Hey Stephanie, I was in this live... but tardy, so (this comment) didn't populate there, a copy & paste: ahh...I've been to Costa Rico... and I have Belizian roots, yet, have yet to go *there.* 'Cuban roots as well, yet... haven't been there, as of yet. 🌴🎋🌴🎋🌴🎋🌴🎋*Assata*...the *Tupac* rumors makes 1 even moor curious about *C u b a!* Has the Embargo been lifted? I know, googlingg....
To your men, & stop this foolish “gender” war we need each other. That type of nonsense is their culture & has no place in OUR society, lastly, why do many of us feel this insatiable need to go to the original homelands of these people, if they don’t like you here, they really don’t want you in their motherland, why act surprised when the expected happens? Stay your tail home & atleast make an attempt to reconcile with your own people.
As a Navy vet, I felt it when you said you are not willing to lay your life down for this country. Especially after all of the racism I experienced and seen in the Navy only to have them sweep it under the rug.
Same here Shipmate!! Been to many countries, but it’s different when you’re not on active duty. I’m thinking Mexico might be the best place to live for me.
@@shirleyvanarsdalecrabtree2880be careful, Mexico has A LOT of antiblack pockets ESPECIALLY black American biases. Dated two Mexican women and both family’s overall were absolutely disgusting to me (young black male here). Now I will say most of their family was “excepting” but even then you could feel the unwanted awkwardness. Both set of fathers were the ring leaders of said antiblackness on their family. One couldn’t stomach being in the same room with me the other always said condescending indirect things as if his entire family wasn’t destroyed due to his alcoholic behavior lol (very popular over there so again be careful)
@@Bigdookie-z9w I would not suggest Mexico, you are right they are racist. You have racist Mexicans right here, you don’t have to cross the border for racism.
Stephanie, I agree with you. We as "Black" (Origin) women, have fought enough battles, and our sacrifices and loyalty haven't been appreciated. I've had some try to tell me the same thing about "You're abandoning us. You should stay and help us fight." In my personal battles, far too often, I haven't had any community, including Black people, standing with me, and helping me. I owe no one in this country my safety, peace of mind and certainly not my life.
Just FYI, I went from Nairobi to Johannesburg earlier this year for under $200. I did Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda before Mozambique, Zim and South Africa. Extremely affordable once on the continent. And some of these were last minute, same day flights. You just need to be flexible. I'm currrently in Turkey, then off to Georgia. Anyone wants info, I'm willing to share/help any way I can. :)
👋🏾 May I ask: how much time spent in each location? Was it enough? What time of year? did you go independently or on a tour? If it was a tour was it Black owned/lead? How did you get from one country to another other than the same day flights?
I'm traveling solo. I'm flying between countries, but taking buses or private drivers within the country. I'm working on a website now. Planning takes so long and I don't mind sharing my itinerary and things I learned along the way. I also found black owned local tour companies I would love to support. I'll post the website as soon as it's up and running. It's taking a little longer than expected as I'm on a road trip through southern Turkiye.
Oh, I'm traveling fulltime and spending 3-4 weeks in each country and I have found that to be enough time to travel at a good pace and see what I want to see.
I saw the title of this video 2 days before the US election but didn't have time to watch it. Woke up this morning and saw the results and said, 'God, I'm not going through anymore of this excessive struggle. It's Wednesday Nov 6 and here I am.
I feel like what we should know is sometimes a loss is not a loss. Sometimes a loss is actually a win. Whether we choose to go or stay, with the knowledge we have and the knowledge we share with one another, we are going to be alright.

Hello Sista!!! I'm a black male raising my 14 year old daughter. We've talked about this very issue. Unfortunately, we don't have passports nor financial resources to swerve out for a while. We definitely want peace from struggle and threat. Kinda feel stuck though. I'll just say this, I love your insight and honesty. You're keeping it real! I'm gonna let my daughter watch this video and maybe her brilliant mind can think of something. But you talkin' real shyt. It's what most black folk are feeling but too afraid to admit. Thank you for opening up and giving it to us straight. Wish we had a friend like you😢.
Passports are not expensive. allegedly, if your child receives medicaid you can get a passport for free, check it out & report back. Cut out all the extras & start saving. CO am brainstorming as well, but my children are Adults & I no longer have elderly parent obligations, but the finances needs fortifying. She deserves it.
