Our Kenya Move: The Truth About Who We Are and Why We Chose This Life

Описание: We just moved our mixed-culture family from New York to Nairobi - and a lot of people have opinions about it.
Some Americans don’t understand why anyone would leave the U.S.
Some Europeans can’t imagine moving to Africa.
Some Kenyans are frustrated with how their system works, while foreigners can move here easily.

That’s the starting point of this video - not a defense, but an honest look at who we are, where we come from, and why Kenya made sense for us.

I’m Austrian with Italian roots.
My husband is Jamaican with deep African ancestry.
Our kids carry four nationalities, but identity is so much bigger than passports.
So where does a family like ours “belong”?
What does home look like when you don’t fit into one box?

In this video, I’m sharing:

✨ What people get wrong about why we moved
✨ How migration, belonging, and identity shape our family
✨ Why we chose Kenya intentionally - not impulsively
✨ How we think about privilege, systems, contribution, and community
✨ What we hope to build here long-term

If you’re a family thinking about leaving your home country…
If you’ve wondered what it means to belong in multiple cultures…
Or if you just want an honest perspective on moving to Kenya - this video is for you.

If you're curious, stay.
If you're triggered, ask yourself why.
There’s more to this story - and I’m only just beginning.
