Wow!!!! Thank you so much Anna❤️❤️ I had such a great time talking to you!
Really enjoyed this! You both did so well. There's something very relatable about you Marintia!
9ice collab
You are very sweet and humble daughter. You represent the family well and I sure dad and mom are very proud of you. Glad to hear 👂🏾 and see 👀 an inspirational life
Great, I just subscribed are you single 😀 Ezebike@yahoo.com
Marintia you must have a very interesting personality.👍️
The interview with me & Marintia’s dad mentioned will be out next week 😅
I forgot to give you notice my bad !
I don't mean to rush you but... Hurry up would ya!
Nice ... most def. waiting for that
I'll be watching. I'm all for GH content.
really?, can't wait ♥️
My kids went to high school in Ghana 🇬🇭. They came to the university in the USA 🇺🇸. and I'm extremely grateful with their education. Ghana education is great.
Can i ask what schools they went to ?
@Culture Freedom , In my view, American education is excellent beginning in graduate school. For high school, I would go to Africa and then choose a very competitive American college, then cap it with a top notch graduate school. I hope this helps!
@Culture Freedom , I actually know the American education system quite well, I think. I got all my advanced degrees there (in 3 different states); so have 2 of my siblings. I am aware of the disparities in the American education system, but we are not talking about the extremes, we are talking about the norm. There are splendid American high schools of course; but if you were to take the average American public high school, in any state, my contention is that on average, students graduating high school in my country (Gabon) have a stronger curriculum. The same seems to be true in other African countries and the performance of African students abroad attest to this. Where the difference is made is in higher education where Africa is significantly lacking at the moment and the resources of American universities are unmatched even by Europe and Asia. I hope my point is clearer.
@Culture Freedom i seeing you in the comments section mad like chill, it is true what they are saying American universities are great and got more opportunities but when it came to graded school and high school it is tougher in africa what do you think a lot African students in America are in honor rolls and going to Ivy League school. When I first came here I thought it was super easy too. When I use to go to school in Togo🇹🇬 damn school was a bitch but still like tho, I use go to school by 6am by 7 am you are late and you get punish maybe they change it now, we will go home at 12 am sleep a little bit and go back to school at 2 pm and came home by 5 pm if you failed a years your stay in that class until you pass it meaning you can stay in that class for 5 years without moving to another grade, we have exam at end of the year and it they hardest exam of the year which will decide if you’re staying that class or moving ( ex of exam: bac (that one of they hardest ) if you pass it that mean you are going to university during the announced the results, you see a lot of people crying of joy or because they fail and they have to stay in that class, and it celebrated too when my brother pass the Test they will put baby powder on you it like a celebration for passing the test) and they do they same exam in France too, you type on UA-cam you will see how stressful it is because it your future you’re dealing with. We are rank in the class through our work and dare not be the last. Dare not talk to your teacher in disrespectful way I was shocked when I came here. And you can’t use any note on quiz, test, exam you are taking. So yay it was though I use to be so happy when we don’t have school. That pretty much they average school system some public school are even harder.
Mrs. Acheampong, your interviewing style is laid back and structured in a very easy to watch kind of way. Please don’t change your style. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
❤️
@@AnnaAcheampong hi vanessa thank you you interesting video. I'm african living in japan since 1996. A father of 3 hafu or mix kids. Of japanese african. Lots of love from: japan.
Vanessa i'm sorry for the mistake. Thank you for your interesting video. Sayonara.
What she was saying about school in Canada is very true When I left Ghana to come to the US, I realised that it was super easy.
Very interesting conversation. I know of a Ghanaian man, an Ashanti called Mr. Agyeman, who married a Japanese woman in the 1960’s. They did not have it easy. The beautiful, sweet woman’s family never accepted the marriage. They had a handsome son.
Since being here in the 🇺🇸 USA,Ghana education has really helped me a lot am now a nurse.Ghana education grills you by the time you get home,you will be too tired but once u travel outside it does help a lot and I’m very grateful for that.
She's very down to earth. She'll make it 🥰
I am totally surprised why no Ghanaian TV has rushed to offer you a job as a host yet. You have great TV host persona. Your interviews are so pleasant. I am waiting for you to interview former President Jerry Rawlings. His father was also Dutch.
Aahw thank you so much 😊
Rawlings’ dad is from Scotland.
@@mamat3775 Yes exactly.
Liar.His father is from Scotland
How ironic I'm reading this now when we just lost our Papa J😭
I am A Black American and my wife is Japanese. We got married in 1979. Her parent also did not approve and they disowned her/US for years. It wasn't until we had kids that they finally accepted us. So...there were others as well. I have Several friends that also had Japanese wives in those days.
@nelson Lea Fuck off! There were no black women here back in the day. Have you ever been out of your state? Grow up.
