- In this video, Coriya takes 17 of her friends from the United States on an unbelievable adventure to Ghana.
This video is a journey not to be missed! From the gorgeous countryside to the vibrant cities, this video will give you a glimpse into the amazing cultures and people of Ghana. If you're ever in this part of the world, be sure to add this video to your list of must-see attractions!
Prepare to Be Amazed! Join us on an Incredible Journey to the Heart of Africa! 🌍
Coriya Burns Falker is a Senior Media Specialist at Radio One Atlanta. She recently brought 17 of her friends from America to experience the continent, Ghana to be precise. You won't believe what just went down when she decided to take 17 of her closest friends on an unforgettable expedition to the enchanting continent of Africa! 🎉
The adventure began with a bang in the bustling streets of Accra, where they explored the rich tapestry of history and culture that makes Ghana so incredible. From the vibrant chaos of Makola Market to the poignant tales whispered by the winds of James Town Fishing & Historical Community, every step was like stepping into a different world. 🏙️
But that was just the beginning! Their pause at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park & Mausoleum had them reflecting on the giants who paved the way for Ghana's independence, leaving them in awe. 🙌
As they ventured further, the haunting beauty of Cape Coast and Elmina Castle reminded them of the dark chapters in history. Standing as sentinels by the sea, these historical sites had us grappling with the painful legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. 😢
They also paid their respects at the Assin Manso slave river, where the weight of history felt overwhelming. 🌊
In Suhum, Ghana, their adventure took a sweet turn as we delved into the world of chocolate at FAIR AFRIQ! 🍫 From raw cocoa beans to the velvety delight of chocolate, they witnessed nature's magic unfolding before their eyes. It was like stepping into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, but better! 😋
And trust me, there were so many more jaw-dropping experiences they had along the way that you won't want to miss! From heartwarming encounters with locals to mouthwatering food experiences, this journey was a rollercoaster of emotions and flavors. 🥘

As a Jamaican raised Washington DC. I visited Ghana 7 times, my first visit Ghana was 2016. The first time I went to Cape Coast and Elmina Dangeon and the slave river, I cried like a baby. 2 years later i purchased 4 acres of land Aburi mountains started building my 28 apartment for rent, why? Because I want to spend the rest my life with future family in Ghana so I married a beautiful Ghanaian lady in 2020. We have 2 kids. I can't be there 3rd week of November this year. Long live MAMA AFRICA and all black people around the world 🌍

beautiful and inspiring
My hometown Aburi is the cool place for habitation indeed! Encompassed with true nature n that serenity , oh my God!
Do you have a TH-cam channel?
Aburi mountains is beautiful.⛰️👏🏽
All African countries is a place to be, I'm about to visit ghana by God's power from Lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬
Yes but there are many things like security , safety, peace etc to consider.
Beautiful 😍
@roynique5218 I've never had an issue with safety in Ghana even walking in the evenings I've felt safe. I'm cautious yes but I feel safer there than in the US
Ghanaians are honest, hard working, caring, very motivated and peace loving people. In Nigeria, our organist at church was a Ghanaian, my Surgery professor was a Ghanaian, I have worked with male and female Ghanaian nurses, my colleague at the post graduate school of Public Health in the USA was a Ghanaian. I have always felt that strong bond whenever I met a Ghanaian. I cannot say enough good things about Ghanaians even though they prefer Ghanaian jollof to Nigeria jollof. I pray they continue to have good governance.
🥰
Ghana is not a country, it's home❤
That's right
A Nigerian, I look at Ghana and think Ghanaians don’t know how lucky they’ve been for decades. They’ve had some of their best and well educated as leaders, from Oxford educated Bussia to Mills to Mahama to Kuffour to Addo. You should see Airport Residential, East Legon and Lebune. Good places for African Americans to retire.
thanks
We love you guys too, our brothers from another mother.
Long Live Mama Africa 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Welcoming the diaspora Blacks not only SIGNIFICANTLY improves the economy, but it allows us to introduce skills, equipment, materials, and resources to assist with development. We'll have a greater impact in Ghana as opposed to being another groups' stepping stone to upward mobility in the West
You're free to exclude the last one...🤣
You're right. But for Addo? He's a curse, a demon Ghana has ever had.
Am so touché to see our brothers and sisters 😢 coming back home , love ❤ from Nigeria 🇳🇬
thank you!
As a Nigeria 🇳🇬 I am happy 😊 welcome back my brothers and sisters ❤️
thank you!
The peace and calm is unmatched!!! You will only understand when you live abroad! Ghana 🇬🇭 is special to me regardless of where am at or find myself in this world
the peace and joy yes yes I love it!
Am a Ghanaian and am learning a lot by watching this .a lot of things I never knew
I should say 90% of Ghanaians are ignorant about what really happened in the past that's why most of them see diasporas as strangers but it shouldn't be so. They're our families
Am just crying throughout I can't hold my tears the story of blacks people are seriously emotional in terms of the dangerous slave trade ... oooo my God bring back our virtue of liberty; and let love lead
As a Black American. I admit that I never had the desire to travel to Africa. This video changed that ❤ . So Thank you for sharing with me. Teaching me. I now understand a lot more. Engaging with African people in the U.S, hasn’t been a pleasant experience for me. So it allowed me to be even more bitter towards them. It was when you all went to the slave trade areas. The children singing is what moved and shifted my heart. ❤ Again, Thank you
Accra need infrastructure just like South African and Kenya
Come and build it

