AKWAABA.
Incredible!

Do it dear there’s no place like home.
Wow! She has really said it all. We all have a role to play in making Africa great👏🏽
Grace-Nancy Afful 🙌🏽🙌🏽💫🇬🇭
Make Africa great again :)))
Totally!
I’m an American and I’m learning so much through your channel and I’m so grateful for the education.
Ghanaians are friendly and ready to welcome everybody...
I am same. Born in ghana then moved to London and now back with three small kids for the past year
Wishing you and your young family abundance of peace, success, blessings, you have done the right move. Thank you for sharing, will give many others lots of hope, and the courage to migrate.
⚓⚓⚓🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💞💕💟💕💞💟💕💞🇯🇲🇬🇧🤗🤗🤗
Akwaaba, hope your family is well settled in by now. You should share your experience, it goes a long way to help someone else :)
As an African living in the US this interview had me smiling. Great insight, great interview V!
Ed Ozz thank you Ed! X
great interview ... most people want to travel abroad because they think its easy out there ... interviews like this makes us appreciate that we are living more better than them ....a life without people around ... can you imagine
Charles Awotwe far far far better dear because there’s no life here in the western world. Loneliness, stress you Name them. God willing we shall all return one day and have a happy and peaceful life. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Charles life back how is way way better then the west as long as you have a source of income
Corona and lock down is a typical example of the western life
@@maameboa254 the West has lost its sense of connection and community, you have to work hard to create it. It is very isolating. In the USA the built physical environment also doesn't help because most neighborhoods developed along with the car and planning restrictions separated homes from shopping and work so they are just not walkable, unless you are in an older city you have to drive everywhere. That's when you get communities in "food deserts" where you are in the wealthiest country in the world but you have no easy access to fruit, vegetables and fresh protein. Really unhealthy. But the loneliness and social isolation is very obvious in the US. I think that's also part of the drug epidemic, people have noone to talk to and the healthcare system is set up where it is cheaper to give a patient drugs rather than talk therapy. I would be interested if Ghanaians feel less need for therapy too! Lovely to see a more human and humane society.
@@beautifulspirit7420 yes 😊 thank you 🙏🏾
Two intelligent women talking. Great interview.
konkonbishl thanks very much 💫
Omg like a breath of fresh air. In America I cannot connected with other women like this and it’ saddens me. Most conversations here are what I like to call surfaced. Never have any depth. I would love to move to Ghana 🇬🇭 one day just for that connection in the community. Great interview.
Perfectly said. Something about this interview is so right, but I could not put it into words until I saw your comment. I really love Vanessa's content. She makes Ghana so accessible to a novice like me.
Ladies you make me feel so proud to be a Ghanaian 🇬🇭
16:00- When she said she was stressed and it feels good to know she wasn't alone.. This sings 2 Me!!! 💖
Africa's future is bright. It's these young diasporans coming back to the continent who are going to transform the continent we just have to let them. Well informed ladies.
I'm on my way from AmeriKKKa. I hate that trump is working on getting land in Kenya. He met with the President again. He wants to build his tower there and take over their economies i hate it!! He needs to stay in the West.
Queen Cecelia he’s doing WHAT?! 😯
Queen Cecelia what 😩😩😩 I didn’t hear about this.
Vanessa Kanbi lets hope and pray that he doesn’t come to Ghana🙏🏾
@@VanessaKanbi Yes Sis. It's bad. 😣 I sent 3 vids to ur IG page. Couldn't see how to link anything here. It's a lot going on. Plz tell me something..are the chinese still able to fly into Ghana?
I am American with a Ghanaian girlfriend soon to be wife and I learn so much from your videos. Keep up the good work.
Three Hebrew Boys thank you. I’m glad you enjoy them x
I am a American with a Ghanaian boyfriend...soon too be husband .....learning all I can about the customs and culture!
Oh wow! I’m blown away at seeing Bella, I had to do a double take. I’m 58, but I swear she looks just like me when I was her age. I showed my sister without saying a word and she immediately said she looks just like me. My sister said Bella looks more like she could be my sister than she does. It’s true! They say we all have a twin somewhere on the planet, looks like I found mine in Ghana!
We are all coming back!
✊🏾
DR KAYGH yep yep yep.
