      Meaning no offense, but the word Diaspora is reserved only for use of the Jewish Diaspora;
      Webster's New World Dictionary says to capitalize Diaspora only for "the dispersion of the Jews after the Babylonian exile" and for "the Jews thus dispersed." It says to use lower case diaspora for "any other scattering of people with a common origin, background, beliefs, etc."

    I was born in America but my parents are both Nigerian and one of the most amazing things that I love about this video is that she came to Ghana humble but also able to accept to work with Ghanaians to help build homes for others and share her western experience with them. Just because a lot of parts of Ghana or many African communities are poor it doesn't mean they have to stay that way. I am so happy to hear about these smooth paved roads, electricity and solar energy. It is desperately needed. It warms my soul to see Africans and Black Americans working together because that means to me that Africa is less likely to be exploited the way they have been in the past. This is so powerful and I think keeping prices low for Black Americans to make that transition slowly is key. Thank you for this. ❤

    I love this woman’s free spirit. She seems to be very grounded and relaxed. Too bad she doesn’t have enough plants in the space. I’m suggesting that she adds garden beds and boxes made of concrete to in the yard be able to grow flowers and other greenery. It’ll help with cooling during the hot weather ❤

    The cost of the House is now in 2023 $ 100,000 which beats the cost of a " nice house in Agusta, Georgia @ $ 230,000. But, living in Ghana has it's setbacks, since it still is a developing country.But getting in on the ground floor now seems to be an opportunity!

    Really nice home. I love the colors, really love that couch. And 70-100k aint bad I've considered things like this in the past. Moving back to Africa would be nice. My only concern is safety and accessibility to everyday needs. A girl coming from the hood, when i move into my next house the last thing I want is bars on my windows and large fences with wire, and cops wanting money. (Also the issue of not having consistent electricity that I'm paying for.) I've already lived that life i want to live somewhere i feel safe or as safe as i can be. I feel life potentially moving there is like trading problems in a way. I want the mother land feel but i want to feel safe in my house and treated fairly. Being targeted for being American and being overcharged for things. Is just not worth the permanent move in my opinion. Maybe somewhere to visit or stay maybe for a few months but I don't think I could live there permanently.