Please try to find the resources for you and your daughter's passports, even though you may not have the resources to leave yet. I struggled when my daughter was younger, so I get it. But, even of it takes a while, set yourself up for emergency exit if needed.
Also if you're afraid of leaving because you're a care taker, I contacted an Immigration atty and was informed my elderly parent that I care for can travel with me and live abroad with me. I was so happy I almost cried. So if you're ready to go start the process now.
I'm a bus driver, what would be the first step to take other than getting a passport to leave permanently? I need to apply for another job elsewhere as well.
My 90 yr old mom said she's been thru worse in her younger years and that she will take her chances. She doesn't want to live her final years out elsewhere. 😭

@@hanagreen1909 I understand the literal dictionary based definition of "Pioneer": " Develop, or be the *_First_* to use a new method, area of knowledge, or activity". However I also understand "Sapphire" logic, so I humbly apologize for my ignorance.
@@shotelco Right. My response was about knowing the difference between the definite and indefinite articles "a" vs. "the." It has nothing to do with a dictionary definition of "Pioneer." It's okay, everyone makes mistakes. But when you're corrected, you can accept the correction like an adult, or resort to name calling like a child. It's your choice.
Sapphire logic? Jealous bitter hateful blk mn alert...why come here when you obviously do not like Black women. The women here won't say or admit it but they are also fleeing blk mn like you.
Your honesty is refreshing. Most people won't say these things out loud. Thank you. And, there is nothing wrong with running away from something harmful. As a medical provider when I see a lady in a clinic with migraine headaches, even before we discuss the possibility of a neurological problem, I inform them that sometimes a person or a situation is their migraine headache. I then ask about their significant other and about their work life. One lady laughingly accused me of eavesdropping on her life. Eight times out of ten we can cure their migraine headache problem by eliminating their problem. Sometimes they have to run or walk away. There's nothing wrong with that.
I love people from Fiji 🇫🇯. I’ve met a Fijian woman and we talked about how we were related. She had an Afro and was dark-skinned. She told me that I was welcome to come anytime. She was on vacay in Hawaii for shopping at Ross. 🤭 🛍️ I know I talked her head off. 👩🏽 🌈 💖
So healing to hear you speak about Australians. I've had an awful time with them everywhere. So much discrimination even directed at me as a Black woman. You are SO ON POINT with the JoBurg. LOVE it there more than Capetown but it is not for the weak and safe concerns. Thank you for being a virtual mentor for me. I don't have mature Queens in my family who have taken these leaps. I tune into your videos all the time for the inspiration. I am definitely prioritizing Love and places where Black women are desired- married and honored outside of the U.S.= Peace
You know all this, as you’ve just explained, my question, why do you go to places where you’re not wanted? Learn to reconcile with your own people, there is no where in this world for you to run, sentiment, is only skin deep, how other cultures feel about you is ancestrally engrained. Meaning just because someone is nice to you, it doesn’t reflect how they actually feel about you.
@@Gallus7631How do you know that a person may not find security and acceptance elsewhere? What is the problem with looking outside, making moves for the future. You sound insecure even bitter. Have you never felt the desire to explore?
So I think you should get yourself out of America, sell up everything you own and move to an all black country, why would you live such a miserable existence forever being inferior, white America is not the same as multi cultural australia so if you have an awful time with them wherever you go I would say your carrying your culture everywhere you go. As a human being I have never met any one else that wasn't but not always sociable. 😢.
It would not be safe especially for black females to socialise around Australians. Australia full of white supremacist colonial types as country isolated from rest of world , no accountability for racism there.
I love you so much, Stephanie! The words that come out of your mouth = poetry!! "MEN WALK AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES ALL THE TIME!" LOL. Enjoying your content! It's Diamond The Home Girl -- I'm on my other YT channel. XO!
They've already started. I watched one rant at a poor salesperson today at Macy's because she wouldn't give him a bag. He hadn't made a purchase, so it's against Simon mall policy. He went off and started yelling that he could tell she was Kamala Harris supporter (pronounced wrong, of course). And I just thought " It's already starting. " I'm so glad I don't work with the public anymore.
