I've never thought of you as strictly hair, beauty, or any one dimension. For me, African Export has ALWAYS been a "Lifestyle" Channel and what's made it enjoyable is your unique, candid and often hilarious perspective. You don't have to come here with the latest "purchase" because you ARE the "brand" in and of yourself and have a personality that's entertaining regardless of the topic. I think that's why most of the "family" is here and those of us who "get it" don't need disclaimers. Just do you....but do it in a video so we can enjoy you like we used to!!! Don't let YT drown in a sea of "fluff" (don't get me wrong, I have my favorite fluffy channels too). Of course we appreciate you can only film when time permits, but doggone it DO IT! HUGS, CRYSTAL
i feel the exact same way that you do with transitioning in life and yt not being the priority it once was. glad to see you and i will watch you anyway!
I like YOU. Any video you post I'll watch. Your interests and priorities have changed. I understand that completely. Your channel is a reflection of you. It grows and changes because you grow and change.
I followed African Export because she was Authentic and Unapologetic. She taught me a lot about keeping things simple as far as Natural Hair Care. I always pictured her as the type who steers away from all social media like Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Hopefully all is well with her and she is living her best life ✨✨✨✨
Hoooodyhooooooooo! AE in the house! Yeah you know, I'm ride or die, talk about whatever you talk about I'm here. Love the crochet braids. I'm in mental space about hair too, on the grow lately.
Ride or Die. Been here for four years or more I think..... Leave for what? Still the realest channel on TH-cam and probably the only person who can make me hug my screen. Do what u gotta do for yourself. We here....
I am one of those ones who is like thats my gurl!!!!!!!... i love your videos... they have helped me so much from hair, to food, make-up, etc... but i understand you have a life as well... i just want to say i appreciate all of your encouragement and natural experience that you give us!! I would like to see the journey of you growing your hair back .. since i am growing mine back too i would love to see !!along with make up , healthy food....
Good to see your face! I cut my hair into a tapered fro as well and it was growing out much faster than I thought it would, so after I got a it trimmed up this time, I said that though I love the do, it's been waaaay more maintenance than I anticipated. So, I'm growing it out. I would love to see you talk about more ideas for styling short natural hair during the grow out phase. I love watching your wig reviews, but I've never worn a wig. How about a vid on your favorite wigs that look good on almost everyone?! Thanks! Happy New Year. I don't always comment, but I do love your vids and your spirit!
Aaaaaaaaaand THIS is why we love you. Thanks for always keeping it real! I'd love to hear more about your new career and what some of your career goals are. Take care and enjoy your real life outside of TH-cam.
You look fabulous with your natural hair. I love it! I just recently went natural as of February 2015 and because of your hair review with grease and water I am reconsidering using grease again because my hair is super dry even though I use good essential oils. I remember as a child my mom using Dixie Peach grease and water in my hair which made my hair soft. Dixie Peach is mostly petroleum. So now I'm going to figure out how to mix my essential oils with my Softee hair grease. Thank God you are real with us. You are an inspiration. Also I love your wig reviews. God bless you and your family. Thank you for updating us, your audience.
Thanks for the update, been wondering where you've been! Although I initially started watching you for the natural hair videos, I agree with you that there is only so much information you can put out there without becoming repetitive. I see your channel as a lifestyle channel and I enjoy the randomness of the topics, whether your talking about relationship issues, recipes, or hair! Just come see us more often, we miss you girl!
I have missed you!! So glad that everything is great in your life and that you are entering a new chapter. Please make videos that you like, because honestly I think most of us watch because we love your energy.
I found you when I started my natural hair journey. I stayed with you because you're true to you. I like all of your videos whether it's hair, wigs, hauls, make up, just becauses, opinions about stuff, etc. You're just cool like that. Do what you do.
Happy new year! I understand that you have other things doing other than youtube!! I will like to see whatever you feel comfortable sharing, anything random. I will love to see the haul video too.
I am glad to see you back I am on the Journey with you, I like your real estate, I watch the two from March 2015. I wish I had long thick as hair. I do have long locks but if I cut them I will have short hair. Love your Vibe keep it coming
If there is anything that I miss most about your channel its the discussion videos. I love how to opened up dialogue about controversial (and not so controversial) subjects and gave your opinion on it. I love to read the different responses and povs from your viewers. And of course, I do miss you hair care videos.
