Hi ladies. I am white and grew up in Poland in Lublin. It was quite a few years already that I left to USA but I went through 19 years of my life without seeing even one black person in public. That is true people will stare mostly because they are curious and they wouldn't believe why would you want to live in Poland. Especially older generation will have no idea about Africa or black race so they might be asking funny questions lol it is probably much better now but please don't take the stares as bad thing you might be the first black person they have ever seen 🙂
Love your reply
I love this comment, cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful reply
Yes, I am also Polish born and raised but living now in Canada. I was 18 when I first time seen a black person in reality not on the screen. The stares are really because we have no clue “ why the heck would you choose to live in Poland! There is UK, Germany, Spain…just better countries to live in as per economical aspect lol “ and definitely older generations, have never ever seen black person not even in a tv. So states are more of a curiosity, not a judgment.
Even though we study about Africa, we know quite a lot as per geography etc that would be it 🤷🏻♀️ I hope you feel welcomed and feel like at home. Polish people are great hosts and we say “Guest in the house - God in the house”
Now we have many students from abroad in Lublin, many of them are from Africa, Pakistan and India.
I have just been to Warsaw, but everyone I have talked to has spoken English fluently. It is not necessary to learn Polska to visit, but in order to integrate into the society it would be respectful.
Good advice, one day you may consider leaving Warszawa and explore polish countryside for instance seeing Zakopane, Kazimierz Dolny , Toruń, Malboark. Then you Polish 101 may come in handy: th-cam.com/video/pn-vU38phlw/w-d-xo.html
It's great to see that, even in our small city where not everyone speaks English fluently, there's a Polish-African family who has been warmly accepted by the community.
Hi ladies. I'm polish and I have to admit that I would probably stare 😂😂😂 You are both beautiful. Keep up good job👍
Thank you so much 😀
Great stuff girls! I'm so pleased that you're trying to bring our country closer to African people.
I'm Polish American and I found this very interesting. My brothers wife is African American and I have two beautiful mixed nieces. Thank you for your kind words about Poland. 💖
Thank you 😍
You're brother should not be handsome, riche or well educated. White men who date black women have been ignored by white or asian women, that's why they date black
@@stopthebullshit1796 stop being rude. My brother and his wife met in high school when they were 15 years old and are now in their 30s. They are soulmates and were each others firsts.
"Why Poland?". That cracked me up :) Maybe because many Poles if they had to choose any place in the world would not have chosen Poland. So it's a bit surprising when a foreigner decides to move here. I guess we need to learn to appreciate what we have more ;) Love.
We love to complain😂Poland is a developed, safe country with a good standard of living and beautiful nature, but we only see imperfections, that's our nature. this has its pros and cons. on the one hand, we are constantly improving, on the other hand, we do not appreciate what we already have.
@@justynadzt7728 Almost all countries have people who complain about everything, it isn't a surprise though. The fact that if one asked me why their country shows that there are other countries better than his.
Interesting insights about living in Poland if you are coming from the African continent. One thing I would like to add is that Poland unlike Western Europe and U.S did not colonize or enslave any nations in Africa. So something to keep in mind when you come to Poland - you don't have this terrible legacy of exploitations of Africans.
Well that aged nicely......
@@misshoneynevercame4832 LMAO
@@misshoneynevercame4832 what happenned?
Yes they can’t use colonialism and slavery as an excuse for wrong behaviour
Hello I'm an African coming to Poland from turkey 🇹🇷 please I need to know if I can get in contact with anyone there
I am on my way in 2 days ! Thank you so much for sharing this .. Excited to see Krakow!
how's your experience going?
@@rico.rebenga I am back in the US now but I had a wonderful time.. Only one person asked where I was from. When I spoke it seemed pretty obvious I was American .
Very interesting video 👌🏽👌🏽💕😀
I love folks from Nigeria...got 2 friends from there...really cool people! Hard working peple!
hello i am a very big fan. i like all your videos. great job my dear. keep going
About the hands.. you have the same color on all of your skin but on your hands and foot the skin is much thicker so it’s covering all the melanocytes which are still under your skin.