You are correct, last month My sisters and I were exiting my car going into the grocery store. ( I live in southern California) . A white woman out of nowhere went on a racist rant towards us. I told them, this will only be the beginning. But she was about to find out we wasn’t the ones
GIRL!! I'm here for the title alone!! My mom is elderly and I have a couple of other elders in the family that I'm close to. When they are called before the LORD, I'm out. Am following your insightful videos and beginning to make plans.
Catching this on the replay and it is everything! From the banishment of the trolls, and "I don't see color" folks, to all the real talk about our status in the US... I am here for it ALL! Thank you, Stephanie for this truth telling LIVE!
I’m Dutch decent by way of Colonization In Ghana 🇬🇭. I am seriously considering doing this as I am in the world of Corporate America aka A Real Plantation. I’m ready to make a power move. Yes it’s serious for me. I lost my adult children emotionally and mentally to this world. This world was beautifully made for every single one of us to indulge and partake. I have my passport active and up to date ready to go!
@@joycewilliams1017 thank you for the encouragement… leaving is A MUST at this point. i have worked as a nurse for the last 15 years, but i am now building a career as a health coach and speaker. My six children are grown… i am ready to do ME
Even as a black man, I still feel as if I can relate. I love this raw discussion. You are correct. They never wanted us here from the get go. I do plan on leaving.
The majority (aka usually trumpies) only want us here to be their slaves and nothing more. They shout “pull yourselves up by the bootstraps” and then sue you for creating a venture capital fund for black ppl 😂
I was so glad to participate in this live. 2nd time watching on Replay. Babylon is falling!!! USA is imploding on itself. Let’s continue to keep hope and leave Babylon black women ✌🏽. Let’s go ExodUS Summit Sisters 🌎!
SHOUT OUT, dear sister Stephanie. The way you said:"Leave the video and/or leave the country, if you don't feel comfortable." is very very powerfull. Keep doing the good works and be blessed.
Yes, she's telling the truth. 💕 Love and healing to all on this journey. Keep your eyes open to the truth. I started watching a year ago and she just keeps getting better.
Hello All! Watching the replay and loving it. With the stress and anxiety going on here in the states today I am going to need that sabbatical after. Nov 5th.
I agree. The term ,Human trafficking, wasn’t used back in the day. Colonizers are essentially criminals. But, the inter generational results of trauma as well as the lack of subsequent retribution has made a definite impact. The attempt to legally suppress our history (eg in the state of Florida) has further added insult to injury.
Thank you for being unapologetic about your perspective. It is refreshing, honest, and speaks for so many of us. I am so tired of being told to suck it and live with it.
There’s a time and reason for everything. You are seeing it now because it’s time. Maybe you don’t realize it yet. But you will. God says “ be still”. When you are quiet and listen…. You will get your answers. Blessings 🙏🏼
In another video she recommend the ABC (Aruba Barbados Curaçao) islands. However there are many white people in Aruba ( not as many Americans outside of the tourist areas)
You are still black wherever you go! Hatred of black people is everywhere. Stop fear-mongering. If you have a family and/or a job, you will NOT have the luxury of flying all over the world...trying to avoid racism.
@@chayo4537you obviously don't get it so I'll help you. We're all grown folks here and children are 🚫🚭 allowed along with others that don't look, talk, walk or speak the same language. So, fine your platform I'm sure you won't have trouble 😉 doing so. There are More of us than there are of you..
Love to hear you laugh. I agree with people who claim that we built this country. I will not turn down reparations. HOWEVER, it is very healthy to leave an unhealthy relationship. I am sure that folks told Harriet Tubman that she was being disloyal and selfish.
Absolutely the U. S. A is terrible. Caucasians....(No such thing as white people)... extremely racist, ridiculous and dangerous.. Black People are indeed in denial unfortunately..
I lived briefly in Antigua W.I. It felt so gooood to not be discounted and oppresed based on my color. So many great people ran. James Baldwin, Tina Turner, Paul Robeson, WEB DuBoise. On and on.
Start? We are in the Handmaid’s Tale. I’m out. And it won’t end in 4 years - the country is red except the outlying northeast and the west coast. Plus it’s the senate, the representatives, the courts. I thought about staying to fight then I was like nah, I’m done. I didn’t ask to be born in the US but I can sure as hell choose my destiny from this moment forward.