I love Marintia, I feel shes been brought up well. Shes so confident behind the camera
I can relate with Marintia's upbringing so much. I am originally from Cote d'ivoire, but I went to an international high school for 2 years in Norway when I was 16years old. (Visited Ghana for 1 month in 2013, France for 1 month in 2014, and Germany for 1 month in 2012). Then I Went to college in the USA for 4 years, then worked there for 1 year ( visited 7 states during my 5_year stay in the usa) moved to canada about a year and half ago. It is a great experience, but it surely has some negative aspects to it.Will do it all over again though! ;)
She is very sharp, gorgeous and a lot of clarity in her trend of thought.
I don't know while i love this girl so much Marintia,the way she talks keep it up sis we love you so much
chewer!
@@maxk5831.......chewer indeed !! 😂😂
So Ghanaian, the way she speaks.. typical Ghanaian😅.. i love it!
In Ghana even if you are a Ghanaian and light skinned people sometimes call you "obroni" which is not offensive but rather a compliment
When melanin call you a name it's not really bad in the sense that they are superior to you , it's just our way of seeing someone different. Not with hate or prejudice
Obroni is same as oyinbo or onye ocha in Nigeria, right?
@@incrediblestevrhymz2260 yes
That’s absolutely a good interview!! My 2 kids are Half-Ghanaians/Half-Japanese too. I brought the first one to Ghana in 2017 and she loves it there but unfortunately I can’t leave her there
This young girl is rich her parents did great God bless
You interview style is very soothing and your transition to the next question is like a good dj changing a song, keep up the good work.
I love her statement.
"Especially in Ghana. So many problems that should not be problems are problems in Ghana"
I understand that statement so well.
I am building a business as a young Ghanaian but some petty petty issues that should not be problems are even making things more difficult. Oh gosh
Had working parents, Great Hotel I bring my friends from the 🇺🇸 to this hotel all the time. Their Breakfast Buffet is super wonderful!!!
Anna you're balancing looking after the children and working very well, the children are seeing you more than I think if you were in the Netherlands working. The children are enjoying themselves, especially Micah, if in doubt just look at how Micah is enjoying Ghana. There's no need for any guilty conscious. The children will also remember the good times they had while in Ghana while growing up. So carry on building that empire for their future
You two looking so pretty. Happy you enjoy staying in Africa
Very humble personality and her parents should be very proud of her 👏👏👏👏
It's a blessing to have parents teach a great work ethic, by leading by example. You will do great in life. Great interview 🖤🔥🥳
I think with time you should have your own TV show. Cuz the way you handle interview is something else. You see your being in Ghana is opening you to some other skills. You guys are soo beautiful. 😘😘
Marintia you were really disciplined to study hard on your own. You did well not betraying your family’s trust with how much freedom they gave you at a very young age. You did very well and continues to be great!
You’re so good at interviewing. You’ll be the next Oprah in no time. Keep up the great work.
🥰
I know right !! I thought it's just me noticing this she's really good at it
A lot of the things Marintia experienced are common for (but not limited to) mixed/international families I think:
- exposure to 'real' cultural differences at an early age
- the child gains 2 cultural lenses instead of one which
- makes it hard/challenging growing up but it molds you (for the better in most cases) in a unique way
- when you see your parents sweat, you're not inclined to be a big mouth burdening brat to them
- you get an international view of .. well LIFE, whereas a locals who don't even travel spout crap like "We #1!"
- maturity, perspective, appreciation, respect, humility (these traits go far globally)
Good vlog - keep using your powers for good.
i like the way you guys support each other...wode, vanessa, marintia and mrs. achampong👍🏿 keep it up✊🏿
To borrow Ana's words, "that was very nice" 🤗
😊
I like how y’all are collaborating with each other pushing out this content...it’s awesome!
Loving the lifestyle journalism format, Interview was amazing, very fluid transition between questions without hesitation and great follow ups to the interviewee. Loved it.
Thank you 😊
After Wode Maya interviewed Vanessa, goto & Anna I knew this was coming up eventually . Am so glad this collaboration materialized.
AFRICA Is too Beautiful 💕🇹🇿 🇬🇭
Love the content on this channel. Excited to watch you grow!
Great content 👌 love your interview technique. Keep on growing mama Africa 😊 however must say that good quality time with children is very important in this day and age... I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your children but just a thought 🤔 God bless
Awesome video! Your videos are very realistic and relatable.
You're doing great job for Ghana.
You make feel a proud Ghanaian 💗💗
I love Marintia and I watch her videos quite often. So happy to see you both link up. Marintia keep up the good work. I hope you are enjoying your semester off in Ghana. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you ☺️
Beautiful to see you two together. Good job guys.
Great interview, thanks for allowing us to learn more about Marintia!! Anna, you have a gift of interview, getting people to feel comfortable about telling their story.
Anna you’re really good in interviewing. Amazing story! I learned a lot from this video. 🥰
Very nice discussion. I loved it big time. Thank ladies👍🏾
First time seeing this very informative interview. Great interviewing skills Mrs Acheampong. And Marintia, you are smart and very well rounded. Kudos to you both!!
