Beyond the Return Q & A: Black Americans in Ghana #2

As I meet various Black Americans living or visiting Ghana, I will ask each guest 4 questions regarding their stay in Ghana. Each question is geared to help our international and domestic audience create an experience in Ghana that will be fullfiling and rewarding for everyone involved. We believe this series will help improve Ghana / Black American relations and continue to allow Ghana to be a lighthouse for members of the Diaspora worldwide.

In installment number 2 of our we are featuring Tyree Busbee. Busbee is a Black American from Alabama who has now been living in Ghana for over 1 year. Titus and his twin brother Titus have been working in the agricultural sector as farmers.

1. Most Pleasant Surprise
"The respect the women of Ghana give to the men. You can have a selection of high quality women here. It's not like in America where you kind of have to take what you get".

2. Biggest Disappointment
"The scamming and finessing that comes from excessive hawking from the vendors. also, the pressure that comes with people trying to barter unfair trades, it can get overwhelming".

3. One Positive Tip
"Save your money before coming to live here. If you expect to live the lifestyle you are used to in America, or the lifestyle you expect to live as an American in Ghana, you have to save your money and prepare properly".

4. One Tip of Caution
"If you come to live here don’t think you can come here and be isolated. Link up with other diaspora members and join community of people and build together".
