It’s amazing how the Jamaican people have made such an impact in the world !
Sir Xavier I don't know who gave you this idea, but trust me bro you find it!! This that you're doing I don't think you even understand the magnitude of effect that your vlogs have on us your viewers/subscribers and I'm also Jamaican in another country too! Bless up and keep up the good work
I met a load of Zambians in the UK. This is the first time I am getting a peek at life in Zambia from a Caribbean national.
Really great interview, thank you.
I visited Zambia for a month about 20 years ago with my ex husband who is Zambian. I’m of Jamaican British origin .... love the people, food, rich culture and wildlife 💕

Although we’re so small....we are everywhere.....Jamaica representing!
Xavier - thanks for this program, I throughly enjoyed it. I tell other Jamaican about it. Keep up the good work. Pow, pow, pow! Barbara
You are not small, for we look alike, except for the accents and the culture.
Jamaican music is so loved by many African people, in Zambia Bob Marley,Ziggy, Culture, Don Carlos, Jimmy Cliff,Peter Tosha etc
I Love Zambia
Enjoy this project which takes you around the world. Very informative program. Good job!
@@JamaicanInZambia Hello, Am here in Zambia too. I remember chatting to you.
To add on to the part where Denise recalls her history and rightly says Zambia was called Northern Rhodesia before its independence, after 1964 when we got independence from the Brits (I am Zambian by the way), Zambia hosted the liberation struggle freedom fighters from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia and Angola. They had their HQs in Lusaka and we even built colleges for them to get skills as they prepared to go and run their countries eventually.
Reggae Music by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Culture, Eric Donaldson...the list endless was a very integral part of our music scene because it was liberation music and was so appropriate for the times. I was a kid growing up in the 70s and the only music we listened to apart from our own Zambian #Zamrock and #Kalindula music was reggae and really Roots Reggae. I am 50 years old now and reggae is my default music as a result.
Just to add to the excellent interview of the graceful Denise.
Peace, Love and Harmony.
Such an engaging lady.
Good interview. It does make a difference when an interviewee both answers the questions and expand on the points.
Anyone else only interested in the interviews of Jamaicans anywhere in Africa 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️? I've lived in parts of Europe and the U.S, but all my interest now is in Africa.
Same here thinking about Ethiopia
That why we say Africa must Unite because its children want to come home.
They are going back home slowly but surely. Rasta has being singing about it for years and now it's happening.
We must not want to go home we MUST go home
Love this interaction and the series. Some of us can never afford to visit these places....so it’s enlightening and exciting learning about these far fetched places. Thanks for the journey!!

Great interview as always Xavier. And great interviewee Denise. She need to open the patty shop and introduce it there. Loved her mention of home in Jamaica at Ewarton at the foot of Mt Rosser. I stopped to buy bread there many times while going to or coming from Ocho Rios Thanx to your informative vids Xavier and that of several African vloggers the curtain on the REAL AFRICA is opened up and reveals a gorgeous place/continent. It is because of these videos i visited Tanzania and Kenya recently and now i cant wait to visit the rest of it. The splendor and grandness of this visually stunning green and tropical.continent is unparralled. Can't wait to return and ultimately move there from the west. We diaspora blacks, are from.an amazing place! Big ups and blessings Mama Africa and its people!
I am so happy Denise you are in Zambia. Xavier you must get on the plane and experience Zambia for yourself. I am sure Denise has picked up a few Zambian dances.
Great Interview Family.
Denise big up, well spoken.
From 🇯🇲🇨🇦 with nuff 💖
wow. I love african story as a Jamaican .
I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed this one. She kept on mentioning how many years she had worked here and there but when you add up she doesn't even look close to the average age for all that work experience. I would welcome a part 2 to this interview.
I share your observation. I'm here asking myself how young is this lady, she is aging graciously.
I call it the 'No Stress Factor'.
From Canada with nuff.😙
Enjoying the conversation a Zambian based in Seychelles,Murphus visit Zambia you will never regret.
I’m living in Zambia too. Where are my fellow Jamaicans in Zambia?
How is life there for you? Rolling in soon 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@afiyakemarafa1997 it is great! Just miss ackee and saltfish
I love how my Africans love their own black people. Oh sweet Africa
This interview is full of laughter she is sweet
you are welcome to Zambia, the land of peace and joy
🇿🇲 here that grew up around people that listened to Jamaican music. As an adult I made it a point to put Jamaica on my top 10 list of places to visit..2019 right before covid hit I finally made it to Montego bay and Negril and I am still blown away....Can't wait to go back. You are very right about the similarities with west African traits and spices in the food though 😂
Good to hear about your visit to Motengo Bay & Negril. I plan to visit there in the future
Glad you made it!
Another good one Xavier.. I always thought they should change the name of Victoria Falls.
Hello Miss Immaculate! Ad Astra per Aspera! To the stars through difficulty! Keep shinning my fellow alumna.
Thought that was Mt. Alvernia for a hot second, seeing Ad Astra per Aspera

