Grew up in a country without knowing/speaking the dialect, went to International school, had friends who were Korean...private school...she grew up privileged, not mad at her! She's also very uniquely pretty and her hair is stunning. I was also surprised at the very HUGE Asian community around DC (etc MD).
Sounds like the average American girl. Guess you haven’t been around much. You can find some of em at Starbucks or at universities with gallon water bottles because that’s a thing I guess
What a lot of people don't realize is that it's as difficult for multiculture people as it is for mixed-race individuals as well, I'm glad she highlighted that.❤
@@IamHzwyfee Exactly there's only one race called human with different colors. Just likes dogs and cats which there are different kinds but the same species.
I hope she gets the chance to learn and speak both Swahili and Korean. Congrats to her on post graduation life! DC is a great place to explore as well.
She seems like a bright individual with a pretty special background. It is good to hear about Koreans that were adopted establishing a successful family in the states.
I lived in the DC area most of my life and she’s right people here are open minded to all cultures, it’s just so expensive. But I really can’t imagine living in the less diverse areas. I’m happy she felt accepted here she is beautiful.
I’m Kenyan myself and I live and was born in Atlanta, Georgia. I was so surprised when she said she grew up here. Glad to know I’m not alone. God bless her! She so beautiful! Thank you for representing girl 🙏🏿🇰🇪
No way i wouldn’t have my daughter or son learn both languages of father and mother. It would’ve given her access to so much more in life. Language is an absolute power to have.
Me too. Just speak to the child in your native language and the other parent will teach their language, and school will teach them others. I blame the parents, not her.
Her mother was adopted by an American family, so her mother lost the language herself. Therefore, it wasn't passed down to the daughter. The young lady herself spent most of her life in the U.S, so there was no need to learn Korean. I can't remember what she said about her father but maybe he wasn't present in her life to teach her the native language of Kenya.
When I was in uni, I mixed with a lot of international students from different background . But my Kenyan girls always be my sweetest memories. Spent weekend at home with them, went parties, study together. I even learn how to make Kenyan curry, cold tamarind juice and their beef BBQ is the best!
@@nessy3087 That's not new info. It's no secret that some of our cuisines originated from Indian influence during colonial times. Some just have a little twist to it developed over time, but not that different generally. We have traditional cuisines. People liking them or not isn't a new phenomena. It all depends on the person. There's equally a lot of people who love it.

Korean here.....Why did you ask if that was her real hair? Shes only half Black and was still asked this question. I know every ethnicity wear Hair extensions (ESPECIALLY WOMEN IN SEOUL) but I only see Black/mixed women get questions on their hair....thats weird to see. I dont think you have asked other races and ethnicities if their hair was real in your videos.....
because its big and curly...i am black and it doesnt offend me...i sometimes have my real curls out or protect them and have extensions that look exactly like my hair..its because we are known for protective hairstyles..others just wear extensions to have fuller or longer hair...we often do it for a different reasons the biggest is keeping our real hair tangle free and growing
It could be the perspective he might have been raised onto when it came to hair for him to ask this specific question, when it comes to hair the black community when it comes to hair it seems to have a lot of ignorance but at the same time a lot of knowledge, there’s a reason for this though
@@tosinojo7310 I don’t think most people know or care if fake hair is a protective style….most people think of black girls wearing hair extensions as bad because people think you don’t have hair so someone asking if your hair is real is not a compliment or innocent curiosity. why is that a normal question to ask anyway? does it matter if its her hair or not? what does that change? do you respect her less if her hair is fake? i know people ask black women because of stereotypes but it is especially weird seeing this happen to a mixed woman from another black man because i thought he would understand better how that comment comes off. but its weird that he has never asked nonblack women if their hair is fake in his other videos even when other women had quite impressive hairstyles themselves so its a valid concern to raise whether or not you personally feel offended…btw i dont know anyone not black who has been asked if their hair was real..even when me and my friends wore extensions to our hips people told us they want to grow their hair out like ours and want tips! only my black friends get asked if their hair is real first.
