I have never see you cry. You really connected and loved mother Africa. A place where you feel at home and welcomed. No race discrimination. Good weather, organic food. Simple peaceful life.

I was born and raised in England but only got the chance to go and visit my homeland of The Gambia when I was 23... I fell in love with the country and African and didn't want to go back to England. I balled my eyes out when it was time to leave.

Partly because I felt I was sold a lie about African my whole life...😢 I couldn't stop thinking about going there and rebuilding my life.

Until God made a way for me...

I now live in Kenya and haven't looked back.

I feel your pain dear 😢 bless you ❤God will make a way for you too 🙏🏾

Africa the cradle of mankind. No matter how bad it is painted people still go back to it. It is full of SOUL and LIFE
One love ❤

Yes girl this is the pain we feel when we leave Africa. The feeling is unbearable. African will always be home. Please don’t cry you can make it tradition for your family to go every year especially December during the festival season you will love it even more❤

It's so emotional❤🇺🇬, land of fresh foods!

[mitsysimkelle]

I know how you feel my dear. It’s the nature, does something for the soul… it’s hard to explain. That’s how I feel every time I leave Jamaica so I could just imagine leaving the mother land.

[Ivie_Ogunwonyi]

Despite all of its issues, this is how I feel when leaving Nigeria. America is stressful, while Africa delivers a feeling of peace mentally and physically.

[charissejohnson]

Imagine the tears of our ancestors staining American soil
.😢😢😢😢😢😢

[conniestyles]

As an Ugandan living in London, everytime I visit I have the same feelings. Uganda is definitely unforgettable and thank you for moving my beautiful country. 💚💚💚

[coachberline]

Awwww I’m so sorry. It’s so hard. I’m originally from Haiti and I’m suffering from all types of anxiety and sickness. Nothing like being home around people that talk, walk and breathe just like you. I’m an empath so I feel you on this one sis, so please be strong.🥀🥀🥀

[lethabrooks]

[michelemoore]
