I think the easiest thing is for people to understand that when Africans move to the U.S as immigrants, there is a lot of acculturation they have to go through in order to have a smooth transition into American society. It is no different for a Black American moving to Tanzania. Also I think the best advice Biggs gave was to spend 3-6 months in any country you're thinking about moving to first. Go back, then decide if you truly wanna make it a permanent move.
💯
Thank you! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Black Americans need to wake up! A lot of the people of color in America have a family tree that has been in America for a very long time and is not Africans but indigenous to America! The slave was exaggerated for political reasons!
You're right -- coming from an African who spent time in the US.
Exactly!
As a Zanzibari Tanzanian who's lives in different regions, this is what I can tell you how to navigate this country. Build networks of people. You want a visa, you want a house, you want to set up a business etc. Ask yourself who can I contact to help me with ____? If you become so good at that, you'll live like a king. Never depend on the system. The system is broken.
Hi there 👋🏽 I was hoping you might answer a question for me, my birthday is in April next year and I’d love to come to Zanzibar but I read it’s the rainy season, when they say rainy season do they mean it’s not worth coming at all, it rains all day or is it still worth while to visit ?
@@leemasha687 it's not that bad. You should definitely visit.
Sister, I thank you for the info. I can really appreciate you. Yours is really the only video in which I have seen, where you are completely honest, you provide a lot of pecific information and you dont beg for money for every little piece of advise. To be honest if your info is good, people will just give to you. If money runs after you then people will just give you. I like how you just provide a lot of the simple, but imperative things for life. You Go Girl! Keep it up.
amazing advice its highly important, crucial, and critical to be resourceful especially as a black person/people. ✊🏾🙏🏾😌
Very good advice
You do not choose africa. Africa chooses you. This is so true. I have seen it again and again
@Umbuko DaJuko It's not wierd at all. I personally have this experience as an African it's somewhat spiritual and inexplicable! I feel a deep connection with the earth when the sky is blue and the sun is hot! It so surreal! My sister and I talked about this only 3 days ago!
@Umbuko DaJuko I'm African though! But I've experienced that feeling over and over again! Heed to that call!
Now that I live in Africa I do not necessarily think Africa chooses the person. I thought so too because that is part of the romanticizing of Africa. I think what really happens is that when you come with a proper game plan and money coming in monthly like some people may do, life is far easier in Africa. Compared to the TOXIC west, Africa is like a far and away paradise. You can finally sit back and relax. In this sense it feels like Africa embraces you, when in reality you simply moved to a place with a better environment that suits your needs.

Africa is not for everyone.
I absolutely loved this discussion! I am from Barbados 🇧🇧 and I moved to Angola 🇦🇴 to be with my husband. Thank goodness that I moved with a very open mind and understanding that I had to relearn so many things in my new life. But I have had the privilege of living and working throughout the Caribbean and understanding that cultures, norms and customs are different even between islands so just imagine here on the continent!
How Rihanna doing??? 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow., Being from Angola, all i have to say is, Welcome home Sister. We Melanated people know that we will be fine.
I am from Angola too
Welcome Sister
@@ittakesavillage5867 thank you!!! 😌
Angola wow, now that's different. It has always been on my bucket list. My love was from Angola and introduced me to Matias damasio been hooked ever since. I hope you're well out there.
You are setting yourself up for failure if you move your whole family to a continent you know next to nothing about. Tanzania is not Ghana, Rwanda is not Kenya all African countries are different and they are definitely VERY different to America ! If you have Never left the USA, Africa will be a whole CULTURE SHOCK! If you are to move make sure you have a steady income especially in foreign currency. Also don’t move just because CZcamsrs are “ living their best life in Africa “ 🙄
@Stephanie Ellison u went to School too much 🎩
Superb analysis.
I thought I would get culture shock. I wonder why it didn't happen to me yet.
@Stephanie Ellison True, I thought I would experience it right away like other people did.

u so funny. U not unfortunate, u see, u smart in public comments!
"U went to School too much "

