is the lingua franca because that's Irish society as a standard - don't cause a fuss.
I agree. There was a shift yesterday and I can feel it today. A Black woman held the door for me on the elevator and said "I love you" and I said it back to her. We're greeting each other and I see many sisters posting on social media about burning the cape. I'm seeing White people about how great Black women are which let's me know that they are FEELING and seeing us pull away from them. It's happening and I'm so proud of my sisters.
Um, I think white ppl been feeling that way for years, from 2016 and on particularly lol I don’t think it’s sudden at all. This ain’t the first time Donald’s been elected.
🎉😢 When immigrants come to America they are not only warned, but they see how white people give each other privilege, how crazy😵💫patriotic they are, how the media portrays Black people, how Black people mistreat each other, the vulgar rap music, and especially, how Black people mistreat their own children🙇🏾♂️🙇🏽♀️! So they want to have the good life. Not the struggle life. When I say black, I mean the collective. They don’t know about our history and even though slavery and its effects are a part of our history, it doesn’t mean we should continue to treat each other as if we are self hating slaves on a plantation. Many blk folk dislike moral, classy, educated black persons, calling us bourgeois. This must end! We need to be better as a culture of people for the sake of ourselves. Not for acceptance by any other tribe of peoples. We need to change the negatives of our culture for our future generations. They’re currently being primed 😵💫🎶for the new prison plantations 😢
I’m from Zacatecas Mexico and we do have a class structure. The indigenous are treated bad but it’s changing we voted for our first women President and she is adding indigenous to her cabinet
We need to stop thinking that other minorities move or think the way "we" do. They vote for their own best interests as we should. Let those folk be, and take care of you and yours. 🤷🏾♀️
Got my new passport and was going to Thailand but now considering Ecuador because of easy residency requirements. I’m tired of being exhausted for just existing in a black woman’s body.
There is racism everywhere. Just want us to keep that in mind. No corner of the world is untouched by colonialism / yt supremacy. The US is a unique place as we know w its own unique trauma and other places may not be AS bad but just know its everywhere. I do believe however that there are more peaceful places for Blk folks or BW specifically
@@elfrazier I'm talking about the video, you assume that I was talking directly to Laurieebo6638. I mention Latinos because that's what the subject of the video.
I’m not sure where I’m moving to, but I’m moving. I’m currently a Nurse from Georgia, but I’m working in California. I live with a Mexican family in California. They are the nicest people, and they don’t like Trump. However, they are upset too. They said that they have Mexican family and friends that voted for Trump even though they were begging them not to. So, I understand that immigrants are different. We really can’t put them all in the same bowl.

Very true, Stephanie. I live in Texas and the latino immigrants learn super fast that to get ahead is to align with White America, fast. Why come from a struggle to move to a struggle? I get it.
I will be in Mexico before the inauguration. I'm positive I'm in the enemies list. I've been fighting white supremacy for decades, and my fellow Americans just gave all power to a white supremacist. Sending love and solidarity from northeast Texas! 💙💙💙💙💙
I currently live in Mexico. There is nothing amazing about it, and the people are just regular people. Black women aren't going to escape racism, colorism or sexism here. It's an okay place to live, but don't expect utopia. What you can expect are frequent cutoffs of water and electricity, depending on where you live. Don't believe the hype, because if you do, you will be disappointed. Visit for six months before relocating to Mexico, because more than likely, the community you seek will not be found here.
I would have to agree. Visited La Paz, San Jose del Cabo and Mexico City. Visited for a bit and stayed away from tourist areas. Nothing soul stirring, I've felt more at home in other parts of the world. Everyone should visit, research and figure it out for themselves. Don't come to a conclusion based on what others say.
I've been here 5yrs. 100% totally different experience for me and my kids. However, I want to acknowledge your experience and hope you have found or will find a location that aligns with your needs/desires.
Yes, they have British influence there and colorism is typical in most black nations but overall they are nice or they will leave you alone. The important thing is, it is safe, stable and your money goes further than the US. I am from Canada and even though we are known for being friendly, you will still find some bad apples here too. I find most Bajan people to be very friendly and helpful.
The Pew Research Center survey replicated the Census Bureau's format, asking about race separately from Hispanic ethnicity. Asked about their race in this way, more than half of Hispanics in the survey identified their race as White (58%), with the next largest share selecting the "some other race" category (27%) Maybe we should've never looked at them as allies when they don't even see themselves as black or brown ?!
It’s because some of them are from SPAIN directly. We learn this in world history class… not all Hispanic people are mestizo or blk or indigenous. Search up the colonial history of Latin America and Brazil (the Portuguese) and the casta system

I’m a golden Baby Boomer who got my first passport stamp March 2023. It was CR. For me, it was a bitter sweet experience bc I was with husband. It’s #1 (and still only one) as I have not yet actually started a “list”. I’m transitioning to divorce. When that’s final, I will focus on ex-pat life.
@ when you are ready get your list ready. I used Airfordable app to like reserve my ticket and pay on it over time. Very helpful being that I’m on a fixed income. I hope you have many more stamps in your passport and cherishing memories.
I'm so glad that you made this video. Years ago, I was a student in Mexico City and I loved it!! The people were wonderful and the city was amazing. For the past 17 years, I've lived in Phoenix AZ and most of my neighbors are of Mexican descent. The ones who haven't been here long, are visiting from Mexico and those that speak very little English are the nicest people. Mexican Americans in Phoenix? Hostile, rude, imposing and racist. Yes, there is a difference.
I've seen it first hand with Puerto Ricans. They turn on their own once they are in the United States. The negative energy in the United States leads to many wild behaviors.
I normally chill and respect the space but want to add something for those considering Argentina. This sister is correct! Argentinians consider themselves to be Spanish adjacent. They pay the Spanish to move there and validate them. They also ask their people to marry the Black Argentinians. Not because they like them but to breed out the Black population. Just food for thought, post war N*zi officers moved straight to Argentina after the war. That's why some Argentinians speak German. Definitely be safe if visiting there. I hope that BW live well and find the safe spaces out there. Merida, PVR, Belize(San Pedro/Caye Caulker very easy visa), Nice FR, and Thailand have been welcoming to us and my female relatives. Safe travels.
We do had that but we also had an enormous influx of post war poor Europeans immigrants, included a very big Jewish community. In our favor I’d say everybody f*ck everybody so a big part of the pop is really mixed like my family. I do not think BW will feel any kind of discrimination there if you do try to assimilate and learn the culture but it is not an easy country to live even for Argentinians, the economy situation is nothing like you ever lived in America, most people are just worry about the next meal and how to pay the bills than the color of your skin, you have to be aware of that. My advice is learn to drink Mate and you will have an extra advantage, being real here. Btw we vote for Kamala and I’m absolutely furious with my community. Take care ❤
@@FTYC2022 it is a drink we share, like a tea we drink from a dry gourd, you can search Yerba mate, Argentina mate 🧉. It is an acquired taste because is bitter if you drink it without sugar but has the benefit of being healthier than coffee, it is also stimulant and diuretic to the beginner so be careful 😬. I also recommend you look into Uruguay, very small country but more stable and with a more mix pop of Black people or mulatos, same with Brazil. Highly recommend that don’t even try to understand politics over there because it is almost impossible, find the people that accept, care and love you and enjoy the culture.
I joined this group a while ago because I love how solution oriented the group is. I’m a textile designer by trade and still don’t make enough money to really travel the way I want. Anyway, I’m just working on saving more, focused on my online business plus remote work. I’m trying not to get in a mentally sunken place because of this Fking country. Im happy Exodus will be moving to another platform in the near future because I hate FB. I only joined FB to br apart of the group. So grateful for you and Rashida!