She seems sweet I hope things go well for her. Even though I’m not mixed I still feel like I don’t belong in my culture. Some have a way of making you feel excluded if you don’t measure up to their expectations or act certain ways. It would be nice to meet ppl who embrace diversity more
I'm half korean and black. Just like anybody else I'm use to seeing myself in the mirror. However, when I see other korean and black people in the world (rare) I am just mesmerized. So beautiful.
You are a good looking dude , but wouldn't that be half Korean and Half american ? . I am just the regular boring biracial black and white ( well african - european ) . i don't personally get comments on my features. My albinism distracts from it . folk are only surprised when i let it known that on both sides of my family the white and the black one. my grand parents are both albinos AND THEY ARE BESTIES.
I'm Kenyan and I'm sorry to hear she didn't feel fully Kenyan because she felt a barrier based on her looks. I can relate to her in another way in that I look Kenyan but I've spent my life more out of Kenya than in Kenya so I don't sound or know a lot about life in Kenya. I've definitely felt that barrier but I've recognised it's more curiosity that they relate with you but can't fully understand you. We're naturally a curious community to foreigners because Kenya is a tourist hub and want to learn more about that person, even if they say they ARE Kenyan.
I get you, I am also fully Kenyan by blood but I lived abroad and this is year 2 after returning. I feel lost back home, and cannot relate alot. Usually get happy when I meet third culture kids coz they can relate but so far I am trying to relearn and reclaim my true kenyan Identity. It’s very tough. Especially the way I speak, I get asked a lot coz my accent is like a mixture of a lot especially the people I came across. I speak and understand fluent swahili but my accent betrays me 😂 so sometimes I am overcharged chille but either way, am glad to see am not the only one.
@@moriahminji You basically just described my experience!! I speak fluent Swahili too but wooii my accent exposes me so hard! I've noticed that I tend to talk really fast to try and conceal it 😂

Very inspiring content - I really wanna make some of these videos as well, about growing up mix-raced in different countries! So far I have made a handful of videos from Brazil, Argentina and Denmark - from Colombia soon!
i think you need to make the effort of having contented centered around continental african people. your page is super beige or light light brown . Read up on the target 10 african nations and their cultures and languages WITHIN their nations. people will respond with enthusiasm. Now of course it takes you not having hang ups . now that i onno
@@PHlophe thanks for the answer! Do you have any ressources/links where I can read about "the target 10"? I will try and make videos with people with african backgrounds in the countries I am in - currently in Colombia and Brazil!
That is the kind of girl that Koreans actually love in their descriptions without the white standard nonsense! She is extremely naturally very beautiful with esthetically relatable Korean physical features, bubbly, girl next door vibes, dimples, cute, smart and the rest that. She is the type that the hero in a drama would actually fall in love with at the end of it all except reality hits different with superficial needs. Bless!!!
Oh my goodness, you took the words out my mouth. I believe she will be married in a year. What Korean young man wouldn’t want to date, love, marry and take care of her. They could teach each other. Korean young men with confidence, she’s a total gem. Such a beautiful sweet and kind and respectful young lady. I do believe she’s a daddy’s girl as well.😊🥰
I completely agree as a Korean American, but reading the comments from Korean people in 한글 on some youtube channels like K-Doc featuring black and Korean marriages makes my blood boil. As much as we want equality, some Koreans are still in the mindset full of superficiality.
She's definitely carrying the true Kenyan spirit of openness to conjugate with other cultures. It doesn't matter if she has an American accent, she's carrying the true Pride of Africa and that is fellowship and love beyond race and physical appearances.
I live near DC and she's totally correct it's very diverse here, good jobs and salaries. As a mixed African woman I understand and identify with what she's saying. Very interesting interview 👍 ❤
@@KangTheDigitalNomadGlobeTreker She has the mannerisms of her father’s side, and learning her Korean mom’s side. At any rate, she’s an extremely smart, articulate, and intellectual young lady with a great future. While she’s in Korea, she will encounter a lot of her mom’s culture. In Korea, the biggest culture items that will grant you respect, is your food choices, whom you date, their Hangul language, honorifics, respect for your elders, and your work ethnics. If you get these right, you’re good. Oh! Try some Soju, beer, karaoke and Korean fried chicken all in one night. 😂
@@patriciajackson6285 you whittled an entire culture down to beer, chicken, Shocking note: I've lived in Korea my 3rd wife was Korean before she passed. Enjoy your Soju. Be well.

