From Homeland to Homeowner: Building Wealth Between Liberia and the U.S. || Episode 087 ||

So another question I wanna ask you, right? Why do you feel like it's more important for people to invest in Liberia instead of them just sending money for people just to go ahead and just live?

Yeah.

No, that's a great question.

Why is it more important to invest in?

No, I think it's important.

Like, even for me, I send money all the time to family members for school, and you still have to do that for, like, education purposes and school fees and things like that.

But I now have a business there called Clear Kayak Liberia, and it's based in Marshall around Caesars Beach, where the old Caesars Beach is.

And it's, my point of doing that, I don't-- I'm not really getting much back from it.

Mm-hmm.

No one's sending-

Mm-hmm.

There's no remittances.

[laughs] Right.

You know what I mean? No one's sending anything back here.

You know what I mean? But the point of that was, like, okay, instead of every day Send Wave, sending a Send Wave every couple days, you know what I mean? Let me start a business there.

So I sent the kayak.

I think I even, one of my drones broke.

Yeah.

I even had to ask you to send-

Yeah, you asked me to take the camera there.

Yeah

... ask you to take a drone for me.

So the way Clear Kayak works is, like, you know, they're, they're in the, they're in the water in a clear kayak, and the drone is on top of you.

So it's not necessarily, like, a leisure activity where you're kayaking, but it's more so, like, a photo and things like that.

Mm-hmm.
