YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I RETURNED TO MY HOMETOWN IN KWAHU - GHANA | LIVING IN GHANA
As a Ghanaian woman of Akan descent we inherit from our matrilineal side. My mother's hometown is Abetifi Kwahu, which is where I am also from. During the easter festivities I made it a point to return home to see my family.
Kwahu is a beautiful part of the Eastern Region in Ghana. Its very popular around Easter time for people to saturate this part of Ghana. Activities you will find here around this time of the year includes; paragliding, hiking, carnivals and street jams. For Kwahu people, it is an annual homecoming, but for holiday travellers it is an occasion for celebrations. There are also performances by various artists. In this video, i am on a road trip to explore Kwahu and all the activities it comes with during Easter.

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.
Let's face facts Eastern Region is very beautiful ❤😊 mostly kwahu, koforidua, and the whole of Eastern Region all the landscape and greenery areas makes it more attractive to live there and of course the fresh air with no toxic energy around 😊
So true 🥰
Not forgetting Akuse, Akosombo etc.
@@NanaKNOwusu of course thanks for reminding me in short we have a beautiful country we need to look after our greenery areas thanks
Love love love this and your tour guides are awesome 😊😊❤❤
What a beautiful story about Auntie Salah and your family. Your tears were tears of good memories and lots of love and appreciation. I love that the spring water flowing through the stream just by the road side is so clean and clear. This is how the rivers lakes and waters of Ghana were not too long ago. Sad what has polluted most of them. I am elevated that at least some clean clear waters still exist.
Jasmine you are really a Kwahu lady, your first instinct was one can package this clean water and sell it. That is the Kwahu business mindset which is very good, no laying around seeking handouts.
Wow the Ramseyer Presbyterian Church at Abetifi! That church has a lot of history on Christianity in Ghana and it’s beginnings. Very powerful missionary work done there by the Basel missionaries from Switzerland.
Òh wow Jasmine! This was awesome. That was very emotional! I loved this. I can relate to going home and revisiting childhood memories❤ So awesome. That's what I love about you Jasmine. A real down to earth young lady for sure. May the Most High continue to bless your life. Give back and enjoy your success❤❤❤
Wooow how amazing is GHANA 🇬🇭, very beautiful landscapes
That narrator in the white smock knows his stuff. One of the best and most knowledgeable I have heard on these Gh Social Media "streets"
Thank you! Am kwahu organic prof! I am Royal from here and i have dedicated my time in learning all the history from here
Wow. She looks good for 80. Melanin is the foundation of youth !
I love your tour guides and the way they tell history thank you❤❤❤
We thank you too
Ghana is not only Accra and Kumasi or Cape coast there are more to that.
kwahu's are business minded people and
they are very rich even in Accra most businesses and beautiful houses are owned by them.
So happy for you Jasmine, there's a quote that echoes in my mind as I grind away everyday, it goes: "no matter where you go, remember the road that will lead you home"
Sometimes re-walking the roads we walked as kids, or being in the environment, or meeting those that we used to see daily, wraps us in the loving warmth of belonging, no matter whether the memories are good or bad, that is where we are from. You feel at home, welcome and in some ways, accomplished.
I'm happy you're able to enjoy that feeling, enjoy your time there and see you in the next video. ❤
❤
WOOOOW!! Stunning scenery!! So so moving. I can surely understand why you're emotional. This is your root. And your grandma has a mansion too!! Hey! W'abɔ bra ankasa ankasa. I'm so proud of you, girl. I've a daughter, your age & well up with pride whenever I see her achievements. You've done so so well in your series but this is the icing on the cake! Wishing you all the best in every endeavour. The ancestors are at peace, for this very visit. 🤞🏾🙏🏾👌🏾👏🏽👏🏽❤ Thanks a mill
❤️❤️
I was emotional as well when I went to my hometown to see grandma first time returning home . Well done and Auntie Salah was awesome and very welcoming 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
❤️
I dnt understand why everyone want to live in Accra Accra . This is purest nature so serene. Amazing God . Beyond peaceful love it 😍 .
I’m so proud to be a Kwahu native.. we are so hard working and successful 😍
so true 🙏🏾
West African really express themselves extremely well I English from UGANDA
This is what happens when you visit home after a long time away.I knew she had to be up in age but I couldn't tell if was that much, it's amazing you remembered her name. Seeing this video makes me want to explode my little island Barbados.
❤️
Wow. It’s very nice to visit our hometowns. It really brings back a lot of good memories from our early childhood. Simple and happy times. Hope your ok Jasmine x
Definitely okay, i was just overwhelmed ❤️❤️
She (Grandma Sala) speaks an impeccable twi.
Shes lived in Kwahu for the most part 🥰
aww, Jasmine, you made me cry too. I will be home later this year and will be doing the same visiting where I grew up.
Jasmine! GOOD MEMORIES bring HAPPY TEARS! Yeah!
❤️
A truly beautiful country 🌱🌿🍃
Ghana is so beautiful and peaceful. Jasmine you are an amazing really doing a wonderful job showing areas of Ghana no one is covering.
My late mom took us to witness the Eco mountain on our way to Obo through Akwasihu and it was memorable experience for me and my siblings
Awesome
Kwahu is very beautiful.....I hope you gave Aunty Sala something 😊
Because it takes you back in time it's a good feelings
Thank you so much, I have not been to this beautiful place in over 30 years. It's tears of joy. Love you
Princess Jasmine nice seeing you again great video ❤
Thank you 🤗
Aunty Salah brought back all of your childhood memories. Very beautiful lady
I know right 🥹🥰
Good Afternoon sister Jasmine. I had not seen this complete video before. Your vulnerability was awesome sister. Loved and felt it.🙏❤️🙏
Jasmine, your heart is overwhelmed with ❤️. Beautiful content today. Blessings to you!😘
Thank you so much!❤️❤️
Beautiful video! I’d get emotional as well Jasmine! TY for your authentic experiences that you take us with you on. S/N: as an American 🇺🇸 idk if I’m drinking the water w/o it being treated 😂 I already have a hard time when a drop of water touches my lips when I’m traveling on the continent 😂😊
Oh yeah uhave to drink only bottled water cos i still do that even after living here for years ❤️
Most of the spring water you buy in bottles in America are untreated in their natural state. When you go to the store to buy one, ask about it
Greatest achievement - is the spiritual liberation of the entire family from Economic slavery dates back fifty years ago. God bless.
Kwahu is so beautiful with such serene landscapes! Thank you Jasmine for sharing such a private moment with us. I was tearing up too. I've experienced the same thing when I went back to my Grandma's home in South Suntreso , Kumasi after so many years. So many lovely childhood memories. Imagine how much more emotional you would have been if you some of your relatives were still living there. 😭 ♥
🥹❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing and giving the knowledge of such a beautiful place. I began to cry also when I saw how emotional you got.💜💜
😫❤️❤️
Wow I was about to do a job, that would have probably hurt my back. Then I saw this video. Amazing, and amazing homes and scenery.
May the good Lord richly bless you
Well Done
JESUS loves you
First here❤
Ok now, Jas you made me cry too. This is so beautiful and emotional. Can’t wait to visit ghana ❤❤❤
Aw ❤️❤️
@@JasmineAmaa sometimes I get nervous about going to Ghana, it’s been 13yrs since I left and trust me, watching your videos has actually pushed me to visit. Thank you for reminding me that, no matter what, ghana is my home and my husband is from kwawu, (tweneduase) I hope I got it right. Continue the good work Jas. Much love to you ❤️❤️❤️
Auntie Salah is so pretty- almost 80? Oh wow.
It's so cool and emotional as well getting back to your roots
Nice one jasmine. U make me cry oo
Aww
Jasmine, Happy Wednesday! Have a great day .
The structure looks the same as my lovely grandmother's house at Impraeso.l don't know who lives there now, none of her Children and grand children reside in Ghana, and we have our own properties in Ghana. She is deceased.
I had happy tears along with you. 😢
Aw 😫❤️
This is beautiful Jasmine Thank you for taking us on tour it felt nice and very educative. I'm from Kwahu myself, Pepease to be precise🥰
Pepease, Twenedurase,Abene ,,Nteso and Abetifi are all Bretuo
Beautiful landscape. Kwahu is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Nice place may construction nice house of different types just so nice place
We love you Jas. Thank you for sharing this beautiful blog with us.
The history was great, the landscape awesome and you almost has me tears.
It really is emotional. Makes you realuse how time flies. Well done Ama❤
BEAUTIFUL Queen👸👑 Ama 🇬🇭is Paradise 🌴🌍💖😍🙏🙏🙏
I just love how down to earth you are. God bless you
Wow beautiful land skap
The scenery is beautiful. Those big homes empty, so sad. There should’ve been a commuter train and other means of transportation for ease of commute from the Eastern Region to Accra, it’s not even that far. Most people probably might not move to Accra and Tema leaving their ancestral homes or hometowns. They could go and conduct whatever business and come home. The place is basically choked. There’s so much space out there that can be utilized. Jasmine the emotional experience you’d was normal response with the connection to your ancestral home.
❤️❤️
I got so emotional last year when I visited Abetifi. Woow memories 😢 Abetifi my beloved home town ❤
Jasmine, It's okay to let out your emotions, It just shows the true you...An amazing and brave lady.. , Luv ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦
The rock like wall is so stunning.
Beautiful place indeed.Thanks.