Loved this episode, thanks for all the move abroad suggestions. Certain people just don’t like us sisters having agency and making decisions for our best interest. A number of wealthy white people move out of the US all the time, they may have second homes in other countries, no one say anything. US is working for them yet some still decide to move abroad , it just a natural thing for any human to want to go someplace else to get a better “something.” At this point in time , regardless of social class. If a black woman once to move her and her family abroad it should be cheered.
I live in Mérida, Mexico.❤ I feel respected as a human here. The locals are very helpful, welcoming, and friendly. The only hate I've experienced here was from a couple of Canadian women who brought their "stuff" with them.
@@turquoise_sea3319 So glad you didn’t let fear stop you……that’s all I heard Mexico was dangerous. Thank God for all the beautiful people informing and educating us.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. After almost a year I left Merida for the States. Man, oh, man! It is so tiring, but after stacking some Denaro's I am coming back. As Stephanie says, I have "location freedom" and it is a refreshing way to live.
I've been in Merida 3 and a half years... This is truly home. People are easy going and we are learning patience, how to detox from the north, and how to become human again.
A good term to use regarding what happened to us after slavery is "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome". This is also the title of a book written by Joy DeGruy.
It's also explains why we have such difficulties letting go of a country that has never treated us as a colloctive with a modicum of humanity and decency. This is a good term that explains the mindset of not wanting to leave a spiritually, mentally and physically toxic country.
Not sure why the title put me off initially but once I read the book, I realized that far from making me a victim or a person without agency, the book empowered me by helping me understand my home training. Also, the title is perfect. Can’t recommend the book enough.
That author is a vicious misogynoir perpetrator- she says in that book that Black women domestic abuse survivors bring on their own abuse by being mouthy. No. No. No.
I’m an Asian American subscriber and I really understand what you are saying. Although our past has different stories, we share the same otherness, the not belonging, the always being “less-than” in the US. Thank you for your video.
You were right they (and right wing Latinos, speaking as someone half Mexican living in a south border state) lost their minds again…. Came straight to this live lol
Love love this video! I took my mum to Kenya for my birthday last year and we had the best time! We did Tanzania in 2020 and found it a little hard due to the language barrier but just over the border in Kenya almost everyone speaks English. We stayed in Westlands, a mid-high end neighbour hood, security and bag scanners at entrance, key cards to get up to the apartments, roof top pool, sauna and steam, gym, EVERYTHING! Don't be put off Africa ladies! The cost of food, and uber's are super affordable! We have a playlist you can check out, to see for yourself. We spent 2 weeks there and it will FOREVER have a place in our hearts Will be off to Joburg soon, looking forward to it!
Good afternoon. Just came across you today for the first time and subscribed. NO Worries 50 & Fab. Your Beautiful. Thank you for your work. Peace & Blessing.
Wow. I was just sharing a post about Tranquilo/Tranquila. I am so glad to hear I'm not alone at how that makes me feel even more calm and reminds me how much more chiller it is as I am traveling. Thank you!!

Wish I had done that. I’m worried about leaving my family and friends who refuse to go.
Stephanie is a Pioneer in the BW Exodus. Thank You Stephaie for being brave for us!
Many, many, many "pioneers" _Before_ her. But modern social media would inform us otherwise.
@@shotelco If you can understand good grammar, @kyieberry said "a" pioneer, not "the" pioneer. Stop hating and being ignorant.
@@hanagreen1909 I understand the literal dictionary based definition of "Pioneer": " Develop, or be the *_First_* to use a new method, area of knowledge, or activity". However I also understand "Sapphire" logic, so I humbly apologize for my ignorance.
@@shotelco Right. My response was about knowing the difference between the definite and indefinite articles "a" vs. "the." It has nothing to do with a dictionary definition of "Pioneer." It's okay, everyone makes mistakes. But when you're corrected, you can accept the correction like an adult, or resort to name calling like a child. It's your choice.
Sapphire logic? Jealous bitter hateful blk mn alert...why come here when you obviously do not like Black women. The women here won't say or admit it but they are also fleeing blk mn like you.
