This isn't a tour. It's a sacred crossing.
From Roots to Renewal: Ghana 2026-27 is designed by African Americans in the Diaspora. Every site, ceremony, meal, and silence is intentional. You will leave Ghana with a new name, a new sense of who you are, and a clearer sense of why you’re here.
Ten days of reflection, accountability, joy, and trust — walking through Cape Coast Castle and the Door of No Return, receiving a Ghanaian name from local elders, meeting chiefs, artisans, and entrepreneurs across Accra, Cape Coast, and Kumasi.