Definitely true
It s our second home
Dr. Kofi Vlogs Wow! I just finished watching you on another channel and now I’m seeing your comment here. You were showing a newly constructed property with a beautiful woman that name began with the letter D. As a Black woman from the USA, I’m looking to leave for good and Ghana is looking quite nice. Can you please provide channels or websites for me to watch? Thanks either way.👍🏽
The most down to earth interview from someone settling in GH from abroad. I place no weight on her living in GH for the first 19 yrs of her life. She is balanced and genuine. Hubby's loss, I think 😊.
...I agree 100% .Dude lost a gem
What a lovely lady. Very good information, i really want to look into the zero waste 👍🏽 im going crazy with all this plastic 😩
Very educative have lived in Ghana my whole life but for once I feel Africa will be great again 💯
Me As well - I am African Born living In the West hoping to return to the mother Land - I know Africa is the future Now
This was fantastic! Everything I have been thinking about getting involved in with Ghana was manifested in the conversation. Service training, sustainability, tackling plastic waste etc
SpadeFungi whoop. I’m glad we covered the topics you were thinking about!
I’m pledging to bring my kids to Togo for a month every year. I can’t decide yet to move back to Togo cause I’m still single and I’m in school.
Also: I like her job. When I went back to vacation in Togo, I realized that many places we went to had bad customer service. With a good customer service many of those places we visited could get more customer. I want to grow my country too.
Get someone you trust and try setting up a business like hers.
Ms. Vanessa, this was a very informative post. Ms. Bella being "woke" about her environment is truly a massive PLUS to Ghana and planet Earth! While listening to your interview, I became a little fixated on the references to the poverty conditions... During my scouting days, I was taught that no matter where you are, in order to live you must have SHELTER from the elements, Clean water to drink (EVERY DAY) and food to eat... I tell my children that an unshakable faith in The Creator before all those others will bridge the gaps which sometimes occur with those other three.
We Americans tend to be arrogantly good at telling other people what would be better for them... In my pondering, I wonder would real help to our brothers and sisters in Ghana look like??? Years ago on a visit to a village in rural Zimbabwe, my father asked the Chief what one item he could use to improve the conditions for his people. The quick answer was a "bore hole" (well for clean water) At the time, the women and children walked several miles, each way to a river. The well made a real difference for the entire community.
I learned so much from this interview. I now want to visit Ghana. I’m in NY and we so lack a sense of community here. Keep spreading truth beautiful ladies!!
Hello.will you be needing a nanny?.0238897116.am a nanny myself.thanks
Thanks for this. In Jamaica a "helper" is the norm for certain households. I would have no problem engaging staff to help me run my home. I respect no "employer" who feels it's the "thing" to abuse their staff there is no value in it.
I find it extremely sad when black people or any other race disrespects their Helper's, Home help, Support Worker's, Helper's need to be respected and properly trained to carry out their duties with competence, confidence, diligence, compliance, health and safety. All workers need to feel respected and valued. Without these special people many employees will be lost.
I feel more relaxed when am in Ghana 🇬🇭 ... Europe is stressful country in my opinion
This is was great. I remember growing up as a child we took out bowls to get street food and if you didn’t have a bow you get the food served in a leave. Going to the markets too people took baskets 🧺 and what you bought was wrapped in paper. Plastic was not a thing, we need to go back to those days. If you live in Ghana and you’re watching this interview please try to adopt these ways of sustainability as our ancestors have done all this while. The west is dying because of these things and now they’re trying to go back paper instead of plastic. It’s our job to take care of our environment, step by step the mentality will change. Thank you Nessa and Bella 🙏🏼

My question is who introduce food in plastic, back in the days having food wrap in the leaf 🍃 was very healthy and it’s more organic style ..
The leaf contains great chemicals for your wellbeing.
I think this is best the most detailed interview you made but I think Belle is a open person that loves her background. She gave a very big and excellent inside about living in Ghana. She spoke about where she was born and she have family living in Ghana which make a big difference. The best Guest you ever had, a open minded woman. Thanks so much Vanessa and Bella
Please, interview Bella again to talk about careers.
Great and insightful interview. With visionary leadership under a government that builds modern infrastructure and maintains law and order, Ghanaians of varied backgrounds will develop the country.
Great interview Vanessa! So insightful, Bella was so graceful with her answers. Keep it up.x
I love the qualitative & detailed nature of the content on your channel, Vanessa! Another super useful video. And congrats on 20k subs 🥳
Very insightful! I’ve got this itch to move to Ghana and this interview was very raw. Keep up with good work Ms Kanbi
This interview made me want to cry. Its so beautiful. These women are speaking directly to my heart. Community and sustainability. I was beginning to question my desire to move to Ghana but no longer. If there is a community of people who feel this way in Ghana, I will be able to finally find a home.
