Am praying for back to Europe movement so Europeans can go back to Europe and leave us alone
Southern African I feel your pain
😂😂😂😂😂 I yes!! Yes!!!! Lolol I'm rolling at this one. I'm right with you!!
😄😁😆😅🤣😂
😂😂😂😂 Good one, had me rolling. Sorry melanin Botswana, we Southerners have too much of a good thing going for us plus being friendly, peaceful and having great weather. I don't see them voluntarily going back to their frigid homes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am a Ghanaian married to my African American wife here in the States.She see the motherland as jungle and don’t want to go back home with me. I can not trade my royalty for chaff, my culture is like religion to me.Her eyes is beginning to open that for over 50 years she’s been brain washed. Long live Ghana 🇬🇭 the gateway to Africa.
Do you blame her? Don't you tell her how dirty some places can be. Don't you tell her how flooding can destroy houses and properties every year? Don't you also tell her how the police can shoot live bullets into protesters which results to deaths? Don't you also tell her how some police officers are arm robbers who are happy to kill you when they are robbing and make eye contact with a person who recognizes them?
Start showing her more of Wode Maya's videos about the Africa that mainstream media never air.
Show her Netflix shows like “how to ruin Christmas” or blood & water” they are South African shows. But show africa in a different light
African American people must be educated of Africa
Seperate from your enemies. Forgiving und loving your enemies is stupid. It wont change them
it shows a lack of intelligence at a certain point and it teaches them how you want to be treated, to a certain extent anyway, if you look at the repeated offenders "he demented doers and the " I fo giv yall... love love love"
In Ghana, They do not hate wytes. One can forgive and keep distance. One can stay proud and pity their ignorance.
@@annrose8469 It's not so much about hating whites, it's about taking the proper precautions to prevent what has happened to Africa and Africans over the past 400/500 years from ever happening again. We're too quick to forgive and forget. The Chinese have never forgiven or forgotten about what they call the Century of Humiliation and look at where they are today? About to topple the USA economically, militarily, and geopolitically.
How many have taken part?
Forgiveness is not about them. Forgiveness is for you. Keep your countenance clear of frustration, grudge, anger, hate~
As a Ghanaian I am very very proud this siater. Sudanese Somalian Ugandan we are all one. Love you all and stay blessed.
So lovely to see this type of effort continued. Helen and Ali Salahuddin did this for decades to Ghana and KMT through African Genesis Institute with a council of elders, and Brother Ali recently transitioned. My son took the journey to KMT with them at age 13 and has traveled the continent every since. Continued success to Birthright Africa!
23K registered with no advertisement! Bravo... this is so needed. Our next-gen is starving just like we Gen X and Baby Boomer BIPOC are starving for TRUTH! Thank you for this work!
This woman is *GORGEOUS!* 😍
She exudes divine feminine energy and her ability to connect our people, build community & nation, as well as educate our young people is extremely attractive and heartwarming! 🖤
Who is she?
Extraordinary! This is what is needed for us to reclaim, connect, grow, and rise together.
This channel need to have 1million subscribers !
11 people disliked this vid? Seriously? I watched it to the end and it was so powerful and visionary. Thanks guys for the content.
Some people in this world don't like anything no matter what?
@@Surestart106 true
Those might be mzungus who dont want to leave Africa.
You'll be surprised by how many African Americans who are brainwashed to think very little of Africa and Africans so they don't want anything to do with.
Some believe they're native American 🤣🤣
I chose to work in the public sector for a few reasons I got to work in a place where people that looked like me are the majority, little to no assimilation, and no one has a problem if you wear yr fro, dreads, are not Christian etc. I knew I wouldn't make it in corporate America because I don't laugh at their jokes if they're not funny, I speak up, I prefer to have my lunches alone, and I don't want to spend my off time with coworkers.
I like that attitude.
You call that comfortable in your own skin, LOVE that mentality🤩🤩🤩🤐🤐
How can I go? I don't want to be left behind, I want to go to visit and start a transition for permanent stay.
The vision of Marcus Mosiah Garvey is comming to reality 🙏🏿👍
Thank you both for the work you are doing actively connecting our people back to their rightful home...As a Senegalese I feel when any African comes back home; it's a victory and even more than that; it's a Blessing.
Deeply intelligent and insightful conversation. Thanks for this great interview...
It seems most people glow when they touch the soil of Ghana, and y'all are glowing so much. It's inspiring. I'm on my way to Ghana next month.
Thanks.
I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers and views! Love your content and l hope more people catch on. My dream is to relocate to a country on the African continent, but l have a long way to go. Your content provides great information and motivation not to give up on my dream. All the best to you.

