How can I contact you through Email... Trying to get a plug on kente cloth and any ithe African cloths and prints. Maybe you can help me out or guide me where to go?
Great information. I was wondering what are the pro and cons of starting a business in Ghana. example apartment buildings
An Asian guy I know told me yesterday that "Ghanaian people have the best smiles." I thought that comment was very sweet.
Yeah, the best smiles are Ghanaian smiles
They may have the best smiles but those smiles drive me crazy sometimes. Lol. When I tell or ask people that I am engaging in commerce with to put on a face mask, he or she oftentimes will smile. When I ask them why they’re smiling, they never give a verbal reply. It’s actually quite endearing at times, though. I think it’s done in order to avoid a hostile confrontation. Most Ghanaians seem to detest confrontation (which is necessary and unavoidable sometimes. They also believe in saving face, rarely wanting to offend you. They might even tell you a lie or remain silent (and smile) so as not to offend you.
Luke is adorable!
Isn't he though... I love that he is so excited about moving to Ghana!
😍😍😍
Love my mature people and that black love...this is the way forward, we watching and we appreciate
Awesome! Thanks for the love and welcome ❤️️!
Driving is really crazy in Ghana. I am a Ghanaian but married to an American. We visited Ghana some years back and my wife decided to drive because she drives all the time in the US with me in the car. In Ghana she was driving and she slowed down and a taxi driver jumped in front of her and then another taxi did the same. She put the car in park right there and said F..this, you drive hahaha. I drove for two weeks and she studied the behavior of the other drivers before she started driving again.
🤣😂🤣😂!! Yeah bruh, that driving isn't for everyone, lol!
@@ExpatLifeGhana 😂😂 especially taxi drivers don't like to follow road rules
Driving there is not for the faint of heart lol
I love 💕 the level of RESPECT, Ghanaians have for anyone older than them. Especially you can’t call anybody older than you by their names, you go like if he is between 17-40 you say Bro Jame, or Sister Jasmine. 40-70 you start with an auntie or uncle. 70+ and above dad or mom, or grandma 👵 or grandpa. 🇺🇸✈️🇬🇭
Yes! ❤️️! I love how much respect is infused in the culture. Leaps and bounds over the US!
That stems from the fact that everybody has been a child before, but not everybody gets to reach an old age. Achieving elderly status is something that cannot be promised. And as result, you have to respect your elders for actually seeing the world longer than you have and gaining a bit of wisdom on how to survive this world. Nobody can promise you longevity on this planet no matter what you do in life other than by the grace of God. So basically it's just cultural consideration we afford our elders, regardless of their status in life. Surviving long enough on Earth is something to be proud of and it ought to be respected by young folks.
This kind of respect and reverence are found in all over Africa. I'm from DR Congo and can easily relate to this fact. You do not address your friend' father, Mother, Aunty, Big Brother or Sister by their first names. No! You address them as Papa(Father), Maman, Aunty(Tante), Uncle, Big Brother(Yaya...followed by their first name, e.g. Yaya John, Yaya Isabella, etc...). May the Lord bless Africa.
All over Africa.
Yap respect is important
I miss the sense of community and the food
Aww... YES! We love the community and the food too. ❤️️
I love the smile and peace around your husband. I also love the joy around your wife. Your hands must be full with such a joyful woman. She loves you very much.
Aww... thank you. They peace and joy of family surround us and we are thankful everyday ❤️️. You are right, too. There is lots of love here!
@J A I concur. The smiles (and dimples) made me subscribe. Their son is delightful too
@J A I concur. The smiles (and dimples) made me subscribe. Their son is delightful too
I'm sold, I am heading to Ghana.....,
You should! It is amazing ❤️️ and I am sure you'll love it!
Fortunately, the borders are closed indefinitely while I'm still here . 😂😂😂
I am also waiting to go there and start a business and live there and breathe some good air
@@sherieh7567 you don't believe that we are going. My wife and 3 kids all very well excited and ready to go back home.
@Keke Meme Yes I learned the hard way; always move away from city centers no matter where you live. I am going to try to find a place outside of Accra.
In Ghana, drivers can do all sort of things on the road but they will never fight each other.
