Back to Africa? For some African-Americans, the answer is yes

A steady trickle of African-Americans find a homeland in Africa, whether motivated by love, money, or a desire to connect with ancestral roots. Ghana has become a particularly popular destination.

Jimmy Thorne says that relocating to Ghana is one of the best moves he’s ever made.

It doesn’t matter if he, an African-American, gets called “obroni,” the local word for white person, in the streets, or if some of his family can’t quite figure out what he’s doing in this West African nation so far from his roots in North Carolina.

In his eight years in Ghana, he has found his wife, reconnected with God, and even manages to play golf daily. Ghana is home to him now.

Military personnel take part in a parade during a ceremony marking the 57th anniversary of Ghana's independence at the Independence Square in central Accra March 6, 2014. Ghana has become the destination of choice for African-Americans looking for a spiritual home, if not an ancestral one, on the African continent.

I'm American and moved to Senegal in 1999 with my three children. I was a divorced mom of 2 boys and a girl. It's not difficult to move - just get a passport and buy a ticket. Stop shuckin' and jiving folks!

Look up SenegalStyle on google and contact me IF you are serious. I have a b&b and do tours as well as relocation packages. If you just want to chit chat, i'm sorry, at this time I can't but I can refer you to many online posts I have done previously!
