I RETIRED FROM THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND BUILT MY HOME IN GHANA ON A FARM
It is estimated that at least 1,500 African Americans have moved to Ghana since 2019.
Ghana has been encouraging African Americans to move to the West African nation since 2019, urging them to connect with their African roots through the year of return initiative. The cost of living is substantially lower than in many major U.S. cities. The weather is also warm year-round. In this video, I interview Calvin who retired from the US government and has now built his home in Ghana.

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 and other parts of Africa, from the food, to the culture, to the lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and other African countries.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.

As a Jamaican raised in Washington DC, I'm also building apartments for rent in Nsawam, just 20 minutes drive to ACCRA, your videos are inspiring a lot of us, I recently purchased 25 acres for a poultry farm. When everything is done I will invite you to show it to the world. Thank you so much for sharing

[@Reillook]

Well hello!👋🏿 I guess, I need to place your information down as well and get started. I need all my options because the exit from this land for myself, is real! By the way, I am from DC as well... Still here.

[@imasummergirl]

My dream is to move to Africa as well. Can you also let me know about your information?

[@selinab.8611]

Where in Nsawam please ?

[@ajaniwilliams6257]

👏🏿🇯🇲

[@ajaniwilliams6257]

Very good to see this brother return home - I would encourage him that whatever foods he plants from the US that he ensure it’s Non GMO and organic or get seeds from the EU (France/Italy) who ban most of not all GMO - we must protect the soil - good video Jas

[@TheWatchmanPost]

I'm Ghanaian. Lived and work in U.S. for nine yrs. Now, I've been back in Ghana 11yrs now. Living and running my own business. When you live in America and return to Ghana, all you see is opportunities. It's kind of like you don't see how we're blessed here till you've been to the U.S. and back!!! I can't Wait to go on my own farming adventure. I love farming and living with nature. ❤❤❤😊

[@DoubleFeat]

This is my guy. Exactly what happened to me after 7yrs in America, I visited Nigeria and my eyes opened to so many business opportunities.

[@orlindomachengo8216]

Why other native africans can' t see those opportunities😂😂😂😂

[@johnsonolajide4647]

Because of lacks exposure ​@@orlindomachengo8216

[@SHAI-HILLS]

Yes indeed

[@SHAI-HILLS]

Thank you for visiting my farm

[@JasmineAmaa]

It was lovely to meet you Calvin 🥰

[@ronaldchatman9144]

Hey Calvin, my wife and I have a pig farm not to far from you. We should set up a time to visit. We are both US Army veterans living in Ghana 🇬🇭

[@SHAI-HILLS]

@@ronaldchatman9144 you're welcome to visit

[@Ms504babygirl]

I would love it visit

[@hilo25]

I followed my bliss and moved to Ghana in August!! Im opening a restaurant/cafe in East Legon!! Hope to meet you soon

[@JasmineAmaa]

That’s lovely

[@kerawoc]

what’s the name of your restaurant?

[@hahaha70263]

Damn! The natural scenery is beautiful, especially the greenery on the mountain. Another Afro descendant of the Americas is living the dream... Living my dream. I wish Calvin well in his endeavours.

[@JasmineAmaa]

It so stunning and peaceful 🥰

[@SHAI-HILLS]

Thank you

[@SHAI-HILLS]

@@user-wu7sk4rl4z that has been addressed. The buffer zone is 1/2 mile.

[@SHAI-HILLS]

@user-wu7sk4rl4z there is houses throughout the area on the mountain and below

[@ronaldchatman9144]

Hey Calvin, I messaged you on your website and haven't gotten a response. Where are you located? Are you close to the entrance to the Shai hills reserve?

[@suntanglory]

l wish him well.lt's a shame most of us Africans cant wait to leave Africa but these guys are seeing the opportunity and peace we are leaving behind and are investing heavily in it.There are millions of places like this laying fallow everywhere in Africa..The grass is not always greener on the other side,let us make the best of what is in our backyard..Looking radiant Jas.❤❤Cheers.

[@JasmineAmaa]

So true and thank u 🥰

[@stanleyglover5534]

@suntanglory Most leaving Africa may have a genuine reason,they need a pathway to livelihood, their countries and governments provide none of that, they need the seeding that is necessary to start .

[@kelleymunnerlyn7110]

I know right!

[@SHAI-HILLS]

I agree with your assessment.

[@mavisburke495]

​@@stanleyglover5534Government everywhere creat few jobs it's the private sectors that offers the most employment.

[@BeautyByohemaa]

I love my country rich country just poorly managed by our leaders . Once u have the opportunity to travel do and don’t forget to do something back home … it only gets better when you have the money to do great things back home and don’t forget to move back to enjoy your property in your retirement probably earlier life is soo short 😅

[@loveeritreapeaceeritrea9847]

My brother Living Like Heaven My Brother need stop discrimination ni Africa Africa people need stand up to say Africa people first and sister its your country go to stop Indian restaurants close 👍👍👍

[@JasNakira-bs5nx]

That's crazy that an Indian restaurant had that type of sign in Ghana! I'm African American and have visited Ghana and I really liked my time there. I love my life in the US however I will definitely be back to visit again.

[@JasmineAmaa]

So good to hear. I know i was shocked about that too..

[@minwillis2]

I am so inspired by Calvin’s story, and I want to visit his farm.

[@SHAI-HILLS]

Contact me when you are ready to visit

[@user-er3qz2jf4h]

Great content, greetings from Kenya. Ghana we love you.❤

[@JasmineAmaa]

Aw 🙏🏾❤️

[@user-mx5hp6bf2i]

I looooooved the interview with this guy. He is so right about tribalism in Africa and his mindset on how to treat his employees. We rather be panafricanists. I personally don't understand how in Africa we accept to be mistreated. This is hands down one of the best interviews in your channel. By the way is farm is good project and that mountain as a backgound? Amazing! I hope it's going to be preserved. I've really enjoyed this vlog.

[@SHAI-HILLS]

My operation will not effect the mountainside

[@annprice2391]

I love this!! Would love to retire there as well. From upstate NY so did a lot of farming!

[@hugohugo5248]

On the topic of the Indian restaurant Jasmin, I expect a clear opinion and discussion from you on such a topic. „Wow interesting is not enough“ Nice Video like usually ❤