She’s giving the culture a try, as he is undoubtedly ethnically related to it. An interview a year from now would be interesting to see if she still wouldn’t identify that much as Korean or viceversa.
Exactly. I believe in a year, some confident young well respected Korean man will introduce himself and the rest is probably history. She’s a gem. A total gem😊. So beautiful and smart and articulate and love her parents. Actually, it seems she loves all without prejudice. So sweet. What a nice young lady she is.
I don't think she would be interested in a Korean guy, it seems she has had very little exposure to Koreans or Korean culture except for her mom.@@patriciajackson6285
As a mixed person I understand what she means by "not being able to identify as a specific race". She seems like such a friendly person to be around and is s open to new cultures and people!
@@rafaelw8115 who said we don't love ourselves just because we appreciate people who are half us, they are still human and half her bloodline is Kenyan. And if I may ask in this day and age do all Kenyans know their mother tongue? No they are not ,i love being an African and especially Kenyan so don't assume stuff.
@@rafaelw8115 There is where you are wrong also, there are people in my country who are not Mzungus and they look exactly like her, I am not saying that we don't have people in my country who idolize white people there are there, same to other countries even the USA, what I am saying even if she doesn't look like it and doesn't speak the language the other half of her(parent)is Kenyan that fact we can't hide from. And there are so many interracial couples and marriages happening nowadays that the kids being born are half and half of their parents, it's their parents to teach them their culture.
I live in The DMV (DC/Maryland/Virginia) area on the Maryland side in Potomac. This area is INCREDIBLY diverse. Im right outside of Rockville MD which has a deep Asian influence. Lots of amazing restaurants and my SIL (first generation Chinese) and her family live there. The broader area has amazing African food and hang out spots, plus so much more. On the topic of family lol I believe my married family is just so diverse because of the area. My older SIL is Chinese, Im Black, my younger SIL is first generation Scottish. The cousins are going to be a beautiful rainbow of babies lol Its difficult to stay within racial boundaries around here because everyone is so culturally diverse as she said! Our husbands are all incredibly white too which I think is the most beautiful thing. They didnt feel the need to shed their culture in order to accept and embrace our cultures and I love that! Im probably never leaving (Unless we move to Korea for a few years, but Ive gotta work on my Korean more first 😂)
Watching this video had me saying “SAMMEEEEE” from start to finish, what are the odds that I’m half Kenyan too and raised in Atlanta, GA and moving to Korea soon too! 😭
BEAUTIFUL !!! you are an amazing young lady.. the ending lol .. she is so adorable.. Good luck to you young lady, i hope you get to meet a bunch of new friends and set your own roots in Korea.
The more I watch these videos, the more I realize that identity issues are prevalent for anyone who doesn’t fit neatly into one box. For instance I am 100% Chinese but born and raised in the US. Never fully belonging to either country, culture or its people. My friend is a Vietnamese woman adopted by white Americans. She has no connection to her Vietnamese heritage yet her adopted family’s history and ancestors don’t fully belong to her either. And it sounds like mixed race or mixed ethnicity people struggle with a similar sense of neither here nor there.
❤ from 🇰🇪. You're a beautiful person and an authentic rep of the different cultures that are a part of your unique makeup. Thank you for sharing your experiences and perspective. Blessings to you and yours 😊.
