My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.

[@Kenetto1]

Appreciated those diasporians coming back to invest.

[@Raphael-Mawuli]

Top notch video! Simple and straight to the point that the diasporans ought to be realistic and start small and move up the ladder 🪜 in entrepreneurship. The fact that the majority of the diaspora relocating to Ghana or Africa forget that they're employees prior to relocation and to jump in to start a manufacturing business or big things might be prone to a failure. Then they will blame Ghana or Africa for everything. Kudos to Nana for keeping it real! I will pass by the shop to support your initiative of the Big Shop. Respect!

You can't go wrong with provision shop in Ghana, the smoothie and pie looks yummy 😋 😍

[@JasmineAmaa]

It was really good ❤

[@evejs3052]

It's so rare to find someone who is so open and honest about their business. This has really inspired me to make a move on my beauty shop. Thanks so much for sharing

[@JasmineAmaa]

Aww so happy to hear ❤️

[@SWiseman]

You are a very good interviewer. You ask all the pertinent questions. Looking forward to more small business content.

[@JasmineAmaa]

More to come ❤

[@YawAsafo]

Made in Ghana products are so important, especially with this super inflation in Ghana now. Unfortunately, the mindset of many is not that nationalistic. Congratulations🥳and you'll will be very successful, indeed.

[@g.reneegilmore390]

Jasmine I enjoyed this vlog. The transparency of how the difficulties are to actual relocate to Ghana and not suffer hardship is very much appreciated. Keep authentic content flowing. Sending lots of positivity & prosperity your way from Charleston SC (USA).

[@JasmineAmaa]

Thanks so much ❤❤

[@hortenseclarke2589]

She is so pleasant! I like her personality and approach. She is not targeting people with lots of money, but rather everybody. She is very down-to-earth and practical, and that's some of the quality for success. And I like her presentation; everything is nicely setup. I wish her all the best. May God Bless Ghana and Africa 🌍.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Thanks so much x

[@trzagor2769]

If you can strategically arrange a process of tranporting banana, gnam, chili etc from the country side into Accra, you will be choked not only by the size of the profit but the size of the business awaiting.

[@KenyattaGross]

I grew up in a small east texas town in the 70s and I’ve seem business models such as this work very well.

[@bennygati324]

[@JasmineAmaa]

So lovely to hear ❤️❤️

[@omlive7867]

Jasmine and Nana thank you for the honesr review, Thanks for not glossing over the problems that people face when setting up business especially with government registrations and departments. The more people talk about this and not shy away, we can start finding solutions. Kudos and blessings to both of you❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍.

Your welcome x

[@ommanipadmehung3014]

What a great story! A lot of people from diaspora don't feel at home in the western countries they have been born in. The blessi g of the western countries is the education system and some of the systems, but the quality of life is very uptight and uninspiring

[@JasmineAmaa]

So true

Thanks so much ❤

To move to a new place, start a business and life, really takes courage. It has worked out so far for the ladies that you have featured. It may be challenging but it’s not impossible!

[@JasmineAmaa]

Definitely not impossible ❤️

She doesn't sound like a New Yorker - at all. Also, I've often wondered about the tax situation in Africa (Ghana) for businesses and for individuals. This was helpful.

[@amenuvevedelalorm2412]

She wasn’t born in America so that would explain her accent.

[@vida7993]

How does New Yorkers sound.

[@DestinationSokeye]

I am interested in franchise opportunities with her business

[@yahosephbenyisrael917]

Hey Queen Jasmine

[@JasmineAmaa]

Hello ❤

[@ghnativeukslave]

THIS WOULDNT BE A PROFITABLE BUSINESS IF SHE DOESNT MAKE 50% OF THE PRODUCT HERSELF. IT IS EVEN BETTER TO MAKE A PRODUCTION OF YOUR OWN PRODUCT AND WHOLESALE IT TO THE MASS. WHIVH MEANS YOUR SHOP WILL BE THE PLACE THEY WILL COME AND BUY IT BULKY TO RETAILERS. BEEN THERE NOT A PROFITABLE THING.
