July 20th,
Before I get into Uganda, I must properly end my journey in
Ghana. There are clearly experiences I had that I did not record, but it was
truly an amazing, eye opening experience for me. In my few days in Ghana, I was
able to go back to the town where I was raised before coming to the States,
Assin Fosu, I spent some days with my grandmother, the one and only true love
of my existence, and I saw my father whose presence was definitely a mere
memory in the back of my mind. There were tears, laughs, old stories retold to
me of ridiculous things I did in my childhood, people whom I had grown up with
who now had careers and children. And so many other things too personal to
share. But this was a well needed trip back to my blood land.
