- Why I moved to Africa || Tanzania
Here are the reasons to why I moved to Tanzania Africa. Hopefully it gives you guys somewhat of a background story to what motivated me to make the move. I have now been here for almost 5 months and the time has flown by! Can't believe it's been this long and sometimes I found myself hesitating. Making this video really helped me remember what this move was all about.
Hope you guys enjoy the video!
Hugs, T

She says something very important, why should you travel to Greece, Italy and spend money there whereas you could spend it in Africa and help the continent - just remind me few days ago I had to convince my African business partners to try to hire a Kenyan software developer instead of getting someone from Poland. We Africans need to be smart the way we do things to help ourselves, no matter how much successful you are if Africa is still behind, you will be disadvantage one way or other somewhere in the world ! All I am saying is that we need to mobilize our own resources before asking someone else
PeoplePower HeartOfAfrica Totally agree, we need to change our perception of ourselves and be confident in investing in ourselves in terms of business. Why would anyone else be interested in spending their money on African travel or labor force if we donât even trust it
I agree. Africans need understand that you only learn how to succeed when you take risks, make mistakes, and fail.
And spend it with black owned businesses especially.
Software developer? Hi! I am an technology consultant.
Let's connect.
The older I get, the heavier my heart feels because I have not yet been to the African continent. I donât belong in the US.
Glad you realize that, you belong here Africa ,the home of original & beauty....ya'll welcome our brothers & sister ... blessed
Come visit Senegal. We're building an Expatriate Village
Scottie Scott wow bro Scott I absolutely feel the same way đ
The Queen Within wow please give info
Hi, yes all of these atrocities on our people and know one speaking about justice for our people- they tell you are free? Wow!
Only if black women knew how beautiful they are with an afro hair. Wow.
Silent Lessons not everyone looks beautiful with afro hair
@Eima Gravitz, ahhh well :-)
MyNamed Name
it's the natural hair of the humans species so, yes, EVERYONE looks beautiful with Afro Hair.
@@NoName-mm6gh I disagree. Then again i LOVE black women with their natural hair. I think it enhances their beauty. For me it's deeper than i can express to be honest.
We do
I am South African and I've lived in the USA. The West is very racist and explicitly doesn't care for the growth and liberation of black womxn. The wave of black people moving back to Africa is exciting and empowering!!
Also you have a friend in South Africa Johannesburg!! ( Linda Mbambo.yeni@gmail.com )
Thank you darling, I really want to make my way down to SA so this means a lot
I'm planning on moving Africa but I'm torn between Johannesburg, Ghana, Tanzania and Namibia. I will be coming with my 3 children. What country do you think would be best for us? Any advice is welcomed
@@beautifulrose_bud3054 Will it just be you and the kids? Because I plan on moving there but by myself :(
@@Lundya65 yes just me and my kids
You're so beautiful, and your natural hair is also!
black beauty Thank you so much darling âșïž
TinaSarafina S
True Afrikan Queen! đđđ
I like it too
That's true. The global community of black people should spend their money on Africa, instead of European countries, some of which are very racist towards black people. There are many incredible vacation hot spots in Africa, including, beautiful beaches, mountains to hike, game parks, etc. For the ones who love city life, there are several beautiful cities all across the continent. So visit, vacation, invest, relocate to the motherland. Africa is the future.
Tertullian Tertulian ooh great ideas for my next vacation. đ
Tertullian Tertulian yea
Tertullian Tertulian please watch video of John StJulien re Featherstale
A lot of people can't afford holidays, ponder upon it.
Tertullian Tertulian
Good advise.
She is so beautiful and intelligent too
Thank you for making this video. I am an African American man who #1 has my B.A. in business administration #2 worked in corporate America for years, ran face first into the "glass ceiling" and got tired of it enough to become self-employed. #3 refuses to spend my money in countries that do not value blacks. #4 have researched all 54 countries on the continent of Africa and wishes to see as many of them with my own eyes as I can; damn western media...always accentuating the negative while minimizing the positive of any black "nouns." #5 Tanzania has an awesome President who is making government officials shape up or ship out. That impresses me. As the leader goes so goes the nation. #6 the dual citizenship issue is challenging because I'll be looked at as obroni...akata...foreigner wherever I go...like you. However, I am not dismayed. The Motherland is the place to be...not just from a spiritual perspective, but an economic one. Africa...specifically sub-saharan Africa is projected to experience substantial growth in the near future. The sheer size of the population...combined with the relative lack of overall development equates to great opportunities for those business savvy enough...those with high levels of intestinal fortitude...to travel to the Motherland with eyes that see the diamond in the rough. I wasn't going to comment...but...you hit home with me...even though you are from Sweden and I'm from a small town in Arkansas. Smh lol. Thank you.