Just recently in the news in Texas two drivers got into after one driver cut another one off... and he shot the guy! As crazy as driving in Ghana may seem, you are right... they will not fight over it.
bro. when it get serious they fight ooo
We dont fight,we scream and insult at most and drive away peacefully
Nope they will scream "Kwasia aboaaaa" and possibly bash your car but...that's about it! 😂😂😂😩🤷🏽♀️👍🏾🇬🇭
@@AnnnnnaQ 😂😂😂😂 it's so true. I remember one taxi driver telling me that kwasia was their national anthem
This man is sooo Ghanaian. He looks like some Ghanaian uncles I know.. KOOL 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏽
How did I not see it? I guess my heart wanted a Ghanaian all along ❤️️
If not for the accent 💯
I said the same too. He looks like an indigenous Ghanaian.
He looks like Gyedu Blay Ambulley
What do indigenous Ghanaians look like? I'm curious to know, after all Dagombas don't look like Akans, Akans don't look like Ewes, Ewes don't look like Gurunsis....feel me?
I could tell he was Ghanian, his smile is so warm and you can see how proud he is m. You as well sister... you guys are adorable. New subbie 🖤
Yes! Thank you! Welcome to the channel ❤️️!
My ex-husband is from Ghana. He has a beautiful smile. Just one of the things that held my attraction.
1. The warm and welcoming people
2. The slower pace of life
3. The History of Ghana
4. The food
5. The potential. Ghana is still developing
6. The weather
7. The culture
8. The Ocean
9. Driving
10. Things are more fresh and less processed (food, health products)
We are actually at the center of the world
That damn western map distortion splits things to make it look so different than what it is. Great point Brent!
I'm here
Lol. There is google oo
Brent Goff there is a song that says the same thing you say by a musician named Roy Ayers. The song is called Africa.
There is no actual center of the world... Earth is round. if you're calling a Galaxy the world it was proven that Earth is not the center of the Galaxy lol
Beautiful! The future of all blacks is linked to Africa! Africa is the future
It will end up being the start and end of many people's journeys... and our journey will take us to Ghana (as soon as these borders open up again 😉). Thanks!
Hellooo Africa is now
Left home 20 years ago now I'm looking forward to go back home
My dad was here for 25 years and was happy to move back home for the last 20. You can do it too and we will see you there! ❤️️
Expat Life Ghana was looking forward to going home this Christmas but when border opens up I’m definitely coming home
I am curious to see if the fares are reasonable or skyrocket because so many people are wanting to fly home...
@@ExpatLifeGhana been checking and tracking ticket prices with skyscanner, price has been around the same.

Love her dress beautiful I love Ghana too
Whenever we go I try to have a few dresses and a suit made. I LOVE the fabric and the colors (and the craftsmanship)❣️
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL. YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HAPPY WE ARE SEEING YOUR VIDEOS AND KNOWING YOU ARE MOVING TO GHANA. NICE TO SEE ONE OF YOUR BOYS ON VIDEO TODAY. THEY WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME GROWING UP IN GHANA. YES, BABIES ON THE BACKS OF THEIR MUMS ARE A BEAUTIFUL SCENE AND IT IS GREAT SIGHT TO SEE IN GHANA.
Thank you so much 😊 Luke was so excited to be in this one and both of them are super excited to get back to Ghana!
I miss the sounds. Pounding the fufu , sweeping the hard packed ground and floor, the children from the nearby primary school, the constant sound of the taxi horns, people hailing taxi by calling out their destination ("ministries, " "Nima ...", drumming at dawn during Ramadan. I miss Ghana. You are fortunate. 👍🏿🙂
@Zandra Faulks - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
Did your name used to be Tompkins? If so, I was in the Peace Corps with a woman named Zandra from 1977-79 at the Ghana Institute of Journalism in Accra.
@@markeklund3166 Hi, Mark! Yes, it's me! You and I taught at the GIJ. You lived in Adabraka, I in Nima. How are you? So glad to see you.
Sandy was in the Kwahu region, correcting my previous text.
Hey, Mark. I do not recall "Sandy," but you and I definitely taught as PCVs at the GIJ at their former campus near Ringway Estates. As I recall, you taught PR. Thompkins is my maiden name. Mary Barratt and I lived in Nima. I know it's been a while, but you got it right with your first post.
You guys make me miss Ghana so much!!!😭😭😭😭One of the things I love most about Ghana is a sense of belonging, and a sense of peace that I never really get here in the states...The one thing that freaks me out is the driving 😱...but as crazy and chaotic as it may be...they have a system, and it seems to work for them...I just can't be a part of it...lol...when you guys finally make it to Ghana, I would love to see a collaboration between you guys and Woda Maya👍🏾
YES!! You belong from the moment your foot steps off the plane! We love that too. And Tony loves the driving but Ayo would rather be driven 😉. Either way, you're right. There is a system and it works.
