Thank you for thinking about your africans ancestors and coming to visit africa. You must Come to senegal to visit dakar and Goree. Most african américain Come from senegal

[@Patriot63677]

Good evening beautiful African people. Home of the brave and the Land of freedom. I come to you with love, respect and peace (Shalom) and may the ancestral spirits keep the continent brave and strong. It's the year of return and we welcome our brothers and sisters with open arms " AKWAABA" welcome. We are who we are and no one can take our very being from us as black people. The ancestors are guiding us back home and this is a spiritual time in the lives of the black race. Let us in humility turn our heads back home (SANKOFA) to build for us as there is no place that we can call home than to be AMONG your very own. They can call us names but we know who we are. We are black people and we are proud of our heritage.

[@Mo_Daze]

Man tbh I won’t even say I’m “American” by choice. They were FORCED to be here. My ancestors went through something that just BREAKS my HEART ohhh sooo much💔💔 and we lost our culture entirely!! it is an honor to get to go back HOME and our ancestors would be proud of us. And my people (the women) have such a BEAUTIFUL body and shape and my people are good looking in the face too! When the melanin pops it’s everything!!!

[@k.h.1756]

yes it was terrible but we must forgive them and let go of any hatred in our hearts. God uses people to punish his people for being disobedient and stiff necked.

One year of return is not enough the project could be renamed the Years of Return or Returning to your Abode . Love to see want the next phase is after this year is up.

[@CurtisAhenkan]

Dear, around this time each year, there's a festival held in Ghana for Africans in the diaspora; it is called PANAFEST. Blacks from ALL over the world visit to partake, maybe you should try it someday. THE YEAR OF RETURN is only an initiative by the government of Ghana to commemorate exactly 400 years since the first slave ship landed on our shores. It's our wish that our brothers and sisters in the diaspora could make a symbolic return to the Motherland this year and hopefully bond with the natives and if possible consider moving to settle permanently. That's the thinking behind the Year of Return

I've been there more than once but I'm looking towards next year. Hopefully it will be more affordable then. Because it was the year of return, the cost skyrocketed. Whatever gave you a reason to go , I'm glad you went. My 1st trip to Ghana was in 2012. I love Ghana.

[@LuckyLucky-xp2sz]

Yes Danny has been coming to Ghana since the 90s when we had PANAFEST and EMANCIPATION DAY. The idea of the "year of return" is NOT NEW. The difference is that we have a man from a tribe that makes noise about the little achievements and plus the internet is helping too. Nothing new here. Nothing nothing new.

Thank you Vanessa for an informative video. Will you please watch that video and notice that a lady in a red dress hit a child in the head with her fist several times and he cried and fell down to the ground. Then a man went and hugged him and comforted the child. Can you tell me the name of that school and the child and the man that helped him? I would like to help the child when I go to Ghana in 2020

[@joycecooper498]

Were the 2 adults school teachers there?

This was not a school it was just a local community and I believe the adult that reprimanded him was his mother

It Reminds me of the Hawaiian leis which was only given to large groups of people when I was stationed there. When I arrived there I didn't get one. I've been to Ghana more than once and never got one. They're giving them to you because it's a special celebration. It's not something that's usually give to tourists. As a matter of fact I've never seen one.
