You voice is money 💰. Beautiful professional voice

My wife is Tanzanian and I've been home to TZ twice since meeting her. Seeing that chipsi and mishkaki makes my mouth water!

I fell in love with Tanzania when I was only 13 years old. I became an African fanatic since I was just a teenager. I majored in East African Area studies at Ohio State University. I spent two glorious years in Njombe at a girls secondary school in a village called Kidugala. Is about 30 kilometers away from Njombe. I would love to know if you can get me any information on Kidugala: is there still a school there? I LOVE Arusha and Moshi. I hiked up Kilimanjaro from Moshi : 3 days up, and 2 days down! Since your handsome husband is Mchaga, ask him if he knows the family of Bwana Mshomi. As you can tell, I am in love with Tanzania. I consider myself Africa's greatest ambassador, and I hope to return soon. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You take me home. I was defensive at first because I thought you were going to say something negative about African Americans not returning to the continent, but I see you are a true SISTER, so I will let you stay in my country. The wedding was fabulous. I adored your grandma and mother. Your baby girl is beautiful; so are you, and your husband is FINE!! Keep in touch. I may need your assistance on my return trip. By the way, Jackie Robinson's son, David is married to a Tanzanian and they have a coffee plantation near Mbeya. Mungu akubariki, Dada!

Wow! Dada Henrietta Bibbs - you would make a fine ambassador, I believe. That's quite a resume! I personally am working to repatriate and settle in Tanzania. My fiancee is a Maasai schoolteacher. A few years ago, on my first trip to TZ, I reached out to David Robinson and emailed him a request to sit and chat a bit. He graciously agreed, but said he was busy with the coffee harvest and I would probably have to visit him in Mbeya. So my fiancee and I rode 12 hrs on Scandinavia Bus, down to Mbeya from Dar. I'll never forget, we actually had a traffic jam - East Afrikan style --- A small group of about 7 or 8 elephants were crossing the road!! All traffic just had to stop while they crossed. We loved it. David Robinson is a humble, hard working Brother well aware of his legacy. You'll really understand the values and education he gained from the Robinson family. We chatted for 4 hours over beer and kuku na chipsi at a local hotel. He invited us to go and see the coffee farm, but it would take 3 days to go, and another 3 days to return. I didn't have the time, unfortunately. But, he invited us to go and see the nearby coffee processing plant the next morning. And we loved it! All Afrikan people - a few were in lab coats, some were sorting the coffee beans, or bagging and packing them into burlap bags, and some loading trucks. David Robinson is a great guy. He is the model of repatriate I aspire to. - I don't know if you've seen it, but Spike Lee made a short documentary on David Robinson and family. Its on KZread, called "Spike Lee's Lil' Joints Of the Father and of the Son". Really good stuff. Its amazing how one of David's sons look just like Jackie Robinson. You gotta check it out.

I was a youngster in a Cleveland, Ohio ghetto and was immediately transported mentally and spiritually to Tanzania. I became obsessed from that point on about our African motherland and our BLACK history: ancient and modern! I am in love with the whole African continent. I visited other countries as well. I have seen Spike's video on David. If you could text me his contact info I would be grateful. There is a young Tanzanian brother in Dar who follows me on facebook that wants to meet David. Plus, I want to correspond with him. I use to see the coffee from his co-op at Whole Foods and other big chain grocery stores, but I have not seen any lately. I want to keep pushing his product in the United States. I would LOVE to keep in contact with you. My email is: 74msichana@gmail.com SANKOFA🙏❤❤

Black Berry Beauty Academy thank you so much! I’m here to show the positive images. I know I’m in a unique position as an African American here in Tanzania, so I feel that it’s my duty to do so.

I literally just subscribed to your channel 3 hours ago, it is exactly the type of channel I was looking for. my goal is to arrive in Tanzania in June, it will be me and my 20 year old daughter's 1st visit to the Motherland, Botswana will be our 2nd destination. When you were in the woods and pointed the camera skyward with the wind blowing in the trees it stopped me in place, for that brief moment, I felt like you could here our ancestors calling us, welcoming you...it was amazing. I grew up in the deep Southern US, my little brother, cousin and I used to go into the woods ( we called ourselves explorers) around the pine and oak trees, when the wind would blow we would just lay on top of the pine needles and talk about our dreams...this video simply confirms that we people of African decent are special, uniquely in tune with the land, animals, and all of nature, thank you for sharing.

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing and I enjoyed seeing this part of daily life. Watching those men do that back breaking work with such unity and enthusiasm was uplifting. 😊💪🏾👊🏿

OMG-- Sis, I long wanted to find SOMEONE in Africa running their OWN Timberland Business that I could learn from!! 😍😍 I was told Nigeria doesn't have any Timberland, just Farmland to buy! But I've ALWAYS wanted to learn from My Own People, General Farming but mainly, how African Forestry is grown, maintained, insured, and most of all-- financially prosperous. THIS--is what I strongly desire to learn....Being a Black Sista in Amerikkka NEVER scared me from wanting to learn about this beautiful Profession (and many others over the years). But the decades of surviving adjunct Racism & Discrimination here in Amerikkka have become overwhelmingly INFURIATING to the degree that I'm literally DONE with living here, and like many others I am looking to "make that move" to the Motherland to rid myself of that toxic White Supremacy. I've been following your channel a few weeks now and would LOVE to meet with you, as others have HAPPILY done already! 💓 Will contact you to discuss this further! Peace!✌

Great video! I laughed when i saw the translated version of the food types, for example makande, we would normally say mahindi na maharage which trranslates into maize and beans but it seems you guys use corn more. Pilau in Swahili is also known as wali mchafu because of all the spices being used which makes the rice darker that's why people jokingly name it 'dirty' rice but that sounds too funny for a person who don't know the story behind, lol...maybe spiced rice. bless up

Is your father-in-law selective in what trees are cut? What is the result of deforestation to the ground and animals that may live in those trees? Nature is Beautiful, the trees give up oxygen for us humans. Hopefully through planned diversity; trees will remain with us as long as we humans are on the Planet.