I would love to connect with Wode Maya #LifeGoals ❤️️
@@ExpatLifeGhana wode maya
The things I loved most about Ghana was the food, culture and hospitality. I'm looking forward to returning hopefully as an expat to start but seriously looking for entrepreneurial investing. Love from Chicago!
Yes! All good things. And there are lots of chances to invest or build your own business in Ghana. Hope to see you there 😉!
Me too. Looking for entrepreneurial investing and no cop killings!
I love the food there too its a lot more healthier than the GMO's they put in the U.S. foods
Totally agree! The food here in the US is even more preserved that the same products from the same companies in other western countries 😵☹️! It is nice to be in Ghana and not have to worry about that as much ❤️️.
Awh you're son is adorable 😭🥰little pumpkin. Beautiful family, so happy more people are moving across the diaspora.
Thank you so much 🤗. And we are glad to share our journey in hopes of inspiring others to make the move too!
Your husband looks like a Ghanaian 😉🥰🇬🇭❤
You think so? He loves hearing that ❤️️!
Really 🇬🇭
I love the information that you are giving me because I am trying to leave the United States and move to Ghana. I have seen numerous CZcams shows about Ghana and havé learned many things, but the two of you teach me and inform me of many things I have not heard of nor about. Keep doing what you two do. You are very informative. Thank you very much. By the way, I am 54 and am from Oakland, California but have been living in Illinois for the past 23 years. I want to leave this country and live and die in Africa. Actually, truly in Accra. My fiancee is from Accra. Bye and be blessed.
@Damond Foster Gardner - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
Definitely the best choice..
I'm trying to tell everyone the same. Spread the love and news. Time to move.
AS SOON AS HE SAID HE LOVE ❣️ THE CRAZY DRIVING IN GHANA, THEN I NEW HE'S GOT THE GHANAIAN BLOOD IN HIM... SHOUTING "I'M HOME ✊🏾🇬🇭✊🏾". WE GHANAIANS LOVES YOU "Akwaaba"
😂🤣😂 No DNA test needed... it he loves driving there, he is home! ❤️️
Thanks for the love and the laugh too!!
The driving bit was hilarious, I had a good laugh
It is something to see, right?
Also Texans drive a bit wild like Ghanaians as well..lol
I've never been there, however I'm currently working on getting there for a visit. I'm very much interested in the natural fresh food + the culture.
You should- you will love it! And a friend of mine that visited there a decade ago ended up moving there saying "my hair has never been so thick, my skin so clear, my diet so clean and my heart so full"... that says it all!
@@ExpatLifeGhana Sounds Awesome!
I've been wanting to go for years must go after travel restrictions lifted
Waakye! Waakye!! WAAKYE!!! . Just try the Waakye when you get there. OMGGGGGG
I love Ghana. You will learn how to speak the vanacular at a fast pace because they will take time to teach you. Regardless of the cons. The pros exceed the cons.
@Margie Flama - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
Wow I said Sir looks like a Ghanaian and you confirmed that his DNA proves he is. Well as it is a Ghanaian culture, when a lost family member return home, should be welcome back to the family and he or she is entitled to everything just like any famil member.
When in Ghana, check out the Keta area in the Volta Region and do the Volta Basin tour, where the Volta Rivier meets the Sea, it is great and do the local boat tour to Atiteti and surrounding. New restort have been opened in the area. We are all waiting for the country to open and we can go back enjoying African Culture.
We are looking forward to visiting the Volta Region when we get back to Ghana! So many people have raved about it.
Tony loved that his DNA test showed he was Ghanaian and has always felt welcome in Ghana
Luke is soooo precious ❤️❤️! You guys are blessed; to allow him the experience, of being raised around his own.
🇬🇭🇬🇭🔥🔥
He's Ghanaian 👏
👏👏👏 Tony LOVES that too!
I love watching this channel puts a smile on my face 😊
Yay! We are so glad
Abby94 This is the second video I've watched, they just popped up today, and you are so right. I better go subscribe now.
Her smile is so infectious 😍
Love you guys 😘
Aww... Thanks! And thanks for watching ❤️️!
