I like that "Ghana is the best place to raise a child". So proud to be an African.
@Graceof Yahshya We don't have to discriminate against other countries because we are supporting Africa. The USA is also a good place to raise children.

Hi Vanessa silent watcher here. I love what you're doing shining a spotlight on young movers and shakers in Ghana. Can i suggest you get Leroy Wadie on your channel for your next batch of interviews . He is doing great things with his Mhossenu arthouse as well as Danny Wonders and Dentaa. I would like to see some techpreneurs in Ghana who I feel like are sometimes overlooked. I hope I'm not asking for too much. Thanks
You don’t disappoint. Great video.
VANESSA the dollar fluctuations too. Ask any one into forex. Using the dollar may be good for businesses to price products easily and budget for the future with less variance in actuals but it does not negate the fact that it contributes to the devaluation of the Ghanaia Cedis.
Yes we need to show our Kings and Queens. We have great history of great men who haven't been represented enough. I hope Ghana gets better with their history documentations
Love your content! I can so relate to this beautiful story. I returned to my native Liberia after 44 yrs last year and I am hooked on the continent!!
Yeama Neal Hi Yeama! I just moved to Liberia and I will be documenting my experience on my channel. Check it out when you’re free😊
Yeah, won't trade Ghana for any other place in the world.
#LOVEGHANA 😊
OMG, Jewel is amazing ! I love her designs and would love a few of her pieces when I get my home. I will be in Ghana in September to start the process of repatriation. I am so proud of all the Africans coming home to make the continent SHINE! I am so proud to be of African descent and I think many African Americans are coming into knowledge of self and the need to connect with the continent from which we were violently snatched from our Families, land, homes, & culture. Thanks Vanessa, this has been a great video and learning experience!
I couldn't have put it better myself!
Caribbean Family in the house.... out of all your videos I really like this one, those pieces are beautifulllllll...omggggg. My family & I will be coming home as soon as this pandemic is over... Peace & Prosperity to you all... Love in the house!!!!!
I’ve never been to the continent of Africa & I’m not even Ghanaian, but being of the diaspora I LOVE seeing videos on UA-cam highlighting Africa in a positive light. Your channel makes me all the more excited to visit Ghana. Everyone I know who has visited Ghana absolutely loves it there. Your channel is inspirational. Great job!
New subscriber for sure.
Interesting discussion. I love the Space. Nice video
Good content, am thinking of going back to Ghana 🇬🇭 too.
Loooove her space! I want my next home to be designed with all African decorations. Lovely interview.
I love her pieces and her story 🙏🏾🇬🇭 When I last there, I wished I could’ve brought back so many pieces 😌
I love love loveeee this! I also love how you keep interviewing fellow fashion folks! ☺️ very comforting to see fellow creatives executing their visions in Ghana
That's an Amazing Space & Concept! I love promoting the Narrative that counterbalances Tadgedy, Trauma & Victimization. The Thrones & Crowns & Kente are Real. I would have advised developing it while lecturing.
Beautiful space. Ivy Prosper featured this space on her channel. There is a dining table there, that I absolutely love. Will check this store out when I reach Ghana, God's willing.
I love Jewel's sight! That place is amazing! It reminds me a little of an archeological site. It's so inviting and so full of treasures. Every single piece is a precious creative find. And I fell in love with the design of the floors too, just beautiful. Keep it up Vanessa! This was great.
That was an awesome interview. She was very open and honest. I wish her much success and the same for you too Vanessa. I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾🙏🏽🧡
Nice video and informative. I will be going there soon. I am engaged to a Ghanian and found your Chanel! Just subscribed! Just trying to learn more about Ghana. My ancestors are from Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Kenya according to my DNA tests.
I live in Ghana, I moved from the UK. I refuse to buy anything in dollars as I think its just absurd in terms of value for your money in-comparison to the Ghana Cedi , granted if you want to live in certain areas they only accept dollars. But I live in one of the best neighbourhoods here in Ghana and I pay cedis. Lol maybe im just stubborn, but I will hunt and find exactly what I want and pay in cedis. Great interview nice to see the Diaspora living here, definitely easier than done but its definitely a rush! and a exciting time to be in Africa.
Lovely interview. Thanks to you both. Vanessa, could you try to do some videos on schools in Accra. I.e. to help returnees get an idea of pros and cons of different primary and secondary school options?
WOW AMAZING INTERIOR DECOR!!!!!!!!
The space looks very futuristic. Love it! One of your best interviews, ever!
I think this is my absolute favorite episode. Great, natural conversation. Brilliant guest. Now I want to buy all those beautiful pieces. 😬

