Heading into 2026

14/09/2025

My visit to Cape Coast and Elmina Castle,in Ghana has been a profoundly moving experience. The historical weight of the location of Atlantic slave trade has been overwhelmingly. Walking through the dark dungeons and taking in where my ancestors were enslaved and held captive in their hundreds. I felt a deep connection to the unimaginable suffering they would have endured. The imposing building of Elmina Castle sits on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it stands as a harrowing reminder of the cruelty of the slave trade. I had moments to reflect on the horror, the pain,and the inhumanity on those that came before me. But also the resilience of those whose shoulders I stand on today.

This journey has not only deepened my understanding of my heritage but also instilled in me a sense of responsibility to honor the memory and legacy of my ancestors.

People without their knowledge of culture,race or tribe, are like a tree without a root.
