I was born in the Caribbean but I lived/studied in the UK for 4 years and in America for 2 years. I could not live in America because I realized it was all about money, competition and work, plus the anger and violence is like apart of the culture. In the UK the TV channels are more about romance, comedy and documentaries about the world. In the Caribbean we get a lot of American channels so that's why Caribbean people move to the US because of what they see on TV showing the good life. But we do not see any African channels in the Caribbean, just American and European and they spread bad news about Africa all day everyday brainwashing the people, so a lot of Caribbean people think Africa is all desert, poverty and wars. So I fully agree with everything you said Ashley.
I must say we have been sold a lie, a mirage. At this point and age I learnt only in 2020 during the race of COVID 19 that USA is just a Third World Country in a GUCCI BELT. Africa is a place to be, we are carrying the Western World on our BIG SHOULDERS. Please come back home. We love you and appreciate ❤💕you. Despite your suffering and pains we need you and your contributions to take the continent forward.
I absolutely love how well informed and respectful your perspective and narrative is about the continent of Africa. Keep it up👍🏽. Love, from South Africa (KwaZulu Natal).
Thank you Tawvn ❤️
One thing i am noticing is that most AA will miss opportunities that some companies are heavily investing in the country ( South Africa) , with most who are well qualified would be suitable to companies such as Amazon , Google , etc would easily get the position that they might be missing because of their color in America , and also in South Africa we were taught to value time to relax , family and community is important to us
That's great feedback. I've heard that many of the jobs available are IT/Computer Programing roles amongst the infinite opportunities for entrepreneurship in SA. Family and community seem to be a foundation of the African culture, I love that.
@@AshleyinAfrika That is True. I work with few AA and they enjoying joburg and I am also in Tech industry. They young and enjoying themselves
I wish Americans would be more knowledgeable on global issues. You're so intelligent. Continue to educate your brothers and sisters
Thank you Nola.
My colleagues who have kids that are in school take time to drop kids off at school and pick them up whilst we keep being the dynamic team we are in an accounting firm. If I need to travel I'm able to do so due to flexible working conditions. It is amazing. I'm really grateful to be a South African.
Thanks for sharing!
We were in Tanzania last year. Yes, I agree with you about the situation in the USA. Keep your peace! I can’t wait to get back to the continent. I felt really and truly at home there, welcomed by all I met. Thanks!
Thank you Deb. It's a journey.
Brother Asad and Sister Adrian brought me here. I love the calm spirit🙏🏿
Me too brother Mbuso😁👋
You're so amazing person,humble and stunning. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
I’ve been living in Australia for over 20 years because I saw the trajectory of the U.S years ago. We don’t control the policy, tax system, media, money or information. We are in a vulnerable situation.
Truth, truth, and more truth. Thank you for your comment 🙏🏾
Did you move alone? Why Australia
Ashley thank you for your Clarity of thought, and on point observation of South Africa and America, all the best blessings to you and yours.
There is definitely a correlation between what is shown in media and what is happening and has been happening in the society at large.
Thank you! You’re journey and knowledge are very much appreciated. I admire your strength to make a change that will impact your bloodline for generations to come. 🙏🏽❤️✊🏽
Left me speechless. Answering questions that have developed in my life through my most recent storm of sorts.
Love and appreciate your content and just your professional and respectful way you bring it forth... much love from South Africa
It's nice to see that some AA are taking the time to know Africa. I've seen a number of videos where AA only thought negatively about Africa. I was surprised because I have never left Africa but I've seen Europe and America South And North and know there is good and bad like in any country. So how can a more developed country be so wrong about us? 🙋🏽 Love your channel 💕
Too much TV and less thinking outside the box. And toxic media
Thank you Lalina 💗
That's funny because I follow alot of AAs youtubers that loves Africa. 🤔
Theres alot of misinformation from western media outlets about both South Africa and the continent as a whole. The view point is from a colonized , twisted , perspective that’s meant to scare people from leaving The oppressive States, often citing exaggerated examples of rampant crime, poverty, and more in SA.
i love your calmness and wow the color of the room is beautiful , would love to get one for my bedroom and you beautiful too sisi
Thank you so much.
Me too. But I can also see the Lioness in her.
Your open-mindedness is just on another level. Big up to giving Africa a chance despite what you grew up hearing. You and your kids deserve happiness!
I must admit you are such a beautiful woman
Glad you are exploring Afrika. Love from Zim 🇿🇼🇿🇼
Super beautiful lady, I love the way you sound. Such a sweet voice😍😍
Thank you Uncle P
@@AshleyinAfrika
Anytime @Ashley, God bless you more.
Your channel is such a blessing ! Thank you for your top notch content.👌🏽👌🏽😊
You are so welcome!
Ashley is a very beautiful and elegant lady
Very relaxed and calm
Peace and Love Sister. I am pleased to see you looking so calm and relaxed. Of course, I understand what you are saying, after spending a year in Tanzania. One thing I would like to get your analysis on, is the difference between Tanzania and South Africa. When I return to the Continent, I was thinking about spending a few months in another country, perhaps on the Westside. I visited Ghana a few years ago, but I think I would rather try another country. Stay strong, and healthy.
Peace Brother. I love both, as you know, but the biggest differences that I've noticed between the two are 1. SA has a premium level of infrastructure; buildings, roads, shopping malls, real estate communities, recreational campuses 2. A plethora of international educational institutions primary, secondary, collegiate, and university 3. SA is a metropolitan feel being an international destination for many sports and entertainment BIG MOMENTS. 4. If you go into the townships and rural parts of SA, you can experience the richness of the traditional African culture and their smaller communities and find local markets similar to markets in TZ 4. SA feels more diverse than TZ with Africans, Indians, Asians, Australians, Europeans, South Americans, and North Americans as residents --- it's a major international hub of the world.
@@AshleyinAfrika everything you mentioned is good and very important the only thing I don't like and I wish the whole Africa continent will not focus is the malls because malls are for expending and consumption ,much blessings to you my dearest gorgeous sister
@@klaw1425 thank you for saying this..other nationals comes to Africa with interest in doing better for themselves...some comes to the continent with little and within ten years are millionaires and Africans are worried about shopping malls...places which are filled with cheap imported goods,
My sister now you realized what many of us as foreigners felt when we first went to America culture shock was strange to many of us it took me years to understood Americans and still dealing with differances some of it I still find it hard to compromise with
How prophetic is this video? So sad the level of violence. I left America last year and did not know I was suffering from PTSD. Every noise even a car horn blowing was making me jump when I first moved here.
Everything in this video was well said.
This sister is deep. Love from the motherland..........
wow Ashley you are so beautiful.
Thank you 😊
You have a beautiful, and soothing voice.
Wise words, beautiful content.