#1) My ancestors fought too hard for me to inherit it. #2) Married with children, cannot risk not being able to enter USA to see them. #3) I'm able to generate lots of money for myself stateside...having the ability to make USD and use that money in Africa...from a business owner perspective is very advantageous. My intent is to maintain my company...my identity...my everything stateside...and use it as my base to expand abroad. I have no illusions about the difficulty i will face trying to penetrate a new country with the perception that I am not a native son. I want to be able to utilitize the inherent benefits my USA citizenship gives me to help better my chances of achieving success in Africa. I want my wife and children to be able to have a second home in Africa, with our own business(es) so that the natives do not feel we are "taking" jobs from them...but see us as "creating" jobs for them. Dual citizenship, for me, simply makes my transition easier. Unfortunately, only Ghana has somewhat been open to granting it for African Americans...(to the best of my knowledge).
Wow Iâm so glad that you did decide to comment, makes me realize that black people in the diaspora face similar challenges/excitement when it comes to experiencing, learning and working in the African context. Very inspiring to hear that you managed to create your own business and hopefully one day youâll find an opportunity to extend it to an African country creating jobs if thatâs what you wish to do. And yes, the current Tanzanian president is doing some massive clean up in the government and private sector trying to eradicate corruption on all levels and tax evasion. I just hope that his tough tactics does not lead to increased bureaucracy and control which will deter FDI.
@jarrod black...I would advise that first thing you do, once you get to Tanzania, is to learn Swahili--at least some basics. You don't have to, but if you do it helps. That'll add to your arsenal as you venture out to relocate and do business in Tanzania. Good luck my brother.
jarrod black jesus I refuse to read all this from u
The obruni word is used in ghana however im not sure the worf used in tanzania. We are visiting there this summer too.
So pro African, so positive and so young. Just love you! Your parents have taught you well.
Well done.. Africa is the future Joining u soon my sister
Seriously? Am in Africa Tanzania and will trade everything to leave in the States am always day dreaming of leaving abroad I feel like life is good over there am totally jealous of you don't come back please
You made the right choice darling.
I went back to Nigeria for a year when I finished uni 10 years ago. I myself was raised in the UK and still live here now, but that was one of the best decisions I made in my life and I one day want to move back permanently. Europe has been cool but it's never felt like home to me.
BeachChairz Thatâs amazing! So far Iâm so happy with my decision and like you I hope to move here permanently in the future âșïž
That's the spirit babes. I tell you this too, more of us should be going back or connecting with our people there because others are taking over rapidly. I assume it's the same in Tanzania right?
BeachChairz
Itâs a shame thereâs so much corruption in Nigeria. For a country with such a rich heritage and history the Nigerian people deserve so much better. Corruption is the biggest poison infecting Africa right now.
One thing I will say is this. I am not African myself but as an Armenian I just want to express how proud I am of you Nigerians. Every day Armenians are leaving the motherland because they would rather run away then stay home and try to make things better and fix our corrupt administration. Nigerians leave Nigeria but I have heard many of you guys either go back eventually or at least collectively donate millions to your motherland to help lift her up. I wish half of us Armenians had the pride and patriotism of you Nigerians.
God bless you and grant you and your people prosperity. You deserve it.
Yes! For example, most tourist companies that offer safari trips, kilimanjaro climbing and Zanzibar hotels, restaurants are overwhelmingly westerners.
@Sako Gekychyan
Much respect man. Glad you see what I see.
Any country outside of your motherland is just a temporary hiding place lol So why not stay home and fix home?!
Girl i feel you on a spiritual level about exploring more of Africa ans keeping the money in the 'family'. Kindred spirit
blaq coco Thank you so much for watching darling! Iâm glad you liked it âșïž
blaq coco Amen
I love the fact that you stepped out of your comfort zone to move to Africa. Africa is a beautiful continent with beautiful people. And yes we need to invest in Africa our lovely motherland. For the diasporas please do not forget your motherland, bring your knowledge and skills back home.