People want dirty fighting, cutting up each other, when it comes to important information they are blind, most of them want sleeze
Yt shadow ban Africa content creators
I am so proud of our young men and women who saw the vision and growth of the mother land. I cannot wait to make that trip on my bucket list. Have to make the visit and will be soon. I'm a retiree and so ready for living the life of simplicity. No more Hussle and bussel. Just want to sit in my garden and plant. Thank you both for this TH-cam connection. Love and light.
Yess
Great venturistic wonderous wonders with the back to Africa movements.
No African needs a DNA or any colonial POLITICKING to be deemed an AFRICAN, PERIOD.
Why not stop " YOURSELVES BLACK AND JUST ACCEPT BEING AFRICAN!"
African! Peter Tosh'
Take a listen to that rooted classic tune and you'll get it and more importantly, overstand that until Africa is respected, no one BLACK or WAKANDIAN otherwise known as Africans to the bone MARROW shall be respected.
You read like someone who believes Western and Asian countries will simply allow melenated people to.live peacefully amongst natural resources they seek to make their and their constituents' lives easier.
What African leader is not owned by the IMF and other resources profiteers?
This is no more than another, "dream". The, "American Dream", has failed so lets all move to Africa and see if it comes to fruition over there.
Get real.
Africa is the right place to retire and connect back to your roots.
Mozambique is Afrika too please... We look forward to having you here.
Love this interview. Love what the lady is trying to achieve. I wish her every success
Thank you are Sister 😇😊🇬🇭
I am needing to connect with you before booking for Africa. My house is going on the market presently. My brothers are actually waiting on me. Being the Patriach of the family. We are British, Jamaicans and Americans citizens. We are all mature families who love our heritage and stations in life.
Where in Africa?
Good job our ancestors will reward you
This woman is a power pack of intelligent.with good intentions i just got to listen to her more.she she is super good
The wooden car on the table... Brought joyful tears, it's called "A-roll-glass". One of the last generations that saw it in action. I wish they could bring them back for tourism.
Was it just a toy or a model of something used in real life?
@@E.P.7131 Funny, It was the main means of transportation;- locally & national. It was used until early 90s.
I personally remember using one in 1996, I was abt 11 then (hired one to move my dad's office belongings), wasn't common then...
Ghana tourism board has reintroduce a double decker bus, that was popular also, but, the wooden truck brings more memory n history.
@@kofisugar that's actually a brilliant idea. If you have the means, please make it happen. Don't wait for someone else to do it. I believe they were also used in Jamaica back in the day, but it's much more original than the British double decker bus that's being used for tours in Accra now
@LAST WILL BE THE FIRST In Ghana, we know our history more than you think. Our history can't be found in any book. Just visit the palace to hear the real history.
@LAST WILL BE THE FIRST , 😂😂😂😂😂. Your last comment got me laughing
You have gotten it, thanks, if africa can perceive about 1000 person's like you then I think, africa will be marking a positive head waves in every prospectives, God bless the of africa and the continent of africa Amen.
I could not help but notice that she did not mention Marcus Garvey?
Wonderful testimony and revelation for Africans to join and learn their real history. Thanks for sharing this message. Have you a UK opening soon even for African children born in the West. Also how can African diaspora help support this movement of life.
African children born in the west? You don’t have family in Africa you can send your child to? And how many times have you looked at the people who have been scattered by slavery and scorned them, and now you are looking for a free trip? Ask your African economic migrant community to sponsor your child. Furthermore I am certain that if we were to receive reparations for slavery you would also beg for some of that money too! I will not forget how you Africans have treated us in the west until every scattered child of Jacob is redeemed from their enemies. You all need to check yourself!
What is her name?
@@brownlawgirl bruh chill. You probably working for a white owned company right now. How can we hold a grudge against people in Africa while participating in WS system here in the West. It goes to show how tone deaf my FBA community can be.
I had the same feeling when I came to Africa..I pray to get there again..💙🙏
That's a good interview thanks for sharing . I am so happy to see our people connecting around the world in the diaspora and on the continent
Back to Africa, When were you their the first time[1828 definition of American]
Don't mind them.
Akwaaba, karibuni Alkebulan, to all the melanated people.
Melaneted poeple are almost all over the world not just in Africa and blacks in Americas.
Am so happy our people coming home
A huge understanding that can aid the reality is being given the knowledge of how the African were the ones that the Europeans were given their own enlightenment from ! For 8 Centuries they brought many new realities to them !!
Excellent interview!!! Sharing this information...thank you for the wealth of knowledge you are providing to the Diaspora!! I hope to visit the continent in the very near future!!