I miss the sense of community and started to live with fake smile in America.This is the most bad thing which really broke my heart.I don’t try to do it in my life as much as I can.Because I don’t want lie my mind and make my self feel bad.
Yeah, last year ghana was lit they had alot of events going on, its was like every month they had an event going on for the "year of the return" and it looked really fun and I really wanted to go but I was stuck in school 🙄🙄 but alot of ppl were having fun and they filmed it on CZcams
It was so lit! So much going on and so many celebs making the trip. We hope they keep up the celebration in one way or another!
Wait, did he just say he loves the driving??? Ok, you are Ghanaian for sure! Love your channel by the way! Ghana is about to be more lit than last year after Corona.
Yup... love the driving. Ghana all the way! And we can't wait until the party starts again!!
I hate the driving here in Ghana, especially Greater Accra. I have never seen such madness in my life. It’s actually dangerous, in my opinion. Motorist gave the right of way here, not pedestrians (that’s what’s practiced anyhow). On top of that, Ghana is not a seatbelt-wearing culture.
@@MrOu83 but still there not that much road accidents and I always wonder how, I'm Ghanaian turning 18 soon I'm so reluctant to learn driving because driving here is soo crazy and overwhelming. commercial drivers like to intimate you
@@killdungeonclan3605 - I know it may seem that way because we don’t see them personally (I have seen several in just over 9 months), but Ghana’s fatal vehicular accidents resulting in death, ranks #23 in the world. This is according to World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018. It is based on number of fatal accidents by population. per 100,000, a percentage is taken from that. Being that highly ranked for something like this is not good. I am frequently told by taxi drivers that Ghanaians don’t like to wear seatbelts. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t like, especially where it involves your health, safety, life. Seatbelts could probably have lowered the fatality rate in some of those accidents. A cultural paradigm shift is needed.
I'm impressed with anyone who can navigate the streets there. I'm tempted to try driving there but haven't been brave enough yet. Been taking lots of Ubers, trotros and taxis or add or a friend drives me. Maybe next time I go back, I Will!
I went this time last year. I believe my favorite was the Slave Castles, like you mentioned. Every Black American Needs to experience it.
So, so true! There is no textbook in the American education system that can teach you as much as that trip does about the slave trade. I hope more black Americans can make the trip. Thanks for the comment @Kisha 😉!
I agree , but I would say that the entire Diaspora should experience it. As Americans we often think of slavery as an American thing when America actually received less enslaved Africans than the tiny island of Jamaica. It's the separate and unequal aftermath that is still present today that sets us apart. Brazil was the largest consumer of enslaved Africans. When I visited Brazil a few years back, I was super impressed at how they were able to maintain customs although they are hundreds of years removed. It reminds me of the Gulla Geechie community in America.
Not only Black Americans, but Caribbean people too. I’m Caribbean and I’ve been there. It’s horrifying.
Ghana is a beautiful collorfull country, can't wait to go back, soon this pandemic is over. ❤❤❤ 🇬🇭
You've got that right @Jose Salgado! Cannot wait!!!! Thanks for commenting ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!
As a Ghanaian I laughed when you said driving. Driving back home makes me sweat
You've got that right @Bush Man! Thanks for commenting ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!
What you mention about being a developing country and so much potential with new businesses and everything is what I have been preaching to folks and now is the time to relocate. We need a movement and we need to start up a company to help relocate folks to Africa.
The Culture, Ocean, Cape COAST and the BEAUTIFUL Scenery!
You've got that right @Serina Walker! All things to LOVE- Thanks for commenting ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!
Wow I always knew he was Ghanaian ,he has the GH vibe going on
Ha! He loves hearing that too ❤️️
How much did you comment here
He really looks like a Ghanaian no doubt
He loves that ❤️️! He totally is Ghanaian.
Hi I love your videos. 2 things you talked about struck me personally: the comments about driving - reminds me of Cypress (The island in the med, not our H town neighborhood, guys!) They Drive like maniacs there and never stop!,
Also the food - Love the lack of preservatives and less sugar - you can taste food properly when it’s natural!
Awesome information- I feel like I’m learning so much about Ghana and want to visit!
How old is your boy? He talks like a grown up. I like him. Just want to tell you all Ghana loves you no matter what. Don't let bad day with anyone in Ghana make you change how you feel about our country. Just like everywhere there are few bad nuts. 🙏🏿
lol, we love Ghana!! And the boys are 5 and 11... and we love them to death ❤️️❤️️❤️️!
