A Black American couple uprooted their lives in Virginia, walked away from a business generating close to $1 million (KSh 129 million) annually, and flew their family to Nairobi in search of something they felt the US could no longer offer them.

Veronica and Okino Oakley, who have two sons named Amari and Xavier, spent three years researching potential destinations before committing to the move.

Nairobi and Johannesburg were both in the running, but the Kenyan capital ultimately won them over because of its business climate, skilled workforce and cultural energy.