I traveled to Spain 🇪🇸 in 2018 and from my take on the vibe there, I felt way more safe and carefree than I do in the US as I was born and raised in the US. It’s definitely something spiritual about America that changes people for the worse the older I’m getting.
I've been to Barcelona and enjoyed it. But there is a difference in being a tourist in a country and living there. With America being not only racist, but violent, and the high crime, just getting away from that would be freeing. But I've heard from many sources that Spain, like Italy, is pretty racists against "Blacks."

I dont understand why we're not focusing on african countries or the Caribbean. As far as how were treated in those countries how would africa treat Mexicans or Hispanics? Not everyone can leave successfully. So for those that can't, we need to stay here and make it better instead of running?
@@SkllsndFlwrs to be honest you have to answer that, because my life is problem free here in America, I take my vacation and have relocated a few times to get away from the hood mentally more than anything. News flash these other countries don't want you living there unless you have big money, they like you to visit spend , then go home.
@@vinz224 Lol actually I don't, you're the one suggesting that people are stuck where they are and need to focus on "making it better" yet offering not a single answer as to how. YOUR lack of resourcefulness doesn't render it impossible for others. Several of us have and continue to do it.
Telling people that they are running away is "whitespeak", and making blanket statements that other countries don't really want you, "except for your money" completely negates the experiences that many other people have had. Why are you even here if you are so satisfied with living in the US? @vinz224
I've heard the same re the people in Ireland but you have to remember that Ireland is a largely homogenous country when it come to their population. If minorities start moving there in droves you would see a different reaction to nonirish visitors. I believe that recently occur with the Moslem immigrants there.
@nicolelabram5575 turns out when I was there in October, they were actually celebrating black history month. I asked them about this and their answer surprised me. Their largest immigrant population are Polish and Nigerian...but they dont classify or think of them as Nigerian-Irish...nope...they just call them Irish.
YES! YES! YES In my travels, people that are not our allies back home in the USA are more welcoming abroad, except for maybe Australia. I was nervous about meeting some Irish and Polish people once due to previous experiences with those that identify themselves as such on the Eastern Coast of the USA. However, they were great. Same when I went to Mexico. I am Black and was married to a German. After some experiences where things were different than what I learned in the USA, my ex and I had a discussion about why the ethnicities that appear so anti-black in USA, are so much more pleasant abroad. He said, " When you move to America, you have to become American and there is a learned superiority over Black Americans. To dislike blacks is part of your American culture." We are divorced now ( not about race), but he was right about that!!!!
This!! I believe this 100% because there is a SPECIFIC Ant-Black hate directed at Black Americans by all immigrant groups no matter the demographic because its specific to trying to appeal to the existing power structure to gain power and acceptance. Their talking points are always the same, rooted in White Supremacy.
100% agree with this. I've noticed a SPECIFIC Anti Black hate directed at Black Americans from immigrant groups no matter their demographic (any race). Its all rooted in the same WS talking points and rhetoric and they don't question it. I knew it had to be taught to them collectively so they could assimilate and gain acceptance and power.

I said this in my recap of the Exodus Summit, black people especially women need to stop expecting for others to be ‘on our side’. We need to be on each ‘other’s side’ first. Because it was also shown that lots of black men were not on ‘our side’. I am just saying.
Agreed. Channel all the support and love in our own communities. One of the big things we have to do is think about how we’re spending our money. What groups are we handing money to that aren’t supporting us that list should be obvious.
@@videofan1010 I don’t think they’re capeing. I think they’re saying let’s grab all of the community that support us… There are some black men that support us just as there are some black youth that understand the importance of community. We need everyone who is capable of unifying. Even, while we are turning inward to take care of ourselves.
I lived there for over 20 years and I found exodus summit and burnout to bliss saved my life …tell her to go she ain’t missing out. Happy to be in touch with her @ayamempress1579
6:09 I just left Costa Rica after being there for a month. *You are 100% accurate* You feel like family there. I stayed with a family. They made me God Mother to their 4 month old. The husband cooked for all of us. I got them a PriceSmart membership since it’s a family now. They invited friends and family over and it was hard to keep up with all the cross conversations. Passion fruit margaritas. The older uncle invited all of us to the local bar. I said I’ll have ONE beer with him… 4 beers later, MORE family and friends came to the bar. (Jesus I was knocking back those Imperial Beers- my head was throbbing the next morning). I’m going to finish out my time here (full medical coverage through retirement) and move to Costa Rica. I LOVED C.R. when I went in 2016. But I had undergraduate student loans to pay off. 9:01 😮 I’m going to be paying closer attention to some German names when I go back in a few months. 12:01 YES ! I felt and still feel good. Exactly. No hardship in Costa Rica. Everytime I go. It’s odd and addictive. That’s why I’ve already bought my ticket to go back 15:25 it was my taste and I flew into Liberia and yes American white peoples love the pretty part. That’s why I hang with & where the Ticos are