Welcome to Poland 🤍
I like the lady on the right🌝 calm but smiling.
Thank you
Great job
The epidermis with pigment on the hands is rubbed off - or at least I think so :P I am glad that you understand cultural differences - many do not understand it and consider something that is natural for Poles as "racism" or "rude"
Thank you for watching 😊
very interesting video, good job
right below is where you can find my link to my albulm nd more of my music
Great stuff thanks for this. So where do ladies get their hair done in Gdansk or do I have to travel out for braids?
I believe they should have someone who makes hair, you will need to ask around 😉 😊
And don't think that if someone doesn't talk to you, they don't like you right away or they're racists. People are different and may fear that they will not get along due to the lack of a common language. Often foreigners also have racial, cultural and moral prejudices against Poles and I do not mean only people from Africa, but especially people from the so-called Western world. It is difficult to lead someone out of the stereotypes about Poles.And even harder if there is a language barrier.
I had my Brazilian girlfriend visit me. She wasn't black herself but she had a dark skin, one of her grandfathers was black. After around 3 weeks we were sitting on a bus and she turns to me - babe, I think this is the first non white person I've seen in this country. Something I wouldn't notice myself but I realised that she might have felt somehow uncomfortable being the only non white person everywhere she went.
By the way, Lodz isn't "another smaller city" it's the second biggest city in Poland :)
From the historical perspective something to bare in mind is that countries with the higher number of black citizens are the countries with colonial past - UK, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain...not so much, even though they were a colonial superpower there are not that many black people there . The vast majority of European countries did not have colonies nor slavery so most of their black population is relatively new -2-3 generations resulting in labour migration of the 20th century. Eastern Europe is a case of it's own because most of the countries were occupied by more powerful neighbours in the 20th century therefore they were not a promising destination just like for instance Ireland which was occupied by UK. Then, during the WW2 most ethnic minorities were deemed inferior and persecuted by the Nazis leaving most of the Eastern bloc 99% white. During the time of communism that followed the access to those countries was limited and again, due to communism and poor economic perspectives they were not attractive for foreigners to settle in.
Oddly enough, during communism, the Soviet Union promoted racial equality, as well as sex equality. They promoted communism in some African countries and opened their borders to people from those countries. Most of the black people who lived in Poland prior to 1989 and the end of communism came from Nigeria, they were former students or university staff that arrived in Poland back in the 60's or 70's.
Krakow???
lodz/łódź funny city XD u are 3rd
Wow ..Zanzibar, karibuni.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
👍👍
Princess please am processing my Visa to study in Poland, I have HND in public administration, can I do my Postgraduate in HRM, and how long will it take, is it a 1year course? Or can I do a topup degree and what's the tuition like, I need a cheap turion please reply... 🙏
Hello, I live in Krakow and I had an English teacher from Nigeria.Earlier I lived in central Poland and my daughter had a black classmate, his father was from Ghana, I also have 2 friends and they had black husbands but they were Cuban but I didn't notice that people touched their hair, maybe in small towns
I intend coming to Poland for a year MBA program, will I have the chance to stay after my studies, despite the fact that it's a year program?
Yes, you should, as long as it is a Polish university 🙂
Czekoladki 🍫🖤🖤
Nice 👏 👏, we coming too
Same question here in Russia and same amount of stares and it's fucking scary at times.
You are Igbo, so your part of Nigeria is not bad and being Igbo is more important than being Nigerian. However, would you recommend a Polish person going to Borno state? lol
Lagos basically looks like a European city, but very few cities in Nigeria are like this.
Please make a video about your cuisine. Fried plantains, rice, yams, etc.
@Krzysztof Fialkowski, You seem to know so well about Nigeria 🙂 I have few videos where I have vlogged some Nigerian Cuisine, you can check my playlist 🙂
@@princesschichi no wahala. some oyinbo people studied with Nigerians and have Nigerian partners ;)
Please I need lots of people to reply me ...is there good job opportunities for Africans in poland? Secondly what is exchange rate of poland currency to dollar/euro?
