She explained that her ability to maintain strong ties to her homeland by following Ghanaian news and staying in regular contact with friends and family back home have contributed immensely to her content direction.
"Even though I live in the Netherlands, Ghana will always be my home, and I try to stay updated and engaged with what's happening there," she said.
Living in the Netherlands opened Ohemaa Connie's eyes to Ghana's unique vibrancy. The contrast between Dutch reserve and Ghanaian warmth inspired her content creation journey.
"In the Netherlands, people are friendly but often keep to themselves, which is very different from the warmth and energy in Ghana. I wanted to show the world how beautiful Ghana is, how welcoming our people are, and highlight our diverse cultures and traditions beyond Accra," she noted.
Ohemaa Connie strategically crafts content that resonates with both diaspora and homeland audiences. She uses English to ensure international accessibility while incorporating Ghanaian jokes, traditions, and everyday life elements that speak directly to Ghanaian viewers.
"This way, everyone can connect with the content, whether they're in Ghana or abroad," she explained.
