In the mid-1950s, there began a new era in which African Americans began to migrate to Ghana as a result of its independence. African Americans, especially civil rights activists such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Julian Bond, went to Ghana to aid the country's development and escape the racism of the United States.
In this video I share Dale and Deisa’s story of moving from the United States to Ghana. Deisa was a pharmacist in the US and Dale was an investment banker over in New York. Now they have relocated to Ghana and are establishing their lives here.

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, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
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.
Diasporan from America........ I came to Ghana Sept. 21 for two weeks.... Stayed 6 weeks...... Came back 7 months later..... been living here for 7 months now... LOVE IT!!!! I love being HOME.....
So lovely 🥰
I look forward to joining you!!!!!
I’ll be returning in July for 3 months start and hopefully can stay longer. I visited for the year of return and cried when I had to leave. My heart and soul was at peace. I would love to connect. 😊
I'm on my way I'm working towards a visa I don't know if it matters but I'm working to move HOME asap
@@teshirasmallwood7830 I cried when I went back to the US for those seven months,...... And I do understand the peace part.... I felt the same way..... Being honest.... it can challenging here sometimes, but I appreciate being around my own..... and yes..... any questions you have I'm here...
This is awesome. My husband and I did the same thing. Here for almost 2 months now. Came for 1 month went back and packed and came back last Tuesday for good. I love Ghana. 🇯🇲 🇺🇸 🇬🇧. You look great Jasmine
Welcome Jacqueline 💕💕
I did the same thing...... Been here for 7 months now
Miss #Lou always said: "Back To Afrika Miss Matty!"
WOW that's awesome I have been really wanting to do the same, keep me in prayer 🙏 for my transition as well
Congratulations… soon come 🇬🇭☝🏾❤️
Zero expectation is an excellent approach.
Agreed 🥰
You got it. No expectations deliver you more than you can imagine. Ghana is definitely the place.
African content creators we are doing great, even though slowly, but hopefully, we will change that narrative.
🥰
Coming from northern europe, I am so happy about all the african content creators telling stories from the different countries of the continent. Here in Europe, we have been told the wrong story about modern Africa. It also fills my heart with joy to witness stories of african americans that are moving back to Ghana and finding a sense of home.
🇬🇾 now I gotta go see ghana 🇬🇭 for myself
Me too!!! Got to see where the hero Cuffy came from.
They've inspired me to move to Ghana. thanks Jasmine for hosting these couples on your platform.
Ur welcome 🥰
Me too, now I just need to plan.
Wahoo, these are the types of testimony that I really love to hear
But that is too quick ,too soon to move without enough exposure/experience.
A country will not meet the expectations of anyone. A person has to create their own expectations depending on the environment. A person has to know where they are moving to.
when babylon start burning soon only those thave escape will be laughing . you must begin before is too late
I keep saying Africa is home n am home to stay❤❤
I've been thinking about relocating to Ghana myself from America. America is my born home, but Ghana is now calling for me. It's an exciting and frightening ambition of mine. Thank you for interviewing this couple, our Lady Jasmine. 😎🖤🙏😎
Jump on whenever you ready. I’m a Ghanaian living in the USA but haven’t visited in a long time. I suggest you go explore for a month then after you can take a final decision and if you single, you might find you sum Ghanaian kiddy lol
Ur welcome 💕
Me too maybe we’ll meet there one day ny is stressing me out too
CJ reach me if you want to travel there for visit then you can decide afterwards. Am heading there in May 2023
Go go go
I built a house in Ghana before even stepping foot here. Crazy right? Well I did it 😅 my journey has been and still is lovely ❤
May we be able to communicate? Thinking about making this transition.
I love it! We gotta get to some peace.
@@s.w.3476 I receiving it as we speak…
@@mssgoree87 sure we can
Imagine people not following you around the store, police not profiling you, etc. Freedom from daily disdain and danger must be nice.
You are describing a dream come true and we are living it.

She is right about the similarity between Guyana 🇬🇾 and Ghana 🇬🇭. In 2019 when I flew to Guyana for the first time after 15 minutes driving from the Airport to my hotel. I said the same thing, that it feels like Ghana and I can move and live in Guyana without any problems
Interesting...
