Ghanaian Adventures: A Journey to Inclusive Travel with Akosua Shirley

Traveling within Ghana and other countries on the African continent has been something that has been growing very much within the community of Ghanaians and Africans. I speak mainly for Ghanaians as I am Ghanaian and I have a better judgment speaking on this topic with regards to Ghana. It is beautiful to see many of us appreciating the motherland and slowly understanding that a vacation can be had within one’s own country and also the sheer curiosity many have in knowing the Ghanaian culture. I speak with Akosua Shirley who intrigued me with her love for traveling across the different regions in Ghana and other countries outside of Ghana as a way people patronise what we have as a country.

A Nourishing Change: A Vegan Journey with Zuu

On this episode, Zuu and I discuss his journey as a vegan and a vegan content creator. Being someone who consumes his content, It was a delight speaking to him and shedding more light on what he does as a vegan content creator because I believe he has a relatable voice within the space of vegan content creation in Ghana and beyond. If you're someone flirting with the idea of a vegan lifestyle or someone who is already on their vegan journey this is worth the watch.