Yes!! I'm half Jamaican American and my dad's family and mom's family are against each other due to nationality and my mom's side are originally from Haiti and Jamaica but since they are Creole and have come from a free "mulatto" family they are prejudice and ny dad's side has a conplex. It's exhausting because neither side accepts me. Everyone is fighting with themselves gor jo reason and crazy as hell. 🤦🏾♀️
Great explanation of the differences! As a Mexican resident who has also lived in 40 countries, I’ve had similar experiences. Wishing all the women looking for new homes peace and the absolute best! ❤
This was a great video with good insights. You make an excellent point about how the USA has a way of changing people from other countries who move here. I love it, and thanks!
No lies spoken here. I am a biracial woman with an Irish born mother. I myself was born and raised in London. She was born in County Leitrim and moved to England where she met my Jamaican father. I have also attended Boston University. My mother and the Irish there are definitely not the same. I live in LA and I have been to Mexico twice. Totally different people. This country was built on negativity and it changes most for the worst. I tell my American born children you are American born, but you are not to adopt these vales or lack thereof. Enjoyed this!
The hispanics I’ve met outside the US mainland are cool. I fell in love with the idea of living in Panama because I lived around some amazing Panamanians in the US who own their blackness, love to party and are the kindest most welcoming people. Also spent 2 months in San Juan, Puerto Rico and had no problemo. Some of them were kinda feisty but so am I and sometimes I matched energy and keep moving along 😊
Hey, I'm a psych student and there is absolute truth to what you said regarding people changing when they get here. I just finished a developmental psych class and we were taught that US- latin born people here were more likely to physically discipline their children than their forgein Latin born parents for example. there were demographics of other groups as well. I'm a us- born boricua ... it made me wonder about colonialism and the realms of our psyche and thus our lives it permeates. I don't know if we'll ever fully understand. Thank you for this video and your clarity in this time.
@JazzOnWax I went to boarding school on the east coast, and my roomie was from Mexico. Her family was incredibly welcoming when I spent our spring break at their home in Mexico City. Random people were also very nice to me at the shops and restaurants etc. whenever we went out for errands and activities
I hope we know Błack women don’t randomly insert ourselves in other people’s causes and struggles just because we want to or like to or because we hope to save everyone. We stand with causes because we’re pre-emptive and discerning and because we know that whatever affects others is coming our way and is going to hit us 100x worse and the hardest. We know we WILL take the full force brunt of it and without fail. There’s been nothing in 🇺🇸 history that has hìt others harder than has hìt us. Nothing. Within the past 50 years ... 80s jobs moving overseas, 90s cràck, housing market crash, covìd.... nothing. So, we’ve never had the luxury of sitting down idly by, as spectators and saying we’re not in it. It’s always been a no win/ a stand with the lesser of two evìls for us as we try to beat these things off at the pass with others in an effort to lessen the ultimate intensity that we know is coming our way (not that we “want to” do it.) For us, there has never been a choice.
I am crush by the huge vote for garbage, after all we fought for to see others come here and think they are better. To stop spending your money with them
So glad that I'm not pre-emptive or discerning about anyone but me and mine. BW picked up other people's burden by choice and gotten burned over and over again. I hope this is a huge turn for BW to only worry about themselves first.
I agree with your premise, but the world is going to have to figure it tf out now. Cuz we quit. I don't care how many that we encompasses, but me is enough.
dwn2earth260 - Ok, for me I would never place my life/ the lives of my loved ones in the hands of whìte America for them to figure out what’s going to happen to me. They cannot and they will not be trusted to make beneficial decisions on their own concerning me. They never have, and in fact i can count on them to make harmful decisions concerning me. It’s our involvement and throwing a wrench in the system that has MADE them do even the least little right they’ve done. Left to their own devices, they don’t care about us. They’ve made that perfectly clear. It’s not that we “want” to get involved and that we don’t want to stay at home and just worry about ourselves. We literally have had no choice. And as of last Tuesday, we better know that.
Thank you for sharing. I happen to have had very good experiences in Mexico so I appreciate you clarifying the differences of in country and out of country behavior.
It is fantastic to see Sistahs seeing this world with new eyes and seeking a future in a more postive social climate. Sistahs are winning and its a joy to see. Thx Steph for the info. Love your caramel brown skin, its amazing
I moved to Mexico in June 2023. This is, of course, anecdotal, but I think there's a difference between Mexicans who live in Mexico and the ones who have moved to the U.S. If you think about it, Mexico just elected their first woman president and she is from the leftwing party, so nothing like the party of the orange clown. And, the election data showed Latino/Latina voters, only a fraction of which are Mexicans. Also would include Cubans who are heavily to the right and all the other people from all the other Latin American countries that Stephanie mentioned
Great content and information about traveling abroad as a black woman. I agree,the US has caused hundreds of years of anxiety for many people of color. I agree that leaving the US will help reduce psychological and emotional stressors.
60% of Hispanic women voted for Kamala. 45% Hispanic men voted for Trump. More voted for Kamala. The Hispanic men in my family voted for Kamala. They are Puerto Rican.
@@babykosh5415wth are you talking about? fat joe’s Black? jennifer Lopez is black? 🤡 stop speaking on Latinos esp when u don’t even knw the diff between race and ethnicity.
Good evening Stephanie and I’m viewing from your future. ❤❤❤ So glad our family made our moves to make our change. Sistas give yourself a sabbatical to recharge, refresh and focus on our self care. We deserve this kindness for ourselves. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
My son-law is from Belfast. He is the best son-in-law and his family worship my daughter and my entire family. They live in Belfast and you are right Irish people in their homeland are totally different than the ones who migrated to America. My daughter said they probably will never move back to US. They also are living in Portugal now and I am looking forward to retiring in either Belfast or Portugal.
@@JazzOnWax here are most of the things I had done~Dublin Guinness storehouse; Jameson distillery tour and experience, grafton street shopping, ate at some decent restaurants a few pubs, mercy international (for work)/ baggot street. So much more to do. Kilkenny- castle tour, food festival was in town in October. October is their black history month. I missed the pop up shops (got my times mixed up) Carlow- for work, but was I was outside lol cigar bars and pubs Dingle penninsula- inch beach, lamb and sheep farm (so precious), shopped, ate, saw where they filmed Star Wars Adare- shopping not much going on there Cliffs of Moher- county Clare. Absolutely breathtaking and crispy fresh air Shannon- bunratty castle for dinner, more country side. Caught a ferry. Overall it was great. Saw rainbows 🌈 everyday and it’s so green and beautiful.
