Ghana is just a beautiful place to me, and no one can change my mind. Love the peace more than anything else. I walk around peacefully all the time.
Thank you ✌🏽💜❤🇬🇭
That's because you stay in your compound.
@@time4advancement244 He said “ I walk around peacefully all the time”. How can one make such a statement if they meant they walk in their house. I guess you haven’t been to Ghana. Click on his name or search for “ African Walk Videos” and you will understand what he meant.
@@STEPHMENS I was stationed in Ghana; working on Government contracts for many years.
I know it's politics and economics better than you.
@@time4advancement244 you're right, these people don't want to tell the truth. These youtubers also don't tell the truth and only show the elite 1% while ignore the struggle of the real Ghana.
She said it ,Ghana is on the rise., Art, fashion., culture ,national development. . lets keep going.
Ghana's economy is failing; you people do not understand economics.
For example, your current Prez has plunged the country into enormous debt. Please, learn to read and stop watching fashion videoz
@@time4advancement244 nd what country are u from? I kinda ve an idea. Why don't u promote ur useless country instead of hating on ghana? Nd let me school u on economics. Every nation has debt. Ghanas debt is actually one of the smallest in the world comparing debt to gdp. Now how much debt does ur useless country owe?
Stephen Obeng
But why do we need her there?
@@blackblaze5271 Because you Africans love other cultures more than you love yourselves.
@@time4advancement244
That's kind of my point 😑 We just got through dealing with non-black invaders in our lands and many of them still mistreat us in their countries
I think it’s VERY cool that you are identifying diverse people with Ghanaian lineage who are coming home to build and not be colonizers. Salute! 💪🏾❤️
VERY SMART YOUNG WOMAN, SHE'S GONNA MAKE IT I PROMISE YOU GUY'S....THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING IS NOT EASY AS WE ALL KNOWS.
CONGRATULATIONS 👌💯%❤
Thank you so much appreciate it ❤️✨
The natural flow of questioning from background to personality to current situation is so seamless. Vanessa you’re a natural. And wow this lady is smart, knowledgeable and her brand is beautiful. Completely loved everything about this video🔥
Vanessa will not disappoint when it comes to video quality
This is beautiful. It’s all about DETAILS and presentation. She also seem personable and into her brand. I’d definitely visit her shop if she had mens wear. I actually will still visit when I’m in Ghana. Might find something for a family member.
Awesome. I'm so glad u are back . Ghana is home . I was born in Cameron but my parents are from Ghana. I love Ghana. Is my home .
You speak french?
@@markntiri8251 yes sir
Venessa I love the cornrows. You look so pretty. Well done. You taking it to the next level. Excited for your content in 2022. God bless
Thanks v much
This young lady Kinda seems very determined and ambitious. Wish her well. Thanks Vanessa. You are a star !
Love the fact that she was willing to be the difference to make a difference
Vanessa, keep it up. Your content and quality of production continue to exceed most expectations for this platform!
This is the kind of positive content that we want to see. Refreshing stuff. No negativity. Kudos.
Sometimes you need the negativity.
Life is a mixture of things not just one thing.
@@Biobele true
@ALAIN MEKOYO
It is inferiority complex
A British man is a British man yeah they have sub groups, An American, a Japanese etc are what they are, A European would not be mad at you or correct you for calling him European same as an Asian.
Only Africans will be quick to explain how they are totally African because they have some Arab ancestors, or how they are more south African than they are African. Many Africans LOVE their invaders, their forced culture and customs than their parents and their original selves that is why things are the way they are.
We (Africa/Africans) are seems as the dust bin of the world, everyone can go to the dustbin (the cook, the owner of the house, the maid, the madam of the house and the children of the house, even visitors and scavengers are allowed to rummage through).
The children of the house are not allowed to play in or around the waste bin meanwhile those who are in the waste or the waste itself is not allowed into the sitting room and the dinning and the bed rooms Infact any waste found in those places are thrown out immediately.
You may need to read this two or three times to fully understand it.
This is why it amazes me when Kenya, Ghana, south Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and co. Claim to be better than or think of themselves as better than other Africans. It's like saying I am a more useful waste than this other waste, it does not matter WE ARE ALL WASTE.