Am Nurudeen and a new Subscriber.Born and raised in Accra Ghana,Lived in NYC for 10 Years and in Ghana now.Happy seeing us black people coming together.You guys have a great vision and i will love to be part of it.With well educated Black people like you.Africa will be a better place for the new Generation
Thanks Maja! What a great compliment! We traveled to NYC just last November (Ayo lived there for years). We are both glad you will following us and our journey. Akwaaba!💕
The spicy food makes us strong.😁😁😁especially to be xtream strong.💪
If your nose doesn't run a little, then it wasn't spicy enough, get some shito!
The spicy food, while delicious, makes me something else, but strong isn’t it. Lol
Love this video you make us Ghanaians living in the diaspora proud and wanna go back home already...

Hi I’m glad I found your channel. Today is 3/10/2021. So, when are you moving to Ghana? Have you moved already? I live in California and am visiting Africa soon Lord willing. I love your family.
Awesome @Merci4u! Thanks for subbing and welcome to Expat Life ❤️️! We actually moved to Ghana September 2020.

lol! You think so? I guess we all should have seen before 😉!
Forreal!!!
Such a beautiful family - just stumbled upon this channel and enjoying the content.
Lil Man is so adorable. Got his mom's skin tone and his father's eyes.
The driving bit makes me laugh 😆 so true
See... Tony is a true Ghanaian and loves driving there!
The man is looking like my dad ..I'm Ghanaian n I agree with everything u said..
Awesome! I'm glad we were right on with our top ten! and you made me laugh about looking like your dad
Greetings from Maryland, USA!
Hey Maryland... how you holding up out there? Dreamin' of Ghana life?
The food
The culture
The ocean
The weather
if only I knew someone there trust worthy I would visit.
Yes you can
You don’t have any problems!
If you really want to go I’ll connect you with my family in Accra although I’m now in Japan.
Africa is for us!

Talking about the driving was hilarious 😂
I love how there is a horn for every scenario, (get a move on, thanks, call a street vendor,) shopping in traffic. Mad!
Right?! So funny... We need a video on honking while driving in Ghana, lol
I am a new subscriber! Love your videos! I am a Ghanaian in the UK will also be coming back. Uncle you do look like a typical Ghanaian man. Blessings to you two Deborah x
Welcome and thanks for subbing!
We can't wait for you to get back home... and when you see Tony call him uncle. He will love that ❤️️!
Expat Life Ghana thanks 🙏 I will remember to call him uncle
I want to go to The Gambia and Tanzania but I feel like I cannot go to Africa without going to Ghana first. The history, our history, my history. I feel like it has to start there for me.
You've got that right @Terra! You have to get to Ghana... it is where so many of our stories pivoted resulting in our current condition. Thanks for commenting ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!
I have watched both of your videos and really like the contents you’ve produced. I am a Ghanaian residing in the uk and I can relate to almost every single thing you have mentioned in your videos. Most important I’m really excited to see our African brothers and sisters coming back to Africa not as tourists but making it a home and that means a lot of. If you live in the uk,us or any European or western countries then you know what I’m talking about. This is the change Africa really needs right now in the 21st Century. Welcome home and thanks for producing this great contents. Please keep them coming and we love you all...😎
Aww... @S A. - Thanks for the love ❤️️! We hope you will also be called to Ghana soon to be your home again.
You're the first person to ever love the driving in Ghana. Though seems reckless and chaotic, rate of accident is quite low cos drivers here thoroughly know the system.
One of the best Ghana video. 😙
Ha! No one ever says the love the driving, right? Thanks for the shout out and welcome!
You're always welcome, Ghana is indeed a beautiful place to be.
It really is! Thank you!
Being more natural products is what I like about Africa. That must be the reason Africans have such Beautiful skin complexions. I Pray you all have a very Blessed and happy life in Ghana.
Ghanaian people are incredibly generous, lovely people.
We really enjoyed Ghana when we visited with our 2 year old son some years ago. We could have made this list ourselves! You are spot on. I think what I loved best was the super fresh food but till this day we chuckle about the "ramble" strips (rumble strips, i.e speed control devices, but said with a Ghanaian accent) that made our son giggle with delight every time we rolled over them.
