This visit is significant because we want the Global African & Afro Descendant family to recognize Ghana as the ‘gateway to the ‘motherland” or ”the Black Mecca” where one can reignite their passions, inspirations and connect with people; where one can launch an album, a book, an exhibition, a culinary experience and much much more.
To Kendrick Lamar, his beautiful family, his team and friends, and to our Diaspora we say Akwaaba! The post read.