Your honesty is refreshing. Most people won't say these things out loud. Thank you. And, there is nothing wrong with running away from something harmful. As a medical provider when I see a lady in a clinic with migraine headaches, even before we discuss the possibility of a neurological problem, I inform them that sometimes a person or a situation is their migraine headache. I then ask about their significant other and about their work life. One lady laughingly accused me of eavesdropping on her life. Eight times out of ten we can cure their migraine headache problem by eliminating their problem. Sometimes they have to run or walk away. There's nothing wrong with that.
Sage advice. Many diseases start in the mind. ❤
My wife and I will be moving for good in Playa Del Carmen Mexico next. Forever
If possible post a video of your experience. I was considering Playa , Tulim, or Puerto Vallarta.
Yes, I've been wanting to go there!! 😏
I love people from Fiji 🇫🇯. I’ve met a Fijian woman and we talked about how we were related. She had an Afro and was dark-skinned. She told me that I was welcome to come anytime. She was on vacay in Hawaii for shopping at Ross. 🤭 🛍️ I know I talked her head off. 👩🏽 🌈 💖
😆😆😆
❤❤❤
Replay gang! We will NEVER be considered here as whole and human. This was never setup to be your permanent home! 📢 📢
However it is, native to this land
Exaactly, it's these Neanderthals that's out of place
@@leesaleesa8819 Native still doesn’t mean I have to stay here lol
Expat and chill ~ 2025 goals
Yes please!
I am here after the election. Feeling numb and so excited to find this channel.
I love that you haven't softened your message over the years to accommodate them. 🎉❤👍🏾
So healing to hear you speak about Australians. I've had an awful time with them everywhere. So much discrimination even directed at me as a Black woman. You are SO ON POINT with the JoBurg. LOVE it there more than Capetown but it is not for the weak and safe concerns.
Thank you for being a virtual mentor for me. I don't have mature Queens in my family who have taken these leaps. I tune into your videos all the time for the inspiration.
I am definitely prioritizing Love and places where Black women are desired- married and honored outside of the U.S.= Peace
You know all this, as you’ve just explained, my question, why do you go to places where you’re not wanted? Learn to reconcile with your own people, there is no where in this world for you to run, sentiment, is only skin deep, how other cultures feel about you is ancestrally engrained. Meaning just because someone is nice to you, it doesn’t reflect how they actually feel about you.
@@Gallus7631How do you know that a person may not find security and acceptance elsewhere? What is the problem with looking outside, making moves for the future. You sound insecure even bitter. Have you never felt the desire to explore?
You are cursed with beauty ❤. Goddess divine. You deal with it brilliantly!
So I think you should get yourself out of America, sell up everything you own and move to an all black country, why would you live such a miserable existence forever being inferior, white America is not the same as multi cultural australia so if you have an awful time with them wherever you go I would say your carrying your culture everywhere you go. As a human being I have never met any one else that wasn't but not always sociable. 😢.
It would not be safe especially for black females to socialise around Australians. Australia full of white supremacist colonial types as country isolated from rest of world , no accountability for racism there.
Watching the replay.
When I saw the title I laughed out loud!!! Saying what I think out loud... 😂
You’re essential Stephanie ❤
I love you so much, Stephanie! The words that come out of your mouth = poetry!! "MEN WALK AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES ALL THE TIME!" LOL. Enjoying your content! It's Diamond The Home Girl -- I'm on my other YT channel. XO!
You are the first person I thought about this morning after these election results.. I’m so glad you did this video before, it’s right on time.😢❤
So glad this video was waiting for me. I cannot sleep tonight after the election results and this is exactly what my soul needs. THANK YOU 🙏🏾
❤
3 weeks later still can’t sleep looking to move for 🕊️☮️
It's the title For Me😭😂😂😂😂
You are so pretty, love your hair.
Sorry black people I’m really sorry. As a woman I fear for our rights being rolled back and they want to take rights from the black community as well.
They are soon to control all forms of government. They will.
❤❤❤🙋🏾👋🏾 Hi Sis, just telling the Truth and Shaming The Un--conscious, SPEAKING TO THE WOKE & CONSCIOUS👍🏾 Thank you Dearest Beloved...
