  1. Now is the time when these crafts should be preserved to ensure that we have them around for all time. That means paying a good price at the production line, not the middle man and certainly not the companies. I know I can weave a small rug, but I don't have the knowledge or experience that these artisans have grown up with. I value their work more than anything that is synthetic and on the market these days. So if you are able to, go to the source of the manufacture of these goods and buy direct from them.

  2. They're selling them for cheap because they don't know the worth of most their products and are swindle and manipulated by foreign entities to sell them for cheaper as the businesses don't the market cap, all they don't even do market analysis and have no idea what 'breaking even' even is.

  3. Im just over here hoping that guy really enjoys eating snails, bc he and his family must have to eat ALOT of them to avoid waste. Kudos to him for using all of the snail. Im wondering if the murex shells can be ground and used to make tile.

  4. I married a Kenyan and we just recently returned from Jamaica to see all this Kenya/Jamaica YT interaction. Its great being able to take your spouse and kids to your homeland to experience it again with them, and through their eyes. I'll say visiting Kenya as a Jamaican is like being a celeb, an artist at the museum in Nairobi took time out to just talk Jamaican culture history and music with us, when he should have been showcasing his art. Famous musicians stopped to take videos with us at the airport, and Jamaican flags are everywhere around Nairobi. The feeling is mutual for sure, and I agree that I long for the day when the various tribes and other Africans embrace each other like we embrace them.

  5. In 2024, Don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.

  6. These women deserve gold as payment for their work!! Such skill and patience just to weave the wool into something playable…
    Beautiful rugs!! Intricate designs!!
    Eliminate the so called “ middle man “ and perhaps you’ll be one step closer to freedom of exploitation.
    God bless these wonderful Women!!

  7. The reason Business Insider has this video, is so that startup founders who have never touched a grain of sand of plank of wood, jump up and colonize, trader by trader all of African resources. Comments that talk about representation seem too naive. The west is the worst.

  8. I totally enjoyed watching this. I wish there was something I could do to help the Moroccan rug women to get their work directly to the world at a premium cost.

  9. Why are you disregarding the Vest African Shea butter? Just talk about yours. Why do we let them come between us as Africans. It's very sad. After all there are varieties of the same type of product in marketing.
