    My heart goes our to this young man. Your life in Australia sounds like life in the USA.
    I am so sad for you. I know it had to be very hard. Also Kentucky has some of the worst history of raysysm in the USA. I'm so sad that you went to Kentucky.
    I am so happy that you made it this far. I will pray for your healing. It's sad that our brothers and sisters in Africa and the Caribbean don't know how traumatizing it is to live in the West. I spent most of my life in the USA and it is very difficult to recover from the trauma of living there.

    In Sydney, Australia, there are over 10,000 Ghanaians out here. Where has this guy been? You find us working everywhere...corporate, healthcare, hospitality, taxis. Ghanaians have been coming to Australia since the very early 1960s. We have African shops selling Kenkey, shitto, fish and all. There are parties, funerals, churches and all. The paddy miss out big time. Oh Perth diɛ we no dey like there😅. There dry pass kako😅

    You're back, Nappie!!! Thanks for this video. Always good to see Africans who have a mixed culture and come home and feel the connection. His story is very compelling, his parents splitting up and he and his sister challenged to fit in. Then he meets his dad as an adult man and the whole experience is deep and compelling. The African experience is so touching, too. I like that he defines himself as "Ghanaian." Great video, interview.

    Ghana youth should stop wasting time complaining and use the brain wisely and creatively.