They've already started. I watched one rant at a poor salesperson today at Macy's because she wouldn't give him a bag. He hadn't made a purchase, so it's against Simon mall policy. He went off and started yelling that he could tell she was Kamala Harris supporter (pronounced wrong, of course). And I just thought " It's already starting. " I'm so glad I don't work with the public anymore.
You are correct, last month My sisters and I were exiting my car going into the grocery store. ( I live in southern California) . A white woman out of nowhere went on a racist rant towards us. I told them, this will only be the beginning. But she was about to find out we wasn’t the ones
GIRL!! I'm here for the title alone!! My mom is elderly and I have a couple of other elders in the family that I'm close to. When they are called before the LORD, I'm out. Am following your insightful videos and beginning to make plans.
My mother finally passed this past February after a lengthy illness!
I am free!
@@kittykatz4001 - Enjoy!!
@@GrowingAndGlowing123 - Yep! Yep!!
Same! My brother and my mom I have left to care for and then I’m OWT!
@@GrowingAndGlowing123 Yess! Enjoy time left with grandma, and be safe!
Catching this on the replay and it is everything! From the banishment of the trolls, and "I don't see color" folks, to all the real talk about our status in the US... I am here for it ALL! Thank you, Stephanie for this truth telling LIVE!
Wife and I moving to Playa Del Carmen next year. For good!!!! Spend the rest of our lives seeing the world
I just LOVE YOUR HAIR. Honestly, it's beautiful. And so are you.
SHE WEARS HER NATURAL BEAUTIFUL HAIR OUT BECAUSE SHE IS A REAL FREE WOMAN STANDING IN HER TRUTH 😇🙏🏽🙌🏾
With a title like this, I definitely need to tune in!!💯😁
I love everything about this group. I love the fact we have to say good morning in the chat, and we are unapologetically opting out to rest
I’m Dutch decent by way of Colonization In Ghana 🇬🇭. I am seriously considering doing this as I am in the world of Corporate America aka A Real Plantation. I’m ready to make a power move. Yes it’s serious for me. I lost my adult children emotionally and mentally to this world. This world was beautifully made for every single one of us to indulge and partake. I have my passport active and up to date ready to go!
me too…
Take your healing journey and you won't regret it. Life is about living and loving you can't lose.
@@joycewilliams1017 thank you for the encouragement… leaving is A MUST at this point. i have worked as a nurse for the last 15 years, but i am now building a career as a health coach and speaker. My six children are grown… i am ready to do ME
Academia the same. HBCUs too perhaps to a lesser extent.
We must be world citizens. Not be Provençal. This world is our home and playground.
Even as a black man, I still feel as if I can relate. I love this raw discussion. You are correct. They never wanted us here from the get go. I do plan on leaving.
The majority (aka usually trumpies) only want us here to be their slaves and nothing more. They shout “pull yourselves up by the bootstraps” and then sue you for creating a venture capital fund for black ppl 😂
They DID want us here as slaves. Now that slavery has ended, we became competition, i.e. the enemy.
Yes here after the "election" I am happy I prepared for this just need to see what places are on the horizon 😊
Hi Stephanie, You’re looking cute girl! No worries. Your melanin is everything! ❤😊
I absolutely LOVE CURACO ❤ I travel often and this is the only place I come back to over and over again!
I absolutely love this space. Thank Stephanie for building this platform 💜
You are on point! Thank you so much! Let's re- imagine PEACE.❤
I was so glad to participate in this live. 2nd time watching on Replay. Babylon is falling!!! USA is imploding on itself. Let’s continue to keep hope and leave Babylon black women ✌🏽. Let’s go ExodUS Summit Sisters 🌎!
Black people.... Yes women, but also black people.
@@ObedientPurityExactly this is a Bw's channel, he could easily go to a male channel. They are so annoying
SHOUT OUT, dear sister Stephanie. The way you said:"Leave the video and/or leave the country, if you don't feel comfortable." is very very powerfull.
Keep doing the good works and be blessed.
Yes, she's telling the truth. 💕 Love and healing to all on this journey. Keep your eyes open to the truth. I started watching a year ago and she just keeps getting better.
Hello All! Watching the replay and loving it. With the stress and anxiety going on here in the states today I am going to need that sabbatical after. Nov 5th.