Please post the information about the weather.
Totally agree about the safety. It is sickening when I talk to my family back home.
Thank you much my dear Ashley. You know, when they flight all the negatives about africa we look at ourselves as africans and ask ourselves where the hell they get this negative information from? We may not be as developed as some cities and town in Europe and US are and we are more developed than some of them as well but what is of great importance as an african is not monetary gains and accummulation of wealth and worldly materials but selffulfillment and realisation and acknowledgement of each individual's worth and humane treatment we give to each and everyone of us. We also pride ourselves about our ability to stand for each other and we have this spirit of sharing where nobody goes hungry when we as a community are available. Just last week an unknown man came to my door and knocked and my boy opened and there the man was all he was asking for was something to eat because apparently that day he did not get a piece job and he was holding a dog by the leash which was given to him by somebody whom he had worked for and when he came to collect the person paid him by giving him one of his dogs compounding his woes because both now had nothing to eat. I opened my refridgerator gave him a handful of items and a few tins of fish and baked beans and a few items and gave him almost R100 to buy food for his dog. It wasn't much but I couldn't let him starve and his dog. Most international philanthropists are doing what africa has been practicing for years and we as africans do not seek praise and recognition for helping a fellow human being. There is tranquility in our souls and we are unable to neglect and abandon in the hour of need. I just love you Ashley I mean your soft voice takes me to fantasies unknown. When are you coming back? Please visit Richardsbay in KZN when you come back to SA, I will be happy to host you.
I subscribed here coz of Brittney Africa.Welcome to, Kisii Kenya
Asante sana Kaka. Karibu

Did you learn any kiswahili word in Tanzania and any word in isiZulu or other SA language to share with us.
I like the way you say isiZulu... Are you a Zulu person or American??? 🤣❤️🙊
During the pandemic I learned about stocks and finance and I got the ultimate lesson in economics. We trade all of our time for money which has a value determined by white people. A job is modern slavery for everybody. Because the job market is unfair we compete with one another on unhealthy levels. The Wizard of OZ got us all fighting over the yellow brick road to the Hope Promise Land. We allow others to determine our value and that's why subconsciously we hate each other. The people at the bottom are most likely to fight by Design. Our own arrogance as black people help keep us in this position.
Because of the ability to spend credit we think we make enough money. This is why wages don't match your worth. Most of us will go to the grave in debt that's not producing generational wealth. While in the meantime the wizard uses debt to make income off our demise. Malcom said we been hoodwinked.
I love your assessment. Refreshing to know people pay attention to what's going on around them. Blessings to your message.
P.S. post pandemic was a culture shock for me. If the pandemic didn't change you you're still asleep
Asbonge mntaka ma😊👍✌👏👏👏
That translation is too literal. Basically it means " Let us thank mama's child" Meaning " we thank you sisi" as you are one with my own sister...coming from the same mother"
Greetings Ashley, where are you originally from?
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

You are so beautiful 👌
Get a microphone!
Let's connect. Would love to interview you on my channel
Let’s do it. I’d love that.
@@AshleyinAfrika See if you can find me on the gram. it's no excuse ent
Did you learn any kiswahili word in Tanzania and any word in isiZulu or other SA language to share with us.
I did. I learned a good amount of Kiswahili. Maybe I'll do a short on important phrases to know in Kiswahili.
Zulu is not widely spoken only 20% of population.
Infact Sotho/tswana will go a long way, spoken in 6/9 provinces.
Zulu is a good start as other nguni language so it will go as far also.
An average south African can speak 5 languages
@@AustineAK true
@@AustineAK you are lying isiZulu is the most spoken language followed by isiXhosa then English.
@@ironeaglesolutions5134 as I said 20 percent
But Sotho/Tswana languages will take you further as they are spoken in 6/7 provinces in SA. Northen cape, free state, northwest, Gauteng, limpopo and Mpumalanga.
Knowing although Zulu is most spoken language in SA with 20%. Zulu speakers are highly concentrated in single area.
