Moving to the USA as a Ugandan | 5 Things I Wish I Knew 

hey guys!💗 hopefully, I'm able to provide a little insight into what you can expect if you plan on moving, and a little guidance as well if needed. you can watch part 2 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NBwpEFQcuAU.html - where i share more things i wish i'd known prior to moving..

I honestly did not have high expectations before I moved from Uganda to the US. I knew life was going to be challenging, and I embraced it as it came. I took one step at a time and kept telling myself, "This is a process." This phase will pass. That is how I have managed to live here, and I do not desire to live in Uganda. If anything, I do not even miss it. I struggled too much in Uganda, and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel was very difficult, maybe because I'm an orphan and I had no relatives to support my goals. I learned to braid my hair and do my own things, so I try to be positive, and this has helped me move through life. I have never cared about the ridiculous questions people here ask about Africa because such people do not even have passports. I call them banyachalo or America, so I'm not bothered.

This is real helpful , I recently moved here from Tanzania. I am still in adjusting phrase unlearning some things and try to learn new things.

First time watching your channel and I love your content, honest and to the point!

I love this video. Keep telling us more about America

Thanks for the insight

Thank youuuu ❤

This was so helpful

Nice insite ,,, good job Martha

Thanks martha

Thanks for the advise sister

Everything you said was on point. My goodness, living in America isn’t easy as people think it is. Rent cost, hair, getting a job and etc. Even though I was born in the USA but raised by African parents, America is not what people think. I honestly love it in Africa. Lol the money factor is hard but I still love it. Having the opportunity to visit Uganda has been good but yes like any African country, it has its challenges. I love the peace here. Thank you for sharing. God bless you 🙏🏿

Thank you

Great information thanks. You have made my day (African parents are hunters 😅) well let's be meanwhile we get there and achieve what we want. Foccus is the key

You are right it’s hard and people back home asking for money they think have money all the time

If a kid asks about your culture, they are genuinely trying to understand and know you. The questions may be silly to you, but they are asking YOU. So already they consider you friendly enough to ask and already you are the expert. They are asking you to be their teacher and further their knowledge. That is a compliment. If an adult asks you a question and they sincerely want to know about life in your country, using dumb remarks two or three things can be true. 1) They can just be mean, which happens. They are not just mean to you, those people are mean to anyone really. 2) Think, to yourself, MAN, the USA has sucky public schools and it isn't this persons fault they don't know the difference. 3) Everything is dependent on the region you are in within the USA. The South is much different than the North, which is much different than the Mid-West states, which is much different than the East Coast. Racism is everywhere. People are both curious and isolationists. Good luck on your endeavors.

To braid normal cornrows how much does it cost

Welcome pretty

I want also to make my dream come true I want US what can I do

Some people in the USA just don't know better! We all got here from somewhere else, but have forgotten that fact!

Well said, I think America is better than Canada in terms of Friendliness and job opportunities. American are way more open and say things from their mind compared to Canadian. I’m saying this because I have worked with American here in Canada and they we the African much better even than the Canadian white.

Hey Martha can we talk?

Where can I talk to u in personal

Hello,how can I talk to you?

Hi Martha, my name is Mary, i am from Kampala Uganda. I have a certificate in nursing. I would like to work in the US, could u please help me dear🙏

How can l talk to you

I know you are from africa so you may not completely understand why diversity is required. Some of those issues with getting a job or even getting into school are the reason. So things like HBCU were invented. Be very cautious making these types of statments because there is a history behind it. Also yes the pricing of hairstylist is ridiculous and genuineness can have some cultural issues behind it this would be a great conversation to have with americans from all demographics for clearity. PLEASE PLEASE do your research because you said a lot of good but some your words can be used as weapons to hold people that look like you back. People will remove your other point and just point at the one.

Hey am Daniel, I have a question, I did dv lottery 2024 but I have no one in the US so how can I get a host after going through

If a white person from the US or Europe moved to Uganda and applied for a job, they wouldn't experience a similar degree of discrimination? Just wondering.

That sugar in everything is my worst experience.

😂😂 Are your parents hunters? That was funny to be honest

This is the first time to watch do have any other social media handle like Facebook, Instagram
