GeekAlan Mont lol this is the norm for every bilingual family I know. Whenever I’m with my parents we’re switching forth and back between Estonian and Russian all the time. 😀
@@lagritsalammas same, me and my sister mix english and portuguese (our native language) and sometimes spanish (our parents native language). It's wild, they get mad when we switch to english cause they can't understand a thing :D
@@lagritsalammas yeah me and my family switch between turkish and bulgarian when im at home like that's the way i grew up and both languages are my native languages
O pessoal aq ta surtando pq a mãe dela so “falou mal” do Brasil. Gente, entendam: elas moravam no Rio de Janeiro, capital. Uma das cidades com maiores níveis de homicídios no MUNDO. A Jô, em uma viagem ao Rio, levou um TIRO. Vc q mora em interior com 10k de pessoas não vivem nessa realidade, mas podem entender que vivem em um país complexo e que tem muitos pontos complicados de violência e eram em um desses pontos que elas viviam. Outra, não é pq vc nunca sofreu uma violência, não significa que ela não aconteça e com frequência. O que a mãe dela falou não mentiu nem um pouco. Vc sai do Brasil e sente o baque, de poder viver sem a paranoia de ser assaltada na rua, ou levar um tiro.
Muito obrigada, p/ me defender e mais ainda p/ entender e respeitar minha decisao. Nao tem nada pior do q a gente viver em uma cidade, 1 estado, 1 pais, onde a gente nao tem dignidade de sonhar, de lutar p/ ter e ser e chegar alguem e te tirar a vida em 1 minuto. A gente nao foge do destino, vim p/ ca p/ proteger meus filhos, e Joanna resolveu voltar e foi baleada dentro do carro no Maracana. No Rio nao tem lugar seguro e e dessa realised q eu vivi q eu falo, e q nao me orgulho. Tanto fazer sentido nas minhas decides, se eu gostasse tanto do Brasil e tivesse esperanca de q o pais fosse melhorar 1dia, ainda estaria ai. Fingindo q a nossa realidade nao e Tao triste como comentam fora do pais.
Ela foi realista, falou de fatos. Não quer dizer que o Rio ou o Brasil não tenha coisas boas. Ela fez o que ela sentiu que seria melhor pros filhos e pra ela. A vida é feita de decisões, e se a gente não se sente bem com uma situação, ao invés de ficar se queixando como é comum, ela foi lá e decidiu. Não vi nada demais nisso, a vida pra mudar, precisa de ação e ela fez e não esperou por ninguém.
Jessica Rodrigues eu tinha medo de transar com um cara de pau grande mas deu tudo certo. Fiquei sem puder levantar da cama por duas semanas de dores mas consegui ser fudida por um cara de pau grande.
This is literally my family's story as well only we moved from Colombia to LA🇨🇴🇺🇸 Shoutout to all the mamacitas who sacrifice their everything for their kids!!!💗😘
@@paulacon28 Wait, why did you say her(illigal immigration) story is the same as your families story, if your came here legally and she didn't. Either your family came here legally, in which case you are american, or they came illigally in which case gtfo
Sending your mum and all the other incredible parents who made sacrifices like her so much love, I don't think I will ever understand the magnitude of my parents choices
Celine sabe qual é meu maior sonho? Ser normal igual a você. Tenho esquizofrenia e não vou poder viver nunca. Tenho pensamentos suicidas e tudo mais. Essa frase é para aqueles que acham que a vida deles é ruim: vão tomar no cu.
This was very uplifting to watch. My mom came to the USA from Germany with my dad (who is from the USA and was stationed in Germany through the military at the time). Over 20 years later and even though they aren’t together anymore, she’s made a life for herself here and I can only imagine how hard it was for her to come to a new country and not understanding the language, among other issues she had. She has told me many stories about how much she was judged and looked at funny because she couldn’t even speak English. Now she can speak English, her first language (German), and she’s currently learning Spanish! Anyways, I’m so proud of her, and I’m happy you shared your story!
@@IndieJenny okay, she wrote 20 years ago. That was the late nineties. East Germany wasn't doing well at all back then, the west was doing alright, but the US was doing just as fine or even better. Maybe her mother just wanted to have an adventure and try something new. It doesn't always have to be economic reasons why people migrate.