I am local but I am victim of starring at me too. Its because I am young in city without students, so I am rare and I recive too much attention
Everyone in the world has an accent. That’s what makes us all community of human beings. We are different but should respect each other. Stay positive. Buying tickets? Proszę bilet do „name the city or płace.”
A bird a cow have a symbiotic relationship so meby people who eat lots of beef and people who eat birds are friends to.
The same in Germany, they are still curious, but good people.
I wouldn't go there before I get beat up by a racist German..
You don't respond to you message on instagram, I asked few questions.
In Poland we say "czarnoskóry" or "murzyn". This first is good version but this next isn't so nice for black people.
My english isn't good I better speak in Deutsch I live in Poland about 18 years.
Nice content girls :)
That is so interesting! When I was growing up at least in my city the word murzyn did not have any negative connotation. It was just much easier and quicker to pronounce than czarnoskory. Maybe it has changed over the years...
@@0kurkina0 It is a normal word just like latynos means latino but rasist people like to use it in bad meaning so that's why it's maybe considered not nice by some black people but it shouldn't be.
@@0kurkina0 You can also just say czarny which simply means black. But most polite form is czarnoskóry.
You are not right. Czarnoskóry and murzyn are both positive terms. 'Czarnuch' is a negative term. You would hear czarnoskóry more by politicians, teachers etc. Amongst normal people, murzyn is used. I don't know how you can say that murzyn is an offensive term.
First off - Murzyn, not murzyn. Second - you're wrong.
Murzyn is not a bad or offensive term and hasn't any pejorative overtones in it.
Can you please make a video on private health insurance , options and which is best to take ?
You mean private insurance companies in Poland or Nigeria ?
I watch your videos from Canada dada yangu 😁👍👍
Thank you for watching 🤗
I live in Dubai for 5years now it was okay to Adapt here but Experienced been black in Azerbaijan Baku when I went to visit, at first I felt why are they staring at me ? my friend was a bit Creamy I am Caramel ,but they were just been curious tho they even ask to take pictures with them or with their kids so it was as if I m the first black they ve ever seen. So I'm sure I can adapt in Poland too.🙂
You will surely adapt well :)
No wahala. Yorubas are talented people.
Awww u guys are cute ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌😍😘 I am polish born in poland with a little gypsy background but Iam now living 20 years in Canada montreal but very shortly moving back to warsaw with my family. Because economy is better in warsaw then Montreal. Poland specially warsaw is evolving fastly . Older people generation not all but a big part of it or more set back show not much emotion and seem judgmental old school but they are not. Their just mostly shocked and very intrigued by someone they probably never seen before like melanin people from different colors such us India Africa Arabic Chinese so on . But they don't realize it or they are mostly excited to not be disrespectful they just or excited because to them its like going to Hollywood. But due to the world war 2 those people always have that mentality and character so they or mot judgmental they always looking for future . Happiness and positivity they just don't understand or never seen other people then polish or white people . 😂😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌🙌😘😘😘😘 but they don't discriminate to the bad standard. Don't ever feel that way u guys are beautiful 😘😘😘😘 full of joy . Warsaw is evolving just have faith we need more people mutil cultural people like it's a honor and fun as it's already moving very fast with multi cultural people in warsaw that's a very good thing.
Thank you so much .. 🤗
Hope to meet you and your family. I am hoping to move to Poland in a few months for work. I can't wait to see POLAND!!!
Nice video princess. I’m from Nigeria too and interested in studying at Poland maybe by January/February.
Come to Poznan
Sammy Mba hey Sammy, which of the schools in poznan
Depends on what you want to study.
Sammy Mba so, I’m considering MBA. I am from Nigeria
@@paulogunwole6848 but what course?
LOVE GIRL AND FOM POLAND KRAKOW
Thank you for watching
Incredible ,how can I get work permit in poland am in kenya.
I heard that the hair touching by strangers is very common for African people. It happens in other countries as well (including the USA) so it is not only a Polish thing although Poles definitely are not as sensitive to racial issues as for example the British.
I understand that people are curious and that the hair looks georgeous but I imagine it must be very akward to be "inspected" like that by someone you don't know.