I loved the vegan recipes that you have done and I tried the pasta w/alfredo, so I would love to see more videos on that.... and you look beautiful as always
Love your channel, I've been watching since before I decided to big chop two years ago and even then I went back and watched your older videos. I don't think you need to change a thing, I watch because I love your content the way you put it out. I also live that you're not pretending to be into something you're not. Congratulations on the success with the new job!
I cant wait for you to start posting videos again. I really liked your chit chat discussions...they made you think from a different perspective. I would also like to see the hair journey as well.
I'm happy to see you start growing your hair back out. I've cut my hair due to heat damage a couple of times and have been slacking off on maintaining a proper hair regimen due to the 2 new additions to my family (my 9 month old and my 11yr old nephew coming to live with us) I'm looking forward to your new journey, tips, tricks, and general advice. :) I'm still considering myself a newbie when it comes to makeup so I'm curious to see that aspect of your channel too. I also love your thoughts about current events.
One thing i love about u is ur confidence! You are a beautiful strong woman that can relate to women of all ages and nationalities. I love to see women on youtube who talk about real things that we as women may be thinking and not saying! Keep ur vids coming, and congrats on ur new career! I too am starting a new career in the field that God has purposed me to be in so i pray u the beat!
I've missed you!! Glad you are back and happy to hear you and your family are well. I am looking forward to ALLLL the videos to come! Be blessed my sista :)
Hey boo! Happy new year to you too! Yes we love you as a person. You've been SUCH a hair inspiration, even sparking me to start my own channel (thechandelierchic) and your positivity and commitment to following the beat of your own drum is a wonderful example and one that doesn't go unnoticed. As a long time subscriber and hair texture twin, I'd love to see your hair re-growth journey, some chocolate girl makeup tutorials, videos on changing careers midlife, and child hair care. Thanks for all you do, can't wait to see what comes next :-)
Good to see you! I like to see sit down videos with you, rants, your honest opinions or everyday things, not necessarily hair but just the real you videos
We miss seeing you. Please keep us informed on things you are doing, especially your new journey. Your realness about products is valuable to me and other YTers that need real help.
What ever you decide to do with your channel is up to you! I'm sure your subscribers will ride with you if your doing anything you truly love or feel passionately about. Looking forward to Export2015
I've been following your channel since I first went natural in 2010 and I love the diversity (or as you say randomness) of it. I don't always comment, but I'm so glad to see you back and look forward to your vids to come. Happy New Year - hugs!
Yeah AE! I'm so glad to see you back on the YT. I enjoy how honest your videos are. You cut all your hair off, w/o worry about losing viewers. I also like that the topics of the videos may vary. Hugs.
AF nice to see you back on the YT, and yeah life does tend to get in the way even for those of us who merely visit our various 'gurus' to see what's going on. Sometimes it maybe a week before I check in on my peeps, but I don't feel bad nor do I expect you guys to churn out the hair and makeup tuts to keep us coming back for more. In fact I enjoy your personality, your take on events in life, the world in general and for the conversation. Keep doing what you doing, happy new year😊
Good to see you as always. Whatever you come up with is just fine cause your loyal ones gonna be here no matter what!! Do you, and we'll see you when we see you. Its all good!!
I absolutely love the realness you provide. I've been subscribed to you for sometime now, and you have even motivated me to start my own channel. Please be as real and as random as you want to be. As you said your true supporters will rock with it! Thanks for coming back and ps I thought your hair cut was BAWSE!!!! I went through a similar phase like that last year and now i'm not sure where i stand in my hair journey so I am having fun with color and different wild cuts and styles until I reach an Epiphany. Keep shining and I look forward to any and all of your content. -Cheers, Annie
I love your channel and personality. How you put yourself out there just you as an individual and seeing you is an inspiration and motivation! My question to you would be could you do like a make-up tutorial video or series for beginners? I love your skin and how it always looks just flawless and resilient. I really just like to hear what you have to say and express. I enjoy all of your empowering messages from reviews of music albums to just keeping it real. I know that whatever you decide to do that it is going to be awesome because your power, support, integrity, love, and determination all shine from within❤️❤️❤️
This is exactly why I love your channel. For the "realness" you have never sugar coated anything. Keep doing you. Congrats on the new job!!! I like crochet braids can you tell me the name and brand of hair you use
More Chit Chat, I love the honesty and content of the chit chats. I am a working wife, mother and student and I live on a budget, so I actually appreciate the affordable wigs as well. I support you as a person, so whatever you do videos on is fine ((hugs))!
