However, the American woman said coming back to Ghana on a second visit had made her realise how much they have been brainwashed not to return to their motherland.
I have been in Ghana for the past weeks and surprisingly, this is what I have learnt; Africans do not hate us. Africans don't hate us at all. As a matter of fact, that is what the media tells us, so we don't come here, so we don't connect with our culture, with our people, with our roots," she stated.
She stated that being in Ghana brings her so much peace and she receives genuine love from the people.
The American woman urged black people in the diaspora to visit the continent to experience things for themselves.
"They show us the worst part of Africa, so we are not interested in coming, but it is all a lie. I have not been mistreated at all since I have been here. I have actually been shown a lot of love. They love to see us coming back," she added.
