Jay the Behavior AnalystWhat happens when the people you trust the most — the ones representing power and authority — take advantage of your kindness? This is the story of how I lost 100,000 shillings to a government official in Nairobi.
I came here believing in opportunity, connection, and growth — but I quickly learned that even in paradise, there are lessons that money can’t buy. This isn’t just a story about being scammed… it’s about resilience, awareness, and learning how to move smarter in a city full of contradictions.

In this video, I discuss why the term has a different cultural meaning in South Africa, how Americans interpret it, and what this controversy reveals about race and identity across cultures. As a Black American who has spent time living in Africa, I share my honest perspective on the conversation.
What do you think are people misunderstanding Tyla, or should she explain her identity differently to an American audience?

So many people approached me to share how long they’ve watched my content and how it has inspired or encouraged them. Moments like this remind me why I continue sharing my journey as a BCBA, father, traveler, and content creator.
Thank you to everyone who introduced themselves and showed love. The love was real!

And how does raising daughters change the way a man thinks about women, relationships, dating, and marriage?
In this conversation, we talk openly about the qualities that matter when choosing a wife, what men should bring to a marriage themselves, and some of the challenges that come with raising girls in today’s world. Becoming a father can completely change the way you look at relationships and the standards you have for yourself and others.
This isn’t about saying every woman or relationship should look the same—it’s our perspective and an opportunity to have a real conversation.

After spending so much time traveling and living abroad, it’s always interesting coming back to America and seeing just how massive everything is. Come explore the mall with us and tell me in the comments: What’s the best mall you’ve ever visited?

In this video, I’m showing you where things stand, what’s changed, what I’m planning next, and how I’m feeling about the purchase now.
Buying property is always a big decision, especially with everything else I have going on between work, traveling, family, and spending time between the U.S. and Kenya. 🇰🇪🇺🇸

#NewCondo #CondoUpdate #Homeowner #RealEstate #LifeUpdate #JayTheBehaviorAnalystI’m Struggling With American Life After Living in KenyaJay the Behavior Analyst2026-08-26 | Living in Kenya changed the way I look at everyday life more than I realized.
Now that I’m back in America, I’ve been struggling to readjust. The pace of life, social interactions, community, cost of living, and even the way people connect with each other just feel different after spending so much time abroad.
In this vlog, I talk about the reality of reverse culture shock and why coming “home” hasn’t necessarily felt like coming home.
I love America, and I love Kenya for completely different reasons. But living abroad has permanently changed my perspective.
Could you move back to America after experiencing life somewhere completely different?

In this video, I had the opportunity to speak with educators about Applied Behavior Analysis, challenging behaviors, reinforcement, classroom strategies, and how we can better support students without making the classroom harder for teachers.
As a BCBA, I believe ABA works best when therapists, teachers, and families are all working together. This was a great opportunity to bring the clinical and education worlds together.

America offers convenience, opportunity, and so much materially, but sometimes it can feel incredibly isolating.
In this vlog, I talk about loneliness in America, the difference I’ve noticed in community and everyday social interaction, and how living in Kenya changed my perspective on what actually makes a place feel like home.
This isn’t about saying one country is perfect and another is terrible. It’s about my personal experience and why returning to the U.S. has been a bigger adjustment than I expected.
What do you think? Is America becoming more lonely and disconnected?

In this video, I respond to some of the criticism and explain the bigger picture. I’ve spent a lot of time in Kenya, made great memories there, built relationships, and consistently shown the positive side of the country. Talking about one negative experience doesn’t erase any of that.
I think we should be able to appreciate a country while still being honest about our experiences there.
Was I wrong for speaking about it? Or are people reacting without hearing the entire story?

In this vlog, we sit down in an American park and talk about reverse culture shock—the things that feel different after living abroad, what I miss about Kenya, what I appreciate about being back in the U.S., and how living in another country can completely change the way you see home.
This isn’t about saying Kenya is better than America or America is better than Kenya. It’s about how your perspective changes once you’ve experienced life on both sides.
Would you ever consider living outside of your home country? And if you’ve lived abroad before, did you experience reverse culture shock when you came back?