I would love to see some haul videos, hair vids, makeup tutorials, life vlogs, product reviews, get ready with me videos, outfit of the day videos and anything else you desire to post. I enjoy your realness and your personality. Keep doing what you do A.E.!!!!!!
Yay! Congrats on the new job. Good luck with your hair growth. Yea, share your hair, always loved that :). Whatever you are passionate about sharing works for me. You are absolutely correct, your ride or die subbies are just happy to see YOU! It don't even matter what u speaking on....HUGZ!!! Oh, and if you do do a haul please play that background music I love from your old thriftin videos. TFS. Stay blessed.
I'm late but I have missed your presence. I don't just watch for the hair information as I have been natural for a long time too and it gets draining to always discuss something that should seem like second nature for us. At any rate, miss the conversation, miss the personality and most definitely miss the reality of you. Hugs!!! Don't feel bad about not sharing all of you at certain points in time, we all have what I refer to as preservation periods where we need to regain and refocus ourselves. Do you and when you are ready, come on back and share what you deem necessary!
Just keep doing what you're doing and posting videos as and when you have time. I watch and enjoy all of your videos and have learned a lot from doing so. You have a radiant personality which makes you very watchable and entertaining and most of all you keep it real! I have been a follower for about four years via my various channels. By the way, I really love the *hugs* at the end of your videos.
I've been watching you since 2011! Your hair videos (from waaay back when) saved my head! Cuz I didn't know what I was doing after my big chop!!! Gurl, keep doing you! Reclaim your channel like you said! HUGS!
Hey boo! I'm so glad to see you back. I think it's awesome that you stay true to yourself with your channel. I would love to hear you share your experience of growing out your tapered cut because I'm growing mine out and it is not easy! I feel like the awkward stage is much more awkward with a tapered cut... Anywho, Happy New Year!
It's great to have an update! I love how real you are and yes thank you for defining the difference btwn a person who makes TH-cam videos and someone who is a TH-cam lifer. It's completely understandable that you have a life outside of TH-cam. It erks me when I see people comment with demands and snarky comments abt videos. I've also noticed with a lot of other TH-camrs that they are all doing the same exact videos. I personally would rather see less videos with unique content than everybody and their mom doing the exact same videos around the exact same time like they all have the same script. Maybe in this time you will find a new twist for your videos, who knows, whatever you end up doing with your video content I will support. I appreciate you always keeping it real.
Missed you. Love your hair! I would love to see the new fragrances you have purchased. I cut my hair for the second time in August. I'm missing the convenience of longer hair but love my short hair....would like to see how your gonna maintenance & nurture your hair as it grows back. Lastly, your skin is flawless...would like to know how you nurture it as well. Welcome back. Happy New Year! Hugs!
I have always enjoyed your videos and is glad to know that you're gonna make some more. I have been watching your makeup videos lately just to get my fix. Happy New Year and I hope that your family is well.
Congrats on the new Job! I totally feel you on the hair cut I had to keep mine shaped up every week or two weeks and I am growing mine out also! We love your videos so make them when you can!!!!! Happy New Year!
I'm glad that you're taking care of yourself and doing what works for you, not what everyone wants you to do. Congratulations on your new job. Your hair looks fantastic too! Take care!
Great to see you again. I have to agree with an earlier comment. YOU are the brand/product of your channel. This is definitely why I click on your vids. You are relatable to me because you are authentic to yourself. I love your hauls and opinions about products...they're some growna$$ opinions. I respect that coz Im not feeling the sparkly stuff either. I want what I can afford from regular stores that I can get to when I'm not working, cleaning and where I can take/drag my kids along with me! Lol
Continue to follow for your content and personality. I feel as if I know you...thats a good thing. You're relatable. I love to see more children protective styles. I have a child that going on 6 and her hair is so soft style will only last a week. So insight on that would be nice. Glad to see ya again. Love the hair
I enjoy watching your videos because they are fun, and interesting. I have been a happy subscriber for nearly a year, despite the fact that I don't wear weaves or wigs and our hair textures are quite different. You have great information, honest feedback, and I think, good style. TH-cam is such a wonderful tool for bringing all women of color together from around the world in a way that we can easily share information. With that said, I would curious to know what books or novels that you have read or are reading that you like, perhaps. Movies, or plays, newspaper articles or something, just a thought. Happy New Year!
