She went on to state that her experience had rubbished certain narratives and misconceptions they had been made to believe.

The young American lady, who labelled herself as an advocate for exploring the world, urged her compatriots to travel outside their comfort zones and experience other cultures.
“At this point, I love sharing my experiences with you guys. It’s not about inciting any type of debate; it’s about the experience and the fact that you can live a quality life outside of the US.”

Reactions to US lady's Ghana relocation experience
Social media users who took to the comment section of the video shared varied views on her experience in Ghana:
LesMess commented:
“I’m looking into relocating to Africa from the United States. I need to experience something new, even if it means leaving the family behind, since they are not interested in moving. Thanks for sharing your experience.”
Kim opined:
“Where is this? Because I went to Ghana and I saw nothing remotely as nice as what you showed in this video.”
Ms. Rae added:
“I went to the Bahamas just on vacation and realised the Black experience in America is traumatic. It really is! It was nice to be seen and celebrated.”
BrowneNerdyGurl added:
“People are talking about not getting what they're used to. But how about trying new things, or even going without? When you leave the US, you realise you never really needed to visit all those stores or buy half of the stuff you used to buy.”