When they 1st talked about patience in Ghana, she was NOT kidding! I am Ghanaian born and raised in the USA and when I tell you, Ghana will humble you and teach you
patients that you never thought you had !😂😂😂😂
Ghana is home to everyone welcome home brothers and sisters this is home Ghana
Amazing! That balcony is huuuge!!! 😮 After that crazy NYC lifestyle this couple looks so peaceful and stress - free. Beautiful post!
Hello to my South American neighbor from Guyana ( with the West Indian vybes) and her wonderful American husband. Best wishes for a successful Act 2 from this Jamaican who has yet to visit the African continent.
The Guyanese are coming in!
Yes we are!! Can’t wait to visit the land of our ancestors.
There are Americans who have been living in Ghana over 50 years.
Beautiful home and l love their interior 💕 wishing them all the best in the motherland
💕💕
Come back home.
We have it all.
They are scared of our unity 🤝
I am so inspired. I am 43 now and by God's Grace I hope to hop off the "wheel" before I am 50. Congratulations on living your vision❣
My dream to come through Ama.workin on it,you see your works is a great work you are doing.ase ase,🇯🇲🇬🇭
Looking looking fabulous as always👑
💕
Lovely couple in a lovely home. I wish them the best and fulfillment in Ghana. America is too depressing for me. I feel increasingly lost daily.
God is with u
I’m looking to move also. My husband is Nigerian and I’m American. My preference is Ghana but my husband choice is Nigeria. I’m currently in the states but familiar with the power outages but the “cold” water took some getting used to even after 4 visits to Nigeria
WELCOME BACK HOME DEAR FAMILY, ALL OF HEAVENLY BLESSINGS DIVINELY AND SPEEDILY IN CHRIST JESUS'S MIGHTY NAME AMEN AND AMEN
finally diasporans are catching on to the fact that you dont have to build your own place to move to ghana....buying is a better option than wanting to build your own house in ghana....and there are sooo many beautiful gated and residential properties to choose from.....thank you Ama for this enlightening interview.
It great to have all those options 🥰
Wow , people from New York city like me.
Lol what do u mean , building is better ,it will be exactly to your taste
And here we have the real estate agent trying to get quick business
@@danielcarlies5151 There are a lot of us all over Ghana. 😊
The cotton wall art puts me in tears. if you haven’t experienced racism you will not understand 😤
It still blows my mind that my mother experienced a share cropper farm. We are not that far removed from chains.
@@offthewheel you are welcome home guys
GT, Guyana in the house! So proud and happy for y’all..
The couple is very knowledgeable and I can listen to them a whole day
It’s always a wonderful feeling when we can make a positive impact on others. Welcome back to your motherland ❤
Smart couple, no what it takes to settle in another country. obey the law, respect the people, follow the rules. GGOOD LUCK
I am a Ghanaian living in New York, I like this couple because they are genuine. They have my respect, as a Ghanaian, I can relate to all what they are saying. My recommendation to anyone who plan to move to Ghana, should be preferable a retiree, a professional or an entrepreneur. Once again my sincere gratitude to this couple, they have so much intelligence. Very decent house. Good luck.
I visit Africa years ago and it as always been my dream to move there. Bring in America it has never felt like home.
Beautiful souls. Welcome home, brother and sister. Hope my brother's mom join them soonest.
When he mentioned that his wife is traced back to Cameroon, my heart skipped with joy and excitement.
Stay blessed. This is your brother from the Cameroons.
When I grow up I want to have there level of happiness.👍
Make more money & you willl💰 🤣
@@nate4rmghana277 Facts money is not everything but it makes the transition smooth back to the Mother land. And it would make our ancestors happy. I'm learning more and more watching these channels. The couple escape NYC and went back to Africa and seems like at peace.
I love the way the man z so relaxed
Ghana is such a lovely place and the people are so friendly 🤗
I used to watch their channel preparing to come to Ghana. So nice to see them nicely settled.
