Returnees' - Resource Site Launched to Help Relocate to Ghana!
For Immediate Release
Cultural heritage tourism specialist Adrienne Cooke of New York, has partnered with Alfred Mensah of Ghana to create a valuable Africa- African Diaspora resource tool designed to assist people who are interested in moving to Ghana. Their new venture appropriately name “Returnees” is a YouTube site for cultural enthusiasts, tourists, and anyone who wants to learn about Ghana. The main objective of Returnees is to assist anyone interested in relocating to Ghana. But travelers looking to just visit and explore the tantalizing African country should check out "Returnees" also.
What is a Returnee? A person who returns to a place after a long absence is a returnee. Many black people from the Diaspora who are descendants from ancestors who were taken away forcibly are returning back to Africa after 400 years. In 2019, over 788,000 people of African descent in the Diaspora visited Ghana. This was after an invitation from president Nana Akufo-Addo, current president of Ghana lodged a campaign to invite them to return to Ghana for the 400th to celebrate 400th anniversary of the beginning of slavery that began in August 1619.