Thanks for this beautiful documentary 🙏 ❤️
Our people( kalenji) from Kenya 🇰🇪 use those green plants around the neck, plus milk from a guard as a sign of victory as they welcome the Victor's
If not for opportunities else where which many not be in Ghana, why would any one leave Ghana
Thank you my Sista...I am coming to Ghana December. I see the evidence of some of the things and stories my grandmother thought me in Jamaica about our culture.

Africa is home we all need to return home for good and only travel around the continent without leaving the border of Africa continent forever ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️ Africa we love you ❤️❤️🇯🇲
Great job choosing to come back home, guys! I'm an African living in Liberia 🇱🇷, I did visit Ghana 🇬🇭 earlier this year, and to be honest, I didn't have the time to tour the country because I went for a summit but the country is nice as well as the people who live there through my little movement and interaction with its people.
I really hope you can return and see it intimately
As a Ghanaian I’m happy to see the Diaspora growing 🫶🏾❤️❤️
It’s the “No Jollof?? Abomination 😂😂” for me. Welcome to the new and returning visitors❤️❤️
I know right! 🤣🙌🏽🙌🏽
Medaase :) and I ate so much Jollof after that lol
Jus came across this video from a link and am already in love with the history been taught
wooooow😢am finna move over someday
May God bless our home land Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 and make e strong 💪💪🤘🤘
Amen
Welcome home, our people. Welcome home to the motherland. All the way from Southern Africa.
thank you!
Medaase :)
❤🎉🎉🎉
I can feel the peace through the TV. Can’t wait to go one day.
yes yes! It was incredible!
Million pound documentary ..I never imagined, a documentary of a sort could be created... Really breathtaking Documentary. Thanks a lot Dentaa
Our pleasure!
Absolutely! I'm watching it for the 3rd time. I still get chills and I was there lol
God may the peace of heavens come upon us all , Amen
❤️It's awesome seeing our diaspora fam reconnecting with the motherland. Ghana's where it's at, and you're not just visiting; you're home. Own a piece of the land and start building. There are tons of hidden gems here. We snagged a spot up in Cape Coast on a mountain with killer views of green hills and the ocean. Just breathtaking. Akwaaba❤️🇬🇭
thank you ... that is the plan 😃
@@justcoriya 😊🙏🏾
@@justcoriya We have to factor in the upbringing and quality of life of our children. In Western countries, Africans [Blacks] are often called racial slurs, spit on, and thrown bananas at🤨Not sure why ANY thinking African would want to endure such abuse. Especially if the person has funds to escape
@@justcoriya 👍🏾 😊
One Love ❤❤😊😊 One People 👍👍 God bIess our homeland 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
The group should have visited Kakum forest reserve, Aburi Gardens and the African Ancestral Wall in Prampram.
Yeah, I definitely agree with you, a lot of people need to *visit* the African Ancestral Wall in Ghana. It is very important that black ppl visit that place. It shows that our people are *very* resilient and that place is so inspirational. It is a good place to learn about all of our leaders who have made a *change* in the world. I hope one day Dentaa can interview the guy who created that Wall cause he is also from the diaspora.
It's was a time issue. I already have another 2.0 trip planned for them :)
@@justcoriyaOK,the African Ancestral Wall is owned and operated by an African American who has been living in Ghana for more than 30 years.
Aburi Gardens is not what it used to be. I hope it gets rehabilitated soon.
Odana
Well done for your support for making Ghana 🇬🇭 great thanks in a Millions ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your patronage as well
This was so beautiful. My journey will take me to Asia first with my teacher, in December. But, my goal is to eventually plant my feet in African soil.
Respect!❤
You can do it!
And one person i want you to brink him in ghana is ,mario Balloteli, i hope you can do
Mario is being brainwashed to believe his Ghanaians parents abandoned him.
@@steveobeng4444 😭😭
Exactly true .
Beautiful video, wish i could find a group going to Ghana so i wouldn't go alone
Dentaa u are amazing continue showing the world how Africa is and how resilient we are,thank u so much for giving your beautiful life in the UK and responding to the call of Mother Africa as the journey always starts from GHANA despite the challenges you and your colleagues are making it work . Ayekoo Guba and Dentaa MORDEN DAY “NANA YAA ASANTEWA”👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

