Lexi's 1st Time in Africa | American Stereotypes | We All Need to do Better 

Why do Americans have a negative connotation to huts? Huts are architecture/engineering that work the best with the environment and weather. We teach that igloos are so cool but they are literally the same as a hut but for that environment. American houses are ruined every year by the weather due to their poor quality.

I'm so proud for y'all. Keep your love flowing.

Rwanda is also stunning and super safe you need to visit!

I have always thought about how African Americans are perceived/received in different countries in Africa also. It was so refreshing to hear that people are receptive to us. Always enjoy your podcasts however long/short they are ❤❤❤

I would love to visit Africa.

I’m Nigerian (parents immigrated to the US, I was born and raised in the US), and I appreciate the perspective you guys have. I have a few thoughts to share, if you don’t mind: The dynamic nature of Africa as a continent goes even further: each African country is INCREDIBLY dynamic. Nigeria alone has dozens and dozens of languages and dialects, the foods vary in style and preparation depending on the region and ethnic group you’re from, etc. I’m a bit surprised you guys don’t hear about Nigeria as much considering how many of us are here and in the UK lol. Side note: I don’t think South Africa is viewed the same way as northern African countries (I think some of the northern countries identify more with the Middle East, whereas sub-Saharan Africa tends to get grouped together, and the countries’ histories also affect that) Another African stereotype (and I appreciate the comment Brian made about seeing the animals not being the regular thing) is that Africans wake up with lions and giraffes and stuff. When my older sister was little, she was asked if she rode a lion to school when she was in Nigeria 😑. Fortunately, I think people are becoming more aware of the reality (for example, zoos exist in Africa, and there are some very, VERY wealthy people in several African nations, Nigeria included) THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING AND DISCUSSING MULTIPLE GLOBAL CRISES, NOT JUST THE “POPULAR” ONES! Okay, these are my thoughts. Love you guys and thank you for being willing to share your experiences ❤

Beautiful lovely couple. I love watching your video

Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi… beautiful, breathtaking taking.. the food.. the cultures.. gees everyone should visit…

I’m from Great Ethiopia, I want to welcome you both the origin of humanity. Especially Lixe welcome home.

Thank y'all for sharing! This is so lovely...wow, yes, waking up with a giraffe next to your window is beautiful! It can be a different perspective of once in a lifetime on multiple occasions. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Paul Barbato, Geography NOW shares so many wonderful, insightful things about all the different countries in the continent of Africa and other continents. Ha, yes to the peace corps conversation 🤭 y'all are funny.

I lived in Morocco for a year, some of the most amazing people. It’s true about Morocco, they see themselves more middle eastern.

Lovely couple and you all working for your marriage and children. Love this!!!!💕

It's good to hear about your experience in Tanzania and how you want to contribute to helping those in need however you can't solve all the problems in the world just pick one that God has led you to do and help. Watching from Uganda.

As a Kenya who has lived in the US, I am excited to watch this session. Do you have vlogs from your visit? It would be interesting to see.

Here watching from Uganda 😊, lol

Love my Kenya

When people say Africa can you please be specific because Africa is a continent with 54 countries and not all of the countries are in turmoil as some of the western media will have to believe yes there are hardships but also positive things happening and we all not a basket cases.

Thank you for sharing. Does Compassion work in Madagascar? The youth are under attack because people are coming from other countries, capturing children, abusing and trafficking them. A friend of mine was trying to get a building built for them to have a safe place. Just inquiring because my friend was there, and he witnessed with his own eye an asian male with one of the young girls. He was their for ministry purposes but the leaders communicated to him everything i've shared above. It hurts my heart that children would have to go through being stolen away from their home and abused.

Why do Americans not think about Africa has land of their ancestors. I am Jamaican born woman and I give respect and knowledge that's my ancestral blood line/ DNA is mother Africa. Put it this way I wouldn't waste my money for Disney land, but booking my flight to Africa . Nothing like been surrounded by my Nubian people. One ❤️.

Please visit South Africa 🇿🇦 we also have the African continent struggles

There's certain state's in USA, that don't have clean running water and are surrounded by mass polution from industrial factories funded by big city operations which the government has a hand in.

Sounds like an insightful experience. Was this a mission trip? Tfs

Enjoyed the video ❤

I very much want to visit Nigeria.

💙💜

I live in South Africa and we are more modern in culture to put in simple words compared to the other African continents.

Question: Why Tanzania east Africa instead of West Africa, Angola and Congo, from where the ancestors were taken from ?

A lot of Americans too don't even earn a dollar and looking for welfare and are homeless, these people are close, if Africa is far.

"I have travelled across the length and breadth of Africa and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Africans think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their selfesteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation". Lord Macaulay's Address to the British Parliament on 2nd Feb 1835

Myself, I would love to visit West Africa, our true Motherland. But what's very unfortunate about the whole of Africa is the staggering homophobia because of both Christianity and Islam, but especially Christianity because many white missionaries have gone to Africa and spread that BS, taken over where the colonizers left off.