I think they do not recognize them as "Afro" Mexicans because they may nott want to make a distinction of race between Mexicans. Ultimately, they are Mexicans, just like we are Americans whether the government wants to recognize us as such or not. The hyphenated nationalism could be a US thing but I can see the importance of wanting to be recognized. All that really matters is how anyone identifies themself.
@@JazzOnWax Maybe. still, I’ve heard they actively seek to erase all African an aboriginal origin stories. That’s a different bag altogether. You can be Mexican and still include this information in your history books.
Baby steps. All countries are problematic for Black and indigenous peoples to some degree. Your priority is to get somewhere to reset your nervous system.
I love Mexico!!! Preferably the Yucatan Peninsula . People inside of Mexico very much mind their business and protect their culture and are not reaching for "whiteness" .
I love your channel so much. Unfortunately I am white, but my husband is mexican. We are moving back to Mexico beginning of January. I wish I could join your Facebook group but totally understand why I can't. If you ever make a group that is open to everyone I would love to join.
Oh My God Stephanie! Thank you so very much❤ for your confirmation. I went to Merida, Mexico during the summer 2024 and had such a wonderful time! My plan was always to expat abroad and I truly had a great time in Mexico. I felt so comfortable there!🙏🏾 I am in very early planning stages now...Again, thank you again!❤🙏🏾
I am from New Zealand. All my family are part Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand) I would seriously suggest black women give New Zealand a look. My American born wife who is a woman of colour and I are looking at going back there after this disastrous election. New Zealand is not perfect and does have problems with race relations, however, it is head and shoulders above the USA. The big cities are okay, but if you can live in the smaller towns in the North Island you will have a much better experience. The North Island of New Zealand is most diverse, the South Island the least diverse. I prefer the North Island. Australia is absolutely racist as hell. I am hoping we are starting to see the the start of the breakup of the USA. Take care of yourselves black ladies. You absolutely deserve the best, as you have carried this country on your backs for generations. I think it now time for the disintegration of America to begin.
Hi Stephanie (Wanda Sykes doppelgänger) I’ve been following for years, but for some this time 😳 I’m commenting. 😂. You’ve been sounding the Alarm for years, yeeeeaaars. I’m all Ears now. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙🌺🌺
Good Stephanie! I appreciate you so very much for the straightforward talk and dropping knowledge. What you are saying is exactly how I feel. I have things that I need to wrap up because I can exit this US. As a black woman I feel that I cannot thrive in the United States any longer. I am looking for peace, serenity, safety, and oneness with others around me.
Dear Stephanie ❤ I am a gay black man . Born in Cuba. You are so correct view of Latinos. Yes Mexico is my preferred country above other Latino countries. I also recommend Mexico.
@@fridaymanlythis is a BLACK WOMAN SPACE. NO ONE gets to INSERT themselves here who isn’t a BLACK WOMAN. That not homophobic it’s recognition that some one wasn’t invited to the Bbq😊.
I was in Dublin in August. In general, the people were friendly and kind. I met an African expat taxi driver there who said he would never move to the U.S. because he’s afraid of gun violence. He said that if a single child in Ireland died from gun violence the government would immediately pass a law to stop that. He said he was very happy living in Dublin.
The experience of someone whose African is not the experience of someone whose Black. Stop conflating the two - you need to listen to how the biracial Black & 2nd gen immigrants who were actually born in Ireland feel about the place because they have the lived experience of experiencing Irish society from top to bottom. You're going to get a very different result. Also Ireland has a mad issue with young people leaving as soon as they can & brain drain since kids have no future here - its completely normalized for every young person you know to move to Australia or the UK. They cant afford homes, there is a stagnation of jobs & frankly the culture, while comforting at times, is deeply stifling. There's something wrong when Irish kids feel like they have to leave the country to have a quality of life where they can be themselves.
Ireland also has a "just sweep it under the rug" culture. People don't talk about problems in the community here. There's a big reason why a very famous serial rapist who was accused of murder (and acquitted) moved to Ireland & said "Here people don't bother me". Also the level of child sex abuse that is swept under the rug with people whispering about "(insert name) down the way has some odd interests". Nobody reports them, nobody makes sure they arent grooming more victims - they just choose to ignore it & gossip. Right up until the person dies & then immediately canonize him as "HE WAS JUST THE BEST GUY AROUND OH CHRIST THE SADNESS IS OVERTAKING ME".
I agree 100% with Stephanie’s assessment of Ireland. I went a few years back with a chip on my shoulder expecting the Irish in Ireland to act like those in the USA. To my shock, the Irish is Ireland were SOOOOOOO nice to me. Everywhere I went they were so nice. I was given free things, special service, and lovely conversations!!! Can’t wait to return - and I am an African American female.
@@AlexandriaV I am not conflating anything and I don’t appreciate being attacked for reporting my experience while in the country. Whatever it is you’re angry about please find someone else to take it out on. We all have different experiences based on who we interact with in any place.
@AlexandriaV thanks I appreciate your perspective, but you do realize your tone on the goddess above was a bit rude. Let's do better and treat one another with more care. You seem upset that people are blind by the horrors in your place. Thanks for opening our eyes to another side. It may be difficult for her to hear you when she felt attacked. Be well love! I trust my intentions will be received with the best of you. What is from the heart reaches the heart. May we all give more of our ❤ to bring more light to annihilate some of this darkness that is spreading.
@@JackieBenjamin-n3t It's amazing how the moment you actually had to interact with someone who grew up Black in Ireland who points out how your single conversation with a migrant isn't accurate to the native Black experience in Ireland *or* speaking on the lack of hope for opportunity facing Irish youth - you have the gall to claim you were attacked.
Maybe don't hop on the internet & announce your anecdote of visiting a place you went on *vacation* one time & then get upset when someone whose actually from the place tells you what it's actually like being from here while Black culture *or* getting upset someone explained to you the reality young people are facing by leaving this country in droves.
Yes, everybody's nice in Ireland *to foreigners* because the Irish culture's expectation of conduct is to nice to foreigners & passive aggressiveness is the lingua franca because that's Irish society as a standard - don't cause a fuss.
I'm in tech and so many Indians (India) have aligned themselves with Whyte. 🤷🏾♀️