1.) I love you,I think you are the only thing consistent on my you tube, you seem so sincere and honest ..and im from Frisco so its bay love! 2.) Id love to see your hair care routine for 2015..Failures and successes..maybe with new products Products for your face, hair and makeup..You have gorgeous skin. 3.) Thifting blogs
Congratulations on the new job! I hope it's still going well. I like the hair and make-up and fashion stuff, but it doesn't really apply to me, though it's fun. I just think you're fun and upbeat and inspiring. Thanks!
I've been thinking about you lot lately and even contemplated sending you a message. I missed you and your videos, most especially your thrift haul videos. They were my absolute favorite vids to watch. I love your style and even that little dance/wiggle you would do when you were modeling your finds. You inspired me to seriously get into thrifting a few years back and so thank you for that. So to answer your question, yes, I want to see a haul. I'm crying out for one!!
Hey Boo! Happy New year! Glad your doing fine and looking great... Now lets talk about some hair! Loving your new do... I guess I missed the big chop. I am going through the videos looking for that.. Damn I missed it. Anywhohow... I can't wait to see what more you bring 2015. Let's get it!
I love your videos and thanks for update! Glad you had a good new year. I was just curious as to what program you use to shoot and edit your awesome vids?
Just found your channel through a how you moisturize and grease your hair than found out you no longer do TH-cam darn it!!! Lol I love watch women who are real and truthful. And you use hair grease!!! Which I love. I hope all is well with you and that your life is prosperous God bless.
The best videos come from what inspires the vlogger and with you that will be anything that catches your attention. Speaking for myself I like your channel because you are pleasing yourself first and "keeping it real" so that means tuning in assures me that it is something that you care about. Even if it is not my thing I like hearing what you have to say or just laugh at your comments and have fun. I think most of your fans are along for the ride because when you are happy it shows and your content finds its mark.
yesss happy new yr!! i would like to see a haul from you and i love your crochet braids they are nice!! and yes you have a life thats def priority because this is not all you do i understand so thats cool whatever content you bring or can bring at your time or whenever you can thats cool, thank you for coming back stay blessed cant wait to see more vis from you! :))
Hey there! So happy to hear good things happening in your life. Looking forward to seeing more videos when you get the time or inclination. I really like this black and white video. Just wanted to know if you were still thrifting. If so mAybe we could get some inspiration from you in that area. Whatever you decide, I'll be watching. Peace
Honestly, I think it would be great to give life updates, such as how to cope with your new house, what you like to eat, and even on the beauty side, like what you wear to work. Hairstyles of the day, makeup of the day, and I love how you keep it to the point. You can choose whatever camera you wish at the time of filming... it can be fun for you again. 😁 Hope to see you again soon!
Although natural hair us what brought me to your channel, I actually love the "chit chat" and current events videos. The videos where you're just speaking your mind about WHATEVER are my favorites. I like that you're not fake and flashy with 2 tons of make-up and a bunch of bullshit. Welcome back.
To be honest with you, I LOVE the things that interest you. Like your thrift hauls are always so much fun to watch and I love the randomness as well. And of course your hair videos :-). I am here to support and watch Ms. AFRICAN EXPORT and I am glad you are back! -Jazzy
Yes curlfriend!!! Missed your hugs!!!! Looking forward to more from you... Even if it is just a wig review or just a "hey ya'll!!!" You and Toni Daley are my sistas from another mista! Your soul glows!
I love all of your videos!!! I would love to see a home decor video. And another thrift store haul, more vegetarian/ vegan recipes, and all the randomness you want lol. I'll watch it all.
Sweetheart...you do what you got to do.....because I will be here along with the rest of youtube. I enjoy watching and listening to your videos. You are a genuine person, and that's what I like about you. Thanks for wanting to do for your supporters, but honey I will be here.....and still support you.
