If you’re considering relocating to Ghana why not check out the Back to the Motherland Official Trailer by documentary filmmaker Pamela Sakyi (founder/director of SparkleLight Productions).

This documentary is the sequel to British Ghanaians: Lost In Translation which explored language endangerment in Ghanaian communities across the diaspora.
Pamela’s latest documentary explores the reasons why some British Ghanaians in the diaspora are relocating back to Ghana.
Pamela Sakyi and me behind the scenes of the documentary.
Pamela also considers her own ancestral roots in Ghana and personal reasons for wanting to relocate to the town her family are from. The documentary features me, Dentaa Amoateng MBE, Michael Richardson (co-founder of Destination Africa), Entrepreneur Harm Kay, Lorissa Akua, (founder of The Only Way is Ghana), Papa Owusu-Ankomah (Ghana High Commissioner) Patrick Adom (founder of Very Puzzled), Yaw Awibah and many more.
The documentary was officially screened in October 2019 as part of the Year of Return events initiative here.
I am a London-born journalist and bookworm originating from Ghana. My name is Abena Sɛwaa but I’m also known by the nickname MisBeee.
I launched MisBeee Writes in 2013 as a way to record thoughts that (at the time) had no public outlet. The blogspot took on a life of its own and became my way of recording the inspiring stories of everyday people; keeping a timeless record of cultural events and opinions from Africans in the Diaspora. The site focusses on health, culture, the arts, business and society, and explores how Africans are shaping and disrupting conventional thinking and discourse in these areas.