I agree. There was a shift yesterday and I can feel it today. A Black woman held the door for me on the elevator and said "I love you" and I said it back to her. We're greeting each other and I see many sisters posting on social media about burning the cape. I'm seeing White people about how great Black women are which let's me know that they are FEELING and seeing us pull away from them. It's happening and I'm so proud of my sisters.
Yes it’s happening !! Imma pull away from black males too they voted for him 22%

They are the nicest people, and they don’t like Trump. However, they are upset too. They said that they have Mexican family and friends that voted for Trump even though they were begging them not to. So, I understand that immigrants are different. We really can’t put them all in the same bowl.
Canada needs more nurses. You should look into that country. Just learn some French.

Very true, Stephanie. I live in Texas and the latino immigrants learn super fast that to get ahead is to align with White America, fast. Why come from a struggle to move to a struggle? I get it.

I currently live in Mexico. There is nothing amazing about it, and the people are just regular people. Black women aren't going to escape racism, colorism or sexism here. It's an okay place to live, but don't expect utopia. What you can expect are frequent cutoffs of water and electricity, depending on where you live. Don't believe the hype, because if you do, you will be disappointed. Visit for six months before relocating to Mexico, because more than likely, the community you seek will not be found here.
I would have to agree. Visited La Paz, San Jose del Cabo and Mexico City. Visited for a bit and stayed away from tourist areas. Nothing soul stirring, I've felt more at home in other parts of the world. Everyone should visit, research and figure it out for themselves. Don't come to a conclusion based on what others say.
I've been here 5yrs. 100% totally different experience for me and my kids.
However, I want to acknowledge your experience and hope you have found or will find a location that aligns with your needs/desires.

Try Barbados 🏝️. It is safe, friendly, educated (good schools) and politically stable.
I didn't get that welcome at all when I visited in 2015.
It's expensive there. Panama is much better for US citizens.
@@Greensmoothie-d6rsame for me, the people seemed stuffy to me ( I guess from the British influence). And I found it to be expensive.
I found people very colorist from the airport to the toursit booths.... Not for me at all.
Yes, they have British influence there and colorism is typical in most black nations but overall they are nice or they will leave you alone. The important thing is, it is safe, stable and your money goes further than the US. I am from Canada and even though we are known for being friendly, you will still find some bad apples here too. I find most Bajan people to be very friendly and helpful.
The Pew Research Center survey replicated the Census Bureau's format, asking about race separately from Hispanic ethnicity. Asked about their race in this way, more than half of Hispanics in the survey identified their race as White (58%), with the next largest share selecting the "some other race" category (27%)
Maybe we should've never looked at them as allies when they don't even see themselves as black or brown ?!
It’s because some of them are from SPAIN directly. We learn this in world history class… not all Hispanic people are mestizo or blk or indigenous. Search up the colonial history of Latin America and Brazil (the Portuguese) and the casta system
Duh. We've been screaming that for four years. People fighting their own to sing kumbaya with fakes.
We have no allies. Learn it now and never forget it.

Thanks for bringing in the stats.
I got my first stamp in my passport. I went to Costa Rica for my birthday and I loved it!
I’m a golden Baby Boomer who got my first passport stamp March 2023. It was CR. For me, it was a bitter sweet experience bc I was with husband. It’s #1 (and still only one) as I have not yet actually started a “list”. I’m transitioning to divorce. When that’s final, I will focus on ex-pat life.
@ when you are ready get your list ready. I used Airfordable app to like reserve my ticket and pay on it over time. Very helpful being that I’m on a fixed income. I hope you have many more stamps in your passport and cherishing memories.
I'm so glad that you made this video. Years ago, I was a student in Mexico City and I loved it!! The people were wonderful and the city was amazing. For the past 17 years, I've lived in Phoenix AZ and most of my neighbors are of Mexican descent. The ones who haven't been here long, are visiting from Mexico and those that speak very little English are the nicest people. Mexican Americans in Phoenix? Hostile, rude, imposing and racist. Yes, there is a difference.
You’re exactly right 💯
I've seen it first hand with Puerto Ricans. They turn on their own once they are in the United States.
The negative energy in the United States leads to many wild behaviors.
Blacks need to turn those gangs into militias. People respect liberation parties.
I normally chill and respect the space but want to add something for those considering Argentina. This sister is correct! Argentinians consider themselves to be Spanish adjacent. They pay the Spanish to move there and validate them. They also ask their people to marry the Black Argentinians. Not because they like them but to breed out the Black population. Just food for thought, post war N*zi officers moved straight to Argentina after the war. That's why some Argentinians speak German. Definitely be safe if visiting there. I hope that BW live well and find the safe spaces out there. Merida, PVR, Belize(San Pedro/Caye Caulker very easy visa), Nice FR, and Thailand have been welcoming to us and my female relatives. Safe travels.
Argentina is predominantly white because of 19th and 20th century mass migration from Europe. Many from Germany, but mostly Italy.
We do had that but we also had an enormous influx of post war poor Europeans immigrants, included a very big Jewish community. In our favor I’d say everybody f*ck everybody so a big part of the pop is really mixed like my family. I do not think BW will feel any kind of discrimination there if you do try to assimilate and learn the culture but it is not an easy country to live even for Argentinians, the economy situation is nothing like you ever lived in America, most people are just worry about the next meal and how to pay the bills than the color of your skin, you have to be aware of that. My advice is learn to drink Mate and you will have an extra advantage, being real here. Btw we vote for Kamala and I’m absolutely furious with my community. Take care ❤
What is the advantage of drinking mate and what exactly is it?
@@FTYC2022 it is a drink we share, like a tea we drink from a dry gourd, you can search Yerba mate, Argentina mate 🧉. It is an acquired taste because is bitter if you drink it without sugar but has the benefit of being healthier than coffee, it is also stimulant and diuretic to the beginner so be careful 😬. I also recommend you look into Uruguay, very small country but more stable and with a more mix pop of Black people or mulatos, same with Brazil. Highly recommend that don’t even try to understand politics over there because it is almost impossible, find the people that accept, care and love you and enjoy the culture.
AR was safe for me 2 yrs ago
I’m moving to Mexico spring or summer of next year. Preparing for that transition now & I’m super excited.

I traveled to Spain 🇪🇸 in 2018 and from my take on the vibe there, I felt way more safe and carefree than I do in the US as I was born and raised in the US. It’s definitely something spiritual about America that changes people for the worse the older I’m getting.
Spiritual or demonic?
If it's demonic, that is spiritual.
I've been to Barcelona and enjoyed it. But there is a difference in being a tourist in a country and living there. With America being not only racist, but violent, and the high crime, just getting away from that would be freeing. But I've heard from many sources that Spain, like Italy, is pretty racists against "Blacks."

