- In this video, Coriya takes 17 of her friends from the United States on an unbelievable adventure to Ghana.
This video is a journey not to be missed! From the gorgeous countryside to the vibrant cities, this video will give you a glimpse into the amazing cultures and people of Ghana. If you're ever in this part of the world, be sure to add this video to your list of must-see attractions!

Coriya Burns Falker is a Senior Media Specialist at Radio One Atlanta. She recently brought 17 of her friends from America to experience the continent, Ghana to be precise. You won't believe what just went down when she decided to take 17 of her closest friends on an unforgettable expedition to the enchanting continent of Africa! 🎉
The adventure began with a bang in the bustling streets of Accra, where they explored the rich tapestry of history and culture that makes Ghana so incredible. From the vibrant chaos of Makola Market to the poignant tales whispered by the winds of James Town Fishing & Historical Community, every step was like stepping into a different world. 🏙️
But that was just the beginning! Their pause at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park & Mausoleum had them reflecting on the giants who paved the way for Ghana's independence, leaving them in awe. 🙌
As they ventured further, the haunting beauty of Cape Coast and Elmina Castle reminded them of the dark chapters in history. Standing as sentinels by the sea, these historical sites had us grappling with the painful legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. 😢
They also paid their respects at the Assin Manso slave river, where the weight of history felt overwhelming. 🌊
In Suhum, Ghana, their adventure took a sweet turn as we delved into the world of chocolate at FAIR AFRIQ! 🍫 From raw cocoa beans to the velvety delight of chocolate, they witnessed nature's magic unfolding before their eyes. It was like stepping into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, but better! 😋
And trust me, there were so many more jaw-dropping experiences they had along the way that you won't want to miss! From heartwarming encounters with locals to mouthwatering food experiences, this journey was a rollercoaster of emotions and flavors. 🥘

As a Jamaican raised Washington DC. I visited Ghana 7 times, my first visit Ghana was 2016. The first time I went to Cape Coast and Elmina Dangeon and the slave river, I cried like a baby. 2 years later i purchased 4 acres of land Aburi mountains started building my 28 apartment for rent, why? Because I want to spend the rest my life with future family in Ghana so I married a beautiful Ghanaian lady in 2020. We have 2 kids. I can't be there 3rd week of November this year. Long live MAMA AFRICA and all black people around the world 🌍

beautiful and inspiring
My hometown Aburi is the cool place for habitation indeed! Encompassed with true nature n that serenity , oh my God!
Do you have a UA-cam channel?
Aburi mountains is beautiful.⛰️👏🏽
All African countries is a place to be, I'm about to visit ghana by God's power from Lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬
Yes but there are many things like security , safety, peace etc to consider.
Beautiful 😍
@roynique5218 I've never had an issue with safety in Ghana even walking in the evenings I've felt safe. I'm cautious yes but I feel safer there than in the US
Ghana is not a country, it's home❤
That's right
That's true
Well documented. We welcome them home. Greetings from Kenya.
Thanks for watching
Thank you!
@ODANANETWORK
Thanks for this beautiful documentary 🙏 ❤️
Our people( kalenji) from Kenya 🇰🇪 use those green plants around the neck, plus milk from a guard as a sign of victory as they welcome the Victor's
As a Black American. I admit that I never had the desire to travel to Africa. This video changed that ❤ . So Thank you for sharing with me. Teaching me. I now understand a lot more. Engaging with African people in the U.S, hasn’t been a pleasant experience for me. So it allowed me to be even more bitter towards them. It was when you all went to the slave trade areas. The children singing is what moved and shifted my heart. ❤ Again, Thank you
Accra need infrastructure just like South African and Kenya
Come and build it
@@theophilusarthur2258lol
@@albertwillson5408 we shall get there soon
@@theophilusarthur2258Say that to the politicians u vote for n support blindly
A country with good people ! Ghana
absolutely!
I can feel the peace through the TV. Can’t wait to go one day.
yes yes! It was incredible!
There is no story better told than the rich experience of an individual or group of people telling the story from their perspectives. Truly, a wonderful experience.
