Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

In case you haven’t already gotten the memo – 2019 is all about Ghana. The country’s “Year of Return” campaign has Black people from across the globe flocking to the Gold Coast excited to experience their “home” away from home.

From every day people to celebrities like Steve and Marjorie Harvey, it seems like everyone and their momma – literally – is in Ghana this year. One woman who always knew Ghana was lit and never needs an invitation to visit, is business badass Bozoma Saint John. As the #BlackGirlMagic behind the country’s Full Circle Festival in December and a “daughter of the soil,” you can always count on her to show you the real beauty of Ghana.

Currently, Bozoma is in town for the annual Chale Wote Street Art Festival, and the photos of her adventures have us ready to go to the Motherland tonight. From trips to the market, to partying with Kofi Siriboe, to meeting royalty alongside Colin Kaepernick to just being flat out fabulous, we are living our best lives through her.