Technically we are Africans
In Tz, time is not money, but time is relationship with people! Yes, it is a paradigm shift. I’m a Tanzanian who live in the U.S. I have lived here for over 30 years, yet I’m still a foreigner here!
Upo sahihi kabisa in ur analogy time is not money but relationships with people and relation is money a paradigm shift indeed
Stephen your surname sounds like Sotho, do you have family in SA?
no ne kicked you out and sound like you have endless no requirements to stay here..like I said this should before black Americans in Tanzania
Yes time and relationships. That's pretty much the same all over Africa. Connection with people leads u to make money. Being a time police does not work in a place where people like to be flexible 😉
@Paul McCreary MEN of GOD control AFRICA
Finally, diasporans who understand Africans. being Tanzanian, I found this discussion amazing. I've lived in America almost all my life and always tell diasporans you can't go to Africa and impose your way of thinking just because you are black. this concept of black is foreign to Africa, we are not all the same. Even I being African, can't go to Ghana and not have to adapt. You are a foreigner the same way I'm a foreigner in Washington DC or New York. The onus is on you to learn and respect the culture.
I think that African Americans are trying to do to much.Buying to much land and houses to fast while some people get jealous.They are doing the same thing in Latin America.Blacks can not do like the Chinese and the Indians.
@Paul McCreary I understand and for the most part, agree with your views. All I can add is that there is no "African" stance towards Black Americans as Africa is such a vast and diverse continent, that there are multiple stances to Black americans. You will find that in West Africa there are more initiatives aimed at returning African Americans, but that makes sense since the overwhelming majority of African Americans are of West African/Central African origin, I think north of 90%. honestly speaking in East Africa we don't view it as returning Africans, just black foreigners. Though there is empathy and understanding, the cultural and historic ties are not there.
@Paul McCreary With such an antagonist and bullying mindset, you remain in US cos no African country will accept you with your attitude.
You're planning to colonise Africa that came out of colonialism by Europe not too long ago? Gudluck with that, dude....
@Paul McCreary Again, for the most part, I agree with, most of what you are saying. My caveats are as followed. As much as some would have it other African Americans are exactly that "African American" there is no such thing as Aboriginal black. there is no scientific or historical evidence for such a theory. secondly "black" isn't a race or ethnicity, it is a color, the absence of light, complete darkness. As much as some attribute positive aspects to it, their definition and origin can not be changed. It is a term originating in the transatlantic slave trade. Yes, most Ado Americans have European Ancestry but if you do a DNA test, the "black" in you is African, not Aboriginal black, I believe only about 3% even have native American DNA.
lastly, Africans have always supported the African American struggle in the Americas not just the USA. there is plenty of evidence of that. Every immigrant group, not just African, but Asian, Arab, etc have benefited from the hard work and changes to American society. No one contests that, but African Americans will never colonize africa. you over-estimate Ado Americans' financial strength. Africans are already the most educated immigrant group in America, successful in all sectors, even produced the first African President e.g Obama. So I think you should reconsider this line of thinking, let us focus on how we can connect on what we share and respect our differences.
U ppl love black Americans
I moved to Ghana from USA and I'm so happy, great information thank you!

I’ve been checking out the different videos this on Facebook of the Black people that have moved to Africa and talking about the difference so it’s a lot of us that’s getting the feel of it and hopefully one day I’ll get to go visit if nothing else before I leave this earth
This is the most accurate description of living in Africa as a diasporan that I have seen so far. I think part of the reason people get disappointed is that most do not watch TV channels from the respective countries that they are going to. Watching the local news will give you a small glimpse of what you are walking into. Moving to a country that is unlike what you are used to is always a challenge, and it get's harder with age.
Can anyone recommend tv shows for dar and zanzibar?

For people that doesn't know this, Africa is Expensive. Its often portrayed on the media as a poor continent in terms of economic development, but that isn't implied in every region. From studies, Africa has a lot of middle class. If you're relocating to Africa, you should have your mind made up and ready to invest in the continent in other to receive steady income. Cos honestly, everyone is striving here and entrepreneurship is the key to making stable income in Africa. Own a business or establishment, you're good to go.
Other than Angola and certain cities such as Dakar Africa is very inexpensive as long you don't stay in the hotels intended for foreigners.
@@sportsactuary8574 wrong. Shows how little you know. There are many major cities in Africa and all of them can be expensive.
@@simpletruth1369 I have visited 11 African countries. Other than the one in which you were born how many have you visited? Last time I was in Sunyani I spent US $4.00 a night for lodging.

