She came with an open heart and mind. She embraced African with everything. Love her.
I think that's something everyone can learn from.
I always get emotional when l see my brothers an sister from the diaspora well settled in Africa
Yes, it’s commendable.
I have watched many people give advice to African Americans who want to come to Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, etc, and this lovely, beautiful, sound and truly decent woman just gave some of the best advice. I'm a Ghanaian and I'm proud of this woman.
Thank you
@@vanessamixson2585 Please, where can we find you sharing more info? I enjoyed your honest perspective.
I'm 40, single, with no children and I'd like to start a family on the continent, but I do understand I have so much to learn about the cultures.
I love this! She said it all at the end.
But come home, you have a place in Ghana and Africa because your ancestors are from this continent. We see you as a brothers and Sisters. Africa and Africans Love you.
Absolutely!

We ××wswa
She even has a Ghanaian English accent at times! Love you, Sis💓💓💓
That is truly an African woman!!! A daughter of the soil!!! Beautiful, glistening black African beauty!!! Thank you for sharing!
Totally love her advice to African Americans. Black folks can't take "rude and entitled American" attitudes with them to the continent. Be humble because you will be the "foreigners" in someone else's country.
True!
I love it
As an African American
She now has a Ghanaian accent 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Yeeeessss😍😍😍😍😍
😂 She’s more or less a full blown Ghanaian now.
I am a Ghanaian man married to a Nigerian woman. I love Nigerians. Great interview.
Oh thank you.
She's fully African, Culturally and all,
love her spirit.
I would love to know more about her and hear more of her wisdom concerning African Americans wanting to come to the continent and buy land and build a home.
Yes, we’d see what we can do.
I really enjoyed the interview. I love her message of being in the right attitude,and her perspective/advice on coming to Ghana. I am coming in July 2022 with my son. But I am contemplating seriously on moving there at some point. Thank you so much for the valuable advice of coming for a few months first to visit. I will subscribe to your vlog. Well done. I am a retired teacher and love when I hear different perspectives of people coming to Ghana who are older and desire to relocate. I am coming for the experience, the beauty of the country & the people,but most of all the Peace ☮️ I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (U.S) very dangerous city here, and I just want a peaceful place. Thank you, and continue to teach🙏🏾🤎🥰
Wow!
Thank you so much for joining the family.
And yes, I am for the opinion that you visit for sometime first before moving finally.
You sure will enjoy here and I’m glad this video helped.
Truly African. I guess the African ancestors are happy that you are home.
She has so much information to share.
I like the fact that she didn't paint an unrealistic glossy picture of life in Ghana.
I like that too, being very realistic.
I love cultural immersion. One's accent naturally wears them 😊.
She's Lovely and funny and she's said she is from Milwaukee I said wow traveling from Chicago to Milwaukee all the time she has the spirit of the Midwest 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 survival skills it takes a lot She's great
How do we know if someone have the sprint of Midwest USA ? I asked because I have driven through the 48 states which include Milwaukee yet l don’t know how to identify the sprint of people by the area they reside. By the way I reside in Chicago Illinois.
This is a very brave woman and very talented. She looks like a Guinean
Oh! Are you Guinean too?
Bless you Mama Africa ., You A real African woman .Bless you Ma'am.
Love her story. At this point, she’s Ghanaian!! She’s lived in Ghana nearly 30 years. She’s home.
She sure is home!
I really appreciate the last part she had to offer about American blacks coming to the continent and all that needs to be considered before moving.
I'd really like to start building a network/community of people before landing
You hit the nail on the head . I live in The US and I was glad when you warned those with bad attitude . It is my right does not work in Ghana .
🤣🤣. Painful truths.
She is so right
This woman can talk. Good points for those planning to relocate.
lol. A couple of months turned into 29 years... Great interview.
Yes o, perfect description of her story.
Thank you boss 🙃
This sister is simply phenomenal! Love her so much! May God continue to bless her and strengthen her!
Amenn!!
I met her while I was in Ghana for 5 months. She's an amazing woman with a beautiful soul!
