    In the mid-1950s, there began a new era in which African Americans began to migrate to Ghana as a result of its independence. African Americans, especially civil rights activists such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Julian Bond, went to Ghana to aid the country's development and escape the racism of the United States.
    In this video, I share the story of Rush, who relocated from America to Ghana after being in the USA for so long.
    He built his 4 bedroom home while still living in America. He is currently running a number of businesses in Ghana and lives here with his wife.
    In this video we discuss what it takes to move to Ghana, what he did to build a home, some of the challenges he has been through all while settling in Ghana.
    We also get to do a tour of his beautiful Ghana home.

    The journey of those from the Diaspora that choose to return to Africa is very inspirational and gives a sense of pride and longing to some of us viewing these individuals taking that leap! The Diaspora however isn't only African Americans or Canadians..I've travelled extensively and met African descendants everywhere on this planet..I've encountered African descendants that was born in places like India, China, Europe, the Caribbean and even Scandinavian countries..
    It would be fantastic if you highlight people of the Diaspora from those countries who decided to return to Africa as well.. Maybe! Their journey might encourage others to take that leap as well..

    • @africanglobalnomad
      @africanglobalnomad Před rokem +2

      Actually a lot of Caribbean success videos are plenty on various channels! Majority of the African diaspora from the USA 🇺🇸 in Africa are of Caribbean immigrants or first generation. That said, agree with you. If you watch migrants around the globe it’s usually the middle class so those in countries you highlight might not have the resources to do so. I am pretty sure these CZcamsrs are not colluding/refusing to interview them 😂 and opting for those from the west

    I like the body language when he was asked "when he came back from America who did he move back with?"
    He was moving himself further from the interviewer as he was talking about his wife.
    Interesting, because it show much respect he has for his wife and family..

    Jazz has made quite an investment in herself...very much exposed.I enjoy her channel a lot . Very creative and original. If even 50% of Ghanaian population is this sound...we need to raise the level...Education is the way

      @Yaw Asamoah When you say education, what do you mean? There are many graduates who are trekking looking for employment or sititng at home unemployed. For a lot of people, education has trained them to look for employment instead of creating opportunities. The key is to FIND OPPORTUNITIES , find CAPITAL and set up different REVENUE STREAMS.
