I was born in America but my parents are both Nigerian and one of the most amazing things that I love about this video is that she came to Ghana humble but also able to accept to work with Ghanaians to help build homes for others and share her western experience with them. Just because a lot of parts of Ghana or many African communities are poor it doesn't mean they have to stay that way. I am so happy to hear about these smooth paved roads, electricity and solar energy. It is desperately needed. It warms my soul to see Africans and Black Americans working together because that means to me that Africa is less likely to be exploited the way they have been in the past. This is so powerful and I think keeping prices low for Black Americans to make that transition slowly is key. Thank you for this. ❤

Meaning no offense, but the word Diaspora is reserved only for use of the Jewish Diaspora; Webster's New World Dictionary says to capitalize Diaspora only for "the dispersion of the Jews after the Babylonian exile" and for "the Jews thus dispersed." It says to use lower case diaspora for "any other scattering of people with a common origin, background, beliefs, etc."

OMG! You look fabulous! This was awesome! I am so pleased with this great informational clip. I am not happy to learn that I have missed out on a better price on land and getting my home built, but I am extremely thankful for my sister sharing her journey. I have started the planning process and praying to be there soon. Great job sisters! 😊

[@MsGreatTest]

I remember when they were offering free land, but I was skeptical. Glad to see it was true.

[@SippingTea2x]

I love her story and her purpose for leaving bc I feel the same way❤ my family is African American & I believe Africa is the best destination for us to heal our generation trauma that USA has been bestowed on us✊🏾

I came across this interview by chance this morning, and it make my day. It is my good cup of tea. I learn a lot of lesson from the interview. This is GREAT, I cried sometimes so emotional. Too many good things to say

[@edwinaevans7546]

I visit Ghana in 2022 and stayed 17 days. It is beautiful and you do feel at peace. You don't need a bunch of money saved up, you need to have reoccuring monthly income coming in, such as retirement

[@BrettThompson-zp5bs]

sounds so nice! what if i took around 400 -500 thousand USD, would i still need recurring monthly income?

[@Celebritynews16]

@@BrettThompson-zp5bsI’m not from Ghana but I’m pretty sure you can live a decent life with 2% income from that. Actually more than decent. I’m not sure if Nigeria is more expensive than Ghana, but I spend less than 10k usd a year, including rent in one of the most expensive parts of Lagos and yearly vacation to London. And I don’t struggle. You’ll live WELL in Ghana on 500k. WELL. Good luck 👍

you can always feel free to move to Kenya. it's peaceful, diverse, modern, closer to Ethiopia and above all Ethiopians are like brothers and sisters to us Kenyans 😁😁

I am happy that she was able to fulfill her dreams. A lot of Americans retire elsewhere for cost and to have different experiences. It's too bad some Americans can't feel at home in their own country due to skin color. She found the truth. In Africa she is the same person she is in America. I agree she has built a very desirable place for her future and her family to enjoy.

[@Greg-xi7ug]

That’s a lie actually people are lazy because taking care of old people is a lot of work and pain

Back in Uganda,my grandma got a really big house,front/back yard n garden. Its pretty big. Must’ve been way cheaper then $70k tho. Respect to Ms Karen, nice home. I been telling my black friends that Africa is where its at. Trips to Uganda (East Africa) is really long. Bout 18hours or less but that aside, It’s fun to live. No tension like over here in the states. Its all love back in the motherland ✊🏿💯🇺🇬🫶🏾

She is SO beautiful and blessed. You can tell that she was truly divinely guided back home. I'm watching this just thinking about how one day, one of her great great great grandchildren will be back in Africa, maybe even on this property telling their grandmother's story. She is already blessing her lineage 10-fold. Thanks SO much for sharing...beautiful and inspiring.

I love this woman’s free spirit. She seems to be very grounded and relaxed. Too bad she doesn’t have enough plants in the space. I’m suggesting that she adds garden beds and boxes made of concrete to in the yard be able to grow flowers and other greenery. It’ll help with cooling during the hot weather ❤

[@susanarsoniadou]

Plants are no problem. This is very nice...

[@taliahh25]

Yes, I agree about the plants. I love the house, but the color is missing from the scenery. Perhaps she'll get to it later down the line.