Yes, You may be neater or fancier but in the eyes of those in the sitting room and dinning table you are still in the trash and the trash is filthy and should be avoided.
You may have a fancy house but if it's in a crime ridden neighborhood in the worst part of town, no normal person in that town would want to risk it.
This explains the poor treatment Africans receive world over and rather than challenge the west, challenge the middle east and co. Africans believe that creating a new bottom will help them go up or make others think they are up.
If Africa as a whole acts for example ban all exports of cocoa and oil to Belgium and Switzerland and others until travel restrictions or lifted or until stolen artefacts are returned or until work conditions of Africans or even all black and people of African descent are improved then Africa and Africans will be respected
What I mean is if
1. Africans treat ourselves better
2. Africans help each other
3. Trade with each other
4. Be interested in each other
Our value will improve
Imagine all 1.2 billion Africans buying made in Ghana pens or made in Nigeria rice or patronising one product from each African country what it will do for us
But instead in our minds we have an hierarchy we priorities
1. The Arab man's god or the European god
2. Our colonial masters
3. America
4. Europe
5. Asia
6. Our various tribes
7. Our country
8. one country that is almost like our country
100. Some African country Europeans say is good
We Africans hold the EXACT stereotypes EUROPEANS and Americans hold of us we hold those stereotypes of ourselves so how can we improve? Its impossible
What I observe is Africans being content with mediocrity. South Africans feel like well at least we aren't the most hated or most stereotyped so no need to complain or stand up for those other African countries instead let us do exactly what Arabs and Europeans are doing to us to the poorer countries around us, it makes absolutely no sense to me especially from the view of RESPECT TO AFRICANS.
Understand this: if the west and Arabia is getting rich from cheap labour, exploitation of raw materials from Africa and elsewhere and all that, where do you think you Central Africa Republic or you Guinea Bissau will get your own cheap labour from and your own cheap or free raw materials from? You are the cheap labour so you can't develop. You will only be used to develop others.
so this explains why you'll hear south Africans say we are not black like you, you'll hear some north Africans claim they are Arabs or Muslims and everything else before they ever acknowledge they are on the African continent and are Africans
You'll hear east Africans say they are habeesha and everything else before they accept they are black Africans, they will rather say they are burnt or their faces are burnt and they'll do well to remind you they are different from the Black's elsewhere.
I can tell the difference between pride in your own culture or identity and inferiority complex.
This thing Africans have is inferiority complex they are ashamed to admit they are black or African.
The solution comes When you first admit I AM AFRICAN, then you will realise you have to do what you can to improve the image of Africa rather than try to introduce a new identity or hide under other people's identity whether they be Islam, Arab, Israelites, hotep, and run away from the African identity by running away from it you are trying to avoid liability, trying to escape doing your part to improve the perception people have of Africans
Our history and present is both beautiful and complex. Sometimes we have to create space for positive uplifting content, as well as space for telling the truth. We cannot fail to learn. In that regard, the definition of negativity is subjective in the African experience and context. I absolutely love this video and the shop owners work!
congrats Kinda! so proud of you, I didn't know you moved back and now opened a shop also! let's do some work together!
Peace and love sisters from 🇨🇩🇨🇬
Wow I would definitely buy that pink jacket and more..Looks good and good quality. That's my style.
Those dresses are incredible😳😍🥰
She is amazing. The wedding dress is the one I want to buy for my wife and we would like to have a wedding ceremony again.
That is so sweet you wanting to buy that wedding dress for your wife, most men would not have a clue LOL
That’s great that they have a rental option!
This is so nice. I love seeing Sistas doing great things and paving the way for others. Her shop and clothes are so very share...and formal gowns are beautiful! You style them well also.✨✨✨
I visited Ghana recently, how I wish I had known about this boutique.
As a proud African and Ghanaian, I hope she finds peace in Ghana AND WISH THAT SHE WILL ALSO ADVISE HER LEBANESE COUSINS TO STOP PHYSICALLY ABUSING AFRICAN HOUSE MAIDS, SO THEY CAN ALSO ENJOY PEACE IN LEBANON.
