The Year of Return initiative urges Africans in the diaspora to come back home, an initiative that has seen an impressive array of celebrities, including Steve Harvey, make their way to Ghana to explore, learn and appreciate their roots.
Recently, rapper Sarkodie, in his acceptance speech after winning the Best International Flow at BET’s Hip Hop Awards, urged African-Americans to come home as Ghana as part of the Year of Return.
Sarkodie was subsequently appointed an ambassador for the Year of Return.