I agree. The term ,Human trafficking, wasn’t used back in the day. Colonizers are essentially criminals. But, the inter generational results of trauma as well as the lack of subsequent retribution has made a definite impact. The attempt to legally suppress our history (eg in the state of Florida) has further added insult to injury.
Definitely run from danger! When it comes to danger....I'm a runner, I'm a track star!
😂😂😂
Came here the morning after the election. Thank you for creating this space and this content. ❤
I love the truthfulness of this video.
Thank you for being unapologetic about your perspective. It is refreshing, honest, and speaks for so many of us. I am so tired of being told to suck it and live with it.
Why couldn't I come across this type of information when I was childless and single.
There’s a time and reason for everything. You are seeing it now because it’s time. Maybe you don’t realize it yet. But you will. God says “ be still”. When you are quiet and listen…. You will get your answers. Blessings 🙏🏼
i’m childless by choice i still date but, i have the freedom to go where i want & i shall!!
I loved Aruba! They thought my husband was a native. They treated us like family. We loved it so much, we were looking at properties. 🌞🥰😎
In another video she recommend the ABC (Aruba Barbados Curaçao) islands. However there are many white people in Aruba ( not as many Americans outside of the tourist areas)
@@arcee0712Bonaire
Hi! Thank you for listing the seven steps to moving abroad! The research and discovery begins ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely agree with you 💯... We have never been accepted or built this country voluntary...
So youre gonna escape by going all around the world? 😂 you're still In this world! 😂
W@@chayo4537there's a difference between the world and this country
Where did she say she’s escaping?
You are still black wherever you go! Hatred of black people is everywhere. Stop fear-mongering. If you have a family and/or a job, you will NOT have the luxury of flying all over the world...trying to avoid racism.
@@chayo4537you obviously don't get it so I'll help you. We're all grown folks here and children are 🚫🚭 allowed along with others that don't look, talk, walk or speak the same language. So, fine your platform I'm sure you won't have trouble 😉 doing so. There are More of us than there are of you..
Hi! Watching the replay and this video is right on time for so many of us. Thanks Stephanie ❤
Love to hear you laugh. I agree with people who claim that we built this country. I will not turn down reparations. HOWEVER, it is very healthy to leave an unhealthy relationship. I am sure that folks told Harriet Tubman that she was being disloyal and selfish.
You give the best advice Sis!!🙏🏽🙏🏽Thku!!
Omg!! I love your hair!! You’re BEAUTIFUL!! I love YOU!! And you got me cracking up with this ONE!! 😂😂
Timing is EVERYTHING; and YOUR IS PERFECT, Ms. Stephanie! THANK YOU!!!!!
Absolutely the U. S. A is terrible.
Caucasians....(No such thing as white people)... extremely racist, ridiculous and dangerous.. Black People are indeed in denial unfortunately..
This was great. But your videos always are. Thank you for being you.
Thank you for this!! Needing a break is an underestimate! 😅 I'm wanting to run out of here!
Look here ... woke up and this popped as soon as I opened YT. Chile...where we going?
It's true, Stephanie. I've been watching for 4 years, and you look just as lovely as ever
As usual, Thanks for keeping it ALL the way real....Much respect
I love these videos and I can’t imagine life without this community!
Just found it today
I lived briefly in Antigua W.I. It felt so gooood to not be discounted and oppresed based on my color. So many great people ran. James Baldwin, Tina Turner, Paul Robeson, WEB DuBoise. On and on.
Start? We are in the Handmaid’s Tale. I’m out. And it won’t end in 4 years - the country is red except the outlying northeast and the west coast. Plus it’s the senate, the representatives, the courts. I thought about staying to fight then I was like nah, I’m done. I didn’t ask to be born in the US but I can sure as hell choose my destiny from this moment forward.
Stephanie is just giving us options - I appreciate you❤
Loved this episode, thanks for all the move abroad suggestions.
Certain people just don’t like us sisters having agency and making decisions for our best interest.
A number of wealthy white people move out of the US all the time, they may have second homes in other countries, no one say anything. US is working for them yet some still decide to move abroad , it just a natural thing for any human to want to go someplace else to get a better “something.”
