GROWING UP BLACK IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND ft Valentina

Thank you for making this video ladies 😊I’ve always wanted to live in France... that's until I visited Switzerland. There's something that feels so right to me in Geneva. Maybe it's the swans? Lol. It’s definitely expensive (I live in L.A which is expensive city for US standards) but my ❤️ wants what it wants😍.

24, wow I’m old asf

Hi Nana!
Thank you for the delightful upload - it was wonderful listening to your experiences in Geneva. I plan on working with an international school in Switzerland in coming up with effective ways of tackling racism (including prevention at primary sch level) in school. Since your experience at CDL was a positive one, I was wondering if you could share with me what you think CDL or ECOLINT did correctly in ensuring that you never felt marginalized? We will of course reach out to CDL and other schools directly but I feel it would be more beneficial to hear from someone like you. Hope this is not too much trouble. Stay blessed!:-)

Any advice for an American trying to relocate to Geneva in regard to finding a job?

In the sea of vanilla 😂😂😂❤️

Switzerland-expensive lifestyle,banking secrecy,the Alps,high class people,special chocolates,wines

BIG IN JAPAN may be difficult to achieve,but if you are BIG IN SWITZERLAND,they say is more difficult,but truly wonderful

I suggest you go to Southeast Asia and invest on real estate,Phillippines,Thailand,Myanmar,Vietnam

The Eatery in the top floor of La Praille is amazing.

Love this ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing. I am smiling.

Hi ladies... how about media and advertising industry , do they take English speakers?

i went to CDL last year and it was great!!

You ladies got it going on. 😘 😘

Sweet lovely

Nice video please can I have your phone number

I’m doing Communication and it’s good to hear you guys talking about the availability of jobs that side! It would be a dream come true to get a job in Geneva

very sweet and informational....thanks for sharing ladies

Thanks for your smiles, ladies...I'm in Switzerland since 14y now, but on the German side: quite different, but still a lovely place to be 👍🏾
Cheers from St Gall 😎

Any where you go in the world , talented very articulate in the representation of oneself this set the tone of a environment. Switzerland, I coming!

Geneva is definitely completely different to the rest of the country. I am positive someone in Basel or Zurich or Lugano would have a completely different (and probably far worse if I'm being honest) experience. It's nice to know Geneva exists as an exception!

Beautiful people...

The Swiss love chocolate! LMAO

OMG not the edm music lmao

what's their IG?

Being black is not the same as being an Arab in Geneva

Gorgeous ladies, love your content ❤ love to hear all these stories, know that am not alone

Are you guys from Nigerian Parents?? No one spoke the Swidz language.

Just gotta say, love your hair and that you keep it natural instead of the hairhats a lot of afro american women put on. Just be yourselves, you both look absolutely beautiful. Vanilla Swiss guy btw.

Black this, white that, women this, men that. We’re all human, enough of this divisive talk.

I went to la chate to cdl and grande Boissière

You guys are looking great , nana our own gh queen

Nana are u married ?

Hello ladies thanks for your friendly video....I went to the International School in Geneva and am originally from New York...I have lived here for many years and although I am missing something (being white) it seems to me that Switzerland is one of the least racist countries on the European continent..one sees inter racial couple all over the place....I think that money is more of a criteria on which one can be judged...have you noticed that around Balexert and Avanchet seems to have a high proportion of black people and I wonder why....any ideas? I have also noticed that demographics of Geneva have changed a lot in recent years and one sees more black people from modest backgrounds...I suppose from north Africa but I am not sure.

I'm headed to Geneva on a work trip the week of Sept 13th. Any advice on night life or cool places to check out?

This was interesting. I'm from The Bronx but I went to Ecolint! Dont ask! Lol

Maybe you should distinguish between ur experience and the one of lower class black people in Geneva or Switzerland...and there are obviously differences within the different areas...

Hay que Linda. My favorite is the Lady on the right. Cutie...

NO, switzerland is said to have a high rate of racism, worse,
without constitutional rights as Americans. Switzerland just voted overwhelmingly to endorse same sex marriage. I'm still researching. Can't wait to see what switzerland think about abortion. 82% white. My brown skin would be overwhelmed with the hatred. These 2 women. Wow! Not interested in seeing the civil rights move backwards. This country is not attractive to say the least.

Im a white guy. Dont let the world be the judge of your value or beauty. Both of you are shining light on the world. God got you

I am a 30 year old white Australian man, why am I watching this? haha. You guys are fun to watch.

Gonna be hard not to fall in love with Geneva with the so much love you beautiful ladies described it. I'm sure will be visiting from LA soon

I am Swiss, speaking Swiss German, “High German” French, english and some Italian. I lived in Geneva for a while and loved it. But it seems, that, when ever I listen to people on the Internet talking about Switzerland, there is soooo much “different” about my country and sooo many things, that “should be different”, that I am asking myself, why are all these people coming and living in Switzerland????? WE are happy the way we live. The more I read about my country, the more I find, that mostly Americans seem the need to change Switzerland.

It is easier for u to get a good job because u grew up there Switzerland is home for u ,that was why u used ur network and got a job but for African immigrants is all sad stories,heard professionals doing cleaning jobs,there is a lot of racism in that country I'm surprised this ladies never mentioned it...........forget about the beautiful country,the high paying jobs, ur mental health matters ,if u are a black immigrant I do not think Switzerland is a sweet spot for u .Look elsewhere

I’m reading this in 2024. Interesting.

I’m from Ethiopia,I was studying and work in Geneva before corona and I finished my study and now move to Canada as a skilled immigrant….

Do people generally get married at younger ages like in their 20s? Here, in NYC, people get married older, like up to their 30s and 40s.

What about religion? Are there more Christians or catholics?