Yes there are so many faces of immigration! People don’t understand how hard it is dropping everything you know to start over completely again. All stories of immigration are beautiful.
Me too. I’m from Rio, currently living in Florianopolis and I’ve lived in the US for 2 years... but now I don’t plan to go back. I rather stay here and make the difference here...
Depende muito do local que você mora no Rio. Pelo que sei a Jo cresceu no subúrbio e lá a violência é bem maior do que na Zona Sul, por exemplo. Sou do Rio, mas estou fazendo o que posso para sair daqui...
Felipe Silva eu moro exatamente no bairro que ela saiu (Vila da Penha), no subúrbio. Não troco aqui por NENHUM bairro do Rio. Me sinto super seguro e bem servido por todos os serviços. O subúrbio do rio é muito cheio de preconceitos, bem underrated.
@@romulosantosll impressionante ouvir o teu relato.... realmente é mt preconceito, pq eu mesmo por exemplo achei que jamais veria alguém falar isso. É bom saber o outro lado da moeda. Que tua vida siga abençoada e com mt felicidade.
@@guilhermeoliveira9215 hi I recommend you to listen to William Branham's sermons they are very important deadly serious check and they can help you you can find in Portuguese and French too
That's an incredible story! Your momma is very strong. But I gotta say, I love living in Brazil, not just looking at postacards. I don't live in Rio, and a lot of places are not dangerous like there.
It's great if u got money, but again, if u got money pretty much anywhere's fine. besides violence what pisses me off the most here is how nothing is at all affordable, taxes are absurdly high and we have no practical return for the money we invest in the country, unfortunately
@@user-wt5if6rx8m well, my family struggles with money but we are definitely not poor. When it comes to politics I have almost nothing good to say about Brazil, when I said I liked living here I was talking about the country itself, the place, people and culture (bc the way she put, it was like Brazil was such a terrible place no one would ever live here). If you get into life quality details of course there are better places to live.
Entendo seu posicionamento, também amo viver no nosso país, mas como ela afirmou, a opinião é por conta de sua experiência. E bem, ela saiu daqui por medo de várias coisas e Jo em uma visita aqui, foi baleada, imagina a cabeça dessa mãe. E ainda existe um outro ponto, ela era do Rio, então falar sobre cartão postal se enquadra ainda mais nesta colocação, pois o mesmo, junto com São Paulo são os lugares tidos como "principais capitais" do Brasil.
Your mother is a SUPER WOMAN. I feel like such a spoiled, entitled ingrate listening to her difficult but fantastic & monumental journey. Just brought tears to my eyes & made it crystal clear why Jo is the SUPER WOMAN she is!
Muito legal, Jo. Sua mãe é um exemplo! Uma mulher super forte e batalhadora. Só senti falta dela falar como foi quando conseguiram os vistos de permanência, as dificuldades de estar aí ilegalmente, etc. Mas amei o vídeo 🥰
Hey Jo, I heard you’re doing a podcast about different things and if you ever do one with your mom about immigrating to the US, I’d love to collab(?). My mom also immigrated to the US from Brazil but has a very different story and I think that’d be cool to talk about the different ways people come to the states.
I wanted to hug your moment the moment she started crying. Ma'am, you have raised your kids the right way. Joana is an amazing person. God bless you. Beijo grande ❤
i'm gonna share my migration-story as well. i moved to france from spain when i was 11 (i'm 19 now) because of the subprimes crisis, my father couldn't find a job. it was very hard, specially to my mother who still misses her country a lot. but i personally learnt that forcing yourself to dive into ur fears is the best thing you can do. sometimes things go very wrong, and sometimes surprisingly well, but in none of this cases you regret what you've lived cause it builds you UP. change is a thing you can count on, despite the hard times, you grow through your actions. don't feel pressured by ppl experiences, everyone has flaws and everyone has his own pace and way of evolution. i am personally moving to denmark at the end of summer, and I'M SHITTING MYSELF like, really, but you know what ? not everybody has the chance to change. changing your mindset is the key, but dont stop at that, keep up with the small but confident steps. this woman is amazing, she helped me out, and she's the living proof that life may not be fair & easy, but that is no excuse to stop anyone of us. love to y'all
Ruta Bagkar Try it! I was inspired by Jo’s Portuguese videos too and I am so glad I did because now Portuguese has become my most favorite language to learn.