Very interesting! My Dad is Half Sudanese Half Egyptian and my mom is Half Hispanic Filipina but i grew up in Saudi then moved to Manila for Highschool and College, Now living in United Arab Emirates since 2014 i really do confuse a lot of people and my interest is traveling korea and japan etc. Ive also been to Sudan and Egypt but never visit Spain but i look mostly Hispanic out of all my siblings
She is absolutely beautiful, kind and such a sweetheart. Very well read and smart. Blessings bestowed upon her life. 😊 I can understand why she loves DC, it’s such a unique city and so attractive to the young and professionals.😊
Very awesome interview I like mixed people and I believe we need more of them worldwide & we need more acceptance & embracing for such & I personally support this👍🏻 I'm mixed myself and understand the struggles very well, I'm mixed with two very different Arabic countries but none felt like home at all & I simply don't fit in in anything cultural or personality wise either and the internet is the main outlet and savior regarding everything for me financially mentally and socially. I support the peaceful differences and know that it brings more peace into this world and hopefully there would communities just for this specific topic. Also both of you have nice soft voices so it was very nice to listen to this awesome interview👍🏻

I don't think she would be interested in a Korean guy, it seems she has had very little exposure to Koreans or Korean culture except for her mom.@@patriciajackson6285
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
You are pretty good at asking the right questions in the right time. Props to you
Juanito, Pero he is a journalist
@@PHlophe so that is why 😭
she is so darn adorable. What an amazing culture mix. love it.
Such a good video 🇰🇪 represent
This interview is phenomenal ❤❤❤
Loved the interview. Also, she's gorgeous!
As a mixed person I understand what she means by "not being able to identify as a specific race". She seems like such a friendly person to be around and is s open to new cultures and people!
Black father & non black mother ❤❤❤
It's great that she able to explore both sides of her families and culture. She would be great if she decide to have a channel. 👏👏
Welcome home. Hope your experiences here in Korea will be great and your Korean identity will help you along your way.
Yes especially since her mom was adopted and lost that opportunity
She's adorable. I love her outlook on life.
As a Kenyan I can confirm that she is a kenyan
She's such a fine eclectic young lady. Love that she embraces her Kenyan origin.
Love from Nigeria 🖤
Great interview she has an awesome personality. Real citizen of the world. Great channel respect 👊🏽
Girl you are amazing, and as a Kenyan you have represented as well, have fun in Korea.
@@rafaelw8115 who said we don't love ourselves just because we appreciate people who are half us, they are still human and half her bloodline is Kenyan. And if I may ask in this day and age do all Kenyans know their mother tongue? No they are not ,i love being an African and especially Kenyan so don't assume stuff.
@@rafaelw8115 There is where you are wrong also, there are people in my country who are not Mzungus and they look exactly like her, I am not saying that we don't have people in my country who idolize white people there are there, same to other countries even the USA, what I am saying even if she doesn't look like it and doesn't speak the language the other half of her(parent)is Kenyan that fact we can't hide from. And there are so many interracial couples and marriages happening nowadays that the kids being born are half and half of their parents, it's their parents to teach them their culture.
A well spoken individual, very grounded and mature. Good luck with your endeavors.
What a lovely person. Wish her much love, every success, and, her own safe place or space.🤩🤩
I live in The DMV (DC/Maryland/Virginia) area on the Maryland side in Potomac.
This area is INCREDIBLY diverse. Im right outside of Rockville MD which has a deep Asian influence. Lots of amazing restaurants and my SIL (first generation Chinese) and her family live there. The broader area has amazing African food and hang out spots, plus so much more.
On the topic of family lol I believe my married family is just so diverse because of the area. My older SIL is Chinese, Im Black, my younger SIL is first generation Scottish. The cousins are going to be a beautiful rainbow of babies lol
Its difficult to stay within racial boundaries around here because everyone is so culturally diverse as she said!
Our husbands are all incredibly white too which I think is the most beautiful thing. They didnt feel the need to shed their culture in order to accept and embrace our cultures and I love that!
Im probably never leaving (Unless we move to Korea for a few years, but Ive gotta work on my Korean more first 😂)
Watching this video had me saying “SAMMEEEEE” from start to finish, what are the odds that I’m half Kenyan too and raised in Atlanta, GA and moving to Korea soon too! 😭
this was my favourite interview yet.
이 채널은 항상 인터뷰 하시는분들 섭외 잘하시는것같아요.
BEAUTIFUL !!! you are an amazing young lady.. the ending lol .. she is so adorable.. Good luck to you young lady, i hope you get to meet a bunch of new friends and set your own roots in Korea.
