Having already ventured into farming when she purchased land in California, Roger faced scepticism from those around her. However, the tide of public opinion shifted dramatically during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As she immerses herself in her agricultural pursuits in Kenya, she confidently declares that the decision to make this leap was not only sound but profoundly rewarding.
“When I bought my farm in California, everybody thought I was crazy, and then Covid hit. And now, I’m out here and I’m in Africa, and I’m farming and I’m living and I’m growing businesses.
“People probably think I’m crazy, but I guarantee you guys, this is the most beautiful, and quite frankly, the best decision I’ve made. I’m a pioneer; this is what I do. I’m here, I’m loving it,” she said.
Roger’s narrative of reinvention resonates deeply; not only as a personal testimony but as a beacon of hope for many seeking purpose and fulfilment.
As she explores the continent of Africa, the artist has solidified her love for the rich heritage, culture and opportunities it offers.
Her recent purchase of farmland in Kenya serves as a testament to her commitment to embracing a sustainable lifestyle while also contributing to the local community through her entrepreneurial spirit.
Fans and followers have been quick to rally behind Roger, sharing words of encouragement in the comments section of her post.
@km.sinclair commented: “I don’t think you’re crazy. I think you are one of the most sane and grounded people and probably a lot more wise than you know. Eshiiiii 🌍.”
@melanielmitchell echoed this sentiment, noting: “I love all that you’re doing! We don’t think you’re crazy, you’ve truly curated an amazing life and a lot of us are here for it!”
Moreover, @exquisite_qu33n wrote: “It is a beautiful feeling to find your purpose in life. She just increased her lifespan by 20-30 years more. This is the new American Dream… unfortunately.”
This commentary underscores a broader cultural shift, where success is increasingly being redefined beyond traditional metrics such as wealth and fame.
Roger’s journey not only highlights her personal growth but also represents a larger movement of individuals seeking a more meaningful existence, particularly in a post-pandemic world.
As she continues to cultivate her connection to the land and its people in Kenya, her story serves as an inspiration for those eager to explore their own dreams and aspirations.