Who is this? Where did we meet?
Oh lovely!
@@vanessamixson2585 🙂 I'm not putting my name on CZcams, but I was the PhD student looking for volunteers for my research. I went to Ada with you all and came to a few meetings.
@@vanessamixson2585 How can I connect with you Ma? I'm American as well.
Omg I loooooove her heart to heart at the end. She stands correct. Thanks for the organization meeting advice as well. I’d love to meet her someday. I’m still in the states now but someday me and my skills as well as beautiful attitude will venture to the motherland someday because spirit tells me it is time 🖤
LOVE, LOVE THIS! THANK YOU FOR JOB WELL DONE.

SHE'S SO LOVELY & I ❤ HER STRONG SPIRIT 👌
SHE IS RIGHT ABOUT SOME AFRICAN AMERICAN'S COMING WITH SOME BAD ATTITUDES WHICH MAKES IT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE REST.....LEAVE YOUR RIGHTS IN ABROAD, COME WITH THE FLOW THEN 💯% ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WILL FOLLOWS YOU DAILY... AND ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
BE TRUTHFUL
RESPECTFUL
RESPONSIBLE
DREAMER & HARD WORK.
THEN ALL THINGS WILL BE FINE & FUN FOR YOU..👌
Spot on!
She's right about the JOLLOF... the best Jollof to go for is definitely a typical home cooked Jollof from the Muslims (popularly referred to as hausas of Ghana).
This woman is dope hmmm pls is the last part for me ? I’m in tears 😭
😂😂😂
@@TheJumzTV lolxxx
😂😂😂, why?
@@TheJumzTV I didn’t hear from u oo
Beautiful Jumz Lolxx
She is so lovely
I am a Nigerian living in Milwaukee Wisconsin. It still snows even with the fact that we are now in Spring. It is cold
Ohhh that’s interesting.
Exactly!
Very educative and interesting video Lolxx
I’m glad 😊
Thank you for you honesty. When we locate to Africa you only hear, it's affordable but what is affordable their vs. America
My concerns are that when certain African countries knows the price of Americans over priced rentals or buying, the price is increases and what you are trying to get away from you're running into the same issues.
I need to move to Africa but where? I doing my research. I love Nigeria in all it's government wrong doing but the people are caring, intelligent and humble. I'm over America!
@patricia Try Kenya 🙏🏾😊
Her story is indeed intriguing. Hearing an American woman talks about firewood Jollof rice she has indeed embrace the African culture. Well done Sis for telling people the way it is in Africa/Ghana. God bless you.
Yes, she really learned and now knows her Onions. More so, she didn't sugarcoat the truth.
I really want to come to Africa but I’m one of those people who doesn’t want to travel alone. I’m retired and everyone I know I would travel with still works. Hopefully I’ll make it there one day. Your guest gave very good information and I’m glad she was truthful.
Welcome to Kenya
"You Can't Be Happy Because You Don't Have It In You Already!"*Vanessa Mixon-Alawiye*
You thoroughly watched and listened. Nice
Nice information.. African American have high expectations,one step at the time. Try to be positive and happy. Africa is a nice place to live. It's up to you, it won't be rosy perhaps the first month or year,but baby step, learn about the culture please and give yourself a chance. Any country around the world has is pro and con ❤
Best You-Tube commentary. Miss Vanessa told the truth. Especially about black americans with bad attitudes moving to the mother land. 💜🙋🏾♀️💜
How are we "black americans?" What shows up in our DNA is who we are. Our ancestors were stolen fm the continent of Africa. Being born in a place makes one a citizen. We are america citizens (not by chose), with Africa blood lineage.
I understand bad attitude should not be tolerated, but bad attitude is across the world. This is where division and discord shows up. This should not be...we have every right to be in Africa. Kannaland (Canaan Land) was given to the children of Jacob. Are we not the Southern tribes scattered to the 4 corners of the earth? This is the 400 years as prophesied by TMH to do HIS awesome work to gather his ppl and bring them back to their land. Africa is your home as well as our home. Bible prophecy must be fulfilled.