At this point in time , regardless of social class. If a black woman once to move her and her family abroad it should be cheered.
I live in Mérida, Mexico.❤
I feel respected as a human here. The locals are very helpful, welcoming, and friendly. The only hate I've experienced here was from a couple of Canadian women who brought their "stuff" with them.
When I went to Mexico. They where welcoming and friendly ,So that's true
@@turquoise_sea3319 So glad you didn’t let fear stop you……that’s all I heard Mexico was dangerous. Thank God for all the beautiful people informing and educating us.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. After almost a year I left Merida for the States. Man, oh, man! It is so tiring, but after stacking some Denaro's I am coming back.
As Stephanie says, I have "location freedom" and it is a refreshing way to live.
@meliw4142 Great for you! You know you'll find more peace here! ❤️
I've been in Merida 3 and a half years... This is truly home. People are easy going and we are learning patience, how to detox from the north, and how to become human again.
YOU LOOKING GORGEOUS ❤😂🎉
Good morning. Some people will be left behind.
I couldn't imagine living in the US great video. This video is going to be timeless 🔥👌🏾
A good term to use regarding what happened to us after slavery is "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome". This is also the title of a book written by Joy DeGruy.
It's also explains why we have such difficulties letting go of a country that has never treated us as a colloctive with a modicum of humanity and decency. This is a good term that explains the mindset of not wanting to leave a spiritually, mentally and physically toxic country.
I do believe in biological memory.
Not sure why the title put me off initially but once I read the book, I realized that far from making me a victim or a person without agency, the book empowered me by helping me understand my home training. Also, the title is perfect. Can’t recommend the book enough.
That author is a vicious misogynoir perpetrator- she says in that book that Black women domestic abuse survivors bring on their own abuse by being mouthy. No. No. No.
@@sr2291”epigenetics” is a term for that. It’s really fascinating bc it’s not the genes themselves but the proteins formed around them
I’m an Asian American subscriber and I really understand what you are saying. Although our past has different stories, we share the same otherness, the not belonging, the always being “less-than” in the US. Thank you for your video.
You Asian people treat black people badly just like yt white people.
Yall voted for Trump at 50% yall are complicit with this fckery.
Apparently we have almost nothing in common, FR FR.
You were right they (and right wing Latinos, speaking as someone half Mexican living in a south border state) lost their minds again…. Came straight to this live lol
They didn’t lo sé their minds they just along with white supremacy.
Love love this video! I took my mum to Kenya for my birthday last year and we had the best time! We did Tanzania in 2020 and found it a little hard due to the language barrier but just over the border in Kenya almost everyone speaks English. We stayed in Westlands, a mid-high end neighbour hood, security and bag scanners at entrance, key cards to get up to the apartments, roof top pool, sauna and steam, gym, EVERYTHING! Don't be put off Africa ladies! The cost of food, and uber's are super affordable! We have a playlist you can check out, to see for yourself. We spent 2 weeks there and it will FOREVER have a place in our hearts Will be off to Joburg soon, looking forward to it!
@lifeinprogressUK
Are there any whites in the vicinity and where because I really don’t want to be in the same space as them.
I like how real you are….. speaking truth……and providing us with places that allows us to take a well deserved mental and physical rest.
Hello. Only 2 minutes into the video and I just subscribed. These are the type of videos I need right now.
Let’s go!
Good afternoon. Just came across you today for the first time and subscribed. NO Worries 50 & Fab. Your Beautiful. Thank you for your work. Peace & Blessing.
Thanks for the info Queen and me and my wife have been discussing this topic for a while now and happy Veterans Day to you from a vet Peace and Love
Good afternoon Ms. Stephanie. I appreciate you and your videos.❤ 6:11
I love this. Thank you ❤️
Speak Stephanie, we are treated as second class citizens. And I want to find my peace. And I don't see it happening in the US.
Wow. I was just sharing a post about Tranquilo/Tranquila. I am so glad to hear I'm not alone at how that makes me feel even more calm and reminds me how much more chiller it is as I am traveling. Thank you!!
Hello... this video came thru on my feed, and I Love It!!!
Hello🤎 This title is spot on! We don't owe AMERICA nothing and EXODUS is a choice.💯