Wow very interesting! I listen and watch Robin ROBERTS trip to Ghana and I said this is it for me, now I am convinced after seeing my Country woman from Guyana 🇬🇾 comfortable and happily living in Ghana! I am going to visit beautiful Ghana mid 2023! Thank you for all good INFORMATION very helpful. See you soon Ghana 🤣
U are welcome my sister to the motherland. It's well known that Guyana is on of the Caribbean countries that slave's descendants from Ghana were shipped to which is quite emotional any time I my fellow Africans from the diaspora visit the slave castle l have strong emotional shivers in spine and resonate with their experiences. Well my sister l bet you after ur first visit just by popping out from the airport u can feel it within ur veins that the motherland is welcoming you back to ur roots. Lot's of luv from South Africa but am a Ghanaian resident 🇿🇦🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Americans need to be convinced that everything is here in Ghana 🇬🇭
Their house is beautiful, what inspirational Couples. Africa Continent is changing everyday, we will get there. In the last 29 years I left home, Africa have changed tremendously. I am planning now to relocate back to the Continent. Because Africa is next frontier. They earlier someone make the move,the early it better, to tap opportunities on the ground
This is one of my favourite videos. I love how happy they are living in the Motherland.
People always get amazed and frustrated by how the pace of living in Ghana is so slow. I am not sure whether this is a good or bad thing to others but to me, "Rushing" as we call it in Ghana is the cause of many diseases and crimes. The rush to get things done so quickly causes escalating of blood pressure, stress and anxiety. Frustration from rush can bring a lot of anger and crime. I've witnessed a lot of these in places like Lagos, Toronto and New York.
Yeah we had to get used to the pace of things. Once it was explained it made sense and we adjusted. We have to turn off our Western expectations and embrace the culture. ❤️❤️❤️I love Ghana.
Such a sweet, beautiful couple and so welcoming.
This was an inspiring video. We are considering Rwanda but Ghana is giving me second thoughts. I love their apartment. That painting reminded me of growing up in the south. My grandparents were farmers and I picked cotton briefly until grandpa got a machine that did it. We still chopped the weeds from the crops every summer until my senior year of high school. I got a summer job at the health department.
I would love to know more about your life story.
You need to visit Ghana first before deciding to make a permanent move.
Rwanda is the cleanest city of Africa, corruption level very low, faster to register a business. Ghana is connected with African diaspora on slavery history and both experience is different level
We’re moving to Rwanda in august and super excited. We’re relocating from England. We have registered our children into school. We were there last summer for 6wks. We can’t wait!!!
Working on a trip to Ghana to now can’t wait
I have been watching since they started talking about their moving to Africa specific to Ghana. I'm happy they are here now, hope to meet them in person and tell them welcome home. When I listen to their reasons for the move I was so happy, because they speak so much wisdom. They are also real professionals willing to share their knowledge with African and Ghana.
V beautiful, serene home. Like the way he euphemistically replaced the "B" word with giving a "donation"!! 😂😂😂. We got you all right!!👍🏾
🤣
Fast forward, a meeting got me to an office and there was this older man and inside his offices was lots of beautiful paintings but one particular painting I was staring all those time I walked in his office. So I word out the feeling I’m actually getting staring at the paint… the old man became amused then replied “all his life I’m one of the few to say something like that about that painting” it started a whole new conversation because I love painting myself. Lastly, I love how he talked about that paint coming back to his root along side finding out his history bate back to the Motherland. A whole story on it own they can explore on their channel. Good job Jasmine!
💕
Finally "off the wheel", me soon come
Their story resonates with me deeply. The George Floyd incident happened in my neck of the woods and I do remember the subway shooting that happened in NY vividly. Some mentally deficient lunatic decided to shoot up in one of the subway carts. Incidents like that can scar you for life leaving irreparable damages. Can't wait to move down permanently.
Nice content... My sentiments exactly on why I'm moving to Ghana 🇬🇭
You're always welcome home.
This story is so phenomenal, I cannot get over it. They're New Yorkers as am I, and apartment dwellers, but have adapted very well to working and living there.