I am currently in Canada and I cannot wait to move back to my beautiful home country Kenya to invest in and create employment for our youths and teach them the knowledge and skills I am getting here and challenge them to be young entrepreneurs
I fell in like with you when I first saw your beautiful face. I fell in love with you when you said âwhy should I spend my money with Greece, Italy, or Spain and put money in their pockets when for real they donât even treat OUR people the way they deserve to be treated.â Words well spoken my Queen. A heart full of love for you from a black brother trapped in the United States. P.S. I found your vid because Iâm researching Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana as places to relocate to. Please wish me blessings on my journey as I wish the same for you.
You made a lot of good points. Putting money back in Africa
I'm moving to Tanzania, too.
zabbok oh thatâs awesome! You should get in contact with me if Iâm still here when you do the move âșïž
I do hope you're still there. I would like to spend a couple of years teaching in Africa after I graduate. My top three countries are Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
I'd advice you to visit first and see what you think..... it's a different culture.... some take to it like a duck to water but some struggle with the change. It's quite a commitment.
I have visited Tanzania before itâs so beautiful. I didnât get the tourist visit that others get but I still enjoyed myself. I move to Tanzania April 4th
@@sylviaclaud777 me too but I don't know how now I'm doing some researchs
I'm currently living in Vietnam. My husband wants to move to a predominantly black country.(we have the Caribbean in mind). Maybe we should consider a country in Africa. It never crossed our minds.
DearJRenae Go to Africa...Carribeans have race war between black and Indian populations (Guyana, Suriname,etc)...and they limit and deny blackness there (latino/spanish speaking parts). Spanish deny anything black! Afro latinos got identity issues too....no representation despite large demographic.
Linda Yeni Africa is just as homophobic as any Caribbean place
Zagga Zou that's relative. South Africa has legal married and policies to protect lgbt+ bodies although social homophobia may exist in some spaces it's not as violent as the carribeans from what i hear..
*aside from South Africa*
Be careful Carribean countries are too corrupt and their currency too weak. Africa will be better for you. West Indians are smart but the English have too much foothold there.
You got the point on time.Hapiness is living the life that you want.Now,I am living the life that I donât want.Because of this reason my happiness is gone.I wish I will be back to my home Africa very soon and really smile there. Thanks
Very well produced and informative video! Thank you for sharing.
Asante sana Dada! great vid and dig your way of thinkingâŠ.coming soon
I love it! Finding your purpose, following your dreams, and showing us Tanzania through your eyes!! Thank you
The message is on point, keep up the good work! More and more is getting inspired to move back home đđż
You go girl ! We're proud of you ! We look forward to more of your videos of Mother Afrika. God bless.
Love this video!! So much inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
Just came across your channel as i'm seriously considering moving to or a least doing some long term travel in Tanzania next year. What you said in this video completely resonates with how i'm feeling at the moment. Can't wait to watch more!
Many blessings to you beautiful Afrikan Queen. Thanks for this most important & necessary video. May we all follow your lead. Cheers!
Asante sana. This was very helpful as I contemplate a move to Tanzania in 2019. There is so much to learn about life across the continent, and the potential for amazing growth is exciting! Keep glowing and growing baba.
Well done Sister, well done am happy for your epiphany. May GOD bless you and give you all that you wish for.
Love love love your hair!!! It looks beautiful and healthy :-) Thanks for sharing your story. Very inspiring!
I'm soooo happy I found your channel! Just moved to Sweden from South Africa five months ago and still trying to fully adjust. Loved your video about the big hair chop and your confidence! I've never had a problem with my natural hair and chopping it off until I came to Sweden. So glad you pursued your dream of living in Africa! All the bestđ
Thanks, you are an inspiration. We really need to start thinking along those lines so that we can try to close the economic gaps that were created and left the developing world behind.
Love your channel and your motive. Africa is definitely on the rise. From Sierra Leone, residing in Texas, USA.
Girl! You speak so much truth. I'm hoping to move to Nigeria for a few months as of October. This video has motivated me so much more to go for it! đđŸ
5:45!!!!! YESSSSSS. I love everything you're saying in this video. Power to you! You are an inspiration
Your words and explanations for moving to tanzania... Oh How it really hit my heart... I wish u happiness and success in your home.đ
Yes TIIIINAAA!!! Im so proud of you honey!!!!! SĂ„ braa video, follow your dreams! Making the world into a better place!!! BĂ€staaa!!!
