Afro-Dutch. 👍😊. I truly believe that you 2 have the right perspective in raising your child. 🎉🎉🎉
I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing guys!
What I’ll say is make sure your son can speak the native language of the father and the native language of the mother , don’t teach him one ane leave one
Definitely
Hello Ileen and Kwame. I just want to assure you that your son will fine. I am speaking from a Ghanaian father living in the United States for about 30 years with two kids. A 25 year old son whose mother is American and a 14 going on 15 year old daughter whose mother is German. None of my kids have a unique identification of their race or culture. For them, they flow in and out of all these cultures because from the day they were born, we have raised them as global citizens. This is because my family lives in the US, England, Italy, Germany and Ghana. So our nurturing philosophy to them are, people and culture are like dumplings, semolina or banku. None is better that the other. We just have preferences. We have and will keep taking them to all these places. We don’t leave the US to find a MacDonald when we are in Ghana. We seek and try all the native foods. They may or may not like it the same way they have food preferences in the States. In this regard, our kids flow in and out of all these countries and cultures seamlessly. My point is do not stress too much about how your son will navigate this world. You guys are already breaking barriers by you being together. The unknown is always something you have never encountered. I have a bunch of mix race cousins, nieces and nephews, and I can assure you they are all are productive individuals. Just be yourself and the kid will be fine ok. Good luck on your journey.
Thank you ☺️
Oh and by the way my nephew from Varese Italy is just graduating from Utrecht University this coming semester. I have been to the Netherlands a few times. That is why the Netherlands is in my sphere of attention. So my cultural absorption keeps expanding. It’s a very small world.
Oooh that's a pretty, pretty dress (+ the hair). Ileen has her motherhood glow on lock. Kwame, you're looking fresh too. I hope you remind your son's godparents to be active ones throughtout his life. It's a really important role.
Ileen looks beautiful! Definite glow. 😊
Ileen said something important . Your son will be seen as black..... in the Netherlands. But in Gh, he will not be seen as black because racial definitions vary here. Those are nuances in his identity that you'll also have to navigate
Very much
Please add some Ghanaian family reaction video.
Nice conversation, I loved it 😍
Glad you did!
My faves 🎉❤
