    Americans moving to Africa realizing they've been lied to (the TRUTH is...)

    In this episode i talked about Americans moving to Africa realizing they've been lied to about the reality of life in Africa. Americans can sometimes come off as very entitled and high maintenance. They expect to enjoy the same comfort they are used to in America and when they don't get it, they get very disappointed. Some Americans move to Africa hoping to enjoy a slower pace of life however the reverse is often the case. With all the challenges faced by some African countries (e.g. poor electricity, no water, lack of social amenities, etc), they find that they have to hustle to get the same level of comfort because it comes at a cost. Americans come off as being entitled when they complain about these things because they take them for granted in their own country. Also, I find that some African Americans move to Africa with the hopes of connecting with their heritage/roots. They often get disappointed as well because of all the complexities involved, connecting with one's heritage is very nuanced and is not very straightforward . Some Americans often believe that Africans live in cities/towns ruled by kings and queens and that could not be further from the truth. Hollywood & movies like Coming to America has romanticized African ;living/life in Africa that Americans visiting often get surprised at how things are. This episode is for Americans or foreigners who are curious/intrigued about Africa and are looking to migrate, visit or explore living in Africa. Africa is a great continent rich in culture and made up of several countries with many many tribal and ethnic languages. Africans are very welcoming and warm towards foreigners and have a strong send of community. Hope this episode enlightened you and if decide to visit Africa, it will be worth your time!

    Overwhelming GUILT and the silent pressure to help others

    The overwhelming feeling of guilt and the silent pressure to support others. In this episode i share my personal experience of dealing with personal guilt that comes from having a savior complex mentality due to survivor's guilt. I put a lot of pressure on myself to rescue people I have left behind in certain seasons of my life. As someone who has deep levels of empathy, i find myself overly sensitized to other people's struggles. Part of the reason is because i have been there and i know how it feels so i am usually quick to break my own boundaries and carry weights & burdens that aren't mine to carry. Having a savior complex most times comes from surviving hardships and when it's mixed with having an empathetic temperament, it creates a pressure cooker situation inside where you're constantly carrying everyone's burden and feeling like it's your duty to save them. This is something a lot of immigrants like myself struggle with where they feel like they have to rescue and support their families and communities back home even at the expense of their emotional and mental well being. As a good person, you should support your family and community but there should be a limit to it. My earliest experience of dealing with this type of guilt was when i was a child and have experienced it in different phases of my life through out my adulthood. I still struggle with it from time to time but i'm learning to educate myself on how to overcome it and set up good boundaries. This episode is for everyone who is struggling with feelings of guilt and the intense desire to rescue people. Hope you enjoyed this episode. Please lIke, Share, Comment and Subscribe.

    My testimony (encounter with Jesus, false preacher & faith struggles)

    I share my personal testimony of salvation. I grew up in a Christian household and was raised in the Anglican (protestant) denomination. However, in the course of my childhood, my parents moved us to several churches/denomination some of which were bible based while others preached heretical doctrines that wasn't founded on Christ or Salvation. In 1997, I had a personal encounter with God where I experienced a radical transformation and my life was completely changed. I went from being timid/shy to becoming bolder and living without fear or condemnation. Despite that encounter with Jesus, my Christian journey hasn't been easy or linear. There has been a lot o bumps along the way and moments of doubt/unbelief, but God is keeping me through it all. Hope you enjoyed this episode. Please Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.