I've been following you for about four years... Yes....I'm ride or die!!! You are so funny and continue to "keep it real." Congrats on the new job and be blessed.
I've never thought of you as strictly hair, beauty, or any one dimension. For me, African Export has ALWAYS been a "Lifestyle" Channel and what's made it enjoyable is your unique, candid and often hilarious perspective.

I think that's why most of the "family" is here and those of us who "get it" don't need disclaimers. Just do you....but do it in a video so we can enjoy you like we used to!!! Don't let YT drown in a sea of "fluff" (don't get me wrong, I have my favorite fluffy channels too). Of course we appreciate you can only film when time permits, but doggone it DO IT!
HUGS,

You are so straight forward and down to earth. Strictly hair? No way. Congratulations on your new job. Have a blessed weekend.
I loved the vegan recipes that you have done and I tried the pasta w/alfredo, so I would love to see more videos on that.... and you look beautiful as always
Agreed! Definitely would like to see more vegan recipes if possible.
WNana1 Yes I second this!
I love how real you are! I'm so glad you gave the real on your haircut because i've been debating cutting my hair but remember how much work it is.
Love your channel, I've been watching since before I decided to big chop two years ago and even then I went back and watched your older videos.

Love your randomness! You can pretty much do a video on whatever if I'm interested I'll watch! You give off great vibes and that's what matters.

I watched a lot of your videos, but I like the natural hair videos best. I hope you video your re-growth!

So glad you're back! Whatever video you make I will watch.
I love your channel and personality. How you put yourself out there just you as an individual and seeing you is an inspiration and motivation! My question to you would be could you do like a make-up tutorial video or series for beginners? I love your skin and how it always looks just flawless and resilient. I really just like to hear what you have to say and express. I enjoy all of your empowering messages from reviews of music albums to just keeping it real. I know that whatever you decide to do that it is going to be awesome because your power, support, integrity, love, and determination all shine from within❤️❤️❤️
This is exactly why I love your channel. For the "realness" you have never sugar coated anything. Keep doing you. Congrats on the new job!!! I like crochet braids can you tell me the name and brand of hair you use
Nice see you are back. Love your personality; you are one of those TH-camrs I feel connected with and can look at any kind of video you make.
I'd love to see videos about the regimen and products that you are using to grow your hair back long.
Love that you own it! Now, what brand of hair are those crochet braids please?
More Chit Chat, I love the honesty and content of the chit chats. I am a working wife, mother and student and I live on a budget, so I actually appreciate the affordable wigs as well. I support you as a person, so whatever you do videos on is fine ((hugs))!
I always watched for your personality, not for the hair videos. I'm cool with any content as limited or as frequent as it comes. Happy New Year :)
I would love to see some haul videos, hair vids, makeup tutorials, life vlogs, product reviews, get ready with me videos, outfit of the day videos and anything else you desire to post. I enjoy your realness and your personality. Keep doing what you do A.E.!!!!!!
Yay! Congrats on the new job. Good luck with your hair growth. Yea, share your hair, always loved that :). Whatever you are passionate about sharing works for me. You are absolutely correct, your ride or die subbies are just happy to see YOU! It don't even matter what u speaking on....HUGZ!!! Oh, and if you do do a haul please play that background music I love from your old thriftin videos. TFS. Stay blessed.
I'm late but I have missed your presence. I don't just watch for the hair information as I have been natural for a long time too and it gets draining to always discuss something that should seem like second nature for us. At any rate, miss the conversation, miss the personality and most definitely miss the reality of you. Hugs!!! Don't feel bad about not sharing all of you at certain points in time, we all have what I refer to as preservation periods where we need to regain and refocus ourselves. Do you and when you are ready, come on back and share what you deem necessary!
Just keep doing what you're doing and posting videos as and when you have time.
I watch and enjoy all of your videos and have learned a lot from doing so. You have a radiant personality which makes you very watchable and entertaining and most of all you keep it real! I have been a follower for about four years via my various channels.
By the way, I really love the *hugs* at the end of your videos.
Wow so happy you are growing your hair back, Ive missed ur hair videos, you were my inspiration throughout my transition. thank you.
