"I have discovered in my travels to Ghana over the past two decades that communing with the Motherland is richest when enjoyed with family and dear friends. As a community returning to the land we were never expected to revisit—whether you are traveling with your tribe or solo—for each of us, it certainly will be a phenomenal Homecoming unlike none other."