The gallery is beautiful...can't wait 4 your tour...thank u 4 sharing...
Wow, this interview was great. I really enjoyed it. I loved her creative energy and vision. I loved all the natural resources used to create furniture, that is amazing. She made some excellent points about who we are as Africans and our history. It made me really want to visit Ghana.
Great interviews guys. Jewel your space is gorgeous
It's true in Africa they legitimise you thru physical shop. I try hard to do online business but most people prefer to come to your shop first then they do business with you.
Vanessa! This video gave me my life! Thank you!
Thanks for bringing your creative back to the society .
That's an amazing God bless our motherland🥰🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Jewel is always a fave ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this...thank you, part 2 as well!
Great interview V and Jewel. Keep on keeping on. Jewel you have exquisite taste. Very lovely. Hope to visit next time.
Finally someone who has spoken about the fact that Black History started way before slavery....
Absolutely love it!
I'm loving the interior design 😍
Nice space, and interview, where can I find Nu Afropolitan in Accra
Thank you. Opposite kempinski there’s a shopping mall called galleria. It’s on the first floor x
This is great development, I never knew we’ve such a person. Advertising is the additional key to support the business. Congratulations!
@@VanessaKanbi please do we have NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY OR NATIONAL ART GALLERY in Ghana
You need to showcase your products in an African magazine and magazines like Ebony to widen your exposure
Awesome interview
The last thing she said about Ghana is so apt.
Excellent interview 💚
This is amazing!
Love the channel and the interviews you conduct.
I am Nigerian living in the U.K., but would like to debunk the notion that quoting in Cedis is an issue, ummmm.
Would not want to make a comparison, but they quote in Naira, I mean millions of Naira at that.
You could quite in Cedis, and in brackets insert the dollar equivalent.
I would hope your channel is catering for the diaspora and as well the locals.
Just a thought
Again, it’s a well put up channel, thank you.
That table is so fabulous
I can't wait to meet you Jewel
Awesome , unforgettable !
Awesome video, Vanessa :)
Thanks Vanessa, this was nice.
Interesting convo ☺️
You have some amazing friends. You need to get back to Ghana ASAP and make that black girl magic happen. ❤️.. I’m in Love with many of her designs. Are any for sale? Great content sista.
Wow wow & wow again!
VERY NICE VIDEO..
Nice interview!
Refined, superb!
do a mural on the wall. bring it to life or use back cloth
First to watch #GreatContent.
So beautiful!!!!
Vanessa please if you can,please interview creator founder of Ashesi University Patrick Awuah. Very inspiring
He's been interviewed so many times over the years already. It's time to shine a light on other pioneers
You have to want to build if you want to move to Ghana. Young Africans from across the diaspora should what to move there and hit the ground running.
That space!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that's impressive...
Yessss black history DOES NOT begin with slavery!!! That’s exactly why I created @iamroyaltybooks!
Vanessa is it possible for Nu Afropolitan to ship to the States?
Yes it is contact them on insta @nuafropolitan
I enjoyed this interview very much. Keep highlighting the realities that of Ghana to help the Diaspora make informed decisions to relocate to the Continent. Where can we find this shop online?
Thank you

Brilliant.
love the video
Great works
Vanessa, I want to see a video on education in Ghana. The quality and foundations of education in primary or elementary schools vs American Schools. I would like to stay for at least a year. I am also a teacher with a 5year and 7year. Will I need to consider homeschooling vs public schooling?
Nice one OKES ITALY
She could reach out to movie makers and theatre people cos a lot of this is also good for props
There were african kingdom's less than 800 years ago
Two cousins looking like sisters!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏾👏🏾
Greetings Vanessa Kanbi, first question. Are you still vegetarian, I just wanted to know? Great interview, we are truly a talented people when not oppressed or enslaved by other cultures..
Larry Wilson How can a person with Ghanaian blood in her be a vegetarian, we Ghanaians, we love meat. They will practice it for a while and when they get tired they will stop and there is nothing wrong with that people can always change their minds. 😂
@@cheendo7400 Thanks for your reply and continue to enjoy life where ever you are.
@@nefertemur8951 😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice reply. But you too if she's vegetarian efa wo ho b3n
Augustine Danso Thanks for your reply and have a grand day.
@@nefertemur8951 aww Larry your positivity hurts 😊. I wish to be like you someday when i grow up
Very beautiful interview!
Very clever guest...she lowkey has jokes too lol.
Ok I get that if you take my money I can find you at this address 😂🤣
Hi Venessa I will love to get her info or mine to her. I have an idea for her and I to work together if that’s ok. Thank you
I think I got it now. Jewel 💎 or Jule? Tell me more.
She’s deep in an art way. What is her name? is
Does she have a website, Vanessa?
Check description
; “The Artist’s Odyssey.” via; Artist, & Author and one of those an early pioneer (1965 t0 1976)
Like Nkrumah once said; “Teach a man, you teach an individual; teach a woman, you teach your people.” Decades later, I say, it ain’t necessarily so, in these computers days. TEACH everyone who have a his/tory to share.
Question is; would such history be of interest to today’s educators & students?
During the 11 years (1965 to 1976) I lived in Ghana, and west Africa, I carved small pieces of ivory chips (1 to 3inches) and cow-horns into traditional African symbols and miniature reproductions of traditional sculptures and masks; which enable me to earn a living and hire 2 assistance which made me legal in the eyes of Ghanian and immigration officials. After being adoptive by an Ashanti paramount chief, Nana Kwaku Duah the Agogo-hene, of the Ashanti Akim, all doors were open to me and in spirit of the mind, I was citizen of Africa and respected as such.. It was a born again experience, which remains with me to this day, 50+ years today.

@@VanessaKanbi ok thanks!
The people who thought our history begun with slavery are those whose parents clearly don’t speak to them lols, I’ve never thought that so it’s surprising to hear
I think you are a bit behind your history. 10,000 years an African archaeologist from the states is doing her own digs
Do you have details on where, and who this person is pls.
😍
You have a very lovely face Vanessa
What is the big deal about kings? It means that one person is the king, (a man) everyone else is a peasant a democracy is a better idea. Also the Greeks built Alexandria the clue is in the name, but no matter what the neonazis say the ancient Egyptians were African just look at their art.
No, we were sold by warlords. People who looked like us. I love your work though.
I know the light skinned lady is married to a white man but I have a feeling that the lady she is talking to is also married to a white man while trying to talk pro black I hope I'm wrong about the the dark skinned lady
She (Jewel) said she is married to a Ghanaian...
I see you trying to look Kool sitting on that nice chair:) lol...but your personality won’t allow:)
So does your brain