There’s no place like Africa or Ghana blessed blessed.
She is so honest about he OCD and the effect it has on you and explaining everything about culture. love you guys
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Very informative and resonated a lot with me. Part III is definitely needed. Please consider another video.
One of the best interviews I have seen. This is very informative. Thank you, Vanessa.
Awesome interview Vanessa Kanbi, thank you for sharing this really wonderful insight into Bella"s life in Ghana.
@Jennifer Yearwood Noted, thanks....
It is time for Ghana to ban the single-use plastic bags just like other African countries such as Gambia and Rwanda have done.
Lol it's long past time for that
Yes
The Illiterates said they wont Vote for Nana Akufo Addo if he attempts to ban the plastic. You have to understand Ghana has iver 40% ILLITERATES, most of them are in the NDC PARTY
And legalize same sex relationships!
@@HenriqueNevesdaCosta , we don't want that shit
Wow am soo happy to see great sisters having good time in gh very beautiful interview.
Always good to get insight from people who have moved back. This allows people to think practically about what they are ready for and what adjustments they are willing to make. Everyone is coming from a different starting point. I was pleased that she was making an attempt to point out the different demographics. Everyone has exposure to different aspects of Ghanaian society when they are young. This can make a difference in approach.
My mum was telling me how they use to sell ice water in Ghana when she was growing up (no plastic).
I think it was in a pot. Then you sell it to people i cups😊
Hehe. Getting water in the past was a headache
A very nice interview. I can easily relate to all the gist. Have lived in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Zurich, Nigeria and back to London...
I love this! I really wanna move back to Ghana. Thank you Vanessa and Bella for doin this!
Very intriguing. I enjoyed every bit of the discussion. Proud of you Bella. Welcome home. 😊😙
Excellent interview. Keep up the great work 😊
Very transparent interview. Thank you for sharing.
Two lovely great ladies . I've been travelling to Ghana for over 30 years since my marriage. I love the country , my Ghanaian family, the food , culture. I recognize a lot in your story
The most interesting and intelligent interview I’ve watched. I love your honesty and you’re on point with your facts. Keep up the great work
This was a great interview, excellent presentation from both of you! Thank you!
Wow this is so insightful! I am planning to make a move to Ghana from Norway, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Great work, keep it going
Another great interview with excellent information.
Omg, I want more from you two pls. really enjoyed every bit of the conversation! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍😍💖💖💖🖤🖤🖤
@Jennifer Yearwood 💯💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾
I so proud of you 2! Solid discussion. All I ask is that yall do it again!
Such a great interview!
Lovely interview. Very relaxing and information.
Well spoke, good interview, quite transparent. Well done!
🤯🤯🤯 OMGoshhh!!! I REALLY needed this and NOBODY has addressed what you both have!!! With plans to relocate all this have been on my mind! I had someone come to the US to "help" and I always thought I was open and kind. Needless to say it was a learning experience, we are so closed and controlling in the west and it is a huge put off to others. I had to learn the hard way that I needed just to let people help me!! That group effort is there but most of us here do not know how to let go of the controls. I need her contact Vanessa!!!!
New subbie here! It is so apparent how much work you put into your videos and they are so lovely to view! Thank you Vanessa 👏🏾
So so sooo inspired by Bella!! It makes me so happy to see conscious people in Ghana outside of the Miami/Ibiza lifestyle Accra is becoming. I was becoming less excited to move to Ghana in the future but this content reigniting my flame!
I really enjoyed this- she's so knowledgeable on sustainable living and I loved watching this video. Great job Vanessa
Love this video. Love Ms. Bella - so intelligent and humble. Thank you, Vanessa.
This is beautiful..love it from start to end.
Really enjoy the interview.. planning moving back home and this interview have motivated me more ..
Quite a thought. Wanting to make a real difference. I like the insightful conversation between the 2 of you. All the best. William
I really enjoyed listening to her perspective on things. She has an interesting way of breaking down things.
Nailed it, great interview! Insightful. Thank you ladies. You have a subscriber V. Thank you! 👏🏾♥️😊
I'm in love with the idea of community and being able to say what you are thinking flat out. I am in the wrong place! Love the video thank you!
Best Video ever on your channel Vee !