As a Ghanaian I also wish you advise your Ghanaian cousins to stop being dishonest to foreigners....how about that for responsibility?
@@mrw1762 DISHONEST? Did you say? Show me which foreigner around the world is honest, and I will show you mangoes grow in space. The problem with us Ghanaians is we are not patriotic enough to support our own. We like to fight tooth and nail protect the foreigner always, so they take advantage of us, with the help of people like you. I DONT DISLIKE OR HATE FOREIGNERS , but we have to support our own like everyone does around the world except us.
Ghanaians also mistreat their maids/ house help, so this advice should be for Ghanaians as well.
So true, can they stop abusing housemaids in Lebanon.
@@joemensah9557 you already being dishonest. Have a good day, sir.
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 AfriCAN you are doing well 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Please let's share the popcorn 🍿 while watching 😊
Vanessa u are a breath of fresh air. No negativity
Beautiful. Love the "Fanti" branding
Great creative and business energy by Kinda. Bravo, young lady, wishing you all the success! I am sure my wife will discover this place and just go wild. 🤣 . Keep up the inspirational video's Vanessa. Our Ghana🇬🇭 on the move by young Ghanaian ladies. 💪🏿 👏🏾
🔥🔥🔥❤️🥰KERP IT UP …. MUCH LOVE FROM NEW YORK 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please show the real Ghana this is only accessible to the elite. Show the struggle
You are right🙏🏻
she wont
She won't show any struggle videos, kindly follow BBC and CNN, they are champions when it comes to showing struggles of Africa. Thanks
@@kenmel7035after showing the struggle what’s does the BBC do about that …
I really enjoyed this video a lot, knowing that shops like Kinda's are coming up in numbers in Ghana.

We should want black owned businesses. I don't understand why people are celebrating letting african culture/fashion be owned by a non-african. Why should we even care that there's some lebanese woman making clothes?
Did you hear her say that she is part Ghanaian, a Fanti???? She is part Ghanaian and part Lebanese. Rawlings was part Scottish and part Ghanaian, so what are you talking about?????
@@jakebaba2149
How do you confirm that? Anyone can claim anything.
And why is it relevant that a mixed person was dictator for some time in ghana? Do you want ghana to turn into a place for mixed or what? What exactly is your point? Weird how 'black pride' includes so many non-black people these days who very much don't respect you and never have.
Oh yeah! How about this???? You, as an individual, are not of the ethnicity that you claim to belong in Africa, according to your own unwise statements here about this hardworking Ghanaian entrepreneur doing her business in Ghana. YOU ARE NOT OF THE AFRICAN ETHNICITY YOU CLAIM TO BELONG TO. HOW ABOUT THAT????
@@jakebaba2149
Ok, you can claim that, but we're not discussing me. If we were then it'd fair to want proof. But I think the proof would be as clear as my face. I don't see anything about her that indicates her connection to any particular tribe. She looks as lebanese as any other lebanese
Also you can call her a hardworking 'ghanaian' all you want, but that doesn't change the dynamic between you and her and how the world regards the both of you. Particularly her favored status above you in your country and in hers. We've already gone through this before. If you want to give favor and hand over your businesses and every aspect of your life to other groups you can go ahead and suffer the consequence later when they're priviledged above you. I'm not going to support it
Black locals only
Beautiful, she sounds more like an American than a Ghanaian or Lebanese. Great job will visit next time I’m in Ghana!
Naaa she sounds Ghanaian
This was such a great episode! Loved how clear the information was...and her shop is beautifully executed!
The blue dress you wore was really Gud on you
Keep rising 💕💕💕💕
this was so interesting!!! thanks for sharing kween!
Just finished the intro and your energy is so captivating.... haha let me finish the video now
Thank you for this wonderful video 🔥👍
Hi Vanessa!! Very Very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Woow I'm getting inspired to move to Ghana now! I grew up in Norway with my Ghanaian mother and every time I've been in Ghana I've drawn clothing designs and had them sown by someone there. I assumed business would be soo difficult and close to impossible in Ghana, especially as a woman but I'm seeing that it's actually possible 🤩
I am starting to be in love with Ghana 🇬🇭
Beyond words.
