- Join Brandon Rogers on an inspiring journey from the confines of a cubicle in Orlando to the vibrant landscapes of Ghana. In this heartfelt talk, Brandon shares his story of seeking fulfillment beyond the traditional path laid out before him. Graduating from FAMU and stepping into the architectural world, he quickly realized that his passion wasn’t confined to the office spaces of Florida. A trip to Ghana in 2006 marked the beginning of an extraordinary adventure, shifting from designing apartment complexes to pioneering sustainable, eco-friendly architecture in Africa.
Discover how Brandon embraced the challenges of building with basic tools, creating simple yet impactful designs, and learning the true value of money as a tool for change. Hear about his venture into rural development, aiming to counteract urban migration by revitalizing villages with sustainable housing and community projects. Brandon’s story is not just about architecture; it’s a deeper narrative on the power of community, the struggle for sustainability, and the quest for a fulfilling life away from home.
As we navigate through Brandon’s experiences, from initial experiments in architecture to his insights on investment and development, this documentary sheds light on the complexities and rewards of building a new life in Ghana. It’s a tale of personal growth, professional evolution, and the ongoing pursuit of building not just houses, but homes for communities that thrive together.
Through isolation, learning, and a continuous push towards sustainable development, Brandon’s journey is a testament to the impact one individual can have on the lives of many. This video is not just for architects or expatriates; it’s for anyone dreaming of a life beyond the borders of their birthplace, looking to make a difference in the world.

The colonial British leasehold system:
Is that what Ghana is using for the land ownership?
Is that what is causing the problems with land ownership in Ghana?
I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on that issue.
Thanks
Yes, this is exactly what it is!
@@EcotalkwithBrandonwhy are you no longer in any Migrating Culture videos?
@@dadoboye1536Unfortunately, I've faced some challenges with regard to business partnership disputes and have sought legal resolution.
@@EcotalkwithBrandon …I’m so sorry to hear that. I really hope you settle it amicably for the good of all returning diasporans. I’m a civil engineer and will definitely reach out to you when I come back to Ghana.
@@EcotalkwithBrandon what’s your email?
Very insightful. I see why Amazon is able to build a ware house 10 football 🏈 fields in a week.
Use a money as a tool as a carpenter uses his hammer as a tool. I get it.
Nice picture behind you.
How come I don’t see you with Eric anymore, sorry I’m just a fan of your project at migrating culture and all of a sudden you were no where to be found?🤷🏿♂️
