In my last video I visited a historical Black college and university. My whole intention was to showcase to the world a beautiful Black institution, to highlight its culture, its pride, and its history. In the midst of that positivity, there are some comments I need to shed light on because they reveal something deeper happening in our community.
This brother has spent hours writing insults. He called me a primitive African, a third world boy, said immigrants should be deported and threw every stereotype at me that he could.
What hurts is that none of this is coming from someone outside our race. It is coming from someone who looks just like me. As an African man who has traveled across the world, I have dealt with racism, ignorance and many uncomfortable situations, but the most painful moments do not come from outsiders. They come from the self hate within our own community. The way we tear each other down. The way we weaponize Africa against each other when every Black person in America comes from that same root. The way some of us cannot stand to see another Black man think differently or grow beyond what they understand.
The saddest part is that before this video, I interviewed someone from a white organization that openly promotes segregation. That conversation was more respectful, more productive and more human than what I am receiving from this man here. That alone shows how deep the wounds in our own community truly are.
The problem is not always Black against white. Sometimes the deepest wounds come from the attacks we aim at each other. The insecurity. The ignorance of our own history. The internal division that keeps repeating itself generation after generation. This is what holds us back even more than what comes from outside.
I am sharing this so people can see the reality we deal with. Not to shame anyone, but to show how far we still have to go. A Black man calling another Black man a primitive African is heartbreaking. Our strength should be unity, understanding and respect, even when we disagree. We can challenge each other without tearing each other apart.
We have to do better.

After three parts, my conversation with Eric — the man building a white-only community in Arkansas, has finally come to an end.
This wasn’t an easy series to film. It pushed me outside my comfort zone and forced me to face ideas that many people think but rarely say out loud. Some of Eric’s beliefs are controversial, but I believe conversations like this matter — because understanding doesn’t start with silence, it starts with listening.
I’m proud I opened this discussion. Whether you agree or not, it’s proof that we can talk, question, and even disagree without being enemies.
Thank you to everyone who watched, shared, and supported this project. 🙏🏾Your voice and perspective matter.

This is part 2 of my sit-down conversation with Eric — the founder of the “white-only” community in Arkansas. No cuts. No filters. We talk race, identity, history, and why he believes Black people shouldn’t be allowed to live there.
This is one of the most uncomfortable and important conversations I’ve ever had.

My first video from Arkansas is now LIVE.
This was a very sensitive and challenging experience — I visited a self-described “white-only” town to understand the mindset, the history, and the human story behind it. I approached this with respect and honesty, and I hope you’ll watch with an open mind.
This is Part 1 of the journey.
Part 2, featuring the full conversation, is coming soon.

🇱🇻 Final Words from Latvia 🇱🇻
During this Latvia series I learned something surprising. YouTube can actually freeze your account to run checks and verify that your views are legitimate. Unfortunately, that meant my videos were not promoted properly during that time and many of you never got notifications about the new uploads.
Latvia may not be on everyone’s radar, but I hope you have a curious mind like I do. If that’s the case, don’t forget to explore the full Latvia series. It’s now complete, and the final episode is already live.
If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a moment to watch it, hit the like button, and go back to like the previous ones too. It really helps fix what I went through with YouTube and keeps the channel growing.
YouTube can be tough sometimes, but none of this would be possible without your support. I truly appreciate every single one of you who has been part of this journey.
See you soon in another country 🌍✈️

🇱🇻 I went off the beaten path in Latvia…
With the help of a local Latvian, I visited a hidden Soviet site that even most people here don’t know about. For many, this place was the last stop before being sent to Siberia. This is a piece of history few ever see or talk about.
This isn’t the tourist side of Latvia.
This is the real story.

I Went Inside the Creepiest Building in Latvia (The KGB House)
This place gave me chills.
It’s not just a museum but a reminder of how far fear and control once reached during the Soviet era.

🎥 New Video Out Now: Discovering the Untold History of Latvia 🇱🇻
This isn’t just another travel vlog — it’s the beginning of a deeper series where I explore the stories, scars, and resilience that shape the identity of places most people know little about.
In this episode, I take you to Latvia, a country with a tragic yet powerful history that still defines life here today. This video isn’t about nightlife or entertainment. It’s about understanding.
My goal with this channel has always been simple:
👉 To take you to places most people have never heard of…
👉 To show you worlds beyond the usual tourist maps…
👉 To remind you how big, complex, and beautiful our planet truly is.
I know not every video will trend. I know this kind of content isn’t what the algorithm pushes. But I’m here to tell the stories that matter. The kind Anthony Bourdain once called “journeys to parts unknown.”
If you’ve been part of this journey, I thank you deeply.
And if you’re new here, welcome to Ivaintures, where we go beyond borders, beyond comfort zones, and beyond what’s popular.
🌍 Watch the full video now, and let’s keep exploring the world together.