Ghanaians are honest, hard working, caring, very motivated and peace loving people. In Nigeria, our organist at church was a Ghanaian, my Surgery professor was a Ghanaian, I have worked with male and female Ghanaian nurses, my colleague at the post graduate school of Public Health in the USA was a Ghanaian. I have always felt that strong bond whenever I met a Ghanaian. I cannot say enough good things about Ghanaians even though they prefer Ghanaian jollof to Nigeria jollof. I pray they continue to have good governance.
🥰
😂 yh jollof
A big thanks to the video editor and chief organizer.As a Ugandan living in Maryland USA this was beautiful seeing my American brothers and sisters going back to motherland paying homage to our ancestors.
Thank you, it was epic!
So wonderful Ghana is slow moving in steps by steps
yes yes
WELCOME TO GHANA 🇬🇭. ENJOY YOUR STAY ❤❤❤❤❤
it was my 8th trip but it was one that they will never forget!
Brilliant, thanks so much. You will be my Sister. God richly bless you. AMEN 🙏
What an amazing adventure! I love that you visited the orphanage and took new items, it's very rare that our babies on the continent get new stuff! I hope you all can stay connected to the school to assist with the students' needs.
So glad to see Odana network back! Africa is healing for us diasporan. And so happy to see you all get your non-citizen cards. All of this is a step towards reunification! Africa Unite - Bob Marley!
I made a commitment to the kids at the village. I want to spend many more birthdays there. It all was so incredible. Can't wait to take the next group
Very quality video and audio. Excellent job @Dentaa
Much appreciated!
Awesomeness! Congratulations and you are a voice for the next generation!
Wow, thank you!
thanks for watching! Would love for you to join us someday
@@justcoriya absolutely 💞
Thank you so much for this. I have returned Nov 2023. This depicts exactly what we experienced. I have told my family members and friends.and we are returning in 2025, and plan to move here. The amazing heartfelt, welcoming. Emotional and spiritual journey is one you will never forget. Love your video. Gratitude 🙏
I'm so excited to hear that! I am currently completing my 13th personal journey and my 3rd group tour. I. have one more this year and 2-3 group trips next year. Let's uplift each other!
I hope our fellow africans realize how excited we are to come to africa and add to the continent and culture, not take away or take advantage. We need the connections to the motherland desperately and we are trying to connect. I'm so proud to see us organizing groups to go back home 😊
I feel the same way. I've already done another group and planning more. As I type I'm home in Ghana for Easter... I still feel welcome 🇬🇭
Truly, that's epic! Great presentation all around.
Thank you kindly!
This is so touching god bless our homeland ghana. Ghana will be better for sure😅😅
We all had a blast and I'm planning to bring more home
A Peaceful home to be is Ghana, A place of love. Home sweet home
Excellent , exciting , it's is great when u can assist the young people
absolutely!
Guys keep coming to Ghana. We love you guys a lot
Are you all going to apologise Ghana and Nigeria for selling your people out .....
I watched the trip to Ghana. The ladies had their hair done and were all looking fantastic and beautiful. I was engrossed watching where the slaves were kept. I enjoyed the trip to the school. I could see the joy in the faces of the men and women. Thanks for your effort. I know it was not easy for planning such a trip.
it wasn't but it was so worth it and I appreciate your attentiveness. I have one more this year and 2-3 group trips next year. The work continues!
Proud Ghanaian living in Northport AL, i miss home but this is so refreshing to watch ❤❤❤
If not for opportunities else where which many not be in Ghana, why would any one leave Ghana
Charley! Say that again!
You all look so happy. I am happy for you all. Please come back again. God bless our dear homeland Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤
Medasse, I just finished another group :)

In he pipe line
This video is such a beautiful expression of Ghana!
Am very much impressed by the creative's behind this video. GUBA ayekoo
Thanks for sharing. Very emotional. Greetings from Suriname🇸🇷❤️
How do I book something like this for me and my husband. I want to go to every place you all went to. Do they have guided tours? How should I reach out to? I am so inspired. ❤
Tears in my eyes
aww thanks for watching
Thanks sister Coriya😢😢😢....I had a great time watching you and your 'gang' savouring the experience of coming back to one of your connections to Africa....this is the shortest one hour video I ever watched😂😂😂. Its been an emotional roller coaster for me though, right from the emotional highs of the trip to the chocolate factory to the sobering and solemn moments of the visits to the castles and the trip to the ritual bath etc. Congratulations to the Ghanaian lady...who seemed to be the coordinator of the whole shebang of activities....my sister "mbo na yɔ"...well done.