First time to subscribe, I am supporting all the African content creators, marketing our Africa to the World.
I love your channel and must say all is very interesting,
I'm moving to Tanzania this April and I cant wait for everything
I completely understand everything you are saying Tanzania is calling me thank you for your video you are truly an inspiration and a very intelligent woman I know your parents are very proud of you
Incredible Vlog and mind set your content has literally caught my heart đ„șđ„șâ€ïžâ€ïž
Yes my sister love what you are doing thanks.
you are amazing! keep being you! very impressed
You are very wise to be so young! Congratulations to new life in the Motherland! Great choice!đđđđŸđ·â€
Thank you for this. Africa is calling me. Oh my goodness, I am planning now. I want to go everywhere too....every country that I can visit, I want to be there! I share the same thoughts as you for reasons to go. Thank you again. I will be answering Mama Africa's call so soon. I am so happy for you following your heart. Peace and love.
I agree with you 100% I was born in Tanzania grew up there. Iâve just moved to Sweden for almost 8 years and I feel just the same. I also want to move back to Tanzanania đ
I was in Tanzania when i was kid and it was between 1976 to 1978. It was great and today Dar Es Salaam has become more modern city. I miss Tanzania sometimes.
I'm gracious for to have witnessed your channel.
Came on the video by accident and it was exactly what I am looking for as my wife and I are currently researching Tanzania as a place to relocate. Thanks for the post.
Hey sis! Just wanna say I just looooooove your channel. And you know what? I am in the same situation as you ( grew up in Canada but I moved back to my native Djibouti, East Africa 4 years ago). And so your Tanzanian journey is very relevant and even inspiring to me ( gives me a lot of ideas abt how to organise my future vlogs abt my own Djiboutian journey). And yes Africa is da ishhhh haha. Keep up the excellent work !
I'm from America and I've recently had a vey deep and strong desire to move to a country in Africa. This video is very encouraging. Thank you queen!
Welcome back home.. I came back in 2003. It was hard to adjust in the beginning but I now love it.
As soon as I heard Saida Karoli I subscribed đ so happy you came on my recommendations!
I love what you are doing! So exciting! :)
Pleasure, Keep it up Tina. Karibu Sana
Your video helped me a lot I feel exactly the same and Iâm a similar situation, just scared of taking the risk but you are inspiring. đ„°
So inspirational!!! congrats and best wishes
Beautiful Video... It takes great courage to persue your dreams. Kudos, we can catch up over cofee when in Dar
You really just made a whole video talking and made it awesome!!
U came up with great idea...Tanzania is our home..i miss that land...so touching from your video
Peace and love from Kenya. I was in New York for 9yrs and decided to leave and settle back in Kenya. The factors you mentioned were instrumental in my decision and I'm glad I moved back. The peace of mind aspect can't be over emphasised. It is the one thing I can attribute all my success too outside of God of course.
Still can't get the reason why you guys are happy of coming back to Africa I will trade everything for a chance to live in the states,I feel like many doors will be opened once am in the states,
@@sylviaclaud777 simply put, it is exhausting, harsh weather, you're judge for being you everywhere you go and finally, you will never fit in, always an outsider
You are a role model.. The future of the emergence of Africa! God bless You you make hopeful.
Yep thanks for the love go for ur goals u will win.
I love what I'm hearing. Awesome!!!!
Respect sister! Your experience is inspiring. Hopefully it gives others inside the US the courage to step outside of their westernized box and explore the possibility of returning to their ancestors' land of origins. I am prepping myself for the exploration and possible move to West Africa myself. Honor to you!
Thank you for making this video. After finishing my undergraduate degree I visited Kenya (where my family is from) for two months and made a promise to myself to go back and live/work there for at least a year as soon as I can. For the next two years I am going to work on saving, gaining work experience, and paying down my student loans so that I can position myself to live in Kenya for at least one year and travel throughout the continent as well. I haven't even entered the work force yet and I'm already tired of the rat race - I just feel so distant from all the things people value in American culture and I would be like to be closer to my extended family. Right now I feel so far away from my goal but seeing stories like you reminds me to stay hopeful and motivated!
