"Where Are All My People At?" — Why This Black American REFUSES to Move Back to the US

A homeless stranger handed her back her own business cards — and it changed everything. Twani Price left corporate America and South Central Los Angeles to build a Black wine empire in Cape Town, South Africa. From being humiliated at a 5-star restaurant to being featured in The New York Times, from selling out Black-owned winery bus tours in LA to founding Afro Wine Week — this is the story of betting everything on yourself, your culture, and your community. We talk moving abroad as a Black American, why representation in wine matters, dating in Cape Town (it's "like Squid Games"), grief from a distance, and why she'll never move back to the States. 🍷 Guest: Twani Price — Zuri Wine & Events | Sips with Soul | Afro Wine Week Keywords: moving abroad, Black Americans abroad, leaving America, Cape Town, South Africa, diaspora, relocation, Black-owned wine Chapters ### Chapters - **00:00:00** The sign from God - **00:02:00** Who is Twani Price? - **00:06:00** South Central LA childhood & twin sister - **00:14:00** The 5-star dinner humiliation that started it all - **00:22:00** Quitting corporate with a 6-month payout - **00:30:00** Broke in Cape Town — the homeless man moment - **00:38:00** The New York Times calls - **00:46:00** Why representation in wine matters - **00:55:00** Grief, family & missing home - **01:05:00** Dating in Cape Town = Squid Games (Gabrielle Union story!) - **01:15:00** "I like my wine like I like my men" #CapeTown #SouthAfrica #WineIndustry
