Jennifer understandably feels disconnected from the land and the people of her birth. She has spent three quarters of her life abroad and left Africa at a very young age. She no longer resonates with the simplicity and pace of life.

You do a decent job using dialogue, to introduce a character arc that sees Jennifer realising that unless she has a shift in perspective and attitude, she will not enjoy her time in Africa visiting with her family. As soon as she makes a conscious effort to fit in and be more accepting of her family's culture, she begins to see the value of coming home to the land of her birth and is able to appreciate her family and friends a bit more.