I cannot agree more with Biggs, it’s a Pay to play society here and everything is possible when we check our attitude on the plane door, he hit it right on the head. Wow, you guys make it so easy to understand. Thank you both.
Yes yes I totally agree they broke it down perfectly 💯
Didn’t they do an awesome job!?! I didn’t want the video to end! I love these conversations! And its difficult for me to find people on this level of thought and lived expertise about being a part of the Diaspora that relocated to Africa. Do you live in Tanzania?
czcams.com/video/In_aRRkzZak/video.html
@@ubuntu6929 it really is hard for people to understand that, it’s the same wherever you go. Understand the system focus on what works and stop complaining and wanting to change the system and the people. Yes, we are here, July will be 1 year and as hard as it gets sometimes, We are here to stay as long as we can.
Is pay to play for whites and asians as well?. Cuz they seem to set up shop very easy in many countries on the continent.
We thought you do not want to come back or stay here, but we didn't know how much difficulties you are facing... About us(citizens of Tanzania) give us time i know you are just start coming.... AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE FROM DIFFERENT CULTURE ALTHOUGH WE CHILDREN OF MAMA AFRICA LAND.. LOVE FROM 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿.
I don't understand why too many people move to Africa with their savings. You need to have constant income, otherwise you will run out of money very quickly. For example, if you have $1000 in savings and the time you spend $1, you no longer have that $1000. Keep that in mind
They forget about that and start complaining .And Tanzania they have alots of tourist atractions
I disagree. If you have enough to last the time you need to start at least one business that can cash flow relatively soon, you can make it work, also depending on you living within your means. You can come with a lump of cash and make it work.
@Koqui Onefourteen Your write up resonated with me. Thank you for taking the time.
Great truth!
czcams.com/video/In_aRRkzZakk/video.html
as a repat to Ghana i find that some diaspora's do not interact well with the natives at all/ i did / as a result i bought land, build a house, received my residency, and have a drivers license! Get to know our people! Why not? is the question
Tooo many people are coming here on their savings, they run out of money and blame Tanzania. People out here are straight up hustling and you think you dont have to? You need to hustle to survive that's life. You should never ever come to ANY country on a savings without having any constant income coming in or have a hustle plan.
Real talk
Exactly
Truth
Dada you're very straight to the point, appreciate you comment so much
Are they gone or still in Tz?
It all boils down to your research, research, research, preparation, due Diligence, trial and error, etc as to whether there will be success of your time in Africa. I arrived in December 2020 and loving every moment to this day - I am still here on the island of Zanzibar. I have organically learned to speak Kiswahili although I am not fully fluent, I automatically speak Kiswahili first and foremost and mix it with English. I learn new words and phrases daily. I visited Nairobi, Kenya for about a week and loved it there too. I love Africa, period. Nakutakia siku mjema. Asante sana 🖤🖤🖤🖤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

You are 100% correct. If you decide to move and live in Africa you have to get to know African ways and get ready for it. You have to change the ways you are accustomed to in the West and adapt to the African ways. It is very hard move! Myself Having lived in North America for over 3 decades, and visited Africa Evry year or couple of years for holiday all those years, I still face tough times to adapt to the systems. But because I feel deeply attached to Mama Afrika, now I have reached a point of enjoying it, without cursing too much. It is the best place to be if you have already understood their way of living, and instead of focussing on changing it, focus on adapting and enjoy it, and thinking of what can you do to improve the lives of poor Africans and your contribution to the development of our Mama Africa. Then you will realize that AFRICA IS A REAL PARADISE INDEED.
@@nakho3550 you're making a moot point

Great interview! Thanks for sharing. My husband and I hv been here in Ghana for 5months. We sold EVERYTHING (business and house) in Texas and bought a one way ticket. Glad to be home
#Gangsta! Y'all got it. Hang tough, hang together. I lived in Egypt for six years. A different kinda expat experience. When I think about going back vs. somewhere else in Africa - I have pangs of guilt about exporting my capitalist indoctrination, but gotta eat, live indoors and meet my basic & "good life" needs. May you both find the balance. Peace & Blessings.
As an African in US for over a decade now, I still have to say this to myself e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y: "easy, know that it's their way and while you're here, you'll have to do it their way. I don't like the American way but I cannot impose my way on them. I have to adapt myself to their way." WHEN IN ROME, DO AS ROMANS!!

This was a much needed conversation. Thank you for sharing! I met Biggs a couple of times when I was living in TZ. He is a wealth of knowledge and doesn't mind sharing information. I felt it when you said "We have a lot more to learn from them than they have to learn from us." I wish people would get that through their heads before they come out here.
Wow! That point Mr. Biggs made about Diasporans being bred (only the strong survive) vs. those on the continent having long-distance endurance was SO profound! I've never thought of it that way. And yes we all sure do have a lot to learn from each other. It seems that open-mindedness and humility are key in a successful relocation to the Continent
It was very evident when I visited. You can see the differences. My son is over 6ft tall and he was one of the tallest and thickest. Our mindset is very different, things we are accustomed to is not thought of over there, that will make you ask why is this like that or why aren't you doing it this way or that way because it would be easier..The west is about time is money so the more efficient, the more money can be made. Not that way there
Humility will win you friends and open so many doors
Y’all hit it on the influx situation of making immigration more aware now. We wanted to change our visas in the future but that was until we figured out what route to take. The language barrier is a huge hinderance also. Unfortunately people also I believe felt rushed to come over because of circumstances very anxious to get out of certain situations in some other countries. We stayed for almost 4 months in Tanzania if we ever return we will definitely obtain the right type of visas it’s just no work around anymore like it was before because of the influx and that caught us off guard and others I’m sure. But I’m grateful to God for the time me and my family were there! We are more humbled from the experience and we have a lifetime of memories we will never forget! Peace and blessing!