Oh boy Tim. It's really tiring you're right. It's even hard when your manager who's a minority is afraid to speak up for the entire team. Really frustrating!
Great interview family much love ❤️ One Ghana 🇬🇭 One Africa One World Peace to the World 🌍
I WANNNA GOOOOO!!!! PLEASE PLEASE SEND ME!!!!
Hello! Seriously, this is one of the BEST interviews I've done this year! You have to watch the entire segment. I promise it's worth it! Drop a comment and let me know your thoughts! First time here? Please subscribe and like the content.
THANK YOU Tim Swain for this terrific interview! I've liked and I've subscribed.
ANYTHING African related is of interest to me. I've been interested in and researching Rwanda, Ghana, Botswana, Tanzania and now Namibia as possible countries to relocate to after visiting them.
My son went to Cape Town and Johannesburg two years ago and LOVED it, so I hope that my continued efforts to get him to also relocate to the African continent will be successful.
I have a fellow New Yorker friend that retired from the MTA and moved to Ghana and is now living like he and his wife had never lived in NYC, like a King and a Queen on their own compound with a large main house and two additional buildings. I might not achieve that or have the good fortune, but that's alright as I'd be living in the country of my choosing where the citizens, leadership, police, and everyone else looks like ME. I can't wait to get the eff out of this evil hateful country (the United States) that's NOT our country and I NEVER say "our country" as it ISN'T and never will be. I can't wait to get to Africa....
I needed to hear some good news and what I heard here is definitely things I like to hear. love from Togo
Another great interview with a brilliant black woman... The content is excellent...please keep it coming✊🏾🇬🇭
Hello Tim, I love watching your videos, always contains good, informative and beneficial contents. Many thanks for sharing the presentation by Walla Elsheikh with us. This is so good for all African Americans in the diaspora, and for our Brothers and Sisters all over Africa, and the world. I feel it, and I am also of African decent in the UK, and I am making my way back to Ghana where I have roots. I wish both you and Walla the very best in the work that you are doing, and remain blessed 🙏🏽
Most present day Ghanaians migrated from Sudan. The sister is really in the midst of her people.
Yeah, it's true some migrated through Sudan. If you are a Ga, during the Homowor Festival, there's a particular dance session done by shuffling from foot to foot, balancing the shoulders from left to right, known as 'Ash Kpaah. With a matching song the lyrics of which is a narration of their various stopover stations from Egypt, Israel, and Sudin aka Sudan, through Sumangura, and the Ghana Empire. That's why Kwame Nkrumah and the founding fathers renamed the Gold Coast to Ghana. Now the meaning of 'Su' is earth, dust, and 'Din' is black or dark. And if you see most of the people in that region, they are of a darker in complexion. So you could be one of the seeds they planted wherever they stopped over. Welcome home. PS. Wow! I just finished my comment when I had not heard everything to the end. As I was trying to listen to the end, Boom! you brought in your connection to the Ga tribe by your name. Amazing. So I just edited..
No they didn’t the came from North Africa like Nigerians
@@isaiah7640 Sudan is considered Northern Africa
I love this initiative
greetings from rwanda we would like to connect with the organization
Now your talking, i support the movement 10000 percent.
May God bless your efforts and ambitions
🤫🤫🤫Don't say it loud, where do I sign-up for the free trip.... Lool, just kidding. I wish the younger generation will get more place.
That was a big warm hug lol😄👌🖤
I have subscribed brother. We love you.
Mr. Tim this running thing is working good on you.
Wonderful presentation and great initiative that should be implemented in every country where the diaspora resides. I hope that this program can be implemented in Trinidad & Tobago sometime in the near future.
I'm from Trinidad and Mr Best we as Trinidadian I would of liked to see some of the promenant movement should take up the mantle to get involved and expose our youth to the African continent it will lift their self-esteem.
Oh wow!! This is interesting.
Africa for the Africans!B1✊
Excellent video. Wow very impressive. Plus the food is so organic and so fresh.
Awesome stuff! wishing you guys every good luck and safe journey on the move 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛🇬🇧🇬🇭
Awesome, thank you for sharing. Sis I love what you are doing. Tim, thank you for highlighting these stories. Its appreciated and needed. So excited to hear and learn more. After my trip to Africa it too made me feel connected as well.
Congratulation too brother, keep it on and I holp you should train some africans that are willing to become pilots, God bless you, God the people of africa and the continent of africa in Jesus name Amen.
Intelligent woman
Hi Tim always giving us great 👍 contents
FIRST COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!
