We Moved from the US to South Africa and bought our dream Home , We now live on $3000 a Month
Meet Mark, LaTasha, and their daughter Savannah — a thriving Black American family who once lived the American dream. Mark worked for the U.S. Secret Service. LaTasha was a Doctor of Physical Therapy and ran a chain of successful clinics. Savannah was being raised in the hustle of American life.
But after a life-changing trip to South Africa, they decided to do the unthinkable: sell everything, leave the U.S., and start over in Johannesburg.
What they discovered wasn’t just a new country — it was a new way of life.
