Why I Disappeared | Poverty, Burnout, & Starting Over in Japan & Trying an O2 Box for the 1st Time

Why I Disappeared | Poverty, Burnout, & Starting Over in Japan & Trying an O2 Box for the 1st Time.

After millions of views, viral videos, and years of sharing my life as a Black woman in Japan… I disappeared.

In this video, I take you through the quiet journey of why.
From living in a wooden box in the cheapest Tokyo guesthouse…
to finding peace in a traditional Japanese house with my fiancé.
From burnout and poverty…
to love, slow living, and a surprising first-time experience in an O2 Box capsule.

We also traveled from Tokyo to Hokkaido by commuter train and ferry — no bullet trains, just slow steps forward.

This is the most personal video I’ve ever made.