What a beautiful couple! Very down to earth, intelligent!
I totally understand how this couple especially the wife feels. I'm a Jamaican living in the US for 44 years burnt out from working in copper America lost my job in March 22 working in banking finance have not been able to obtain employment The racism the separatism the pressure the stress the lack of work-life balance as long as I've been in this country I still miss home and what it feels like to be home and amongst my people I want to be under leadership that looks like myself I don't want to have to worry about when I drive into a neighborhood or pulled over by police officer I'm scared for my life it wears you that mentally so I am ready to Make a move to Ghana I would love to connect with other Caribbeans Jamaicans Guyanese some of my closest friends are Guyanese. Is there a network where I can reach out to of Caribbeans that have relocated back to Ghana.
You should just come visit first.
@@offthewheel That's in the plan
It's so clean and Beautiful ❤️So jealous 😭
Aw
This is an exceptional couple; they did their research and plan wisely. They knew exactly what type of accommodation they wanted, and they got it. I love the apartment. And they shipped things that have sentimental value to them; things that give them a feel of the past or connection with where they are coming from, and that gives them a kind of familiarity in their new home. This interview is very encouraging to people who are thinking of moving to Africa.
Thank you! Also, Hortense was my grandmothers name.
@@offthewheel Yes, there is flower called Hortense. I will check out your TH-cam channel.
Watch all of the interview and I must say your guess is very simple and wise. I can tell they living within there means and not above there means very important. Booked my ticket a couple of weeks ago for the summer, can't wait to come to Ghana...I will be there for one month....I would love to see some places too....maybe some houses and apartments too.
There balcony is huge omg 😲 😍....
One thing a day 😊 People have to watch this and see you have to plan before you move.
They are truly living in peace 💜 and If you’re young and have no commitments overseas, I believe you are at an advantage of making a difference in your life for a new chapter! The world is your oyster 🎉 happy 2023.
I can so relate to this couple, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY now living in the south. So I understand the hustle and bustle lifestyle. Thank you for sharing their experience with moving from the big city and being very candid about their experiences as I am planning to move to Ghana as well
I love the expression of zero expectations which is starting afresh. This is good advice when relocating to a new country,. You experience a whole new life and use skills which you didn't know you have and these experiences will be your own not based on someone 's experience. Akwaaba 🙏🙏🙏
So true 😊
Keep it up Ghana. You’re a loving & welcoming country. God bless Ghana for saving souls, our African American brothers and sisters. Thank you sister for this platform
GLORY BE GOD ALMIGHTY, CONGRATULATIONS MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL AND HAVE A BLESSED STAY HOME
I loved this interview. They're such an inspiration. I cant wait to get off the wheel myself and move back home !
Daisy is more smily and happier than ever last tym i saw their video,for the man i now he is always on point
Hey! I watch their channel! 🥰 Your home is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I do hope that his mother will move there too. I am so happy for you both. This video and others do so much for those of us just waiting for the opportunity to make the shift. I just spent $ for a tour for me, my two children and my aunt to visit Ghana in April. Bless you all and thank you for this video.
I decided before visiting, even bought land before visiting, eventually visited and confirm am definitely moving there after gloomy 🇬🇧
How lovely 🥰
@JasmineAmaa yes indenture ready and other paperwork so onward I say. I love 🇬🇭 just a bigger jamaica.
After gloomy?
@@tayokarate gloomy uk
Are u black British
BEAUTIFUL COUPLE JASMINE....VERY INFORMATIVE.
ROFLMAO- the husband SAID it better than I ever heard. Number 45 energizing the CRAZIES. THAT is NOTHING but THE TRUTH. Ama great video Thumbs Up. Its why I've been a subscriber.
Awwww this is beautiful 😍 sweetheart you are definitely an influence 💖 keep up the good work 👏
❤️❤️ thanks so much
@@JasmineAmaa This beautiful I been hearing this is the future .
i been watching you Jasmine for 2 years and i’ve been watching this couple since their beginning on TH-cam! nice to see these Connections
Beautiful home
The house is huge
Veryy
I love not seeing the bars in the windows! They make me nervous about being trapped if a fire broke out! I am thinking of moving.