Peace & Blessings Family. Let love lead 💞
@@yahphirah182 perfect!!!! I love your stand. It's your birth right. There is more than enough space for all of us. We would have differences but so do siblings. When it's Yah's will, He makes everything good in it's season. The love we share will melt away our petty differences. Love is in our DNA and Yah will make sure it prevails above out differences. I am so happy and thankful to be alive at this time.
Side note: it's my first time listening to this kinds of conversations. I am born Cameroonian living in the USA
@@constanceenow2540 Hi family, I live your attitude as well. TMH will ensure we get along as prophecied in Ezekiel 37 making 2 sticks now to become one.💞
@@yahphirah182 Amen
Nice one
I would love to know more about her food business!
Akwaaba to
Ghana
Enjoy the time
Ei Jumz Jumz. That's my friend's mum ooo. Im in her house riiiight now, cooking kontomire stew 😁
Awwwnnn, really?
That’s so nice.
Real Jollof Rice, you blend red tomatoes 🍅 bell pepper 🫑 🌶 onion 🌰 garlic together to cook the Jollof Rice. Meat is cooked separately.
Just Bell peppers? How about some Habanero and Scotch Bonnet?
Some of our Ewe relatives 🙄 Epic 😍
Hello Vanessa dear ! ❤️❤️❤️👍😍🥰😘 Shout out to Alhaja Mero and my Alawiye cousins..How is brother Samson?
She is on point housa ghana housa jollof rice is a bomb
I was born in Milwaukee too and plan to move to Ghana in the next five years.
Oh nice! I hope you’ve been able to jot down a few points?
Great but pls plan your move. It can be overwhelming sometimes
@@dedeiridley179 you are correct.
I love her nose and eyes ..Same as my mom ...Awesome interview
Awwwwwnnnn...
@@TheJumzTV nice energy....
nonfa
hard truth
I love her
I love everything about this, I pray the same for myself no green card business.
😂 you think all Africans are for green card
@@immaculate2197 Most are that's not a secret most want to escape poverty and their current situations furthermore I don't care for your comment I also said something nice but as the same time I'm not a idiot I'm not going to let someone use me.
We are all africans my sister
Definitely.
❤️❤️❤️
You were surprised about her last name which is Yoruba lol. I’m in my 30s and I have few Yoruba friends whose parents were also born in Ghana. Accra New Town back then” Lagos Town” used to have a lot of Yoruba people including Cow Lane, Zongo Lane in Accra central. She looks more Malian
I was surprised o and I’ve heard of this Lagos town before, is it still in existence?
@@TheJumzTV yeah it’s now called Accra New Town. The son of the late chief of Yoruba in Accra is my closest friend, lives in UK now.
Her Alawiye is a yoruba name. There Is Alawiye Book that we use in Yoruba class when I was in Nigeria.
The name never changed from Lagos Town to Accra New Town. The two names were used interchangeably but nowadays it has become more Accra New Town. I grew up in in Accra New Town. The Yorubas there tend to speak Ga a lot because majority of them are married or are half Ga half Yoruba. That is the same with places like Zongo lane and Cowlane in Accra Central
@@cocobutterchin6768 Yes, it does sound familiar.
One carbon race one spirituality one enemies united
Ghanaian Hawusa jollof rice has no competition in Africa.
Most Americans are brutally honest; she just confirm Naija jelove is the best!!
No, she said Ghanaian Hausa jollof is the best.
How Naija Jollof com be de best?
This woman's taste buds must have been confused by all these different Ghanaian food!!!
🥰🥰
Weldone to make okro. Stew ei you can apreprensa mo mo mo
Her accent has changed, or she’s was brought up in middle class back in the US. It is rare to hear someone talk like this in the US.
Not sure what you mean? However, my accent is likely to be a blend of a Midwest and Ghanaian. Living in the two places for most my life has it imprints. My accent being one of the. We must be true to self it depends on what is going on around you, the topic of discussion and to whom you are speaking with the accent just dives deeper to that which it is familiar with. Especially, when you are speaking passionately about something then people you know very well will either say, their she goes speaking like a foreigner and that goes both ways. I don't really listen to myself (what I sound like) unless it is something like this, which I don't do often. Not sure I was brought up middle class or any class for that matter. Just a happy childhood with normal challenges.