So wonderful Ghana is slow moving in steps by steps
yes yes
I love to travel and have been to several places internationally. But traveling to Ghana was a totally different trip. It was an awesome and amazing experience! There are places that are undeveloped but there are also areas that are developed. We stay in Accra and I absolutely loved it! I love the people and the cultural! I would love to have dual citizenship! #JourneytoGhana 2023 was emotional, educational, enlightening & empowering! Thank you @gotravelchick
With tears in my eyes, Sis thank you for taking this journey with me
@justcoriya6168 I wouldn't have taken it with anyone else, not even myself! #🇬🇭
Deenta this is my best video to date. This was a trip of a lifetime welcoming our people back home!!! It was spiritual, emotional, thanksgiving, full of love and history. Thanks to the relatives who braved to return home. Everything was on point 👉. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for all of you! Salute ❤.
They had a so much fun that I am already planning a 2.0 trip :)
@@justcoriya glad to hear that sis!
A big thanks to the video editor and chief organizer.As a Ugandan living in Maryland USA this was beautiful seeing my American brothers and sisters going back to motherland paying homage to our ancestors.
Thank you, it was epic!
This was great to see…. My wife and I need to plan a trip like this with our family and friends
It was incredible. I had been 8 times before I finally got this group there and they will never ever forget it! I'm already planning more!

Every time I watch Odenta's channel it makes me so *proud* to be African. I cannot wait to visit Ghana. Man, it's been a long time since I have been home.
thank you for your patronage as well
My lovely lovely lovely Dentaa. Love you to the max
Your name even melts my heart. Hope you played them the Official welcome home song by Osibisa at the Airport?.
Keep doing what you are doing for the motherland. Ayekooooooo!!!!!
Thank you so much
Eating the raw cocoa is very good as long as our health is concern
Ghana is my motherland and at times I marvel at our hospitality. The way Ghanaians love foreigners is beyond understanding and for our African American family,Caribeans oh my God I just love vibing with them because we connect naturally
WELCOME TO GHANA 🇬🇭. ENJOY YOUR STAY ❤❤❤❤❤
it was my 8th trip but it was one that they will never forget!
Brilliant, thanks so much. You will be my Sister. God richly bless you. AMEN 🙏