It's a cultural thing! We have Ghanaian friends who come and ask "where the hell are the bars?"
It makes some sense if you live on ground floor, in a detached home, not in a gated community and you may be out of the country for chunks of time.
May God bless the future of Ghana
WELCOME HOME. GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU ALL. AMEN.
Great content Jasmine. My family and I moved here 2 months ago from the states. Yes, I agree with everything said. We have children so it's a little different. Thanks for the content.
Nice chat and conversation and interview.With their background in Pharmacy(wife)and Investment(husband),it will be easy for them to find good jobs in Ghana.WISHING them the BEST in GHANA.
Not looking for jobs! This is Act 2 of our lives; we worked like dogs for 25 years to not be dependent on a job now.
@@offthewheel OK kool.Enjoy your stay in Ghanaaa.
@@offthewheel I am Guyanese married to Ghanaian living in Canada. My wife is planning to move back withe kids in December 2024. I will also visit for the first time.
I would love to meet with someone who is from Guyana.
Fun fact: I’m a pharmaceutical chemist
Great interview, lovely couple and house. Akwaba to Ghana and wishing them success. Subscribed to their channel too. Thanks Jasmine for another great content.
💕💕
This is so inspiring! Great conversation nice house with such a huge functional balcony! Welcome home sis and bro!
I love his shirt👊🏽💪🏾🤎
That home is amazing ❤
This is a huge house and very nice couples, wishing them all the blessings from their ancestors, by returning to the mother land
"The answer to 99 questions out of 100 is money"
Wow proud of you all. Akwabaa. Enjoy your beautiful and exciting living. God bless you all for being Ghanaians .
This was so well done. Deisia and Dale’s responses were so valuable and addressed key issues for those thinking of moving back “home “. Thank you and God bless.🙏🏽
May we marry right. I love this couple. See how he followed her reasonable suggestion and they are both happy for it. More blessings, strength and health to you two.
They are welcome to Ghana. I hope their stay here will be worthwhile!
Jasmine I love your outfit👌 you are looking beautiful❤️
Thanks Esther 🥰
Jasmine you are doing wonderfully well for mother Ghana 🇬🇭
Ghana 🇬🇭 is the gateway to Africa believe it or not.. small country but has everything n so popular
Thank you Husband for telling it upfront
Jasmine. You are my favorite TH-camr. You are beautiful, classy, and sophisticated but yet down to earth. You always present great content that brings awareness and adventure into your life and the lives and culture of your surroundings. P.S. Please tell Aisha that i said hi. ☺
❤️❤️
This a a really lovely team of people. We loved their honesty. Great video, thank you.
Set up Pharmacy in Ghana n become a millionaire.
I love this dude. Straight to the point, and keeping it real!
I'm stacking my money now. I'm getting the hell OUT of AMERICA.
Jasmine, definately underestimating your influence and masterful way of bringing people in. Whether its purposeful; your warm, excepting and loving way you bring us in or just second nature; its working quick note: Keep Doing It and thank you!
It’s better to rent a place for at least 1 year, study the system look around, contact TH-camrs or course like Jasmine, drive around, then you can decide where you want to finally settle down. Importantly don’t spend all your money on one mansion, you can invest your money on another property that can bring in income like AirBnB. Thanks Jasmine.
Great Advice!!
of course... many folks trying to escape the U.S.
😜😜
Mistakes many diasporas are doing ,spending all their hard earned money on one mansion later find it difficult to finish it, eventually they will return back,some of them need proper financial education.
@@bolamassive7941
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct.
Did you see Jasmine just posted a tour of Migrating Culture Crossing in Somanya, Ghana.
What do you think of that opportunity?
☀️☀️
@@HughJass-jv2lt Yeah I'm confused with this because alot of African are coming here at least that was the case for the past 10 years but it could be difficult now. I feel like alot of things is changing as I watch these channels. Go back to Africa use to just be a saying now it's real.
Such a nice couple, well done 👍🏼