❤️❤️
Lol. You are funny
Aww❤ I understand the feeling Jasmine ❤
❤️❤️
Ama keep up the good work I just subscribe because you are my hometown girl
Thank u ❤️
Sweet🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Home is where the heart is 💕. Beautiful video and a special place . The old structures remnants of the old world , mountain spring and nature .
This is giving me Blue Mountain vibes, and looks like the same sandstone. Ghana is so big and so much to see.
So so much to see 🥰
When I listen to these people recount their histories, their known histories and compare it to the lostness of many of the diaspora people trying to relocate to places in Africa, I'm filled with a kind of sadness.........Slavery has left its mark on those people especially the BAs. I hope they find the strength to overcome some of the generational trauma and find peace.
I have watched & enjoyed so many of your videos, since I became a subscriber well over a year ago. And, I think this is my first time making a comment. But, there was something so special about this one that made your tears so "apropos" (apropriate in the moment😊), special and so very precious. May the LORD continue to bless you in all that you set your hands to do.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you
So glad! 💕
Love, Light, Miracles, And Blessings Beautiful Queen.🥲. There Is No Place Like Home And Those Memories Of The Love We Grew Up Around.
The Sense Of Belonging Is Overwhelming..Precious, And Priceless And We Are Humbled That You Chose To Share It With Us. 🥰💜. Thank You.

Hahaha ❤️❤️
Ghana bound. 🇬🇭
Aww such a nice video Jasmine. GOD bless you and your family. And the lady in the video looks 65. She looks great for 80, I'm shocked. I don't know if I will ever travel again. But if I do I will try to come to Ghana one day. I'm not sure, I will leave it up to GOD. They say never say never. At almost 42 years old next month. I have to see my motherland before I die. Let's see what GOD will do. Like my dad always says. Have a blessed day Jasmine.
Thanks Richy, hope u are able to travel. Still so much to see 💕
@@JasmineAmaa indeed!! Thanks so much Jasmine.
Am also from Kwahu Abetifi 😊
Heyy ❤️❤️
