Let's make Ghana great again
YES!!!
Ghana is great...... we didn't know it. Our eyes are opened now. We thank you Ivy and Nappie Briggs and Woya Maya and others who are paving the way.
Its already great.
These African women are so beautiful.. The skin color is epic .
Thanks.
A wine cafe...now that's a great venture for capital in Ghana!
I watch a variety of TH-cam channels. Many are pop culture centered, mostly tilted toward content that an old timer like myself may or may not find relevant. Others, far too few, have content that's culturally, politically and socially relevant ( for Black folks in particular). Your channel has a balance that's always relevant, entertaining, educational and excellent at telling the story about what's happening in Ghana. Please keep the content coming. Thanks.
I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching my videos and I'm glad my content has been balance and enjoyable.
Hosea Long Agreed✊🏾
Yes it’s very balance. I myself is being called to move to Ghana and I honestly got some really good information from this channel. People I will contact when I get to Ghana.
I had being invited a couple of times while in Ghana and couldn't honor it. Thanks Ivy for bringing the face behind Sai. Will certainly visit next time I am in Ghana.
I swear I love ur dress so beautiful 💗🇬🇭🇬🇭
Nadia is very articulate, clever and absolutely stunning. Nice interview, great vision she has.
Lovely location ... I look forward to visiting for dinner, wine and DESERT when in Ghana in December and January.
Nice. We all coming home soon
My name Takyiwaa. ❤️ from name.
Beautiful I love this frankly 👍🙏🏿
Oh Sai wine, I didn’t know she was British. It’s a really nice place, good vibe, food and decor.
I'm proud Africa woman. I love it 👍👍👍🌹
As u should be
That's was an amazing interview. I am a mother of 4 and wanting to move to Ghana. The interview has really inspired me so much.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow Gh on the rise🇬🇭🇬🇭
Can you do a video on colleges and universities in Ghana? It would be great if African-American and African-Caribbean families begin to send their kids to study in Ghana and develop a greater appreciation for their African ancestry
Check Nancy owusuaa TH-cam channel
The only thing is that they will have to apply as foriegn students. They African Americans are doing it already thru study abroad.
There are study abroad programs to Ghana
I have to say Ivy’s content brilliant as always
Thank you very much.
Amazing!!! World class! 🇬🇭
Yes, I imagine growing up in London with its famous bad rainy weather and moving back to Ghana, West Africa and feeling that sun on your skin must be almost life changing/healing. I was born and raised in Washington D.C. in the U.S. and I hate the drab, rainy autumn weather and the cold, dark winters. On the other hand, I love the sunny, hot and humid summers. I know that my Africans genes are strong because it never gets too hot or sunny for me. I can go out in the hottest sunniest part of the day and just be happy and in love with the weather. I wish you much good luck and success with your wine bar. Such a creative idea for Ghanian 's who want to further explore the beauty of wine. Continued blessings to you.
I loved, loved, loved this video. Brava!
You are a motivator and resilient . Am praying for you. You will be a great success
Thanks a lot for the great conversation and great ideas that can be implemented almost everywhere in Africa. Looking forward to visit Ghana next year ...
Nice video _ am your fans from Thailand :)
SWEET, BEAUTIFUL QUEENS, EMPRESSES AND ROYALTIES, NADIA AND IVY!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
Excellent interview, brilliant conversation.
Thank you!
This is one of the most brilliant conversations between two classy African Queens. The content was food for the soul. One thing that's missing amongst a lot of youtubers in the African Diaspora is objectivity. Covering all of the dynamics which make up a complex society is necessary. Especially for those coming from abroad who don't fully understand the intricate workings of African culture. The African Diaspora abroad has the seed. However those seeds must be nurtured and developed in order to flourish in the fertile soil of the motherland. Again, Thank you for your brilliance! 🇬🇭 👀 🙌🏿
I'm happy you enjoyed the conversation. Thanks for watching.
I watched a video from another TH-camr recently. She was going over the pros and cons of living in Ghana. Of course she returned to the US and is now broadcasting from NY. I thought to myself, I would rather bribe a cop in Africa than be shot by one in the US! BABYLON is BURNING! 🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 It doesn't matter if you have more resources if those resources are being misappropriated. COVID-19 is running rampant in the US. The West is slowly becoming a graveyard filled with violence, plagues and natural disasters. Right now California is on fire and the sky is literally red in color. African Americans are being put into medically induced comas for COVID-19 and never leaving the hospital. There are over two million individuals locked in the prison system. White militias roam the streets with semiautomatic weapons threatening the kill everyone who doesn't agree with their racist agendas. Even before the pandemic there was an opioid epidemic that was taking the lives of tens of thousands of US citizens with no repercussions. Now we are on the verge of a potential civil conflict due to political oppositions. There is a reason why the African Diaspora is looking to move back to the motherland. However if one is looking for some kind of reparation or hand out they will not succeed regardless of the ethnicity of the populous. Your president is a brilliant individual. I believe he is one of the most strategic leaders and the world. The rebranding of Ghana has manifested into the reimagining of Africa to the African Diaspora. Every video and commentary I view warms my heart. My plan is to begin the process of moving myself within the next 12 months. The work you do is righteous. It is definitely God's work. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
God is amazing 😌
Keep up the good work Ivy. Each video reveals new gems of information. Can’t wait to visit Ghana.
