BTG For President Episode #380
I take you on an unforgettable journey to Ghana, a trip that redefined my view on life, culture, and privilege. From December 29th to January 6th, I immersed myself in the motherland—its vibrant streets, resilient people, and deeply emotional history. Let’s talk about the highs, the lessons, and the life-changing moments.
I share my first impressions of Ghana’s heat and chaos, the powerful cultural experiences like visiting slave dungeons, and the undeniable hustle of its people. The locals taught me what it means to survive and thrive despite limited resources. Kids running up with smiles and handmade trinkets, women balancing propane tanks on their heads, and the generosity of a culture rich in pride and tradition—all of it left me speechless.
We didn’t just see the beauty, though; we felt the weight of its history and the struggles of modern-day life there. The trip highlighted my privilege in ways I hadn’t expected. From KFC jollof rice to nights filled with emotions and new perspectives, Ghana left a permanent mark on my heart.
This episode is more than a travel diary—it's a testament to the transformative power of experiencing the world beyond your bubble.
