Hi Nikkie, I’m very happy to hear that you’re having a positive experience this far 😊

Yes. Me too🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂 glad to hear

I’m glad you found it helpful

😂😂😂

That is true @Princess I agree that if it becomes a hindrance on our lives and spaces there should be action. I also address my current position with this in the business space in Colorado. Check it out in this Vlog: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msqIlNxp36ytZXU.html

@@GiftedYoungOne Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it! Honestly, the Pandemic wiped out so many businesses especially small Caribbean and Black businesses, so I don’t have any Caribbean style parties that are reoccurring in mind at this time.

Ayeeee, let me know if you want more videos like this.

That is lovely, I hope your transition goes smoothly

No problem! I’m happy you found it helpful 😊

Okay, how do you like it so far?

@Empress Moxie I love it although I love Denver and Aurora. I love Colorado because of a climate.

@@shabazzmuhammad498 I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying it 😊

@@shabazzmuhammad498as a black man I want to also move to Denver how has your overall experience been?

I've visited before, long ago. Is it pretty busy daily as a city? I don't remember it being so. Seattle is soooo busy and i hate it.

Nice! I hope the video helps in your decision making!

Congratulations to your daughter on her milestone 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It is nice in Denver, just ensure that you have a financial plan and housing lined up. Those are most crucial.

I graduated high school next year too. I’m thinking abt going to college in Colorado

I understand and hope you choose whichever you find most fitting.

Thanks so much for your content. This really helped. Right now Colorado is the best but I want to fully be prepared for the move. Thanks for your help!

@@Girlgetup__ I’m glad it was helpful and I agree preparation is most important especially in this economy. 😊

@@EmpressMoxie Does this beautiful queen have a man of interest in colorado??

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful 😊

Thanks for watching! Honestly, the black population in Colorado could never compare to New York, Cali, or Atlanta. It’s majorly Caucasian here, but there are little pockets of black communities like Aurora, and South Colorado Springs based on areas I’ve frequented myself as a woman from the diaspora living here. As for pay, that’s not something you need to worry about because pay is pretty good here, especially when you have a trade, or education in STEM fields.

😂😂😂 yay! Wishing you safe travels.

How did it go I’m from Mississippi too but I left 2 years ago moving Texas now planning go Colorado

@@Blk_NRGwell I haven’t experienced any racism yet. But they are kind of rude here lol nothing like Mississippi. It randomly rains here, it’s cold in the morning and hot in the day. It’s hard to breathe, but the mountains are beautiful 😻 the prices are insane. That’s about it lol

​@@jerbear21Hard to breathe? Why? 😮😮😮

@@nkreseknowledge2241altitude! Takes time to adjust. Lived in CO for 3 years and thinking of going back.

I will next Sunday in my Vlog!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 😊

Lol yeah I am ❤️🇯🇲

Hi Yaadie! Thanks for watching. Dwl yes winter is October through February here. My advice for proximity to the city would be Centennial, Highlands Ranch or Aurora. Aurora is closest to Denver if the three I mentioned and more populated with black and brown. I can recommend a good Jamaican restaurant which is Reggae Pot Jamaican Grill located at 7562 S University Blvd, Centennial 80122. Family friendly and good quality food. Great outdoor attractions all over Colorado including the Botanical Gardens summertime, for the Fall and Winter Season checking the City of Denver website or Eventbrite is a good resource for outdoor and indoor events all around the state. If here in December Skiing or snowboarding are a must try! Lots of hiking trails and recreational parks are free and safe to the public 😊 Hope this helps and I hope wherever you choose to visit you have a safe and wonderful time!😊

Hello, so glad to come across your video and realizing your a fellow Jamaican like myself.. My name is Racquel and I just subscribed to your channel on KZfaq. I was just browsing and doing a bit of research because I’m contemplating relocating from Florida to Colorado Springs in the earlier part of 2024 so much thanks for putting your video out there. I know nothing of this state but greatly appreciate the info which you have shared on the economy, jobs, food, socializing , self care etc…. Definitely love our culture so Caribbean food and products is a must.. This will be an entirely new world for me so looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks much.

@@QueenXancia36 Hi Racquel , lovely name. Nice to meet you, I’m happy to have you on the channel 😊 and glad to answer any lingering questions.

@@EmpressMoxie LMAO thank you for the quick reply. Funny enough earlier today I was watching a black American couple talking about CO. Video was about 3 years old though. They did mention that Aurora had the highest percentage of black people BUT they said it was the "hood". Don't really know what they meant by that, like if it was ghetto and unsafe or if they meant hood juts because it was more "colored". The wife mentioned that she was from the hood/ghetto so my guess is that's what they meant. But it's so unfortunate because I have looked at quite a lot of cities over the last couple years and always it's the case that the higher the black population the more violent. Smh Anyway, how BRUTAL are the Colorado Winters????? 😂😂 I've come to the conclusion that I will have to deal with snow if I am to live the way I truly want to live. Smh

@@PoetClbrown They meant hood as in quality of housing and access to certain services and grocery stores compared to the other gentrified areas. It is actually true in that context, but Aurora is in close proximity to Denver so it’s not that serious if just visiting. The Colorado winters are not as bad a Boston or Chicago, but we go as low at -2 in deep winter periods. Outside of that our snow doesn’t usually stick and melts the next day if overnight snow.

Hi! Okay, I’d love to. You can find me on IG @itsurfaveempress

@@EmpressMoxie followed!

Yes, it is now. This is an older video when I was less familiar with those resources in Aurora. Thanks

Squirrels, skunks, smal foxes, deer, owls and other singing birds. Up in the mountains are the more serious wildlife like bears, rattle snakes and mountain lions. Of course, it’s important to remember that the visibility of these animals is seasonal.

Ok thank you

Hi, thank you for watching. I do my own locs, I’d recommend using Facebook or IG to find locticians. Colorado Springs and Aurora are most diverse.

@@EmpressMoxie Thank you so much! ❤

I wanted to ask her the same because my son has 2 strand twist. His sister worked in Moab UT with him for the season so she kept his hair done. She just did it before she left last week, but he stated there is some one out where he is moving that does hair for people of color. He has PLENTY lotion...LMAO

Thank you!

Hello, I do my own locs. I know a loctician here, but she’s setting up her books at the moment. Once I have more information I will respond to your comment again. Outside of that, I’d suggest sites like Styleseat to browse and see reviews of locticians available.

Of course 😊

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you found it useful 😊

Yes there are in Aurora where the black and brown population is prominent.

Centennial, Lone Tree, Aurora, Cheery Creek

@@EmpressMoxie oh ok cool thank you I just found your video today and I got more info in that little bit of time then I have in weeks

@@southsidemike90 I'm happy to hear that you found my videos helpful. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

@@EmpressMoxie I definitely will your my online tour guide

Of course!

I’m not familiar enough with that area, I’ve only driven through it

I don’t get it…care to elaborate

Hi, @CW. Okay, that’s South Florida. I’m aware most parts of Florida pay $8/hr. In Colorado majority of the places start paying at $15 regardless of the $12.56 min wage. I was stating minimum wage for an understanding.

@@EmpressMoxie of course my girl big up yourself nuff respect

Yeah but you can’t survive in south Florida with $14…

@@cocaschannel okay. That’s not what everyone voices.

@@EmpressMoxie I meant can’t you can not survive by yourself in south Florida with $14 and hour.