Aww @originalwombman... what sweet memories of Ghana. That is the part we love too... the sense of togetherness and moments of delight in the small things. Thank you so much for the comment and for making me smile ❤️️😊❤️️
@Expat Life Ghana.....you guys should link up with Wode Maya
#LifeGoals ❤️️ We would love that! In the meantime, keep watching
You guys are Ghanaians so don't worry yourselves. U are always welcome home.
Aww... Thanks. We have always felt welcomed and well received in Ghana. Thank you for the well wishes ❤️️!
Yeah the people they love you
Your son Luke is adorable 😍
Aww... @Elena Arman-Tang - Thanks for the love ❤️️!
I appreciate this video. You are a lovely couple and Luke is cute. We are Africans and need to visually experience our history, culture and foods. Relish the slower pace ; it's better for you. You are right less processed food is much better for you. The welcoming of the Ghanian people is the most comforting to me because you feel that you belong and are finally coming home. Great video.
Well said @Veronica Purcell! Thank you for your comment! ❤️️👍😊
Their child is so amazing and already is a world traveler
Your son is so bless to experience this. God bless your family.
Yes, thank you @Denice Rohadfox - and thanks for the comment 😊!

I'm not gonna lie ppl being havin so much fun on the beach in ghana compared the beaches over here in the U.S. because when you go to some of these ghana beaches they have food, they are playing music you see alot of ppl having fun compared to the beaches you go to in the U.S. where everybody is just sitting down at the beach and watching other ppl swim and looking bored 😂😂🤣
Haha! The beaches have a lot to offer in Ghana and that is why we love being in the coastal regions so much. 🏖💕 Great point Abby!
Omg so true, I played music at the beach in the US and people loose their minds lol. Can’t wait to be back to Ghana
@@usmcmustang01 🤣🤣🤣
I know people want to talk positively about Ghana, but the beaches are dirty and polluted. It really saddened me. I would be afraid to get in that water. I had a hard time sitting and eating at a restaurant on the beach because it was so dirty. There is so much potential.
@@southsideschooloffinancial4059 😂😂 you can't go to any Beach at all you gotta go to a reserved spot for swimming
Pollution is a problem everywhere in Africa
Thanks for doing both the hate and love videos of Ghana.
@charles goodwin - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
Ok i am sold.........ghana here i come
Wow! This reminds me of when I lived in the UAE, working as a teacher. I did NOT drive because it was crazy! It was like, move B, get out the way! Get out the way!..... LOL! Insanity on the road but I had friends that could handle that type of driving. The people were nice, it was safe and I had every amenity. I've been watching Ghana, videos like this help encourage my thoughts of visiting.
Sang the song as I was reading and, yup, that's what it's like @Luxe Life! We are glad we're inspiring you 😊! See you in Ghana soon ❤️️!
We appreciate this and your criticisms as well.love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Aww... @Ajo Vie - Thanks for the shout out ❤️️!
Tank you Ghana people i am french from Guadeloupe i should go and feel WHAT you explain tank you
Great comment - Thanks for adding to the conversation ❤️️💛💚!
I've been considering this for years. I think I'm no longer mad with Ghana for rejecting me in undergrad to study abroad for a year. That hurt my feelings Ghana lol😂. I was a straight A and B+ student.... Then the UK accepted me and I got to study there for a year. I'm over it now and always wanted to visit. Will look at planning something for next year.
I'm told that I have Ghanaian in my blood. I live in California and get stopped all the time of people asking me if I'm Ghanian. I simply say no....born and raised in Los Angeles, but may have to look further in that.

@Toi Nichelle - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
Yes! The natural food.. such a difference even the soda in all the great natural tasting favors. No corn syrup. I actually feel better at the end of a trip. By the way. I am speaking of Malowi. But everything you mentioned about Ghana 🇬🇭 in your videos sounds same. Only Ghana may be a little more developed. Lol the fresh chickens on the bikes. The goat heads at the street stands. The cows, chickens, Goats, and other animals taking there time to cross the street. But i love it.
@Melanie Jackson - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
New Subbie, watched your interview with Iyy Prosper, I love your energies.. I left Ghana 33 yrs ago and I am transitioning back home too, There is so much to bring back to our people and there is such potential in them..THe time for AFRICA/Ghana is now....
Thanks for subbing! And YES to everything you said! I hope you feel empowered to transition back and make Ghana home again. Have you always known you wanted to go back? Or are you drawn by the possibilities there now?
Anyway, hope to see you Ghana-side soon ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!
