Akwaaba - Welcome

I arrived in Accra, Ghana on May 11 and instantly felt a connection. I was greeted by the natives with, "Akwaaba my Sistah" as I stepped off the plane. As I stepped onto the soil, I felt a spiritual link to all that had been stolen from my people. The birthplace of civilization - Africa - welcomed me back with open arms with no exception and no conditions. I hope to seize each moment of every experience that I will have in Ghana. I welcome you to join me on this journey of not only learning about a new culture and a new country but also learning about myself. I will share with you some short journals, lots of pictures, videos, and songs in hopes to capture the true essence of this trip, this country, this moment in time. Here are a few pictures from the first few days.

This is the sign that you see once you exit the airport!