Glad to see you back! Can you please do a home tour and give final thoughts on the home buying process?
I've been watching you since 2011! Your hair videos (from waaay back when) saved my head! Cuz I didn't know what I was doing after my big chop!!! Gurl, keep doing you! Reclaim your channel like you said! HUGS!
I'm also growing out my tapered cut with crochet braids. Thanks for the update on your life. God bless!
To tell you the truth, I love 'random' videos. I find that style of chanel more interesting and entertaining. Love you AE, always happy to see you!
I totally feel you! Talk about what you want to talk about. Your real supporters are here to stay :)
Hey boo! I'm so glad to see you back. I think it's awesome that you stay true to yourself with your channel. I would love to hear you share your experience of growing out your tapered cut because I'm growing mine out and it is not easy! I feel like the awkward stage is much more awkward with a tapered cut... Anywho, Happy New Year!
It's great to have an update! I love how real you are and yes thank you for defining the difference btwn a person who makes TH-cam videos and someone who is a TH-cam lifer. It's completely understandable that you have a life outside of TH-cam. It erks me when I see people comment with demands and snarky comments abt videos. I've also noticed with a lot of other TH-camrs that they are all doing the same exact videos. I personally would rather see less videos with unique content than everybody and their mom doing the exact same videos around the exact same time like they all have the same script.
Maybe in this time you will find a new twist for your videos, who knows, whatever you end up doing with your video content I will support. I appreciate you always keeping it real.
Hey Diva I love seeing your videos; you were one of the first ladies I start watching on TH-cam. Love how you keep it organic :)
Girl do you...I'm one of the people who watches simply because I like you. You keep making videos (of any kind) and I'll keep watching.
Missed you. Love your hair! I would love to see the new fragrances you have purchased. I cut my hair for the second time in August. I'm missing the convenience of longer hair but love my short hair....would like to see how your gonna maintenance & nurture your hair as it grows back. Lastly, your skin is flawless...would like to know how you nurture it as well. Welcome back. Happy New Year! Hugs!
talk about whatever you want and what comes organically to you and I'll be watching! Nice to hear from you and happy new year :)
I have always enjoyed your videos and is glad to know that you're gonna make some more. I have been watching your makeup videos lately just to get my fix. Happy New Year and I hope that your family is well.
Congrats on the new Job! I totally feel you on the hair cut I had to keep mine shaped up every week or two weeks and I am growing mine out also! We love your videos so make them when you can!!!!! Happy New Year!
I'm glad that you're taking care of yourself and doing what works for you, not what everyone wants you to do. Congratulations on your new job. Your hair looks fantastic too! Take care!
Hey !AE !you look great!what kind of hair is that ? After you did the crochet braids did you cut the hair like that ?would love to see a haul from you
Great to see you again. I have to agree with an earlier comment. YOU are the brand/product of your channel. This is definitely why I click on your vids. You are relatable to me because you are authentic to yourself. I love your hauls and opinions about products...they're some growna$$ opinions. I respect that coz Im not feeling the sparkly stuff either. I want what I can afford from regular stores that I can get to when I'm not working, cleaning and where I can take/drag my kids along with me! Lol
Hope all is well...2020 update please
Continue to follow for your content and personality. I feel as if I know you...thats a good thing. You're relatable. I love to see more children protective styles. I have a child that going on 6 and her hair is so soft style will only last a week. So insight on that would be nice. Glad to see ya again. Love the hair
I enjoy watching your videos because they are fun, and interesting. I have been a happy subscriber for nearly a year, despite the fact that I don't wear weaves or wigs and our hair textures are quite different. You have great information, honest feedback, and I think, good style. TH-cam is such a wonderful tool for bringing all women of color together from around the world in a way that we can easily share information. With that said, I would curious to know what books or novels that you have read or are reading that you like, perhaps. Movies, or plays, newspaper articles or something, just a thought. Happy New Year!
1.) I love you,I think you are the only thing consistent on my you tube, you seem so sincere and honest ..and im from Frisco so its bay love!
2.) Id love to see your hair care routine for 2015..Failures and successes..maybe with new products
Products for your face, hair and makeup..You have gorgeous skin.