Jamaica is a big country on a small land.
My sister you and your family should feel right at home in Zambia. Never ever consider yourself foreigner in Zambia or anywhere else in Africa.
That's so nice and comforting, thank you.
We’ll bring our flavours and mix in. What a vibe, it’s clear that we need Patty shops let’s do it people. Great interview All smiles.
What she said about Zambian people its true, we are reserved people , I am Zambian and I live in Europe at the moment but whenever I interact with my brothers from West Africa the Energy is way to high in them compared to a typical Zambian .
Awesome! I’m also a Jamaican currently in Zambia 💚
Yesss Bride price is a must! 😂

To be very honest l do fulljoy your program, its refreshing to hear Jamaicans all over Africa fulljoying the mother land, and Jamaicans are so highly appreciated in Africa. I myself have been to the mother land a few times, and a must say they see Jamaicans as Gods, yes we're highly appreciate in Africa. It does feel like Jamaica, but more peacefull, which feels like heaven. I really do love your programs, especially Africa keep it going, nuff love, nuff respect bro👍🏾💯💥🙏🏿

Lovely educational conversation very informative blessings hope to visit some time coming
I heard Zambia is beautiful and I will be going to visit in Zambia in March 2021 my guy is from there... I’m very interested in seeing the country....
Are you here now?
Wow she has a wealth of experience in Africa
Another enlightening video guys.
Denise welcome to Zambia. You can't feel out of home plus English is spoken and you look like a Zambian lady hey but more like a Ghanaian. Kalibu.
Lovely interview. Enjoy your time in Zambia & feel at home in a different way. Thanks for your your wonderful educational work.
Yes Denise, the British proposed grouping their former colonies into federations before granting independence.. The West Indies Federation fell apart and so did the Federation of Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the independent countries now called Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi. Since some countries are
landlocked, I understand the proposals better. In the early 1960s, there was such changes in the British Colonial world to learn and absorb. Jamaicans are living in some of these places now.
love every episode, been binge watching since I buck up inah di first one about ghana
Great job, happy i found your channel.
We as Black people. Must get to know our history and Culture , Where we're Coming. from
She's so right re Victoria Falls, sailed down Zambezi River and also saw the Falls a few years ago with friends. It's breathtaking especially if you experience it from the helicopter tour offered. Didn't get across to Zambia, so it's on the to do list.
I love this one. I hope to meet her.

Thanks Brother, for sharing these interesting stories .
I am from mt roster now live in Ocho Rios hi Denise
I need to visit Africa soon
Jamaica a small inland with big heart. African share the same struggle with Jamaica, they are all Colonialise People. The music of Reggae touch African heart. Jamaica Music is music of struggle, that contributed to liberation struggle.
If u think reggae is popular in Zambia or Ghana, wait till you go to The Gambia u will be surprise
God bless Africa

An Awesome and beautiful lady indeed.

How can i contact Denise
Hey 👋🏾
Murphy you're not a very good presenter you're not listening to your guests she already tell you how long she was living in Africa and asking her the same thing again and your questions are very weak and boring you need to ask your guests how people can make money in Africa ya dig ☝🏾💰
No field rats, no crocodile, no cats, no bats..so Zsmbia, only visiting .
Can I get in touch with her please
Hi 👋🏾
@@deniseclarke4667 am a Zambia living in Jamaica, glad to see u in my country
C
I have no problems with Jamaica being where I'm from. I'm not searching for a new spiritual home. By the way, my father is Jewish, born and brought up in Jamaica. Shall I cut myself in half and send one half of me to Israel and the other half to Ghana? JAMAICA is my home!!!
No, you don't have to divide yourself in two!! We can visit these much older civilizations and learn. If funds and time permit, it would be good to see Israel and Ghana. I visited Israel and the Bible came alive for me there. To visit places where the patriarchs lived and Jesus walked was a pilgrimage for me. When this pandemic is over, Ghana is in my sights. We can love Jamaica but Marcus Garvey cautioned us to not swap a continent, Africa, for an island. The history of the Hebrew people from which your Dad is descended is well documented. The Hebrews' struggles, their quest for God, slavery, freedom, loss of homeland, and triumph against the odds are so well documented. Their sacred book informs and touches the heart, so that many people in the world borrow the words of the Hebrews' story to depict their own plight. I hope that you will visit these places if you can.Shalom, Peace be with you.
You can’t see the fullness of Vic falls on the Zambian side
Very true. You can't see the full Vic falls on the Zim side either. Both sides have good views of the falls & that's why it is always good to see both sides if one has the time. However, even just seeing the Vic falls on either side is thrilling.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHEN THE VICTORIA FALLS ITS SELF IS IN ZAMBIA.
Another famous Jamaica is wife of Liberia President.
Nice Beautiful African woman