@@vanessamixson2585 grammar is not a thing here In the state. There’s a little Ghanaian blend . Grew up in Ghana and I know the difference.
I know she said that she was born in the US, but the food that she cooks (cabbage dish) is not an American Black dish. Certain pronunciations of hers is very Caribbean English. She avoided to answer where her parents were from even though the interviewer specifically asked her where they were from. Why?
Does the lady have her own blog the American woman
😂 I don’t know about that.
To buy a house in Africa is the best than to rent
I tell you.
I'm from Nigeria and I love this Sister cos she is so straight to the core 😁
Don't come running to Africa if you can't face the Cockroach on the all😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I don't know why Black Americans wants to go to Africa, what is wrong with them?
I wish she would have let her talk about her food business! Every time the person starts talking about what I want to know about they always get redirected and the interview becomes boring!
Aunty Vanessa, I am prod of you
Invite more!
( don’t tell them about the cannibalism )
Please, I don’t understand what this means.
This beautiful woman practically did most of the questions and answers herself. As a presenter, I expected you to be more than well prepared.
Poor woman, she was rearing to go for more questions and answers!
Oh Eddie. Patience my dear. A lot more to come.
I can bet you she is with just a Ghanaian. Nothing like Ghanaian/ Nigerian. They always rope in Nigeria in any situation abroad with an African. Abroad most Africans tell people they are Nigerians. If anything goes bad, they will say Nigerians are bad
You really sound like a Ga women
Me? Interesting.
Or could it be the Yoruba connection?
Jummy, Alawiye is not a Nigerian but Yoruba. I am happy that the woman corrected you though. You may not know, Ghanian and Yoruba have a long history of relationship before Nigeria was created by the British. Big Ada, Ada, Dome, etc are all mixed of Yoruba people and culture. I expect you to reflect on this relationship.
@Sam Kwak BEHAVE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON
Jumz , you have an unfinished business with this amazing woman. Follow up very soon and you must also take your DNA to see which region and ethic group you belong instead of calling your self Omo Naija (Ewe, Ga, Twi, Fanti etc) Am very sure you are half Fanti and half Ewe. Tell your guest Kenosha WI in the house
I'm sure that if Ghana security mistaken arrest her for a crime, you will be the first to disown her. You will be very quick to trumpet that she is a Nigerian but because she looks very calm, decent and intelligent, and does not fit into the stereotype most Ghanaians have for Nigerians, she is too good to be a Nigerian, yet with all the holier than thou attitudes of Ghanaians, there are criminals among your police who are killing their own colleagues to rob billion vans. SHE IS A NIGERIAN. SHE DOESN'T NEED YOUR ADVICE TO DO A DNA TEST TO CONFIRM SHE HAS GHANAIAN ANCESTRY.
@fred qwakwu Nice, but I think you should also check the DNA because you may as well be an Omo Naija, maybe half Igbo and half Benin.
@@TheJumzTV
Jumz TV why are you always hiding from your Ghanaian identity? What shows that you are Naija besides speaking pigin and Yuroba and Igbo. Maybe your knowledge about Leke Beach, Idumata and Palm Grove makes you believe you are Naija
@@amosadewuni460 can't you write comments without acting goofy😒
@@amosadewuni460 if Ghana mistakenly arrest her so much nonsense, .i will spare you the insults you deserve.if Ghanaians commit crimes we will deal with them.the police officers who committed the crimes have been arrested by the same Ghana police and they will be dealt with.
We will also deal with any foreigner who commits crimes in Ghana.how can you leave you country to commit crime another country.
There's nothing like Nigerian-Ghanaian. It never exists. All you may have are Nigerians living in Ghana and that's all.
Pls know history about migrations of African people. Where different tribes come from specially the fishermen . Bless