Tanzania has captured my heart ♥️!
I'm so ready to start my life in Tanzania, but when I'm watching all these videos, people are in their 20,30,40's! I'm mid 50 and Caucasian.

I hope you get several " MILLION VIEWS " FOR THIS VIDEO....
Most of this was common sense sis. If you moved to South Korea or Norway most of this will still apply.
That’s a very beautiful setting for this video!!!
Yes, Africa is a very spiritual place, but some don’t grasp that coming from the West!!! He said it so eloquently; “You don’t choose Africa, Africa chooses you.” Don’t go to Africa to Westernize Africa, go there in humility and be ready to be transformed to a better version of yourself!!! It takes a greater level of spiritual maturity to thrive in Africa and I love that both of you are thriving there!!!
Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
I love this video! You guys are real and true children of the motherland. Thank you for your positive views on the continent. I'm sick and tired of Western media portraying Africa as a poverty stricken, disease laden place to be manipulated and exploited. We are people just like other people. We love, and live, yes we make mistakes, and have our faults and misgivings but we also strive to be and do better. All the best as you lay claim to your home. Welcome home. 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🏘️🏘️
This guy is intelligent! His wisdom is unmatched by anyone I know talking about diaspora on CZcams or anywhere else. He talks about the foundation of an African mindset better than Africans who have lived on the continent all their life!
Seasoning is not big in Arusha, but it’s big in Dar and Zanzibar. I loved well-seasoned food because I grew up on seasoned hot food.
What gets me is that you would think this was common knowledge. All the warnings and truth that Biggs and Kat speak is 100 and I’ve always said to myself these are the things I would need to consider and it led me to just being fine with making extended visits but never permanently relocating.
czcams.com/video/In_aRRkzZak/video.html
I feel like that's going to be the same for me because I prefer a faster pace of life. I just don't see myself being able to slow down before 80! LOL
That's how I saw it. Like this is common basic knowledge. But I guess it's different because I'm a Trinidadian and grew up with that cultural awareness. Everything they're saying is what I knew before moving to the motherland.
100% spot on....Have realistic expectations, get your passive income in place BEFORE you come, do thorough research and don't rush into any hasty decisions...pole pole....
Finally as a Tanzanian, it is good to stumble upon (in my opinion) a really honest conversation regarding moving to and living in Tanzania and it's ups and downs, ins and outs. Biggs really summed it up well! Kudos!
We are children of the earth - there is no place we don't belong or any place we must be. Go where you are celebrated and you can celebrate where you are - sometimes it takes a nomadic journey to find it. I wanted to go to Africa but I ended up in Trinidad and do not want to leave. Africa should not be a goal - happiness should be and that starts inside of you.

Thanks guys, really love your advice.
Many in the Diaspora are used to being in an oppressed state where being an independent thinker is looked down upon. Regardless of our level of education, we work at jobs where individualism and creativity are suppressed. It instills apathy and a kind of laziness. Having said that, we have way too much info available to us for us to not do the basic research of moving to another continent or country!!! Many who are transitioning to Africa arrive expecting to be hand-held and told everything to do. Africa is not the West!! You need to have an entrepreneurial spirit about all aspects of life....in other words, you can't move to Africa with an employee mentality. You must have a strong sense of self-sufficiency and work ethic. Sadly, some of us will put more effort into deciding on a vacation back in the U.S. or a party outfit to buy than the necessary homework that expatriating requires.
Nah they leaving cause a president was murdered and nobody gives a da. Now Tanzania operating just like the west and we didn't travel thousands of miles to be occupied by covid and western influence.....dats why

A lot of countries hate Americans because we try to be "American" in a foreign land, and it doesn't work. The native people resent it just like Americans resent foreigners not being "American" in America.
@Tiffany Robinson Some Black Americans, yes. Black Americans are still American; we've been in America longer than most other Americans, served in every war, have helped build America from the ground up, and much of what is considered American/Western culture comes from Black Americans. Some foreigners mistakenly see black Americans as not having allegiance or connection to America; however, we are just as rooted in our country/culture as anyone else. Therefore, we are really not much less likely to dislike foreigners not assimilating than other Americans, or people in other countries. We are certainly not immune to that mindset.
I Love this information. So informative. It seems like a person with a pension will do much better than a certain amount of savings..
Very informative. Thank you both.