Im glad you are good-spirited about it and don't assume bad intentions automatically because usually it is just fascination... and slightly bad manners. ;)
Hi love the video, would love to study there with the amazing things you pointed out, my name is Daniel from Nigeria, would love to know fee amount for student to study for either a Postgraduate program or masters degree, and I would appreciate to get the cheapest college to study and the fee
Thanks Daniel for watching.. I have answered this question on my previous vidoes. Please watch them to get your answer 😊
Hi princess . Can you recommend to me one of the best medical University in Poland especially in the capital territory
The darker lady looks super Kenyan
Am relocating to poland in July please...is warsaw a good place?, is the warehouse job good for a black woman?
Hi , if your question is "If wasaw is good, yes it is good especially for foreigners, I am not sure of the warehouse you are referring to
If a person 70+ looks at u weirdly that propably means you're the first black chic they have ever seen 😆
Hope everyone is nice to you and serves you hospitality,
imo there's np bigger compliment than someone saying they prefer to live in PL than elsewhere so I hope you feel at home
Hi, how do I get a job in Poland? Pls help I'm in Nigeria
Great video! I'm from West Africa and I'll be moving to Poland for work soon. Katowice precisely. Will I easily find where to do my hair there?
Oh nice, katowice is also a student city🙂 about making your hair, that had been part of our struggle, what we do is to find someone who makes hair that you can either go to their house or they come to yours to help you make the hair. It's easier now as alot of students are doing it as their side hustle.🙂
Hey! I’ve been here a couple weeks in Opole
Oh wow! welcome
@@princesschichi thank you.
How do i contact for assistance ???
I do watch both of you videos I just subscribed now and are you both in the same school or city
Hi thank you for watching 😊 no we are not in the same school 😊
I lived in Lithuania and I have been in Warsaw and I think they stare less in Warsaw than here.
👋😇❤💓💓💕
Pls who are you talking about at 8:38?
Great video, beautiful smiles btw 🥰

I'm a German and I married my wife who is African, not from America but a real African. I used to be a former racist, I still mostly am but I also met many friends and my lovely wife is from Africa.
Nigga WHAT
Proud racist 😅
@@havwiscable4199 Hello there Haywis, thanks for your comment after 2 months. I believe everyone is racist inside, but its more like xenophobia which is natural. Racism is not good and I don't support it. You are a racist, too.
@@UltraTech97 babe......racism is taught not born💀
@@sheldonblair1271 nah its born.
Nigerian people are of the smartest most talented people in the world and a lot of the African American celebs have Nigerian ancestors hence it’s fair to ask if you were American, we all aren’t thaaaaaat different
It can't be the effect of the sun cuz your feet too are white under....its just nature.
Hello sister nice meet you. Last time I went to Poland I not even saw any beautiful African ladies
That's good news!
Its hard to find
You should go to America it’s a nice country
If it was me he asked about my palm being white n skin black would be breathing fire 🙆🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️😡 its the audacity of asking you be curious but don't ask anything!!! things would have turned so bad.
Poland one of the greatest country love Warsaw city.
"Why blackman has white palms?" - is widely known racist joke in Poland.
The answer is: "Because work makes nobile"
Are you from a madhouse or in a school for the underprivileged did they teach you too little?
How do you know such rude jokes, were you raised in a pigsty?
You are embarrassing Poles, you must have such complexes that you need to be treated
@@andraos1389 In Poland every school is for underprivileged people, Slavs are underprivileged, we all attend public schools. Actually I guess they taught me much more than in your American schools. ;)
I know rude jokes because I'm not deaf, nor blind, neither of short-memory.
- Why you say I'm embarassing Poles? By sharing with knowledge? Sharing knowledge is embarassing?
- What complex do you mean?
- Why are you reffering to some "madhouse" like if you have cognitive difficulties?
does live in poland a lot of black peoples in population??
Not as much as other European countries but it's growing
Chichi were you born in 1985
If you look at me, I will smile and wave at you. If you try to steal my picture, I will comfortable ask you to take my picture.😄
🤣
Do they have black people salons???
