Africa is calling my name. I feel like my spirit won't rest until I go, see and feel my home.
welcome in Tanzania
Welcome home !!
Africa the land of the original and beautiful people!!
I am honored to have African blood.
I'm proud of my Africa ancestry. Looking forward to taking my DNA to see what I am
That’s how I felt when I visited Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Tunisia 🇹🇳. So new but familiar. Married into a Nigerian (Yoruba) family for over 20 years and have Cuban 🇨🇺 forefathers. You will need to experience first hand.
I would like to see you transfer those skills to these USA African American farmers.
And have them crisscrossed and travel to Africa and help those farmers.
Build a unison between Africans and the African Americas Diaspora it's time to come together.
Me too
I WANT TO GO HOMEEEEEEEEEE
Then fo nothing stopping you
The mad lad you have no idea, if it were easy the comment would never had been made.
Mee too. Mother Africa is calling me 🏡
Hallelujah! You looked Queenly for sure. Keep going on my girl. Love you for your hard work and intelligence.
I love your inspirational message, very educative. Thank you for sharing it with us.
"I am an African Goddess!"- Yessss Queen! Thank you for sharing who you are and what you stand for unapologetically.

What
I love my people, I really do. But we are not known for being secretive and subtle. There are things we should keep to ourselves......
Yes. I agree.
What do you refer to?
So how do you propose we communicate our ideas to each other?
Agree to an extent, a lot of our people are quiet.
@Aboagye Ɔsono They may have a translator.
I’m coming home ✊🏾
Where
We missed you and we're waiting for you
Go on get.
no stay where you are
I'm not African nor African descent, but my bff is South African and Ugandan. (Both very successful women)
African hospitality, is far better than Asian hospitality. Africans give without expecting anything in return, genuine people.
And Africa has beautiful landscape and wildlife.
Waw nice young lady, we are proud of you and we will love to have you visit the Gambia once again. You're proudly African.
Hello Ashley - my comment is to say that life is mysterious and you now being there to reveal your story, did not happen by chance. By this I mean to say that fate/destiny transported your ancestors to other regions of the world, this time as slaves, as that what was intended to get to this moment, when after centuries of torments, you were pushed to learn, be educated and to see that due to the color of your skin, you would never cease to be mistreated, and then it dawned upon you that your soul needed to feel the welcoming energies of the roots, that enlightened you to embrace and promote the return to Mother Africa of her long lost children. You also need to understand that now is the moment, after over 60 years of Africa gaining independence, that fate agin plays the role of opening the minds of people like you to start on journeys of quest to discover the new avenues that only recently began to open by the initiatives being taken to welcome and embrace those in far off lands to return home to Mother Africa, as now the governments finally realized that those that are considered as DIASPOREANS - who were despised and unwelcome in Africa are now to be welcomed with friendliness and open arms, as the experience the bring will contribute to make our homeland, the land of the ORIGIN od present day HUMANITY into as I have often claimed THE CONTINENT OF THE FUTURE - where residents in each country, will join hands with the newcomers to jointly reap the benefits, which until now are being used to benefit foreign entities. So good luck to you in following this dream of yours, which I share since my history to return to Mother Africa and give back the knowledge that I acquired in my lifetime is similar, in the sense that SHE needs me to thank her for having given me the sacred gift of being born on her soil...
Yes I agree
How can we speak more?
Beautifully spoken my Queen
I can't stop crying. May you live and die actualized in your Blackness. Thank you Queen Milton.
same. im so hurt by this
Let’s connect to do great things. Cry and then let go, come, and be free here.
THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SISTAH FOR THIS. YOUR AMAZING ANDDDD SMART. PLEASE NEVER STOP SHARING OUR HISTORY. IM Booking my Trip to Africa 2021
Thank you Dr Ashley,Wellcome ,you are great,
In the world we live in today where not much emphasis is placed on the destructive environmental practices of the so called first world. Her knowledge on what contributes to environmental issues should be be greatly valuable.
Great talk! I want to go home and I will!