In this video, I sit down with a parent to talk about her son’s journey, the changes she’s noticed, and what his progress has meant for their family.
ABA is about more than data and goals it’s about helping children build meaningful skills that can improve their everyday lives. Moments like this remind me why I chose this field.
If you’re a parent, BCBA, RBT, or someone interested in ABA and autism services, I hope this conversation gives you a look at what progress can look like from a parent’s perspective.

But after actually living in Kenya, my perspective completely changed.
In this vlog, I talk about some of the biggest misconceptions Americans have about Africa and why, as an American, there are certain things about life in Kenya that I genuinely prefer over life in the United States.
From the people and sense of community to lifestyle, culture, freedom, social life, and the way I feel when I’m in Nairobi — Kenya has challenged a lot of what I grew up believing about Africa.
This isn’t about saying Kenya is perfect or America is terrible. Both have their advantages and problems. This is simply my experience after actually spending significant time on both sides.
Has your perception of Africa changed after visiting? And if you’ve lived in both Africa and the U.S., which lifestyle do you prefer?

#Autism #ABA #BCBA #AutismAwareness #Kenya #ChildDevelopment #BehaviorAnalysisI REFUSE to Monetize Africa. Heres Why.Jay the Behavior Analyst2026-06-17 | Many creators come to Africa looking for views, donations, sponsorships, and ways to turn the continent into content. This video explains why I've chosen a different path.
Even with a growing audience and opportunities to monetize, I've never wanted Africa to become a business model. The goal has always been to build genuine relationships, share real experiences, learn from different cultures, and tell stories that often don't get told. In this video, I talk about why I don't ask viewers for money, why I don't create content solely for clicks, and why I believe some creators are missing the bigger picture when it comes to Africa. This isn't about criticizing anyone. It's about explaining my personal approach and the values that guide my content. What do you think? Should creators monetize every opportunity, or are there some things that should be bigger than money?

A lot of people see the tattoos… but not the struggle, pressure, sacrifices, and hustle behind the work. In this vlog, my friend opens up about the realities of building a name for yourself in Nairobi’s growing tattoo scene, dealing with stereotypes, getting clients, pricing, social media pressure, and chasing success through art.
This ended up being way deeper than just getting a tattoo.

#Nairobi #Kenya #LivingInKenya #AfricanCities #TravelVlog #NairobiKenyaMental Health & ABA in Kenya | The Conversation Nobody Is HavingJay the Behavior Analyst2026-05-15 | Mental health conversations are growing in Kenya, but there’s still a long way to go. In this video, we sit down for an open discussion about ABA therapy, mental health awareness, stigma, support systems, and what the future could look like in Kenya.
As a BCBA living and working in Nairobi, I wanted to create a real and honest conversation with different perspectives about therapy, mental health, and the importance of community support.
We discuss: • Mental health stigma in Kenya • ABA therapy and autism awareness • Cultural perspectives on therapy • Access to services and support • The future of mental health conversations in Africa
This was one of the most meaningful discussions I’ve had in Nairobi and I hope it helps open more conversations across the continent.
#Kenya #MentalHealth #ABA #AutismAwareness #Nairobi #AfricaThe BIG Difference Between Kids in Kenya vs AmericaJay the Behavior Analyst2026-05-13 | After spending time living in Nairobi, one thing that stood out to me immediately was the difference in how children behave in Kenya compared to the United States. From public respect, social interactions, listening skills, independence, and community accountability, the culture around raising children feels very different here.
In this vlog, I share my personal observations as an American and as a BCBA working with families and children in both countries. This is not about saying one country is “better” than the other — it’s about exploring cultural differences, parenting styles, social expectations, technology influence, community structure, and how environment can shape behavior.
While walking through Nairobi, I talk openly about what surprised me, what I admire, and what I think both cultures could learn from each other.
If you’ve lived abroad or experienced both cultures, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
