You look soooo beautiful in that kimono🫶🏽
I love how people didn't care how you were black, but the fact that you were respecting their culture. As always you slay in everything you wear. Love you, girl,😍😍😍
Love getting a glimpse into your travel experiences!!
Lol…why didn't you say you were from Nigeria?😂
I love your friend. He's a good hype man 🤗
HONORED TO BE IN THIS VLOGGG! already miss you queen!
Cute vlog- I'm getting tired of people acting stupid when it comes to cultural appropriation – it's like the bs reverse racism card and they only puff up their chest when it comes to Black people 🙄. It's not the simple act of participating in someone's culture or appreciating it, but there are people who are so attached to their perceived right to steal and ridicule other cultures that they chose to make a false argument to absolve themselves of any responsibility 🤦🏾♀️
I loved my kimono when I was in Japan
You look absolutely stunning! Love, the sincere smile!
Such a cool experience. I love how friendly and peaceful everyone is.
You look so beautiful, I definitely would want to do this whenever I'm able to visit Japan 🤩
Wow, you look absolutely stunning in this kimono with your afro 😍 Cultural APPRECIATION at its finest ❤💐✨
