Wow, this is so wonderful. I am a born Guyanese (South American), relocated to NY and grew up there, then moved to Atlanta i 1992. I am now building my connection with the Ghana Association of Georgia, and will be at Ghana Day this Saturday 8/14, invited by an official of the Ghana Association. I was at the Ghana Independence Gala in 2018 and 2019 prior to the lock down in 2020. It is amazing to hear her story. Also ironic, I am currently working with Operation HOPE, leveraging their members for workshop facilitation and guidance.

Maybe in the 80's or 90's but I believe the narrative has changed recently, with Black Panther as silly as it seems being a watershed moment.

[@omggiiirl2077]

I was just weeping about this the other day. It became so overwhelming. Especially for Black Women, we face so much evil here in America. I would love to relocate to Lagos, Accra even Nairobi but my family and those obligations tie me down. This is why I am teaching my children now to prepare because there will come a day where living here in America will just become unlovable due to the expense and terror. We must prepare our children now so they can make the change and come home. And part of that is encouraging our kids to marry African and build lives in Africa. I am a Black American but I KNOW most of my ancestry, and my Fathers side is mostly Yoruba with ties all over Africa. I have more love for my Africa, than this "shit hole" called America. It's why I cook both Nigerian and Ghanaian style food and have my babies get a taste for the food, and be comfortable with the culture. All I know is I want to return and I want my family to continue in a place where they will be accepted and not hinder them because thier skin is brown.

Well done girl your story shows that when Black people start linking up as one people helping and nurturing one another to move Africa forward. You need self confidence first of all to accept who you are. Do your research and you will find out the brainwash you have been subjected to and all the lies about Africa. Visit and see Africa and experience the shock of a different culture of love and friendship and family. I am not saying you will not have challenges but you soon learn to adapt and fit in. The the plunge and try you may find out it is the best decision you have ever made. You you certainly experience friendship, pleasant weather natural, wholesome good food and less stress but plan well, be adaptable and willing to persevere. God bless you young lady, keep up the job of mentoring others who are still not sure of accepting their Africanness. Let's hope it will not be too late for them.

Sadly we have bought into the oppressor's rhetoric that some of us are better than others. Conversation like this need never be.