I’m in tears watching, Akwaaba my siblings
🙏🏾❤️
Medasse :)
wonderful experience welcome home 🏡 always
Yes, thank you
Medaase :)
Beautiful
Coriya - thank you for bringing/taking your friends! Dentaa, this is probably one of my fave videos of yours....it had "all the feels" - and very educational, as always! 🥰
I am Ghanaian but this video has been very emotional to me. Wonder how those participating in this video feel. Must be very emotional for them.
Thanks Odana for this wonderful content.

Will Ghana give Us citizenship if we decide to move there?
Sure
I visited Ghana in 2022 and going back this year for my wedding and birthday party in Tamale. This party is strictly African American style, so if any Americans are going to be in Tamale in November, let me know.
that's incredible. Thank you!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
To correct some inaccuracies:
There are more than 5 ethnic groups. Museum guide only mentioned the five major ethnic groups in the order of size.. there are about 75 ethnic groups in Ghana.
2. The totem staff is NOT ONLY used by the Akans. The Ga and Ewe ethnic groups use totem staff too
Oh wow, thanks!
@@justcoriya You're welcome
He didn't indicate the totem staff was only used by the Akans. He was speaking to the staffs they had on display.
Ghana!!!!
to the world!
yes, this is how to plan a tourism sector!!!
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love this content . let them promote ghana well
this is awesome thank you for sharing hope to make it ghana one day ❤❤
Try visit mountain afajato in the Volta region
I love the Volta Region but I just didn't have time to take them on this journey. Trust me there will be more :)
They must be taken rural area where they see our pure local, pure lifestyle of an African. Being in the city is the same as where they coming from. This got it wrong by saying our main language here is English leaving all your local languages behind, I even thought he was going to say Akan. Ignoring your lacal language means you are here but you've lost your identity.
We saw many rural areas but only so much can be in one video. I wish we could have shown it all. The majority of the group also took Twi prior to the journey. I personally am on my 3rd level Twi course :) Trust me I try to keep it as authentic as possible and I will learn more and more but the goal is to get my people home!
He has spoken well but I was disappointed when he said the English language is special because it is what binds and unite us . 😢. We love and cherish each other regardless of the English language. Most locals in the rural areas can’t speak English, even in some Cities . We’re peace loving people . Akan language is the most popular language here in Ghana.
@@sadiqnasiru4255Its known as twi so just mention it as it is
Nice place to be
absolutely
Odana thank you for a very very Amazing informative video!! But I wish that you would turn off that loud background music. I struggle to hear your guest speak
Blessings Odana😀
Thank you, I will
@@ODANANETWORK how can I contact you about business?
this made ghana seem more like a mandatory educational school field trip than a country you want to visit for fun. if thats what you guys are going for... cool video i guess.
trust me fun was had ... it was a blast for all!
Welcoming home
Medasse :)
Nice sister 🎉
🥰
When are you going back?
That is nice sister GOD bless you ❤🙏🙏
Welcome home. This is where you belong.❤❤❤❤
yes yes and I will do my part to bring even more home
Awesome keep it up Denta😊
Thank you
How many cry at Elmina castle and at the river of last bath?
all of them - male and female
Beautiful trip 👍
How is the Cost of living in Ghana ? I am interested to find out thinking of where to retire. Thanks for honest feedback
pretty high if you are living in the capital, Any other place is moderate and you Will be fine
My dear,Dentaah,pls,can you advise the salooners to smile a little bit,that's customer care,thanks.
oh charley!! customer service is also a whole topic on its own.. An opportunity to open up a customer service/ hospitality school here in Gh..
Then you better hurry up,b'cos,it's very,very,very important,just imagine,i've won about three or four awards of customer care,been sent to Malta for 7 days with €600 pocket money at the same time as the best Extras in the Casino Royal film with Daniel Craig in 2006 filming.
Welcome back home family
The eii after hearing no jollof rice, sounds so Ghanaian 😂
😂right
I would like to go there
Our Number One Language in Ghana is English,How Can you come again please
I've already done another and now I have 3 more groups this year 🙌🏾
The peace and calm is unmatched!!! You will only understand when you live abroad! Ghana 🇬🇭 is special to me regardless of where am at or find myself in this world
the peace and joy yes yes I love it!
