00:00In this video, we will discuss Diana Daisy Gao's official engagements during her visit to Papua
00:08New Guinea, her bold decision at the Indonesian border, her impactful journey across PNG,
00:14her meeting with the Prime Minister, media appearances, and how she inspired a nation.
00:19In recent years, Papua New Guinea has often been portrayed through a lens of fear and uncertainty.
00:25Headlines about tribal violence, political unrest, and law and order issues have dominated
00:31international media, painting a bleak picture of the country.
00:34These portrayals, while based on some realities, have drowned out the deeper story of PNG,
00:40a land of ancient traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and a people full of heart and hospitality.
00:45She's giving me money, and I'm like, I don't want money, but I was told it's their culture.
00:49But again, I don't want, but I just want to say thank you.
00:52I'm not supposed to be receiving money.
00:53Because of this, many around the world have hesitated to explore it, seeing only danger
00:58rather than beauty.
00:59But a new voice has stepped in to challenge that narrative.
01:02Diana Daisy Gao, a vibrant and fearless Kenyan actor, singer, entrepreneur, and digital content
01:08creator, recently undertook a journey to Papua New Guinea that is now inspiring thousands.
01:14Known for her presence on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, Diana's platform reaches
01:19people across continents.
01:21Her visit to PNG was not just a personal adventure.
01:25It was a powerful statement of faith in a country the world has unfairly judged.
01:29Diana's journey took a dramatic turn at the very start.
01:33She chose to cross into Papua New Guinea by land, from the Indonesian border.
01:37There, she was stopped and warned by several Indonesian locals and officers who strongly advised her
01:43not to proceed.
01:44They described PNG as lawless and unsafe, urging her to turn back.
01:48But Diana, calm and courageous, listened respectfully and then made a bold move.
02:12She crossed the border anyway.
02:14Guided not by fear, but by a desire to discover the truth for herself, she stepped into PNG and
02:20into a story that would soon shake perceptions.
02:23What she found across the border was not hostility, but warmth.
02:26From her first steps into PNG, Diana encountered people eager to welcome her, communities willing
02:32to share their stories, and cultural riches rarely seen by outsiders.
02:36She traveled far and wide into villages, marketplaces, churches, schools, and cultural centers.
02:43She didn't stay in luxury accommodations or isolate herself.
02:46Instead, she lived among the people, laughed with them, and danced in their celebrations.
02:51She immersed herself in the true spirit of PNG.
02:54Through her phone camera and her voice, she began telling the real story.
02:58Her videos and posts flooded social media with breathtaking visuals of PNG slush mountains,
03:04pristine waters, colorful bilas, traditional attire, and joyous communities.
03:09Her content drew thousands of views and comments from people around the world who were shocked
03:13and delighted to see a version of PNG so different from what they had imagined.
03:18She was rewriting the global script, one clip at a time.
03:21This is coconut oil, coconut oil, virgin oil.
03:25Oh, that's a virgin oil?
03:26Yes.
03:27For applying, it's very good for hair?
03:29Yeah, it's for hair, cooking.
03:32Skin.
03:33I didn't even tell in my mind.
03:34How much is it?
03:3510 kina.
03:3610 kina.
03:37Okay.
03:38Okay.
03:39Natural from the coconut.
03:40It's natural from the coconut, so not much of?
03:42So organic.
03:43Okay, it's very organic.
03:44I want to get it.
03:45This is 10 kina, please.

03:48Yeah.
03:4910 kina is almost 2.5.
03:522.5 dollars?
03:53Yes.
03:542.5 dollars.
03:55This is the nut?
03:57Yeah, it's nice.
03:58It's a very delicious nut.
03:59Would you like your taste one?
04:01Yes.
04:02Okay.
04:03What kind of nut is that?
04:04I've never seen it.
04:05That.
04:06Yeah.
04:07I know.
04:08That's one problem.
04:09Mmm.
04:10This is my first time seeing this kind of nut.
04:16Yeah.
04:17I think would you like to try one?
04:19I would.
04:20Okay.
04:21So guys, where are we going to?
04:22We work here.