Stephanie, you are the Activist of the Century!! Hair looking cute too.
You are so right...I just got back from Ireland and was pleasantly surprised.
I swore off European countries, but it's good to know Ireland may be a choice.
I had a wonderful time there too. The people are genuinely friendly and I enjoyed the their dry humor
I’ve heard only good things about Ireland from Black women. My mom’s friend took her granddaughters and they all loved it and highly recommend it 🫶🏾
I've heard the same re the people in Ireland but you have to remember that Ireland is a largely homogenous country when it come to their population. If minorities start moving there in droves you would see a different reaction to nonirish visitors. I believe that recently occur with the Moslem immigrants there.
@nicolelabram5575 turns out when I was there in October, they were actually celebrating black history month. I asked them about this and their answer surprised me. Their largest immigrant population are Polish and Nigerian...but they dont classify or think of them as Nigerian-Irish...nope...they just call them Irish.
YES! YES! YES In my travels, people that are not our allies back home in the USA are more welcoming abroad, except for maybe Australia. I was nervous about meeting some Irish and Polish people once due to previous experiences with those that identify themselves as such on the Eastern Coast of the USA. However, they were great. Same when I went to Mexico. I am Black and was married to a German. After some experiences where things were different than what I learned in the USA, my ex and I had a discussion about why the ethnicities that appear so anti-black in USA, are so much more pleasant abroad. He said, " When you move to America, you have to become American and there is a learned superiority over Black Americans. To dislike blacks is part of your American culture." We are divorced now ( not about race), but he was right about that!!!!
Thanks for sharing. Your ex's insights confirm what many of us have felt or known.
This!! I believe this 100% because there is a SPECIFIC Ant-Black hate directed at Black Americans by all immigrant groups no matter the demographic because its specific to trying to appeal to the existing power structure to gain power and acceptance. Their talking points are always the same, rooted in White Supremacy.
100% agree with this. I've noticed a SPECIFIC Anti Black hate directed at Black Americans from immigrant groups no matter their demographic (any race). Its all rooted in the same WS talking points and rhetoric and they don't question it. I knew it had to be taught to them collectively so they could assimilate and gain acceptance and power.

African immigrants do the exact same ish. Your ex is correct.
I said this in my recap of the Exodus Summit, black people especially women need to stop expecting for others to be ‘on our side’. We need to be on each ‘other’s side’ first. Because it was also shown that lots of black men were not on ‘our side’. I am just saying.
Agreed. Channel all the support and love in our own communities. One of the big things we have to do is think about how we’re spending our money. What groups are we handing money to that aren’t supporting us that list should be obvious.