Wonderful video
A Nigerian, I look at Ghana and think Ghanaians don’t know how lucky they’ve been for decades. They’ve had some of their best and well educated as leaders, from Oxford educated Bussia to Mills to Mahama to Kuffour to Addo. You should see Airport Residential, East Legon and Lebune. Good places for African Americans to retire.
thanks
We love you guys too, our brothers from another mother.
Long Live Mama Africa 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Welcoming the diaspora Blacks not only SIGNIFICANTLY improves the economy, but it allows us to introduce skills, equipment, materials, and resources to assist with development. We'll have a greater impact in Ghana as opposed to being another groups' stepping stone to upward mobility in the West
You're free to exclude the last one...🤣
You're right. But for Addo? He's a curse, a demon Ghana has ever had.
Am a Ghanaian and am learning a lot by watching this .a lot of things I never knew
I should say 90% of Ghanaians are ignorant about what really happened in the past that's why most of them see diasporas as strangers but it shouldn't be so. They're our families
Wow, I wish I can bring 17 of my friends to Christ Jesus to see what I see and love .Amen
Amen
Amen ❤🙏
Just to make business in the name of Jesus we know ur type!
Oh pls can you show me where Jesus lives i want to meet him i have heard about this man a lot but i don't know wether He's a white man or a black man 😢😢😢pls help a brother 🙏🙏🙏
As a Nigeria 🇳🇬 I am happy 😊 welcome back my brothers and sisters ❤️
thank you!
Great job choosing to come back home, guys! I'm an African living in Liberia 🇱🇷, I did visit Ghana 🇬🇭 earlier this year, and to be honest, I didn't have the time to tour the country because I went for a summit but the country is nice as well as the people who live there through my little movement and interaction with its people.
I really hope you can return and see it intimately
Am just crying throughout I can't hold my tears the story of blacks people are seriously emotional in terms of the dangerous slave trade ... oooo my God bring back our virtue of liberty; and let love lead
Africa is home we all need to return home for good and only travel around the continent without leaving the border of Africa continent forever ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️ Africa we love you ❤️❤️🇯🇲
Thank you my Sista...I am coming to Ghana December. I see the evidence of some of the things and stories my grandmother thought me in Jamaica about our culture.
Wonderful! Please join our network www.surveymonkey.com/r/GUBADiasporaNetwork
your life will forever be transformed!
Hey there @megghac2239 will be so pleased to have you in Ghana ... if interested we would be pleased to rent out a bedroom apartment at POKUASE HEIGHTS at affordable rate. Kindly let me know if interested. 🙏
The group should have visited Kakum forest reserve, Aburi Gardens and the African Ancestral Wall in Prampram.
Yeah, I definitely agree with you, a lot of people need to *visit* the African Ancestral Wall in Ghana. It is very important that black ppl visit that place. It shows that our people are *very* resilient and that place is so inspirational. It is a good place to learn about all of our leaders who have made a *change* in the world. I hope one day Dentaa can interview the guy who created that Wall cause he is also from the diaspora.
It's was a time issue. I already have another 2.0 trip planned for them :)
@@justcoriyaOK,the African Ancestral Wall is owned and operated by an African American who has been living in Ghana for more than 30 years.
Aburi Gardens is not what it used to be. I hope it gets rehabilitated soon.
And one person i want you to brink him in ghana is ,mario Balloteli, i hope you can do
Mario is being brainwashed to believe his Ghanaians parents abandoned him.
@@steveobeng4444 😭😭
Exactly true .
One Love ❤❤😊😊 One People 👍👍 God bIess our homeland 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
This was so beautiful. My journey will take me to Asia first with my teacher, in December. But, my goal is to eventually plant my feet in African soil.
Respect!❤
You can do it!
May God bless our home land Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 and make e strong 💪💪🤘🤘
Amen
Million pound documentary ..I never imagined, a documentary of a sort could be created... Really breathtaking Documentary. Thanks a lot Dentaa
Our pleasure!
Absolutely! I'm watching it for the 3rd time. I still get chills and I was there lol