I enjoyed everything and Bella has such a beautiful spirit ! Wow 🤩 👏 👏
Vanessa, thank you for introducing us to Nana. She is delightful and her house is amazing. You continually produce enriching content. Your passion for Africa is evident.
Loved this interview, so insightful
One of the most enlightening interviews I’ve watched on this channel 👌🏾. Great insights 👌🏾
I’m 20 mins in this and I’m in awe..... so many simple things that so many of us have missed out on in life ..... thank you for reminding us to embrace the simple
Very good interview covered several aspects of life in Ghana & her personal world - several times problems w/audio
Thanks sis Vanessa brilliant interview.
Muhammad Adam thanks for watching 💫🙌🏽
Fonio! A woman after my own heart! Any African that vibes with Fonio. I love her! She's so attuned to the planet. Good girl! Thanks for the interview Vanessa. Enjoyed this!
Great interview, very interesting.
This conversation really touched my heart as far as raising children and wanting to be in control of everything that happen in their lives overall.The young woman in black reminds me so much of myself when I was raising my children,although they are all grown now,I was ocd to assure that they were well grounded overall,HOWEVER their are many struggles that I now wish they had experienced in order to be able to appreciate things and not feel a sense of entitlement.GREAT VIDEO❤️ NEW SUBSCRIBER 👍🏽
I really enjoyed this, very informative.
This video speaks to my soul. Me and my large family are moving to Takoradi in October. we are super excited and ready to detox from the west.
Have you visited ghana before?
@@eeforest7122 no. I have family there.
Its soo good to hear my thoughts resonate through you, good job making me miss AFRICA EVEN MORE.
Watching this has made me so happy. I am definitely learning to lower my standards, to be more open, but wholeheartedly I am so excited to experience that sense of peace again. To bring my skills and love to Ghana.
Amazing interview. Super insightful
Good Interview. Show love
Hey Vanessa how are you..?
I love watching your beautiful videos they are high quality and contain great content I will be visiting Ghana for the 1st time this September for my birthday so the info you give out is helpful and also fun to watch... I loved that you got to meet up with Passport Heavy he is a great guy and I really enjoy his work also .
Keep up the great work and I will keep supporting you
Peace
OG.ASHER from the grey and boring UK .
Wow! I just found this channel Vanessa. My daddy sent it to me. I just subscribed and love this interview. I went to Kay-Billie-Klaer as well, and I thought she looked familiar.
Oh my god.....loved this interview.! So inspiring ❤️
Very enthralling chat, great sharing your experiences😄.
Vanessa how do you make all of these connections? You interview such interesting people. Love the video as usual💞
Hey! Majority of the people I interview are my friends. I sometimes reach out to other people over Instagram or get a number from a friend or just walk up to them if I see them 🤣. Thank you x
Vanessa Kanbi oh wow! Well good on you. I feel like i’m learning a lot from your vlogging videos, they’re so chill but good quality👌🏾
Great information and interview. Proud to my Ghanaians Sisters 👌🏽❤
I'm so glad Bella spoke on sustainability so helpful to know it's very optimistically possible to live in Ghana
Really like this video. Very insightful, it's a shame it cut out at the end like that. We defintaley need a part 2. The stuff about the salvation army makes sense because if they were doing things correctly you will be able to see the difference by now. I've started to just by clothes for people over here from like Primark H & M, pack it in my suitcase and DIRECTLY give it to people in Ghana. Love this video
That's the way to do it.
Yes, I take the clothes and give over there. Every extra suitcase cost me an extra $200.00. I must be very careful what I pack and always some books and toys for the children.
This is very great interview.
This interview is awesome, and I love the point that she doesn't call them house girls, but helper. She has a very beautiful story. Keep sharing dear
Great conversation/interview. Good one too. Keep it up.
Very informative and it was wonderful listening to these two thoughtful and intelligent women. I am inspired to visit Ghana in 2022.
I am so so impressed with this young lady. Very good interview.
This was such an educational video but the sound kept getting in the way.
Interesting Video of the Part Two. Nii Ayi Ganyo Bi
Awesome interview
This was absolutely a wonderful interview. It was very normative.
I’ve been considering leaving the U.S. for Africa. I’m happy to get ideas from your videos. Thank you
Great interview thanks for this 😃💕
I wish you well for the awareness you are creating in order to save our environment. Keep it up 👆
This was really good, Much respect to you both.
Great interview Vanessa
