Thank you. It was my great pleasure to assist our brother Wodemaya for the short time he was here. Bless up.

What the man said around the slave monument really got to me….We can’t fail our ancestors, they put up a good fight..We must grow out our mentality and conditioning and take our destiny into our own hands

@wodemaya next time you come to the USA you have to have a Black American who is from NYC, who knows the 400 year history of Black Americans in NYC, and they will take you to Weeksville Heritage Center, which is a museum in Brooklyn. Weeksville, was one of America's first free black communities during the 19th century. They would have also told you the first commodity sold on Wall Street was enslaved Africans(our ancestors) and they would have told you about the Black community called Seneca Village which was a 19th-century settlement of mostly African American landowners in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, within what would become present-day Central Park.They took their land and built central park over it. They also would have taken you to the Malcom X Center, etc... I know you were not there for long, and of course everyone wants to show you around lol, but respectfully the 400 year history is something the African migrants here in this video don't know about, so they could not tell you, and that's understandable, they were giving you their version of NYC and there is a place for that as well. But definitely next time you come back you have to get with one of your Black American viewers that are a native New Yorker for generations who knows the Black history of NYC to really tell you the full range of information on our people in the New York City.

Exactly in any part of the states he has to connect with the African Americans that know the history. There were Seneca village, Tulsa, Rosewood and hundreds of black towns all over to get the true history. Wada talk to the Africans that were enslaved for over 400 years go to the museums and see all the the inventions and things that made America what it is today. 😊

He was only in town for two days people , he had to first connect with people on the grand that he knew . And besides the elder Ghanain brotha did a damn good job with his history of New York. He went out of his way to acknowledge African American relevance to the city .

I'm an African American and I have never had the opportunity to leave the country. Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like my soul is healed. I grew up around friends who are from different countries or whose parents are from different countries. They know so much about the culture of their ancestors. Slavery barred me from having this same relationship. When I watch your videos it does something special. Keep it up bro!

The cost of advertising in Times Square can range from $5,000 to over $50,000 per day, depending on the type of ad, its length, and the number of props needed. For example, a small digital billboard (8 ft by 12 ft) can cost as little as $4,500 per month. A 15-second ad on one of Times Square's big screens can cost $500 for 20 plays, or $150 for a photo to run for 15 seconds per hour for 24 hours. A 15-second clip on an 18,000-square foot LED display costs about $40.

For those of you in Africa, take note of the stress and sadness in the faces of the Africans in NY. Life is HARD there! To work outside in the cold and it wasn’t too cold in the video! What the man in the beginning said is TRUTH!

Not everyone, some of us with great careers in tech enjoy life in the US and back home.

@@tomaramash9949 if you get there very young and your parents went through the fire, then you have had an advantage. If you are in your 20s or older coming to the states on your own, then it’s harder! I’ve known many Africans who come to the states and have been homeless and struggling for a while! No one dares let people back home know about the struggles! Some people are built for it others are not. You have to let people know! So you mean to tell me you’ve gained all you have with little to no struggle? Yes some people are living well but more than that are struggling!

Great video! Glad you made it to America. I was hoping you would delve more into the Black history of America. You should come back and explore different regions of the U.S., perhaps try some black american food, live music and more. There is not only Hip Hop that we created. Washington D.C., New Orleans have their own native Genre of music, amongst the many other genres of Black American culture. Black history is RICH in the U.S. of America and to really appreciate Black American culture you have to explore our history. Your visit to New York only captured a minute portion of it. Even could have been explored much more (although you were time constraints). Hopefully you will return and follow suggestions from some of your American viewers of where to visit. My suggestions, Washington, DC, New Orleans, Lousiana, Southeastern Coast (Home of Gullah Geechee people). Memphis, TN, Houston, TX, Detroit, MI...many more.
