A NEW VIDEO IS FINALLY COMING TONIGHT!! 📣🥳

In between all our travelling around Norway this summer, I finally managed to finish a video from our Takoradi trip that I’ve been SO excited to show you 🤩

This trip originally brought me and Uncle Attah to Takoradi in Ghana’s Western Region with Tha Globe Troupe, but on our very last morning someone recommended one final place for us to check out before driving back to Accra… and it was absolutely NOT what we expected 👀

What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into one of the biggest surprises of the entire trip! We discovered a place we knew almost nothing about, Uncle got genuinely emotional about what he was seeing, and somehow I ended up doing something I had already promised myself TWICE that I would never do again 😭😂

I don’t want to spoil too much because this one is much more fun to discover with us 🙌

The new video goes live TONIGHT at:

🇬🇭 8 PM Ghana
🇬🇧 9 PM UK
🇺🇸 4 PM New York

I hope you guys are still here with us after my little summer break 🥹❤️ And I hope everyone is having an amazing summer wherever in the world you’re watching from!

Who’s watching tonight? 🙋‍♀️❤️

I also just want to take the opportunity to thank this amazing community for all your support. I’ve been seeing new people joining every day, and it genuinely means the world to me 🥹 Welcome to everyone who’s new. I can’t wait to get to know you all more 🫶

The pressure. The people. The planning. The passion. The heart.

This is a story about the people working behind the scenes to represent Ghana well and give visitors an experience they will never forget!

Accra to Takoradi, tour life, international cruise guests, Uncle Attah energy, a side of Ghana tourism I had never seen before… and lots of “only in Ghana” moments 🤩🫶

🇬🇭 8 PM Ghana time
🇬🇧 9 PM UK
🇺🇸 4 PM New York

Are you ready???? 😍🔥