@@videofan1010 I don’t think they’re capeing. I think they’re saying let’s grab all of the community that support us… There are some black men that support us just as there are some black youth that understand the importance of community. We need everyone who is capable of unifying. Even, while we are turning inward to take care of ourselves.
My lil sister moved to Australia and her experiences are not great. Thanks for mentioning it because I need to tell her to get out of there 😢
I lived there for over 20 years and I found exodus summit and burnout to bliss saved my life …tell her to go she ain’t missing out. Happy to be in touch with her @ayamempress1579
Can you expand on what her experiences are being there
I hate to hear that because when I visited I loved it! I understand those two things are different
6:09 I just left Costa Rica after being there for a month. *You are 100% accurate* You feel like family there. I stayed with a family. They made me God Mother to their 4 month old. The husband cooked for all of us. I got them a PriceSmart membership since it’s a family now. They invited friends and family over and it was hard to keep up with all the cross conversations. Passion fruit margaritas. The older uncle invited all of us to the local bar. I said I’ll have ONE beer with him… 4 beers later, MORE family and friends came to the bar. (Jesus I was knocking back those Imperial Beers- my head was throbbing the next morning). I’m going to finish out my time here (full medical coverage through retirement) and move to Costa Rica.
I LOVED C.R. when I went in 2016. But I had undergraduate student loans to pay off.
9:01 😮 I’m going to be paying closer attention to some German names when I go back in a few months.
12:01 YES ! I felt and still feel good. Exactly. No hardship in Costa Rica. Everytime I go. It’s odd and addictive. That’s why I’ve already bought my ticket to go back
15:25 it was my taste and I flew into Liberia and yes American white peoples love the pretty part. That’s why I hang with & where the Ticos are
Yea we out if here absolutely. I got my eye on Costa Rico
Harriet. I mean Ida B. I mean Stephanie. 🙂Thank you for giving me hope during these dark times. Also, what is your skincare routine? Sis is flawless.
I love this comment😊
Good living!!! When you’re happy and at peace you don’t need all that Korean bullshit on your face!
🎯🎯🎯 I’m 1st gen Jamaican and this is spot on. I think it’s a certain type of person that wants to assimilate in the US. Not a good example of the country they come from.
Definitely. There is a desperation or hunger to fit in, almost like getting jumped into a cult or gang.
@@DevonahBlackwellT.I. omg this!
🎉😢 When immigrants come to America they are not only warned, but they see how white people give each other privilege, how crazy😵💫patriotic they are, how the media portrays Black people, how Black people mistreat each other, the vulgar rap music, and especially, how Black people mistreat their own children🙇🏾♂️🙇🏽♀️! So they want to have the good life. Not the struggle life. When I say black, I mean the collective. They don’t know about our history and even though slavery and its effects are a part of our history, it doesn’t mean we should continue to treat each other as if we are self hating slaves on a plantation. Many blk folk dislike moral, classy, educated black persons, calling us bourgeois. This must end! We need to be better as a culture of people for the sake of ourselves. Not for acceptance by any other tribe of peoples. We need to change the negatives of our culture for our future generations. They’re currently being primed 😵💫🎶for the new prison plantations 😢
Yes!! I'm half Jamaican American and my dad's family and mom's family are against each other due to nationality and my mom's side are originally from Haiti and Jamaica but since they are Creole and have come from a free "mulatto" family they are prejudice and ny dad's side has a conplex. It's exhausting because neither side accepts me. Everyone is fighting with themselves gor jo reason and crazy as hell. 🤦🏾♀️
Great explanation of the differences! As a Mexican resident who has also lived in 40 countries, I’ve had similar experiences. Wishing all the women looking for new homes peace and the absolute best! ❤
This was a great video with good insights. You make an excellent point about how the USA has a way of changing people from other countries who move here. I love it, and thanks!
No lies spoken here. I am a biracial woman with an Irish born mother. I myself was born and raised in London. She was born in County Leitrim and moved to England where she met my Jamaican father. I have also attended Boston University. My mother and the Irish there are definitely not the same. I live in LA and I have been to Mexico twice. Totally different people. This country was built on negativity and it changes most for the worst. I tell my American born children you are American born, but you are not to adopt these vales or lack thereof. Enjoyed this!
I LOVE living in Mexico and looking forward to chatting on Saturday! 💛
Ooo which area? I’m planning to move there myself early next year ❤️
Best decision I ever made!
I love hearing these testimonies 🙌🏾
The hispanics I’ve met outside the US mainland are cool. I fell in love with the idea of living in Panama because I lived around some amazing Panamanians in the US who own their blackness, love to party and are the kindest most welcoming people. Also spent 2 months in San Juan, Puerto Rico and had no problemo. Some of them were kinda feisty but so am I and sometimes I matched energy and keep moving along 😊
Your skin is glowing ! you look great!
This woman knows her history 🤙🏾
Love your channel….moved from Florida to Belize 🇧🇿 last year ❤️🙏🏾
Embracing ease❤️ Great message.
This is so timely. Thank you so much for having the "real talk".
Hey, I'm a psych student and there is absolute truth to what you said regarding people changing when they get here. I just finished a developmental psych class and we were taught that US- latin born people here were more likely to physically discipline their children than their forgein Latin born parents for example. there were demographics of other groups as well. I'm a us- born boricua ... it made me wonder about colonialism and the realms of our psyche and thus our lives it permeates. I don't know if we'll ever fully understand.
Thank you for this video and your clarity in this time.
The further I got away from the tourist district the better I felt I was treated in Mexico. My personal opinion.
Is it true that Mexicans in Mexico have a different mindset towards black women than the Mexicans in the USA?
@JazzOnWax I went to boarding school on the east coast, and my roomie was from Mexico. Her family was incredibly welcoming when I spent our spring break at their home in Mexico City. Random people were also very nice to me at the shops and restaurants etc. whenever we went out for errands and activities
Love you Stephanie 🥰 Thanks for all your encouraging support. You are the best!
I was perched and waiting for you. Thank you sis. Always good insight.
I was already omw to Costa Rica this January bday to look for a region that resonates with me.. My 2 friends are going with me. Can't wait to move!
I'm going in 2 weeks! Pura Vida!
@marquitatravels7325 Pura Vida!!
Thank you for ALL YOU DO & all the information you share
the United States doesn't change anyone. People are the way they are. Given an opportunity, you get to see the real them...
I hope we know Błack women don’t randomly insert ourselves in other people’s causes and struggles just because we want to or like to or because we hope to save everyone. We stand with causes because we’re pre-emptive and discerning and because we know that whatever affects others is coming our way and is going to hit us 100x worse and the hardest. We know we WILL take the full force brunt of it and without fail.
There’s been nothing in 🇺🇸 history that has hìt others harder than has hìt us. Nothing. Within the past 50 years ... 80s jobs moving overseas, 90s cràck, housing market crash, covìd.... nothing. So, we’ve never had the luxury of sitting down idly by, as spectators and saying we’re not in it. It’s always been a no win/ a stand with the lesser of two evìls for us as we try to beat these things off at the pass with others in an effort to lessen the ultimate intensity that we know is coming our way (not that we “want to” do it.) For us, there has never been a choice.
There’s a choice now so stand down.Burn your cape and free yourself!
I am crush by the huge vote for garbage, after all we fought for to see others come here and think they are better. To stop spending your money with them
So glad that I'm not pre-emptive or discerning about anyone but me and mine. BW picked up other people's burden by choice and gotten burned over and over again. I hope this is a huge turn for BW to only worry about themselves first.
I agree with your premise, but the world is going to have to figure it tf out now. Cuz we quit. I don't care how many that we encompasses, but me is enough.
dwn2earth260 - Ok, for me I would never place my life/ the lives of my loved ones in the hands of whìte America for them to figure out what’s going to happen to me. They cannot and they will not be trusted to make beneficial decisions on their own concerning me. They never have, and in fact i can count on them to make harmful decisions concerning me. It’s our involvement and throwing a wrench in the system that has MADE them do even the least little right they’ve done. Left to their own devices, they don’t care about us. They’ve made that perfectly clear. It’s not that we “want” to get involved and that we don’t want to stay at home and just worry about ourselves. We literally have had no choice. And as of last Tuesday, we better know that.
Thank You for this, Miss Stephanie Perry! Knew you’d post soon after election result 😂 ❤