Ninguém que teve um background difícil no Brasil fez 2 faculdades. Sua mãe é tão grateful for the US, but so ungrateful pelo Brasil. This is sad, I felt so bad about the things she said about our country. When she said she doesn't trust people when they say Brasil had changed isso mostra quão irracional ela é a respeito do país, ela só queria odiar e ponto, dá para ver quão mal isso fez/faz para ela.
I'm binge watching this channel rn haha. Even though she says she had to fake being strong, your Mom is so strong! I'm tearing up thinking about how much your Mom went through because she loved her family and wanted the best for you guys. What a role model.
Que história linda!! Sua mãe é a definição da mulher brasileira - que é forte, que luta, que batalha. Fiquei muito emocionado em saber de toda essa história.
Being an American that lived in Rio for one year. This touched me deeply. I really want to hug your mom. Deus abençoe vc e sua mãe. Sending you all the love and all the warmth. Such a great video. Adoro.
My mom immigrated to NYC with 5 kids all alone in her mid 30’s. This video hit home because I know she struggled working odd jobs not knowing the language. When Jo’s mom said she couldn’t cry in front of her kids... my mom also confessed she would go to the nearest park to cry. But she made it through; she became a nurses assistant and bought her dream home and saw all 5 of her kids go to college. And now (my moms youngest) at 24 I’ve decided to pack my bags and move to Montreal in July. Thanks jo for that video. Love you guys 😘
Mamas are the strongest human beings ever! What really shuts me up about her story is how she didn't one second think about herself or her own luck but always about her children because that's all she wanted in life. Her braveness and selflessness are humbling and something to aspire to! :)
This was so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Being a child of immigrant parents this really struck a chord with me. It really is amazing what immigrant parents are willing to do for their children. Life really does work like a boomerang, so it really makes my heart feel full seeing Jo's mom get emotional about Jo taking care of her now that shes grown. Great content you guys
Esse vídeo chegou na hora exata em que eu precisava!!! Eu moro em uma cidade muito marginalizada de São Paulo e ontem aconteceu um episódio na minha escolha que me trouxe esse mesmo pensamento da sua mãe, de que não é possível crescer em um lugar onde é necessário ter medo. Tão inspirador e admirável. Muito obrigada às duas por estarem tão abertas à compartilharem suas histórias e nos inspirarem a não ter medo ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for this Jo, and thank you to your mom. I was recently talking to my coworker who is 35 years older than me and she was giving me career advice and I realized I never had that advice before. So I appreciate your mom's advice, her strength and her encouragement.
Jo, thank you for sharing this story ❤ I have so much respect for you and your mom. Also I'm happy I can understand Portuguese. I speak Spanish but want to learn more Portuguese. Love your videos and I wish I had a friend like you 😭
This really resonated with me, i was very ungrateful when my mom immigrated to the u.s with my brother and i, i remember not wanting to speak spanish and hating that i didnt have a "typical" american family. Now i realize the greatest gift i was given
My abuela and I would fall asleep every night talking about her past her youth, our thoughts in general. I miss her so much it hurts but I am glad that I met her and that we shared the time we did.
This was so inspirational it gives you such a perspective of why families immigrate to create a better life for their kids. Same things with my parents from Mexico everyday they lived in fear of being killed or my mother being trafficked so they needed to move to the US if they wanted to raise their kids in a safe environment. I’m such a strong women now because of it and I see that in you too Jo! Much love girl
Meu deus, Jo! Sou imigrante também(na Suécia) e passando por um momento um tanto difícil, a luz e a força da sua mãe acaba de me motivar a seguir lutando e confiante de que as coisas vão se ajeitar no seu momento. Momentos difíceis são só momentos. Obrigada (mesmo!) por postar esse vídeo.