3.) Thifting blogs
Congratulations on the new job! I hope it's still going well. I like the hair and make-up and fashion stuff, but it doesn't really apply to me, though it's fun. I just think you're fun and upbeat and inspiring. Thanks!
I've been thinking about you lot lately and even contemplated sending you a message. I missed you and your videos, most especially your thrift haul videos. They were my absolute favorite vids to watch. I love your style and even that little dance/wiggle you would do when you were modeling your finds. You inspired me to seriously get into thrifting a few years back and so thank you for that. So to answer your question, yes, I want to see a haul. I'm crying out for one!!
Hey Boo! Happy New year! Glad your doing fine and looking great... Now lets talk about some hair! Loving your new do... I guess I missed the big chop. I am going through the videos looking for that.. Damn I missed it. Anywhohow... I can't wait to see what more you bring 2015. Let's get it!
I love your videos and thanks for update! Glad you had a good new year. I was just curious as to what program you use to shoot and edit your awesome vids?
Just found your channel through a how you moisturize and grease your hair than found out you no longer do TH-cam darn it!!! Lol I love watch women who are real and truthful. And you use hair grease!!! Which I love. I hope all is well with you and that your life is prosperous God bless.
The best videos come from what inspires the vlogger and with you that will be anything that catches your attention. Speaking for myself I like your channel because you are pleasing yourself first and "keeping it real" so that means tuning in assures me that it is something that you care about. Even if it is not my thing I like hearing what you have to say or just laugh at your comments and have fun. I think most of your fans are along for the ride because when you are happy it shows and your content finds its mark.
yesss happy new yr!! i would like to see a haul from you and i love your crochet braids they are nice!! and yes you have a life thats def priority because this is not all you do i understand so thats cool whatever content you bring or can bring at your time or whenever you can thats cool, thank you for coming back stay blessed cant wait to see more vis from you! :))
Hey there! So happy to hear good things happening in your life. Looking forward to seeing more videos when you get the time or inclination. I really like this black and white video. Just wanted to know if you were still thrifting. If so mAybe we could get some inspiration from you in that area. Whatever you decide, I'll be watching. Peace
Honestly, I think it would be great to give life updates, such as how to cope with your new house, what you like to eat, and even on the beauty side, like what you wear to work. Hairstyles of the day, makeup of the day, and I love how you keep it to the point. You can choose whatever camera you wish at the time of filming... it can be fun for you again. 😁 Hope to see you again soon!
Although natural hair us what brought me to your channel, I actually love the "chit chat" and current events videos. The videos where you're just speaking your mind about WHATEVER are my favorites. I like that you're not fake and flashy with 2 tons of make-up and a bunch of bullshit. Welcome back.
To be honest with you, I LOVE the things that interest you. Like your thrift hauls are always so much fun to watch and I love the randomness as well. And of course your hair videos :-). I am here to support and watch Ms. AFRICAN EXPORT and I am glad you are back!

Glad to see you back on the YT! I enjoy all of your videos and actually like the versatility in your content. Happy New Year!
SO happy to see you're back...I was laughing so hard (hey, sparkly). How about some Spring Fashion and Makeup videos? Please.
Patiently waiting.
I would like to see more debate and discussion videos. There are so many interesting things in the headlines. I'd love to hear your opinion.
Well said! I look forward to seeing what you'd like to share. Life is one to be lived. Good that you are taking time for the ones who love you most.
Yes curlfriend!!! Missed your hugs!!!! Looking forward to more from you... Even if it is just a wig review or just a "hey ya'll!!!" You and Toni Daley are my sistas from another mista! Your soul glows!
You were very much missed. Hope you had a wonderful holiday and happy new year. God bless you!
welcome back, do you and anything you do as long as you love it will be welcomed. thanks and happy new year
I love all of your videos!!! I would love to see a home decor video. And another thrift store haul, more vegetarian/ vegan recipes, and all the randomness you want lol. I'll watch it all.
Sweetheart...you do what you got to do.....because I will be here along with the rest of youtube. I enjoy watching and listening to your videos. You are a genuine person, and that's what I like about you. Thanks for wanting to do for your supporters, but honey I will be here.....and still support you.
I've been following you for about four years... Yes....I'm ride or die!!! You are so funny and continue to "keep it real." Congrats on the new job and be blessed.