Thank you for sharing. I happen to have had very good experiences in Mexico so I appreciate you clarifying the differences of in country and out of country behavior.
Paola Ramos addresses this very topic in her book “Defectors”.
It is fantastic to see Sistahs seeing this world with new eyes and seeking a future in a more postive social climate. Sistahs are winning and its a joy to see. Thx Steph for the info. Love your caramel brown skin, its amazing
Come on Stephanie, you are teaching tonight. Love it!
Hi Stephanie! You are a breath of Fresh Air and Encouragement! Blessings to you!
There was definitely a shift in the environment in the US after the news of Election 2024.
I moved to Mexico in June 2023. This is, of course, anecdotal, but I think there's a difference between Mexicans who live in Mexico and the ones who have moved to the U.S. If you think about it, Mexico just elected their first woman president and she is from the leftwing party, so nothing like the party of the orange clown. And, the election data showed Latino/Latina voters, only a fraction of which are Mexicans. Also would include Cubans who are heavily to the right and all the other people from all the other Latin American countries that Stephanie mentioned
I was thinking of moving to Mexico, how do you like it so far?
Thank you!!! You’re correct.
This was great! Thanks, Stephanie. ❤
I love Mexico. Been to about 6 states and loved them all. I’ve always felt safe.
Thank you, Stephanie! Lots of great information❤
Great content and information about traveling abroad as a black woman. I agree,the US has caused hundreds of years of anxiety for many people of color. I agree that leaving the US will help reduce psychological and emotional stressors.
Your channel is a breath of fresh air to my heart and soul.
60% of Hispanic women voted for Kamala. 45% Hispanic men voted for Trump. More voted for Kamala. The Hispanic men in my family voted for Kamala. They are Puerto Rican.
Puerto Ricans are black sweetheart. They have always embraced their blackness. Other Hispanic / Latino folks?...well.
Love ur family ❤
@@babykosh5415wth are you talking about? fat joe’s Black? jennifer Lopez is black? 🤡 stop speaking on Latinos esp when u don’t even knw the diff between race and ethnicity.
latino men : 53% Harris ,45% trump
latino women: 59% Harris,40% trump that's not good !!
@@series9193It’s not great but the women still supported her more.They didn’t lie like WW did.
I appreciate all of the sharing and information!!!
Good evening Stephanie and I’m viewing from your future. ❤❤❤ So glad our family made our moves to make our change. Sistas give yourself a sabbatical to recharge, refresh and focus on our self care. We deserve this kindness for ourselves. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am loving the joy on your face and in your voice. Thank you!! ❤
Thank you for this video. So many people don't understand the historical origins of various peoples around the world.
Thank you for saying no. Because I plan on starting in Mexico first. Had me worried. 😂😂😂😂😂
loving your segments, thank you!
My son-law is from Belfast. He is the best son-in-law and his family worship my daughter and my entire family. They live in Belfast and you are right Irish people in their homeland are totally different than the ones who migrated to America. My daughter said they probably will never move back to US. They also are living in Portugal now and I am looking forward to retiring in either Belfast or Portugal.
As a black girl from Massachusetts I'm very curious about the Irish thing cuz these ppl here... yeah no.
Ireland is totally different. They sent their worst here. 😫
@@dsivy1707 All of Europe did for that matter. What are some of the popular recreational activities, festivals, events, etc. in Ireland?
Europe sent their rejects to America and Canada baby. 😅
@@JazzOnWax here are most of the things I had done~Dublin Guinness storehouse; Jameson distillery tour and experience, grafton street shopping, ate at some decent restaurants a few pubs, mercy international (for work)/ baggot street. So much more to do.
Kilkenny- castle tour, food festival was in town in October. October is their black history month. I missed the pop up shops (got my times mixed up)
Carlow- for work, but was I was outside lol cigar bars and pubs
Dingle penninsula- inch beach, lamb and sheep farm (so precious), shopped, ate, saw where they filmed Star Wars
Adare- shopping not much going on there
Cliffs of Moher- county Clare. Absolutely breathtaking and crispy fresh air
Shannon- bunratty castle for dinner, more country side. Caught a ferry.
Overall it was great. Saw rainbows 🌈 everyday and it’s so green and beautiful.
@@gwendolynallen3218 I wanted to tell them so bad, man y’all people in the US are nothing like y’all.
The only reservation i have with Mexico is that they do not fully recognize Afro-Mexicans. I know because i have family from vera cruz.
Not only that, but there is private investor 'movements' designed to disrupt the Indigenous areas, such as Oaxaca.
I think they do not recognize them as "Afro" Mexicans because they may nott want to make a distinction of race between Mexicans. Ultimately, they are Mexicans, just like we are Americans whether the government wants to recognize us as such or not. The hyphenated nationalism could be a US thing but I can see the importance of wanting to be recognized. All that really matters is how anyone identifies themself.
@@JazzOnWax Maybe. still, I’ve heard they actively seek to erase all African an aboriginal origin stories. That’s a different bag altogether. You can be Mexican and still include this information in your history books.
That’s a lie. That changed in the last census and they are now receiving some funding. AMLO made this change. You should know this.
Baby steps. All countries are problematic for Black and indigenous peoples to some degree. Your priority is to get somewhere to reset your nervous system.
I love Mexico!!! Preferably the Yucatan Peninsula . People inside of Mexico very much mind their business and protect their culture and are not reaching for "whiteness" .
I am looking forward to moving abroad
I love your channel so much. Unfortunately I am white, but my husband is mexican. We are moving back to Mexico beginning of January. I wish I could join your Facebook group but totally understand why I can't. If you ever make a group that is open to everyone I would love to join.
Unrelated, you look really pretty!!
I AGREE with your assessment of what America does to some people. I've been researching Mexico considering a move in 1 year.
You won't regret it. Mexico is nice
Oh My God Stephanie! Thank you so very much❤ for your confirmation. I went to Merida, Mexico during the summer 2024 and had such a wonderful time! My plan was always to expat abroad and I truly had a great time in Mexico. I felt so comfortable there!🙏🏾 I am in very early planning stages now...Again, thank you again!❤🙏🏾
I am from New Zealand. All my family are part Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand) I would seriously suggest black women give New Zealand a look. My American born wife who is a woman of colour and I are looking at going back there after this disastrous election.
New Zealand is not perfect and does have problems with race relations, however, it is head and shoulders above the USA. The big cities are okay, but if you can live in the smaller towns in the North Island you will have a much better experience. The North Island of New Zealand is most diverse, the South Island the least diverse. I prefer the North Island.
Australia is absolutely racist as hell.
I am hoping we are starting to see the the start of the breakup of the USA. Take care of yourselves black ladies. You absolutely deserve the best, as you have carried this country on your backs for generations. I think it now time for the disintegration of America to begin.
Thanks for info. BTW you have beautiful skin. Thanks for being positive 😊
Hello, Stephaine. I enjoy watching your channel continue to keep it up.
Hi Stephanie (Wanda Sykes doppelgänger) I’ve been following for years, but for some this time 😳 I’m commenting. 😂. You’ve been sounding the Alarm for years, yeeeeaaars. I’m all Ears now. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙🌺🌺
You know a doppelgänger is an evil twin right?
You hit on so many great points!
Thank you so very much Ms. Perry for opening my eyes extremely wide and giving me options for a better life and not being sorry to make the change.
This is a very informative video thanks
Good Stephanie! I appreciate you so very much for the straightforward talk and dropping knowledge. What you are saying is exactly how I feel. I have things that I need to wrap up because I can exit this US. As a black woman I feel that I cannot thrive in the United States any longer. I am looking for peace, serenity, safety, and oneness with others around me.
I am working on becoming financially independent. I will be noting places to go and live with ease. Thank you for all your information!
I feel you on Spain. I visited when I was 13 and had two bad experiences there.
No we don't need to take Mexico off the list. I'm STILL headed to Panama myself 😃
Stephanie you look so beautiful. This life is truly agreeing with you
Dear Stephanie ❤ I am a gay black man . Born in Cuba. You are so correct view of Latinos. Yes Mexico is my preferred country above other Latino countries. I also recommend Mexico.
Why was it important to mention that you are a gay man? It had nothing to do with your statement. This is a space for black women.
@@JazzOnWaxTHANK YOU!!!!
Why does it bother you so much that he mentioned it? @@JazzOnWax
@@mahoganyfan4522Thank you for what? For a homophobic statement? 🤔
@@fridaymanlythis is a BLACK WOMAN SPACE. NO ONE gets to INSERT themselves here who isn’t a BLACK WOMAN.
That not homophobic it’s recognition that some one wasn’t invited to the Bbq😊.
Thank you Sis for giving me courage and wisdom in this area! This is one of my grandmas hugs for you they would warm your soul🤗 ✌️