Eu sinto muito por vc 😥💖 Eu e minha família somos extremamente juntos e já avisei pra eles que irei ao Canadá, mas minha família vai ficar no Brasil, eu vou ter que ir sozinho em busca de uma vida melhor 😥😓
O mesmo sentimento que sua mãe teve ao se deparar com a situação do Brasil, eu tenho hoje. O mesmo sentimento de preocupação, por medo de morrer por homofobia ou na mão de um bandido... É horrivel essa sensação, a gente tenta seguir em frente, mas, eu nao me sinto totalmente completo e feliz aqui, igual ela falou. E tenho esse sonho de sair daqui, mesmo que nao seja pro Canadá(meu sonho), mas o importante é nao viver nessa confusão e totalmente descaso dos proprios lideres brasileiros conosco. Onde o salario sempre alto deles é mais importante que aposentadoria do povo. É um sentimento horrivel, mas vai melhorar. Eu precisava ouvir o que sua mãe falou, ela foi amazing
I think this is one of the most valuable videos i've seen. Your mum living her life with hope no matter what, inspired me so much. Thank you for every advice she has given that she found out by many years of experience it is so so valuable. Thank you❣ she has such good energy coming out of her.
Wow Jo. I'm on the verge of tears because for one, your immigration story is eerily similar to mine. I too came to the US at an early age (3 yrs old) and my mom can attest to everything your mother said. She sacrificed so much to provide for me and my siblings. Also, I desperately needed to hear your message about successful people taking risks because there was "no turning back." I'm at a transitional period in my life where I'm about to move abroad, and I'm TERRIFIED. This video gave me some much courage and comfort! You and your mom are beautiful souls, and thank you for sharing your story. ❤
ela fala como se o Brasil fosse os jogos vorazes, calma aí rs Parabéns pela coragem que ela teve de enfrentar, tem que ter coragem ela é uma guerreira.
@@dan59k Depende da cidade que você mora, na minha cidade não tem essas coisas como no Rio. Nunca fui assaltado aqui, ando tarde nas ruas e não tem essas coisas. Moro na Paraíba na grande João pessoa.
Que vídeo lindo! We came to Canada from Brazil , The only difference is we came legally, but it was really hard. I am doing it actually so my kids can have a better life. We can only appreciate whatever our parents do for us when we are in their shoes. It is hard being in a different country and starting it all over. But seeing them growing up here, it makes it all worth it. I loved the video! ❤️
Me emocionei,tua mãe foi muito corajosa e fez oq muitas mães no Brasil fazem msm com as dificuldades,e vou levar o boomerang pra vida 💓 parabéns pelo canal!
Wow your mom actually made me cry, she's spreading such a beautiful message. On a hole other topic, I wanted to ask to all the hispanic people out there if they had any Spanish channels to recommend ? I'm learning Spanish and I would like to start "listening" more to this language so that it get's more and more natural, but I don't really know where to start.
I love living in Brazil. It's not like she said all the time and everywhere. I don't walk afraid of being shot in the streets because where i live these kind of thing don't happen. Although sometimes i'm afraid of being robbed. But i really understand her trauma. Living in Rio, with 3 black kids, it's not easy
Your mom is so inspirational I just love it! Hearing her story has given me renewed energy to believe in my goals and to continue to strive for them. Also I can totally relate to that whole "Next!" vibe when it comes to men
a parte que sua mãe falou sobre ter medo de fazer algo por não saber se vai dar certo, medo de se arrepender, foi MUITO oq moveu minha vida no ultimo ano e ela ta certíssima, a gente n pode deixar de fazer nada por medo de se arrepender ou de não dar certo. TANTOS ENSINAMENTOS, obrigada por esse vídeo, beijo p sua mãe maravilhosa!
Wow your mom is so brave, I really appreciate, and I feel totally related as an immigrant myself in Paris, I got a job, I have some friends, my financial situation is fine, but sometime you just have a fear, and you just can't get out of it, but your Mom's story just help me out of that fear, Thank you soooooo much for sharing this, Congratulations for your mom to make it to Paris, we would do any thing to make our dream come true though we have to wait longer :) I'm trying to make my dream come trues now, I'll see how far it can go ;)
Such a powerful and inspiring woman! A true dream chaser. She needs to make a speech on TedX too. Her life and her courage is so inpiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jo for sharing this vulnerable conversation with your mother. I thank her for sharing her wisdom. "Even though you're afraid, you cannot let fear trap you to a reality in which you're not happy." Her words are inspiring!