Good job to the ODANA NETWORK!
Always happy to see you selling Ghana to the world. Like i always say one day you going to be the Minister of Tourism ❤
Dentaa and GUBA are absolutely amazing! No way I could have done this without them
This is so touching god bless our homeland ghana. Ghana will be better for sure😅😅
We all had a blast and I'm planning to bring more home
A Peaceful home to be is Ghana, A place of love. Home sweet home
Keep bringing our brothers and sisters to us...we miss them
I am committed to that
I am so touched by this i studied and taught this amnd i feel the pain knowing that our ancestors were forced to leave Paradise to suffer so much agony in a foreign country. I have to visit Ghana.
Please come. We look forward to welcoming you.
It's so enlightening. I am here to offer any advice you may need but the best will come from joining the GUBA Diaspora Network - best decision I made!
You definitely must visit
Pls bring more to Ghana, am so happy to see u again
I plan to. I already have 3 trips planned for next year!
Do you go through an agent. I would like to take my son he is 12@@justcoriya
I hope our fellow africans realize how excited we are to come to africa and add to the continent and culture, not take away or take advantage. We need the connections to the motherland desperately and we are trying to connect. I'm so proud to see us organizing groups to go back home 😊
I feel the same way. I've already done another group and planning more. As I type I'm home in Ghana for Easter... I still feel welcome 🇬🇭
Amazing thing is I couldn't tell who's American and who's Ghanaian until they spoke. This was beautiful to watch.
Great job GUBA and Dentaa for the great work 👌. U selling the positives of our dear Ghana, many challenges but we shall get there
Big up
U are always welcome home our lost family
thank you, I plan to bring many more home!
This video worth more than a million views, best of the best , I learned a lot watching this video ☑️🙏
that is SO awesome! Thanks for watching
Very quality video and audio. Excellent job @Dentaa
Much appreciated!
This was so beautiful 💖💫🌟💖✨️ I am so hlad that they had a wonderful journey.❤
Yes it was!
Thank you!
Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. As an African, my first encounters with AA in the US was stunning. It was that of anger, resentment and snob directed at me. On my first stop at JFK, feeling a bond, I approached an AA woman in a store to help me change a $20 bill into coins so I could make a phone call in those days of coin phones and telephone booths. I thought she did not hear me because of my accent, as politely as I could (at least, I thought I was) I repeated my self to her. To my surprise, her response wiped away all my excitement of speaking to a sister.She bluntly told me that she heard me initially but did not want to speak to me. I was taken aback and went across to the next store, where I met a white male who not only gave me the coins but went out of his way to place the call for me to my host. My second rude awakening was when it was time to have a hair cut. To myself, I thought who else will be better experienced cutting my hair than a brother. I was directed to a salon . That day was a public holiday, of course which I was not aware of and his shop was closed. Next day was my first day at work.There were other barber shops opened but I waited till next day to patronize my bro. Next day, when I came back the shop was open. I eagerly narrated to him my experience the previous day, expecting a pat on the back for coming back. He told me straight up, that only Africans work on American public holidays. Wao! The way he nudged, shoved and tilted my head. At one stage, I thought he gave me a knock on the head. I was so scared throughout the session that I hoped that he did not clip off a piece of my ear. Needless to say, that was the only time I went to his shop and did not care whoever, it was that cut my hair. With those two experiences few months apart in the US, then I wondered to myself if only AAs know how much Africans in Africa love and adore them. So seeing these lovely sisters and brothers making the journey to Africa, got me very emotional. It brought tears of joy and took me back to the hurt I felt on my arrival to the US, to see the anger and resentment from the effects of slavery. We may not have the infrastructure in Africa but we still have humanity. Thank you for making the trip to Africa and sharing. Africa will always be home.
I am so so so sorry you had these unfortunate experiences. I hope this video shows you that not all people are the same. I consider myself a kind person but I have a special place in my heart for Africans. Please accept my apology as an olive branch and I sincerely hope you have better encounters
What an amazing adventure! I love that you visited the orphanage and took new items, it's very rare that our babies on the continent get new stuff! I hope you all can stay connected to the school to assist with the students' needs.
So glad to see Odana network back! Africa is healing for us diasporan. And so happy to see you all get your non-citizen cards. All of this is a step towards reunification! Africa Unite - Bob Marley!
I made a commitment to the kids at the village. I want to spend many more birthdays there. It all was so incredible. Can't wait to take the next group
My ticket is ready December I am coming home.

I also want to say that Ghanaians are lucky that they are able to showcase their country to the diaspora. They must keep it up.
Love from a Nigerian in Nigeria.
❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for using this channel to educate and inform us people of African descent worldwide of our ancestors and ancestry. And also, I hope and pray that every African nation and nation with people of color file lawsuits for reparations from the Royal families and Western nations every day to the coming again of JESUS CHRIST🙏.
Our pleasure!
Proud Ghanaian living in Northport AL, i miss home but this is so refreshing to watch ❤❤❤
You are a very strong woman

You guys didn't visit the tourist sites in Eastern Region.
Bro, Thank you for your support and honesty in promoting Ghana.
Watching you from USA. Will try to visit Ghana with my family soon.
Always welcome
you won't regret it! I'm taking 5 more groups in 2024!
Thanks for putting Ghana out there
Always
You are welcome home cousins. ❤❤❤
thank you!
O that Mama at the salon, "I came here looking one way and I am going to leave looking another way" put a smile on my face....🙂🤩🤩. It gladens my heart to see people taking the bold step to go see their roots to experience the continent, the people the food and the culture.
As a Ghanaian living mostly in Europe I miss home most of the time especially because I know what is there back home. I can't even begin to imagine how somebody in their lifetime is not able to go to their roots maybe because they simply cannot or there is the fear factor.
Anytime I watch one of these videos of successful trips to Ghana and good experiences, It makes me so so happy. Kudos Dentaa and kudos to anyone who helps them settle in fine when they visit. You all are a blessing. And to you all lovely people that have come once please visit again!!!!! And to all thinking about making the trip, Please do, the doors are wide open...we are ready to welcome you

I plan to take many more!