I need to move home to Africa.I need help to move to Africa
Greetings Brother Tim
Big up to our sisters that are doing their own things.
They shouldn’t allow jealousy and hate get to them.
Ase
Remember it doesn’t matter where you are in Africa, it’s my home as well as Tim’ and the rest of our family in the world.
How can I support this project ?
Hey Tim Swain there’s a in Ghana called Abuti, woda maya visited there recently and it used to be a dump refuge before a diasporas came from Artist came in there and turned it into a beautiful park, this place has story that dated year before Jesus Christ, I believe that place this place has more stories and I can’t wait to go there myself .
@Margaret Amonu, there is no place called Abuti. I think you mean Abetifi in Kwahu.
Is that the place where the lady donated $10k to Wode Maya?
@@queenofsheba357 Yes....that's the place.
Me too
@@QueenBee-so7rt I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news but PLEASE do your due diligence before you go to Ghana! I was there last week and I came home five days early! Ghana is NOT what it’s cracked up to be! The people made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome! They stared at us like we had 💩 on our forehead and they overcharged us EVERYWHERE we went! Hopefully your experience will be better than ours but they can’t give me a free trip back there 🤷🏿♀️
I want a back to Europe movement just as much as I do a back to Africa movement.
Gosh, this is so thoughtful!
Grt interview Tim !
So much love this
You are always on point bro.
❤️ Beautiful Blessings
Look those homeless black peoples of all ages is heartbreaking in the US interior policy is not fair , African countries are not that Rich like the US🇺🇲 but not homeless , thanks ❤️
There is homelessness on the continent. Stop being silly. I’ve seen it.
Welcome back our brothers and sisters let us build our continent together
Very informative video. Great job!
Very informative 🌷💐🌷
Wow very good. You increased the production quality. Great
Hi. Thanks. I appreciate this. New subscriber.
I found out about this organization last year. I forwarded the information to my daughters to apply but then the pandemic hit. Thanks for this video. I'm excited to learn about her vision and will definitely tune in for the 9/29 event.
Great video
Great interview! Africa goes beyond the continent of Africa to include all people of African descent the world over. I believe all Africans have a common destiny and identity, "claimed" or "imposed". Africans all over the world should view themselves as one dynamic social ecosystem of people, cultures, believes and attitudes that could be harnessed toward the development of all. Any positive perception of Africa and Africans stands to resonate and reflect on the image of the continent and its people the world over.
Hmmm!
the problem with Black History is that no matter how you tell it, it ends up the same way. A vision of Our Future is really what's lacking for Black Youth Worldwide!
Amazing Amazing Amazing...give thanks...
Love from Rwanda,
Great concept, but the conversation re. office politics detracted from the most important idea that brought me to this video. I was in Ghana a couple years ago, and experienced all the history, culture and warmth you showed and spoke of... js
It is my desire and intention to return to West Africa. I see it as our generations last best hope to work/build our way out of our current condition.
HEY , WHO TRIMMED YOUR BEARD...its nice !!!
Ghana is a beautiful country, I knew the continent of Africa had a lot to offer but never did I imagine God had hidden paradise in Africa. I am disappointed that Ghana has removed itself from the critical role that it played in slavery. They don't teach the people in Ghana about slavery. 5hey're clueless and don't understand why black Americans flock to Ghana to see where slavery started.
Our folks don't want to hear this .We're looking for a savior, safe home while many Africans are trying to leave.Just a note start learning mandarin and PLEASEEEE don't romanticize relocating to Africa.By all means go visit many times before deciding
Like Jamaican food, fresh and super healthy.
Fortunately, our ancestors were already here before the Europeans invaded. Historical truth is never the result of historical falsehood, only deception.
How can I be part of this movement?
you guys are special
This woman is beautiful!!! I hoping my wife will come with me once I find my roots...
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This lady is doing a wonderful job I'm getting ready for the day to leave the west

Tim bro good job we love your content 🔥🔥❤🙏🏾👍🏾
I'm a senior can I go back to my homeland?
Of course you cab. You can go anywhere you want to.
@@CH_HBCU-Xperience i have been wondering how I can get to Africa the right way. Could you give me a hand with this project? what do I do next and thank you!
@@lyndagates2917 The continent of Africa is so big, there are so many options. What I would start with first is what you are doing, simply keep watching videos of the different countries in Africa. Take notes about the videos. What do you like? What looks exciting to visit? Then start a list of the many tour options available, there are many. In the meanwhile, make sure you have your Passport ready, or start the process to get it Once you have your passport and money saved, reach out to one or two of the tours and they will help you with the process.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want my brother to go on this trip !