This was utterly beautiful! What your mom explains about wanting a better life for you is what so many mothers want. She was one of the lucky and blessed ones who was able to make a life here. I kind of was hoping that she would say that she is ready to go back home now to enjoy time with her family but if she feels happy here in the US that's all that matters. Hugs from Haiti:)
your mama is an absolute TREASURE. if you see this comment, jo, give your mama a big hug from all of us who stan her and her journey! i thinks lots of us have mamas who’ve had similar stories of coming to the states from their home country, but it’s beautiful to see ms. denise be so vulnerable in front of the camera! i take her advice to heart 💕 much love from cali
This touched me in so many ways... being fully present and listening feeling your family story. You guys have a beautiful soul and thank you for sharing and doing what you love! Like your mom said make a difference, you can do that :)
Sua mãe é uma guerreia e tem uma história de vida linda, Jô! Deus abençoe a família de vocês! Fiquei emocionada com tudo que ela contou. A história dela retrata a história de muitas outras mulheres brasileiras. Deus abençoe vocês!! ❤️
Sua mãe é uma mulher tão incrível Jo. Comecei a chorar quando ela disse "apesar de você ter medo, não pode deixar que o medo te prenda a uma realidade que você não tá feliz" eu precisava muito ouvir isso nesse momento e "Failing is not an option" I'll take this as my motto now. Muito obrigada ❤
wow, i love your mom! and i was just telling my boyfriend a few days ago that when i go home next im going to ask my family about their dreams and desires in life, bc i’ve always told them mine, but i’ve never heard it from them. i love that you guys made this video!! thanks for sharing! now i’m even more excited to have this conversation.
This is so so so lovely. Thanks for letting your mom tell us her story, Jo. I'm also the daughter of an immigrant and I've asked her about her life before she came to the States, met my dad, and had me and my brother. Ask your parents about their lives, and ask your grandparents too. Everyone has a story. Ask them especially about historical events they were around for and how they felt and what they experienced. Also, I travel full-time now and my mother is so proud (and tags along with me whenever possible). So happy you're living your dream!
Your mom is incredible Jo! Makes so much sense that you turned out the way you did. I felt like I just gained so much wisdom from this talk, them 17 minutes flewwww byyy.
WOW Denise... "Você não pode deixar que o medo te prenda numa realidade que não te faz feliz". É muito fácil julgar a jo por estar viajando sempre, vivendo um estilo de vida inspirador sem antes saber de onde tudo surgiu, quais dificuldades enfrentaram para viver o que vivem hj. Muito inspirador esse vídeo. Quem ainda vive aqui no Brasil experiencia a violência e o descaso político e uma hora ou outra pensa e deseja sair, mas até isso é caro de mais, longe de mais. Meu sonho é Shut up and go, that simple. but that phase comes to me and makes me thing non-stop. Shut up and go just seem to be a simple phrase, but every person in this world has your own kinds of troubles and challenges in life and have to solve them or be fierce enough to pretend you're going to solve them to actually shut and go... that added to the various political, geographic, and monetary aspects of each country. it's too much. I like the phrase as far as it inspires movement, action of those who really want a new reality for themselves as human beings. but it does not satisfactorily contemplate the a lot of people in the world, because really only some will be able to realize the dream of traveling as a lifestyle or the simple travel to a farway city in there own country. Não deixa de ser uma crítica, mas não quer dizer que eu não ame a ideia de Shut up and go
Melhor vídeo do RU-vid e cheio de aprendizado!!! Vou mandar esse vídeo pra todos que conheço porque é esse tipo de exemplo que todos precisam!! Que orgulho dessa mulher ❤️
Excelente vídeo! Sua mãe é forte como a minha, foi e fez acontecer mesmo com várias adversidades, dúvidas e medo. Por isso teve uma filha tão bacana quanto você Jo ( e seus irmãos) e também por ser tão legal e com essa ótima energia conheceu o Damon, que é também digno das mesmas qualidades. Muito sucesso pra vocês, adoro o canal e a espontaniedade e criatividade de vocês.
Só quero dar um abraço apertado na sua mãe!! Você e toda geração depois de você vão ter que agradecer muito a essa guerreira por tudo que ela passou e fez por vocês. Maravilhosa!
Parabéns para sua mãe e agradeça a Deus todos os dias por ter essa mãe tão guerreira e maravilhosa. Vou compartilhar esses vídeos nos grupos de brasileiros que estão indo embora, por causa da crise. Vai ajudar muito, obrigada por nós compartilhar esse história bj😘. I loved it.
Wonderful story. You must be so proud of your mom. My mom has dementia and its so hard dealing with her this way. We should all spend more time with our moms. They want to be asked questions about their lives.
