Hello friends, family, and extended community —

I’m writing to invite you into something I’ve been building with deep intention: a home in Ghana that is more than a place to stay — it’s a long-held vision for rest, return, and cultural reconnection. The home is move-in ready, and I’m within reach of fully securing it.

Located in a peaceful residential suburb just outside Accra, in Ghana’s Greater Accra Region, the home offers calm surroundings with easy access to the city — an ideal setting for rest, creative retreats, and cultural care. Over the past few years, I’ve invested personal funds and energy to bring this dream to life. Now, as I approach the final stage of the property transfer, I’m inviting a growing circle of community support to help me cross the finish line. Your contribution will help preserve this space not just for me, but for future visitors, artists, educators, and others who will benefit from what it has to offer.

A few close supporters have expressed interest in helping, and this campaign is meant to build on that momentum to reach the full amount needed. Your contribution will help preserve this space not just for me, but for future visitors, artists, educators, and others who will benefit from what it has to offer.

Goal: $7,000 by September 6, 2025

Funds raised will go directly toward finalizing the transfer of the property. No construction is needed — the home is fully built and ready to use. With your support, this space can begin serving its purpose immediately as a site of rest, reconnection, and cultural care.

What This Home Represents

A peaceful, welcoming home in Ghana for diaspora return, rest, and renewal

A foundation for future retreats, residencies, and creative gatherings

A space rooted in healing, hospitality, and cultural preservation

This project has always been bigger than me. It’s a seed of something larger — a soft landing, a door back home, a place to breathe and build. Thank you for helping protect this vision.

With appreciation,