What a lovely collection 🙂. Vanessa Congratulations on Baby number 3 🙂
Very nice piece. This green one is so niiiiiceeeeee!!!
Another great content Venessa! Good luck to the sister on business adventure!
I hope that the workers who make these clothes are wellpaid and work under healthy conditions!
Beautiful clothing I must visit Ghana soon.
I just checked out the website and there's a store in Houston Texas will purchase the peach maxi dress and I love the Jumpsuit.
California 💛
There are soo many Labenes-Ghanaians in Ghana.
Sometimes when other West Africans see them they think they're
foreigners. If you see Joseph Yamin who was a minister in NDC government and Fadi Dabbousi who is in NPP communication team, you might think they're not even Africans but they were born and breed in Kumasi.
Don't forget actor Majid Michel who is also half Lebanese.
Those who understand economics or have studied economics in high school or university , would understand that Ghana & ∆fric∆ are indeed rising economically.
Also returning to it's former celebrated glory , is our great
∆fric∆n🤎😍 culture .
Worldwide none other better.
@ALAIN MEKOYO Don't be stupid ok. Some were there before Ghana's independence ok. Some of them their parents were even born in Ghana. How many African were born in Lebanon? We're talking about citizens not migrants ok.
Because of Nkrumah's Pan Africanism ideas many people came to Ghana to help Ghana to gain independence, after the independence, Nkrumah declared everyone in Ghana as citizens of Ghana including some Indians, Lebanese, Jamaicans and even some African Americans.
@@zigibeat3689 "Because of Nkrumah's Pan Africanism ideas many people came to Ghana to help Ghana to gain independence, after the independence, Nkrumah declared everyone in Ghana as citizens of Ghana including some Indians, Lebanese, Jamaicans and even some African Americans. "

Beautiful lovely and happy family well done to you Miss Trudy
Why Miss Trudy ? She is Vanessa for God sake.
Keep up the good work Vanessa
Today u look stunning love yah
Oh nice when I come home take us to her I like her
Love to get these stories, thanks 🌻
Loving the content!
Wow...great, will pass through when I am in Accra
Very refreshing 🥰
Awesome to see an Arab lady coming to Africa! Wish you all the best in your venture
She was born in Ghana and had a Ghanaian grandmother. So what do you mean an Arab lady coming to Africa?
The Arabs in North Africa are Africans too and don't forget the Arabs in East Africa. The regional lingua franca there, Kiswahili, is a Bantu language with some Arabic vocabulary. She's not some rare 'species' on the continent.
She is Ghanaian born from Ghanaian Mother and a Lebanese father
@@tapsirusaccoh67 seems you grew up with her
Great interview!
Vanessa, excellent content 👍🏾
She grew up in Ghana and Lebanon but she has such an American accent sounds like she's from down the block from me in Miami, Florida
That’s not an American accent
It's the classic "International school" accent that a lot of people have in Africa.
Actually that's an international school accent with moments of Ghanaian accent cadence.
An American in America wrongly sees the world through American eyes .
The world outside America , wrongly sees America through the world's eyes .
@@adetorrent alot of who, have what in Africa I listen to a lot of Africans speak English they dont sound like her at all bro I'm American I know what English sound like
Am just loving your concepts and ideas... thanks
@8:30 this seems to be a problem all over West Africa. You ask folks if they can do XYZ and everyone always say they can do it but when it is time to get the work done, they suck
The blue dress was beautiful on you
Congratulations
what took you so long to post another amazing video? been waiting for you to resume your Ghana series
Awesome episode
You are really doing a good job, keep it up.
Amazing content 👌
I got a question for Ghanaians born and bred in Ghana (never been out) - have the prices increased dramatically in Accra and surrounding areas since 2019?
Fuel's been moving relatively high in the past months but aside that I'd say everything's okay
@@asante.m403 Got it. I'm asking because I have people there and they've been talking about the price increase everywhere - even on food - so it's good to know elsewhere.
@@asante.m403 comedian
@@Ada-zg2qb official inflation for Ghana last month was 27.5 % which is the highest we've had for many years. It was mainly attributed to fuel price hikes on the world market and depreciation of the local currency. Your folks aren't lying.