Her smile is so pretty. 😍😍
The way she talks... I just loved it. It'll be an absolute pleasure to make friends like her.☺☺
The more I watch these videos, the more I realize that identity issues are prevalent for anyone who doesn’t fit neatly into one box. For instance I am 100% Chinese but born and raised in the US. Never fully belonging to either country, culture or its people. My friend is a Vietnamese woman adopted by white Americans. She has no connection to her Vietnamese heritage yet her adopted family’s history and ancestors don’t fully belong to her either. And it sounds like mixed race or mixed ethnicity people struggle with a similar sense of neither here nor there.
Shes so cute and well spoken... really enjoyed watching the interview
Love this episode ....🇰🇪🇰🇪
Your stunning!!! I love that you explained things very well. Good luck young lady! May you have a joyful happy life.
She's so sweeeeeet! I wish her a lovely stay in Korea and hope to build some good roots here! :)
What a sweet young lady. I enjoyed this interview immensely 😊
Stunning combo…beautiful!!!
❤ from 🇰🇪. You're a beautiful person and an authentic rep of the different cultures that are a part of your unique makeup. Thank you for sharing your experiences and perspective. Blessings to you and yours 😊.
She's so niceee. Love from Kenya 😌💓
I love her hair! My niece has naturally beautiful hair like hers and the last time my wife and her saw her, she'd had it straightened 😢.
Aw. I can only hope that she doesn't think straight is better and that she appreciates the options she has!
She is sooo pretty and she seems so friendly. Good luck 🥰
This interview made me smile 😊
Very interesting! My Dad is Half Sudanese Half Egyptian and my mom is Half Hispanic Filipina but i grew up in Saudi then moved to Manila for Highschool and College, Now living in United Arab Emirates since 2014 i really do confuse a lot of people and my interest is traveling korea and japan etc. Ive also been to Sudan and Egypt but never visit Spain but i look mostly Hispanic out of all my siblings
You speak Arabic? Tagalog?
Okay I'm shipping the interviewer and the interviewee! I smell chemistry 😊😍🎉
She is absolutely beautiful, kind and such a sweetheart. Very well read and smart. Blessings bestowed upon her life. 😊 I can understand why she loves DC, it’s such a unique city and so attractive to the young and professionals.😊
As a Kenyan, I will say indeed we are truly friendly. Having lived in other African countries, for sure we are a friendly bunch:)
Kwani nyinyi mko kila mahali
Very awesome interview I like mixed people and I believe we need more of them worldwide & we need more acceptance & embracing for such & I personally support this👍🏻
I'm mixed myself and understand the struggles very well, I'm mixed with two very different Arabic countries but none felt like home at all & I simply don't fit in in anything cultural or personality wise either and the internet is the main outlet and savior regarding everything for me financially mentally and socially. I support the peaceful differences and know that it brings more peace into this world and hopefully there would communities just for this specific topic.
Also both of you have nice soft voices so it was very nice to listen to this awesome interview👍🏻
Woah 😲 she’s beautiful
Great interview and it's so good to encounter people from all backgrounds.
Amazing! She is so BEAUTIFUL!
she is so beautiful ❤
Very good interview!
Sending many hugs to you. I am Kenyan and just happy to see a person who is from my country🇰🇪
She is a beautiful person in and out.. you can tell how by how she talks....
Her humbleness and friendliness is definitely kenya 🇰🇪 ❤
She seems really awesome!! 😎😊 Team Kenya all the way ! 😁
lol I feel like my boy was thinking the whole time like "yes she is the one" he seemed to fumble a couple of times
I thought he liked her too lol
She probably would rather date a cute mixed boy or someone white/latino (different ethnicity than her).
She's so cool! And gorgeous ❤ you go girl
Pure awesomeness and beauty!! lots of love. the youtuber coundnt believe that she was really into kenya! lol guddoz!
She’s lived a very interesting life. Would love to follow her journey
She is so beautiful..great interview...hope she one day embraces her Korean roots...and all that she is made of...just absolutely beautiful...
I find the two of you together look really good.
This gal is so sweet!! I enjoyed this interview. all the best in Seoul :)
She's so beautiful and intelligent. What a great experience to live abroad! I hope she enjoys her time in Korea before returning to the U.S. :o)
She's flippin' adorable!
