Wode Maya joins us as we talk about his journey. He has a fascinating journey from going to school in China with no money, to his becoming arguably one of Africa's most influential KZfaqrs. @WODEMAYA

Wode Maya is right. The western media hasn't done Africa any justice. I went to Ghana and Rwanda in February 2024, and I was so at peace especially in Rwanda. Only God can describe my feeling.

What you mean his dad smiling in heaven?, there are three heavens, so which be specific? As a people we do not read for ourselves we just adopt what others say and run with it. My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge, because though hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that though hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.(Hosea 4:6).

Hey my brodda Asafa I am a fellow Jamaican living in the US these are reason why they are making it hard for us indigenous people to travel to other countries especially to the countries where other indigenous people live is because the powers that be have to keep us apart from each other so we don’t come together collectively as a people and unite they know that if we are unite and become a cohesive unit we will be a force to be recon with and be more powerful than an other people here they know who we are it’s time for us to know who we are.

I’m so happy to see you both connect with Wodemaya and Miss Trudy. I was one of the Jamaicans on his page several years ago telling him to come visit JA and the rest of the Diaspora. But, seriously, we need to talk with governments about the obstacles people from Africa and the Caribbean face when traveling between countries. People from North America and Europe travel the globe 🌍 with ease.

I would have never thought, or imagine blacks in " black countries" are being racist in this age, even in the Caribbean. It shows there is much to be done to opening peoples eyes and perspectives and highlighting truth, and oneness in humanity regardless of our place of birth, and the color of our skin, eyes etc... Great job Mr and Mrs Powell.

He's straightforward and I like that. I think his dad would be so, so proud of him, but this is just the beginning. I feel like he is going to go huge and I hope that when (not if) he does, he stays the same, humble guy he's always been. Btw, I love it when Alysha's Ghanaian accent comes out. And I really LOVED her "I am Alysha" comment - absolutely perfect. I really can't wait for the video with Ms Trudy. Well done, everyone. Fantastic work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Wode Maya is wise. Love is an emotion ad that alone cannot sustain a marriage in long term. Having something that draws you to your spouse or brings a spark in you is the way to go. That is why some say marry your friend in that case when the ‘lovey dovey’ feeling goes down something that cannot be broken holds you together that is true love and friendship. Married for a decade and half and l can say you need more than mere love to stay in marriage.
