Ghana Year of Return: 15 Things To Know Before You Go!

After receiving my Ancestry DNA results,

I decided to plan a Solo Trip to the Motherland. West Africa was in my sights, but I didn't know what Country I wanted to visit. After extensive research and connecting with other fellow solo travelers on Facebook Travel Groups, I decided to book a Trip to Ghana with Ghana Dipci Tours.

I’ve put together some traveler tips for those planning a trip to Ghana for the "Year of Return," the 400th to commensurate the arrival of captured Africans to the U.S. In remembrance of this monumental date, Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo declared and formally launched the "Year of Return, Ghana 2019" for Africans in the Diaspora.

Yay, Spring is here! Let's face it, we all can use some motivation to get this season cranked n gear! It's been a long winter and I'm looking forward to warm weather, long vacations, maxi dresses, and flip-flops!

Speaking of long vacations, I'm always searching for a good read to get me through long layovers and extended flights.

No matter your hue, the Melanated Goddesses below will sprinkle some black girl magic in your life to lift your spirits just in time for the new season!

Organize Kaos Is Traveling to Brazil!

I’ve always wanted to visit the beautiful beaches of Rio De Janeiro, witness the marvelousness of Christ the Redeemer, and experience the culture of the 2nd largest black population in the world next to Nigeria, but was deterred by the high cost and strict Visa requirements for US citizens.

Well, the day may soon come where it’s much easier to visit Brazil!