Thanks for combining to put out so much valuable information in this video. There are lots of differences in the cultures of the people in Africa. One African country can as much as 100 tribes and each tribe has its own unique culture. When I travel from Accra to my village, I try as much as possible to venture out from the house a little late in the morning. The morning greetings just overwhelm me. Even children with ages as low as 7 or 8 years greets you just as an adult will greet you when they meet you in the town. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in Ghana is taken as Ghana Man Time. People do not adhere to agreed meeting times. You will be safe to add 30 minutes or 1 hour to a scheduled time. I agree with you totally when you said time is seen as time and not as money in Africa.
New subs here🙋🏾♀️. 100% truth and informative. Thank you for sharing. 👑
Great Job ! Keeping it Real Thank you ✌🏿
Africa is the most diverse continent on Earth, people often don't understand that Black is not 'one thing' like it is in America.
In America some blacks look white , Asian , Hispanic full blooded Native American like me , ect but are still black .
@@LaAerial yes they are a light skin black man and a light skin black woman have a baby and the baby looks white how is the baby not black when both parents are black Americans?
@@boomboombaby9140 Stop arguing with these people mate. I'm African 100% born and raised in Ghana and when I first moved to LA PLENTY of African Americans told me I wasn't 'black enough'. To a lot of them being 'black' means AA when in reality African Americans are about 75% black where as Africans are 100% (we don't have white ancestors). They think if someone is light skinned or not African American they're not 'black'.
MOST of them are honestly lost. Stop arguing with them or you'll get a headache
@@boomboombaby9140 The one drop rule is an American thing that is the first thing you need to understand. The first paradigm shift is that in Africa that term "black" is applied differently depending on where you are, in South Africa for instance Biggs might be classified as "coloured" which here means mixed race, but in East Africa or Ethiopia where there are more people that possibly look like him he might be classified totally differently. Your problem is that you are using an American point of reference for what is Black whereas others may be using the African point of reference. Both are social constructs.
@@rigbyrigbone5407 my dad is black and Irish my mom is native American . My dad is a black man he doesn't know the white side if his family. There are black people in America with 2 black parents that look more white than my dad . I was raised black , my birth certificate says I'm black , too my family and everyone that knows me I'm black .black Americans a multi race .
This was the best conversation I've listened to in a loooooooong time. Thank you for sharing Traveling Sista. Thank you so much!
I agree. Engaging from start to finish.
Hi
Bless. Great interview ❤️
Love love love this video!! Some one sent me this video! I so appreciate y’all!! 💕🤗
When he said “Blackness is a European concept imposed on us.” Wow
"blackness" is what is currently holding us back the most. Have to get that out of your head and move on.
Before we became BLACK we belonged to lineages/nations. Rmember that my people.We may share the same color but we not the same
Yes negro/black is a race class that was assigned to us in the 1600's.
then I guess "whiteness" is an African concept imposed on Europeans.
@@hasanx4637 europeans invented "whiteness" also. Global caste system.
Americans are used to getting jobs, and I guess from what I hear in a lot of videos, those jobs are not readily available. We all need to become business owners.
To get a job here it's who you know and who knows you. If you just arrived no one knows you, qualifications mean nothing unless you want to work for your country's embassy or something. Most locals are entrepreneurs anyway, everyone has a skill or a trade. If you come here without know how to do something on your own you're gonna have a bit of a challenge unless you have the capital to invest
@Tiffany Robinson ppl of the continent you mean? No one has to say it, it is what it is. One must adapt to and accept a new culture whether they respect it or not is another story.
@Tiffany Robinson I think it's sad someone would prefer to work for someone else instead of being an entrepreneur. Ppl can find employment where there are vacancies. Because most people prefer entrepreneurship and have privately owned companies there's no monopoly of the corporation or chain companies which is awesome. Smaller companies are allowed to flourish on a much larger scale. Much more freedom to do your own thing and not have to worry about being taken over by the Wal-Marts, Mc Donald's, Home Depots and Targets. If someone wants to be an employee at Costco versus creating and selling their own products then live wherever there are Costcos.
@Tiffany Robinson too often we judge other cultures by western standards not realizing the west is not the standard. One love.🤟🏿💛
@Tiffany Robinson cool 🤟🏿💛
Thanks for this video, I needed to watch this. Keep up the good work :)
I had to watch this one again. Very informative, thanks!
