Why I moved to Ghana from the US

This month marks 400 years since the first African slaves arrived in the United States and the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade. Overall some 12 million enslaved Africans were transported across the Atlantic.

This year is also Ghana's 'Year of Return', an initiative launched by the Ghanaian government to encourage the African diaspora to come back to Ghana.
