    I love hearing your POV of your experience! Could you see yourself settling down long term in Charlotte if you found a solid friendship group and/or partner to raise a family?

    I currently live in Charlotte and I like it ,but I’ve been considering Houston because the teacher pay is higher and I’m 23 and single and thought it would be a fun city! I’m curious but scared to go that far all alone and not like it. I’m also pretty comfortable and starting to make friends. Do you think you’ll stay in Charlotte long term? Or move to houston with your sister ?

      Hey India! Houston isn’t for me but I get why you would choose it over Charlotte. More to do and bigger.

    Yes, you have to grow up in the South to be apart of their community. It is very clickish and based on social class.

    Are there educated Black men there? I am asking this question because I noticed that NC does not have enough black men that are educated with no children like the cities of Denver and Seattle.

    • @EJIMANnenaNgozi
      @EJIMANnenaNgozi  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Great question. I’m sure they are here! Just depends on where you go. Overall I’ve noticed that education isn’t pushed as much down here overall.

    I sense frustration… try going to the Jamaican joint restaurant are a Jamaican joint. If it doesn’t work out you’ll definitely get some children and a family legacy. At least you’ll have a guy that can cook and clean and going to work.