You are so inspirational and so amazing. Thank you for all the work you have done by spreading the word of making this world a more inclusive place for African Americans and everyone in the world. True world peace! 🌏 💜💚💙✝🖤🤎🤍🙏
Good to hear from you Dr. Milton, proud!!!
Outstanding.
So BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Great inspiration
Great information for investigating
Finally welcome home,,,we indeed welcome all of you
YESSSSS I will come
This was great
Does anyone have substantial documentation regarding SGI, like clients they've worked with or projects they've completed? I'm trying to gain some info on the company and besides a LinkedIn that talks only about Africa I can't find a single thing they've actually done
I'm going to africa as soon as I finish my cyber security degree
Excellent🤗🦋🦋🦋
Believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and be saved. Love yall!
I wish they would've made sure her audio was decent. First time I've seen a Ted Talk with bad audio. smh
You're pretty
God bless this sister I’ve been had these thoughts in my mind....where can I go?, what can I do? To find a place on this planet where I can just live off the fruit of the land what I produce without currency meanwhile debate always say from the people as if we can’t live without currency who say...
I am too old, but is wish I moved back when I was younger
It never too late to! My parents are making the move and not full time. It can part time too
Well said my sister. It's time for all to return however, the system have succeeded in instill fear and negativity in some ppl minds. In addition too, some individuals dont wont to release jobs, properties, and their enclosed past. Meanwhile, those who are coming are preparing with the help of TMH. Praise onto Him.
You can’t invite everyone to sit at the table. Your enemy should sit at another table or opposite our table. Simply because they’re the problem. It’s not too often the problem will solve the problem.,
Big Facts. The problem is "The Enemy" built our table and we continue to sit at it. Instead of building our own🙌🏾
@Incognito Spazzout Big Facts bro no denying that
Everyone that is for me, for us, for my matter. I hear you, but wasn’t talking to traitors. 😊
This is reel good
I ride with this heavy.
I would like to see a open discussion on and with the African countries that played a big part in slavery a part that never discuss with Americans of African dissent in the United States. I have relatives through marriage from Kenya and Nigeria they talk about the part theirs country played in slavery. The part I disagree will want to concern African-Americans is that they see themselves as one peoples from one country instead of many people from a continent. Who came to the United States with different cultures and language and even religion. The African that played a part in the Selling of other Africans did not look at them as one of them all their peoples.
Let’s have that conversation. Would you be interested in planning?
Wow very inspiring! Welcome to Mama Africa!
Well to the land of your ancestors
They murdered her Audio... Geeeeeesh!
As Africans we share your pain, and welcome you anytime if u need to rest from your trauma. Remember no matter how poor your parents and relatives are, they will love you unconditionally. Yes, we have problems, but not as bad as some wealthy countries like USA
The problem those who want truth don't understand they can't handle it.
Wow
It seems crazy to me that young people would continue to struggle in the West. They have seen their grandparents and parents struggle with low salaries, second class status, and blatant discrimination. Africa can offer opportunities and everything needed to thrive. Go home for a visit to see if it's for you and do it soon because the Chinese, Europeans, and Lebonese are already there.
So can they in the US. It's a cultural difference in some regions.. You try to exceed in school, you get torn down. You try to better yourself, you're not seen as cool. You try to learn an instrument, it's not seen as cool. You don't try to fight to defend yourself, you're not seen as manly and so you fight and land in jail and begin a record. It's unfortunate.
SAMURAI36 I’m sorry you feel that way, but it’s just not true.
@@Volcanic_Eruption Hi! Why don't you or your husband look at teaching English online? There are so many youtube videos about this and you can start. Some people make about $2000/month on this. From there, you can save enough and move anywhere you want to in Africa, still teaching online. So there is a source of income coming in, while you live in several countries to decide where to permanently migrate to.
Teach
Soar Dr. Ashley.
Homegirl done lost me at PTSS!
Can you explain that? I would love to understand your perspective.
I am very wealthy so I will move to a third world country were I can buy a house in the good part of town that the locals can only dream of. When I get pregnant I will fly back to my homeland so my kids can choose were they want to live.
first