I’m glad you guys are having and living your dreams with your African Conection. I also saw your friend Scottish/Ganian who is beautiful as well. I hope you all are Comfortable financially as well. Much love!!!
Greetings Queen Acheampong, thank you for hosting this interview with Marintia, the daughter of Millions Aires in Ghana, she is such a doll and very open minded UA-camr, can wait to see the interview of her father with Vanessa Kanbi once released. Thanks for sharing....
What beautiful ladies..Much love Anna ,Kevin and Kids,much love to u guys from the Caribbean.
Very relaxing to watch this conversation. You're both so beautiful ❤.
Very very nice. I love how you collaborate with the other UA-camrs, I happen to be subscribed to her as well. She doesn't post too too much though. Oh well. But she's very nice🤗🤗. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
This was nice.I like your laid back easy manner.Maybe it's because you're compatriots and know each other,but I think you do Ghana proud. Good job...
I love this interview. Give us more
Marintia I admire your accent. You are a very beautiful and interesting person. Keep being positive.
Actually very good public high schools in the US send more students to Ivy League schools. I can mention Richard Montgomery High School in Maryland, Newton North and South High Schools in Newton Massachusetts, and Thomas Jefferson High School in Northern Virginia. There are many others. Not only do these public high schools have a lot of their students go to Ivy League schools, they also get into highly selective universities worldwide. It all depends on where you live and the public high schools you go to.
I think It is how much a town, city, or county invest in it’s public schools education that really makes a difference. GIS is great and there are many international schools in Ghana which do not produce the same results such as top tier ones such as GIS and SOS.
She is just so beautiful in and out. Actually both of you and wholesome too
This is a great video. The old concept of how one becomes rich or leave a legacy for the future. As the lady said it is based on hard hard work. One generation basically has to sacrifice for the next. I could read your face as you were evaluating. You are still young and can indulge for some time....at some point one may ask: is UA-cam all there is?Hope you picked up some nuggets to add to you tool box to rev your engine of ambition. We are behind you! 😀
Nice interview, spot on.
Great interview.
Great interview
Anne your great, thank you for the post
Anna from other videos I'm confident to say that you need to work on your dreams. Don't stop oo. The children also need a satisfied mom. Balance is key. Your children are an integral part of your channel so they are essentially bei g groomed in your business
This was a great interview.
This was a great interview 💯
This is a great video interview-- you should be a journalist/ reporter Anna.. You ask very intelligent questions....
Yess i love her channel❤
Waiting for my own interview too soon😂
Wow wonderful story
Wow small world I always pass by the hotel wow amazing
Nice interview
Goto-William you need to promote that Hotel more in your videos. Use it as an introduction on your videos. I love the design.
Awesome!!
i love Acheampong family
Beautiful ❤️❤️ Love this ❤️💯
grounded beautiful lady, wish her all the best.
Beautiful interview. Hello Marintia
Very smart woman. Nice interview.
Big up to you Sister Anna and Sister Marintia both of you my sisters are so beautiful as well as inspirers.
Marintia is soo cute, and she sound more Ghanaian, she was like 'ah so'. i jx love yur Marin
You seems to be very good interviewer! Keep it up 👍
Nice interview.
So glad I watched
Loved Ghanaian Educational system
@Culture Freedom how many of them leave. Stop generalizing everything.
@Culture Freedom perhaps research the history of Ghana in the 90s and early 2000s and you will understand why the middle class send their kids to school abroad
Yep! Toughens you for any eventually.
Edit: but needs to upgrade further.
Africa is the future ✊🏻
I saw this girl for the first time being interviewed by Wode maya some time back....she is lovely..I like her..
Leuke interview. Groetjes vanuit Almere
Good interview
Great and interesting interview. I have subscribed to both channels.
Welcome to the family ❤️
Love Marintia she is cool ❤🧡💛
This interview I watched twice filled with genuine interesting informations. This lady that was interviewed is so lovely and she has so much to give to youths of her age.Anna good interview. Keep it up
Love you guys ❤️💛💚
Yeah I know her. This is so interesting watching. Speaks more like a Ghanaian
What an awesome interview. Loved it, great to see Ghanaians collaborating and supporting each other. You and your guest are both inspiring people, you will achieve greatness.
@nelson Lea Both ladies have Ghanaian heritage, they each have a Ghanaian father. Marintia actually grew up in both Japan and Ghana and attended high school in Ghana.
I enjoy your program
In my opinion, African secondary education is second to none. I am from a francophone country (Gabon) and if you go to the best French, Belgian, or Swiss universities, they are full of brilliant francophone students. I went to university in the US and my college freshman math curriculum was what I had learned in 10th grade in Gabon. I was scoring 100% in every test and my American friends thoughts I was a genius; but I simply had learned the material years earlier in Africa. I hope Africa will keep that advantage.
Thank you for the insight
@@AnnaAcheampong I love the interview ..am intrigued....much love from 254....new subi..!!
metal work for building
