    The younger aunt in red & white polka dot jump suit is on point. I’ve been in Amerikkk for 57 years. Ghana might not have the infrastructure of America but the people of Ghana is warm & loving.

    Im not sure why your Aunt questions keeping Kanbi as part of your names. Its very common even in the west to hyphenate married with maiden names. Moreover...the name is very pronounceable like your other Aunt said. Id keep it too😊

    Beautiful interview with your aunts. I understand their love and need to return home even though they've built lives in the US. I have traveled extensively, including throughout East, West and South Africa. I even lived in Kenya for 3 years. I am "Black" American with considerable Indigenous and European DNA but West Africa is the ancestral homeland of the majority of my forefathers with almost as many coming from England, Scotland and Ireland. When I visit any of these places, I definitely feel an affinity, as though my ancestors were calling out to me. However, it always seems that the sun shines brighter, the water is wetter and the air is sweeter wherever you call home. For me after being well over 400-500 years removed from the continent, home for me is the U.S.