04:23We work here.
04:24We work here.
04:25Do this country ever get dry?
04:27No.
04:28Because it's evergreen?
04:29No, it doesn't.
04:30Oh, wow.
04:31No.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Rainy.
04:34It doesn't get like dry, dry.
04:37It doesn't look like desert.
04:39No.
04:40That means it's a very fertile country.
04:41Yeah.
04:42But Diana's journey didn't stop at tourism.
04:44Her arrival caught national attention and soon she was welcomed into PNG's political
04:49and civic circles.
04:50She was invited to the national parliament where she met with members of parliament, women
04:55leaders, and youth representatives.
04:57They discussed culture, creativity, youth empowerment, and how international voices like
05:02hers could help change PNG's global image.
05:05Her insights were genuine and heartfelt, and her presence in parliament sent a message.
05:10The world is watching, and PNG matters.
05:13In a remarkable and proud moment, Diana met personally with the Prime Minister of Papua,
05:18New Guinea.
05:19The two shared an honest and encouraging conversation about national identity, tourism, digital media,
05:25and international solidarity.
05:27The Prime Minister praised Diana for her courage, thanking her for stepping into PNG,
05:32not with prejudice, but with purpose.
05:41Their meeting was more than a photo opportunity.
05:44It was a dialogue between two worlds, connected by respect and vision.
05:48Her influence continued to grow, as Diana was interviewed by PNG's top radio stations
05:53and television networks.
05:55Speaking to a national audience, she shared her experiences, corrected myths, and called
06:00on Papua New Guineans to see their own country through fresh eyes.
06:04She told them what many needed to hear, that their country is beautiful, their culture is rich,
06:09and their hospitality is unmatched.
06:11Her words reached homes, villages, and urban centers across the nation.
06:16Hoorayetia mare!
06:17Roayetia mare!
06:18Bainears' homes, doubles, childpasia- renewal,
06:21ame are rich, to caninears.
06:24We mutia these pom fare, it's good to know why we not worship our true쉽anger.
06:29Moreover, you are upset about our salvation for us.
06:30We are to be grateful for our salvation,
06:34nope, they are given the power of the efforts,
06:36We are also determined by the power of the people that are mistaken in our lives.
06:40Democrats and settle for ourselves.

06:43The public response was overwhelming. Many PNG citizens said they felt a renewed pride
07:01in their identity. Young people, especially, looked to Diana as an example of what it means
07:06to be bold, to believe in something bigger, and to create change through your own voice.
07:11She inspired youth not just to explore the world, but to tell their own stories, build
07:16their own platforms, and showcase their culture with pride. What made her impact so authentic
07:22was that Diana did not come as a celebrity demanding special treatment. She came as a
07:27sister. As a woman from Kenya, a country with its own struggles and triumphs, she connected
07:33instantly with the everyday people of PNG. She listened before she spoke, learned before
07:38she taught, and honored local traditions at every step. That humility made her presence
07:43even more powerful. Her journey was also a rare moment of connection between Africa and the
07:48Pacific. Diana's visit built a cultural bridge between two often overlooked regions of the
07:54world. It reminded both Papuans and Africans that they share more in common than they may
07:58realize. Histories of resilience, rich oral traditions, spiritual depth, and the strength of their women
08:05and youth. It was a celebration of melanin, of indigenous wisdom, and of global sisterhood.
08:11In an age of digital influence, Diana showed how a smartphone and a sincere heart can bring
08:16transformation. Her content didn't rely on drama or controversy. It was built on truth and beauty.
08:22Through her voice, PNG was seen not as a failed state, but as a hidden gem, a country not to fear,
08:28but to cherish. She gave the world a new lens to see one of Earth's last true frontiers.
08:32In conclusion, when others still call Papua New Guinea dangerous or backward,
08:37Diana Daisy Gao stands as living proof that those narratives are outdated.
08:42Her journey was bold, brave, and beautiful. It breathed new life into PNG's tourism dreams,
08:48inspired its youth, and touched the hearts of leaders. She crossed the border with faith
08:52and left behind a trail of light that will not be forgotten.