No dear, but we have individuals that can make hair 😊
Are there black people in poland
Ladies this is disrespectful you don’t touch someone without their consent! Should we do back home like this to them?
hahahah, No, let's not 😃
I have one question. Why Poland? ;)
😀😀😀
@@princesschichi hello princess I’m processing a year working visa in Poland and I want to ask how it works
What are your thoughts on the discrimination that Africans are experiencing at the polish border now?
You mean Ukrainian border, right? That's where they're blocked.
Where their accents from? English is quite well. The claim should be how is my character fits into the culture
But yours is "not quite well". 😂🤣
I'm Polish.I'm dating with black girl from Nigeria.
Omg she's so voluptuous maybe because is black...Even familiar to girl with short hair.
Same I’m dating with polish guy but I’m Jamaican
@@barb6725 people from Jamaica look like people from West Africa, as they originate from there. They are very athletic and don’t need to go to a gym to look athletic. If they work out, they stand out even more.
You need to dating polish men. You will be happy ❤❤❤
What’s it like to be white in Nigeria? Who is more at risk??
Have you seen a white bear? How many Poles are there?
i am fro kenya i have dated a polish ..we are still in a nice exprerience
Almost 20 minutes video yet no single discussion on jobs opportunities for interested Africans who wants to migrate to poland , no Visa discussion and how to get there etc..
I have videos on this,do check my Playlist
WHAT IT IS TO BE A WHITE IN NIGERIA?
Fun😀
@@princesschichi yes Fun, but how really no one knows 🤨
@15:49 Girls, of course speak English with your accent. Actually, trying to perfectly imitate a British or American accent is... degrading.
I certainly appreciate your experiences living in Poland but did you realize that you clap your hands excessively? 🤔 Only mentioned in case you didn’t realize this. It’s a bit distracting. 😜
you guys get rattled by every little fucking thing
Kit Kandoo, It's an African thing, especially Nigeria.
Why is this reccomended
Hujambo?
You need to know Polish history. Poland did not have colonies and slaves, so from where they were supposed to be blacks. Why is it so surprising. Read about Kościuszko.
What is work rate there in poland, is there much employment
Before corona there were only 4% unemployment.
@Konto Testowe Poland's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate reached 3.2 percent in July 2020, down from 3.3 in June, Eurostat, the EU's statistical office reported on Tuesday.
According to Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS), Poland's unemployment remained flat at 6.1 percent m/m in July 2020.
The discrepancy between GUS and Eurostat figures results from the use of different methodologies.
The number of unemployed registered in labour offices stood at 544,000 in July against 556,000 in June, Eurostat said.
The eurozone (EA19) seasonally-adjusted unemployment figure rose to 7.9 percent in July 2020 from 7.7 percent in June.
The EU27 average unemployment rate in July 2020 increased to 7.2 percent from 7.1 percent in the previous month.
@Konto Testowe maybe 10years ago. Now there is no emigration. Moreover Poland received 2mln Ukrainians which all found a job.
@Konto Testowe haha that guy wrote nothing but bs
You are ridiculous.
Poorando de hitobito wa futsuu ni seikatsu dekimasen (ranboo shinaide kudasai!).
May be trying to stay in the land where you were born could help?
Cry harder
I'm not asking this to incite, but more to gain understanding of your plight. MANY countries, and peoples are resistive to Blacks. Can you tell me, would it be better to complain about the situation - or- work hard to change the minds of those who dislike Blacks? It is not an unusual event that a vast numeration of people dislike Blacks, is it?
I am polish I am not a racist please don't get offended but 70% of poles are racist pretending that they are not but they are and they want to stay like this when asking silly questions like that is because it's on purpose to make you feel bad being slavic country plus people they don't want to be multicultural and no lgbt
And polish ppl must not change. Just look at France Uk, dont make the same mistake, you will regrette ! These ppl have another culture and they dont understand european culture. Moreovre by mixing with these ppl your kids will look african unfortunately
when i go to africa, or rular china or india people stare. because i look exotic to them. i don't care.
