Funke stating, "Get right with yourself first" was one of the realest points mentioned in this video. Love it.

[nappyqueen]

This was good! My husband is Mexican from Mexico City and we met in Texas. We plan on retiring earlier than the retirement age in Mexico! It’s ridiculously expensive in the states.

[Mexitplans]

Man Y'all did that! I love your style of video editing and production. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of this.

[cindyk]

Omg Funke, what a story, working in the same hangar her father flew out of! I love these interviews, you need to do more of them! You guys keep upping your game, it's excellent to watch.

[juandominguez]

All people are welcome to 🇲🇽 we dont discriminate anybody, i am happy that all of you likes my country 😊

[CJ-xgii]

Loved hearing all of your beautiful guests’ stories and experiences. Funke’s advice particularly struck a chord—deal with your baggage before moving; don’t expect it to magically vanish just because you’re going somewhere different. So true. Thanks, Yarbros!♥️♥️

[sandrasgotvoice]

Love hearing different perspectives from so many different regions of the country. I had no idea Mexico was so diverse before watching this channel. Gracias. 🙏🏾

I have dated out of my race and its common when people are dating out of their race race for the first time. It can be awkward at first. But you can tell if someone is genuine VS you just being the flavor of the month.
I love the older lady. Her vibe is everything. So motivating.

[JoyfulMoon-iptu]

I absolutely love this ultra positive and helpful episode, watching from New Jersey now.
Excellent and bravo 👏 to Team Yarbros

[vialese]

I found myself binge watching all your videos with coffee and donuts within a week. And I mean all of them lol. Great content. Each vid made me feel like I was there and even more excited for my own journey to MX next year LW. I never comment because I never know what to say but thank you so much for sharing so much information, knowledge, tips and joy!

[spacesandplacesoutthere]

GREAT episode family. You KNOW we want to see MORE of these right?
You're on to something with this series. This may even warrant a separate channel based on these type of interviews alone around the world wherever we are.
👊🏿💯✈

Funke is stunning. She has a beautful soul. I am always excited to see new brothers and sisters coming to Mexico. I am learning of black history in Mexico. I can see how our culture is in ways inspired by black culture. Stuff we were never taught. I have family with black features and recently found out we have Nigerian in our DNA. We are all connected and I believe we are stronger more powerful if we unite. I love to see black peole coming to Mexico. Welcome!! I also thought Funke was such an interesting person to interview. The family in SMA was also a interesting to hear thier point of view. Loved this video.

[JoseAngelFilms]

Wow! What a great story of my hometown Monterrey Nuevo Leon, Ms. Funke is an extremely wise woman I really admire a lot what she said about our Mexican culture and traditions! Thank you for sharing this and keep up the great work to the "The Yarbros"

[amadolandin]

Excellent video. It's not easy to move to a different country as an adult, but with an open mind and heart, it can be an easier transition.

[DedraFabreTravelingChronicles]

Wow! This is such a great interview style.

[dhobby]

Such wonderful and insightful guest. Another high quality production Yabros. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽. ATB from sunny Cancun! 😎

[DiaryofaBasicBW]

Funke reminds me of my grandma, who we called Sweetmama. This video gives me so much encouragement to go ahead and start my move. I'm thinking of going to CDMX in February to scout a bit.

[usuarioaleatorio]

i love the black american culture, their family values are similar to the mexican ones

[METEANDI]

We will be in Guadalajara in 2 weeks. We can’t wait. Thank you for ur videos. Hope we can meet some dope ppl while we’re there for a few days

[chasingpridefilmsllc.]

Just want to see you did a great job making this. Not one point did I feel bored, or uninspired. Great job making the audio clear, good angles and great people to follow. 💪🏾