Great I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Ivy this was soooo good! Added this to my list of places to go to when I come back to Ghana. Also Nadia's advice on buying land as collateral was spot-on. That's how my family built their businesses in Ghana
Thank you for watching. I'm grateful.
Her land as collateral tip was a real gem!
Great video Ivy, very inspiring. Love the wine idea. She’s going to do well for sure. It’s amazing how some of the negatives are similar in every black colonized country. We have the same issues in the Caribbean. So difficult to do business there, export and import goods. The colonialists system doesn’t want us to make it and our leaders are so for themselves, they keep the useless system in place that keeps the country and their people down. Hope that mindset will change soon.
Thank you for your comment and sharing the similarities about the Caribbean. I'm really hoping that things gradually change over time. It's true that the colonialists system had made it difficult and sometimes leadership contributes to the problems. That's why I love meeting people who are finding ways to make it and also make a difference in other people's lives at the same time.
An awesome interview by an awesome woman interviewing an awesome successful beautiful businesswoman. 🔥💃🏽❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful!❣❣
Her space is beautiful. I wish she would do a weekly show, choosing a food and wine pairing and then discussing a book. The book of the month should be a four week series. Demon interactive allowing viewers to post questions about the book. The last session can be live to greet the author.
I am saving money to syndicate shows like this to connect the diaspora and those who live Africa
This is a great impact. Watch til the end and learnt a lot as a Ghanaian born living in Ghana ✌🏾🔥🔥🔥
She has so many great things to say that is helpful to people wanting to do business in Ghana. Glad you learned from the video.
Ivy Prosper Please we need a part 2 of the interview.
This is great. I love it. Will definitely go there when in Ghana.
Please do!
I am not a wine drinker, but that's very cool 😎 👌
They do serve some good food there so you don't have to drink wine. I think I'll do another video about their food next time.
Thanks Ivy, you just added another reason why I'm regretting cancelling my ticket, but I will definitely rebook for next year. Please keep show casing these fantastic women and the businesses in Ghana. The country is calling me so strongly and I'm not Ghanaian or African!
Aw, well, you can always visit Ghana another time!
Please stay where you are. The African Diasporans are coming home.
@@michaelodoom1290 😆😆😆😆😆Some of you have no chill.
This is a really great interview.
I really appreciate this comment.
A Wine Bar :)
Wow this was a great interview. I loved her story 😄
Glad you enjoyed it!
Understanding your parents its definitely the best thing that happens when you get to be where they have built their character and mannerisms.That's when the true journey with your parent's starts... Appreciation is word. loved it! really good! thank you Miss Ivy.
You're most welcome. Thanks for your comment and I appreciate you watching the video.
Great interview/content, the cafe looks amazing. Nadia is so intelligent and inspirational! Can’t wait to visit 🇬🇭
What wisdom 🥰
Many thanks for the clarification Ivy. Look forward to part 2. Plse let me know when you visit Joburg.
Inspirational, thank you
Your production quality and content is superb. Although I’m repatriating from the US to The Gambia, I’m obsessed with your channel b/c the stories and journeys you uncover are universal. This episode is one of my favorites, watching two stunningly beautiful black women living lives they have designed for themselves (via divine inspiration) is everything. Kudos to you both and all the people that support you.
Thank you very much. 🙏🏽 I'm glad you enjoy this video.
Wishing you well on your journey to the Gambia. I really need to take a trip there too.
Ivy you've done it again. I love the fact that you highlight such classy places..her place is beautiful. I live in NY and this reminds me of an upscale wine bar..but ethnically sublime..thank you as usual.. I look forward to you getting 100k subscribers, your content is always great. You definitely seem like you were a journalist or something similar prior. This sister's place is amazing!!
Your comment means a lot. Thank you so much. And I agree that it's like a place you'd see in New York. Most definitely.
such a nice inspirational video, and well done to the sister for creating this thriving business. Would love to visit one day
This interview was truly inspiring, Nadia is such an eloquent and classy woman it was about time Someone great conducted an amazing interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She is truly a wonderful and brilliant woman.
Love it! Can’t wait to visit ...
I just ordered the book in the UK. I was struggling to get the paper version but it did work in the end. I can’t wait for it to be delivered.
Awesome!!
Great interview
Thank you.
What a great interview. Nadia’s perspective is refreshing, her experience in Ghana and the people is heartfelt and complex.
Definitely would like to visit and try one of her wine.
Glad you enjoyed the conversation.
The topics you cover are by far educational and so eloquent that they leave me open and receptive for more. Your positive aura and spirit shows through and it’s such a breath of fresh air. Dja da’nh ghana di bai pa terra mãe specialmenti di vivi na Ghana 🇬🇭🙌🏽😊. BTW, the word “ghana” means “desire” or “want” in my CV dialect/language.
