Marcus Garvey once said “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots” The torture, sacrifice and brutality our ancestors endured wasn’t because they were strong,Mrs Crystal one of the first returnees to Ghana through the door of return didn’t starve herself and had all her teeth removed simply because she wanted it but she had a vision where all Africans can someday make that decision to come back home, to their culture,their names and regain their identity.
As as a guide i think before you only truly understand a country if you get in touch with its past. So join me on my mission to tell the untold stories whiles you uncover the beautiful towns and architecture from the past
