This is nice, but the title of the video is misleading. She speaks only a brief moment on how she mastered the Twi language. As I study Twi I am jealous that she is such an exceptional speaker, but also it encourages me to think I can master it, but it is tough. It is worth it though because I love those I know in Ghana. As an American I only first visited Ghana in 2017 and I never knew there could be such a lovely people on earth. It is hard to put into words how the people of Ghana make you feel in your heart and soul. It is so beautiful. I miss being there every second that I live.

This is exactly the kind of offspring i'd like to have if i go interracial as Ghanaian

[@johnsnow5400]

Why is this news? I wonder if anyone has taken the time to check this girl's family background to make sure that she has no enslavers in her family? (this is particularly relevant, given that she is American).
This pathetic fawning over her, as though she is some sort of Messiah, is cringeworthy at best - at worst, shows something more malignant in the Ghanaian psyche. A lot of Ghanaians (and by extension, Africans on the continent) are appalingly ignorant of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, America's role in it, and it's continuing marginalization and oppression/discrimination of black people - were that not the case, she would have been met with an altogether different reception when she arrived in Ghana.
It is not entirely inconceivable that her ancestors would have had no qualms (and possibly actually played an active role) in enslaving and brutalising the ancestors of the same ignoramuses fawning over her. People really should read a history book, learn from the past, believe in themselves and stop looking for validation from White People.

...and the point in hating her would be?

[@ninaat4873]

Wahz your point. Do you know the number of Ghanaians in other countries who are speaking their languages. For your information if you are in another country and you speak their language the people feel proud. Abrantie travel and have some experience wai.
Hating won't help

[@owusudaniel2695]

@@isaaca6445 I wonder

[@empresszaire2305]

I speak French and English. Will the white people give me props for speaking their language like how Africans are giving her props? This is nonsense and I'm not even hating on her.

[@isaaca6445]

No because you speaking French and English is far far more common than her speaking twi! Why can't people see logic?

[@daddigodwill3137]

U have a point.