PhArAoH KhAfrA PyRaMiD yes I am aware of what my ascension name Amunet mean dear. That’s the reason why I picked it ☺️ it means SPIRIT (the feminine “invisible/the unseen side of Amun-Ra)
PhArAoH KhAfrA PyRaMiD in my creole language, the word gana, means wanting something. The word “desire” seemed more appropriate to use. The word Ghana has a different meaning in the land where it is used hence the country Ghana. I am also aware of that too my dear. Thanks for the adding knowledge you’ve offered as well. I appreciated it.
Lovely, thanks

@ MORON!
Nice place. I will surely visit someday. Thanks for showing Ivy.
Always welcome
Love it !!
That really amazing
Greetings Ivy Prosper, thanks for sharing the experience herein, I can really relate to the raw power of the Sun AKA RA.... Africa AKA Kemet has always been in the Present.
Always such quality content on this channel. Loving it all the time. The sister rightly said, we should always try & make friends with the locals than just people from diaspora, very important. We do not want this capitalistic mindset to ruin it for all of us when we go to the continent ourselves. Also, very fine, high quality wines, even i though, i do not drink alcohol. I am impressed. Do you mind if i make mention of the outfit? As for this interview what you & the sister wore, were quite elegant, if i say so myself Sister Ivy. Even juice toast match the outfits, class.Peace & blessings.
Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback on the content. I really appreciate it. Also thanks for the comments about what we were both wearing.
@@IvyProsper You are most welcome, sister Ivy, you all inspire us. Respect.
Great quality content 👏🏾✌🏾
Very inspiring and thought provoking! Thank you to you both for sharing this story! Xx
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching.
👍Great conversation!
Inspiring and gracious Nadia!
Ivy, that necklace + African print skirt combo was simply 💋
Enjoyed the program, this has given me more motivation to start my business in Sierra Leone, God willing. and "Sai" is a common Sierra Leonean name for a female.
That's wonderful! Wishing you the best on your journey to starting your business.
Damn Ivy.....you pulled it out the bag with this interview...hmmm....one of the best yet! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Thank you.
@@IvyProsper You are welcome. When I say the best yet I mean I have watched ALL youtubers on this journey (all day every day 8 am to 1 am during the pandemic ) in preparation for my move to Ghana in a couple of weeks. This includes the great Wode Maya. This interview gives him a good run for his money. He won't mind it will just inspire him to step up even more so you all do the same. I know he is mentoring you guys and it is showing.
Going to her event later this month. Once again....well done
Another great upload, with thought 💭 provoking Concert.. This Lady is as such awesome Ideas. I intend to move to the Continent and I believe that you’re videos are very Educational and informative
New to your channel. Love, Love Love. Such great content.
Thank you so much.
You’re looking fabulous Ivy i love love the outfit. 😘😘👌🏾
Keep given us good content ivy, we love you.
That was good conversation with wisdoms and good suggestions. Love you all.
Thank you.
Am not surprised our brothers and sisters are coming home and not only resettling but continuing where they left off with their businesses including our sister and her wine cafe. Big up to Sister Ivy Prosper.
Wow, thinking beyond the normal
Hi Ivy. I'm trying to catch up. You have so many excellent posts!
Oh thank you so much Bia!! I really appreciate you watching the videos. It means a lot. Love you!
wow/ very nice/ congrats!
Thanks Ivy for a lovely upload. Your entrepreneur guest Nadia is very eloquent too and I like the concept as well as the spiritual aspect of her project. Well done . It's worth checking up next time one is home !
Love this episode. Very informative. Great, interesting guest.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Ivy this video is lovelay👌👍🍾
Love her great job❤️💯.. can I add a little suggestions ?Wine goes well with chocolate,I live in New Jersey Atlantic City there is a similar set up here, they use Ghana and Ivory coast cocoa beans to make in house chocolate and is always sold out .
Ghana and Ivory Coast are the world's two biggest suppliers of cocoa in the world, so it's not surprising. Together they supply over 50% of cocoa in the world. Most American companies buy the cocoa and want to process it themselves because American customers want chocolate with the taste of American milk added.
It's a shame that African countries have been ripped off for so long because they are not paid well for their many of their resources which supply the world.
That's so educational, great quality contents , big up higher Ivy, your contribute is so helpful 🤔✌️🙏
the content of this youtube chanel is beyond. Thank you
I appreciate your comment. Thanks a lot.
Congratulations to you Ivy for your viewers. I am happy it is happening for you.! Keep on promoting our own and the whole of Africa.

Thank you Ivy . Thanks 🙏
You're welcome.
I'm loving this
Fantastic interview and very helpful information especially using land as credit. I sense my polar opposite Sagittarius energy from you.
Thanks for watching. YES I loved her comment about using land as credit. I'm sure a lot of people like yourself found that helpful.
@@IvyProsper I'm sure they have, because that never crossed my mind.
Hello Ivy, thank you very much for this video. Wonderful content and inspiring to all. I will surely check the place out on my next visit to GH from the UK.