U are absolutely gorgeous my sista! Also i love this vid...i feel how i felt. I live in Arizona..originally from California. I m so tired of my 9-5 job as well. I am not feeling this way of life anymore. So watching u here is inspiring.
I would trade everything to get what you have,having a job in the states and living there I love Africa but girl life is hard over here
I believe in you. Success will be yours, beautiful heart
I love how you think about empowering the right peopleđ
Thank you for sharing your journey. I would love to visit Africa.
Smart young Lady! PEACE to you always try to be happy!
What a lovely beautiful young lady. I'm glad you're practicing Black economics.
New subbie. I enjoy your channel! Tanzania has been on my radar for soooo long. I really need to plan a visit there soon. I reside in america. Its so awesome that you are sharing your experience so someone like me can get more insight. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video and I will make more about Tanzania
This is so dope! thanks for sharing I feel the same, will be visiting for an extended period of time so I am super excited!
That sounds amazing, will it be Tz your visiting or some other place?
my family is from Ethiopia so thats where I would be visit the first time around BUT TZ is definitely on my list of places to visit! :)
Amazing video Tina thank you, nice to share your expirience when your in your semester.
Hellen Samwel Thank you so much for always watching and commenting đ
Wow, I love this video nakuja home soon basi.
Very nice video ! Thank u so much ! (from Martinique)
This is a topic so close to my heart. My parents are Tanzania too and I moved from Dar when I was nine. But I feel so disconnected from everything there and donât know how to get closer to it. I am not very close to anyone thatâs back there for me to say if I go back and start over, I have someone to show me the ropes and seek advice from. Or maybe thatâs just in my head. I also work in financial services so I feel we have some similarities. I guess thereâs a lot of doubt there. But I admire you for taking that step. Itâs really inspiring. There are so many questions I want to ask. Could you maybe do a video on all the processes you personally went through to make the move ie. research you did, savings, work, accommodation, a time line of events and prep u did that lead you to Dar up to the point u felt settled in. This might be a video series idea.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject of moving back to Africa. I am Kenyan American and have always wanted to move back home to Kenya. It is constantly on my mind. Hearing your rationale especially why visit Europe resonates with me đŻ. Also I want to visit as many African countries as possible. Hearing other Africans in the diaspora return home gives me the courage to try. I enjoyed the background music too Saida Karole lol
Thanks sis for the truth u sharing about Africa. Love from Kenya. Please use that platform for the empowerment of African youth in entrepreneurship and share with the African Diaspora so they can feel that Africa is home and that they are welcome any time. Blessings.
Here from the interview with WOde Maya, new subscriber.
that 's so inspiring for our brother & sisters just come home & enjoy Africa where life is not expensive
Wishing you lots of luck Hope it all works out for you !!!
Mark Stafford Thank you, appreciate it âșïž
Karibu sana Tina
THANK YOU!
Welcome TinaSarafinal. I'm Tanzanian and I've spent all my life here, I really need to travel the world but I'm not yet able to do so. But I just need to travel and come back to my motherland, it's so beautiful here. And there are tons of opportunities here to be taken advantage of.
very inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Oh how good your video, its inspirational dear
Great decision, beautiful ...and Tanzania is beautiful too
Many blessings to you. A beautiful lady in a very beautiful place, physically, spiritually and environmentally đ
New Subscriber here! Iâve watched a few of your videos and decided to subscribe. Love your eloquence and spirit! Looking forward to watching more...Take Care đđđŸ
Love this!
I like your video . Very positive about moving and it inspired me a lot :)
Dual citizenship is very important to retain assets like you, I hope you will be staying for long, for there're millions (literally) of fascinating things here in Tanzania that need dimes like you to be risen to surface, keep up the spirit....slowly Swahili will come (its easier than many think it is)
Ed Mmuni Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Yes for sure dual citizenship would be helpful to bring back whatever weâve gained living outside. Iâm excited to see more of tz and for my Kiswahili to get better đ
Oh my goodness. Tanzania is absolutely beautiful. I must visit soon!
Rainee_ Suprema pls do....
And when u do... check on me for affordable accomodation
You are so beautiful and I love watching your journey!
Salute Beloved Sistah!!!
Stay home sarafina... much love from Kenya.
So good.đđ I will visit your country someday.
Congratulations from Mozambique
Go girl!
So Inspiring , thank you for sharing
