Africa - “You’re not gonna make it”

Someone told me I'm not gonna make it in Africa because there aren't any social programs in place. Very big lol. I mentioned that I think a lot of the problem with America is that we have so many social programs in place. Being poor isn't easy anywhere in the world. It's also a bold assumption that I am in need of social programs. But you know, all Black Women are poor? This person, in the same conversation, went on and on about how beautiful the weather is, how amazing the people, childcare, culture, and the food are.....I'm like ???? Do you not hear yourself ? But, these are the avenues I value. I guess it's easy to disregard those things if your primary focus is money.

Incredible

My first full week in Africa has been more liberating than my last year, at minimum, spent in America. I spent my Sunday morning doing dishes, laundry, and some work for BB.

The first meal he prepares for us will be pilau and salad. It will spend the rest of my Sunday relaxing and eating goodt. All praises to The Most High!
