As a Jamaican am so proud of your decision to live in the motherland Ghana very peaceful i heard my brother went there and he loved it there.

[@pennyw6585]

My heart surged with pride when the children first spoke. They are thoughtful and incredibly articulate which is a tribute to the efforts of their parents. I sense that the family is a confident and secure unit and I look forward to hearing more about their success. The Rwanda cleanup effort is transferable, one neighborhood at at time. On our street, we have improved the roadway by banding together as neighbours. We can improve sanitation as well. Let us all make Ghana the place we want it to be neighborhood by neighborhood, instead of complaining about its shortcomings.

Reparations for me would be having the USA send me to Accra and supporting me for the rest of my life. I am over 85 years. I have been retired for 23 years and cannot afford to move out of the USA although I have never felt that I belonged here. This story is so uplifting that I have watched it more than once and will watch it again. It is so heartwarming 💕. They are blessed and a blessing in that they are an inspiration even for those of us who cannot leave. I have never believed the lies told about Africa. What I find interesting is that a white country called Israel, inhabited by Israelis, not Israelites, is in Africa. I can't say anything about that without getting lambasted.

Good job Mom and Dad. Yes, Africa has always been portrayed in a negative way. I have learned so much from young KZbinrs how people really live. Great interview. I have spent most of my life in Canada and I feel honoured when I go to the Caribbean and my friend's children who are in their thirties plus call me Auntie. No one calls me by my first name. It is either Miss __ or auntie. They respect us and we have to respect them in return. When will the oppression and exploitation end.

These interviews are as refreshing as they are essential to Ghana 🇬🇭 and Africa as a whole. The insidious nature of the lies that have been told, coupled with the continued perpetuation of the negative stereotypes about Mother Africa have done us mental damage to the extent that it has helped to drain Africa and her descendants emotionally, socially and most importantly economically.
