In my personal case I had the most wonderful time in Kenya whereas I was hearbroken and married a Kenyan woman, while we are no longer married we have a wonderful 26 year old son Anthony "Amp" Elmore Jr. He traveled to Kenya with me in August of 2024 he was blown away and works in security in Memphis he does not visit night clubs. In Kenya it is filled with beautiful woman who are not like "American Woman." Woman in Kenya at the clubs are straight forward. Just as a man goes to a club and spot a pretty woman and make a hit, woman in Kenya see a handsomeman and make a "Direct Hit." My son was blown away it would be rare for a beautiful woman in America to walk up to a man and say "I like you do you want to be my man." My son could not believe his eyes he met beautiful woman who owned businesses or had a rich family.

Years ago I told a woman about Kenya and she went to Kenya and found a husband.

What was interesting in Africa was I do not know how men are today in Africa but my friend in Africa loves woman with "Meat on their bones." The thin woman were not as attractive of the heavy woman. Many Sisters in America would find this culture attractive. My suggestion anyone going to the "First Family Reunion in Africa" have fun meet people.
