Overview

Take part in a customary naming ceremony to embrace Ghanaian culture. This experience is particularly meaningful for African American and Caribbean diasporas, as it allows them to connect with their heritage and ancestors. You can join a rural Ghanaian village community to take part in authentic traditional activities and enjoy a warm traditional naming ceremony. During the ceremony, you will be given your birth identity and name, accompanied by traditional drumming and dancing. Additionally, you will receive a Ghanaian name, a certificate of recognition, and traditional Ghanaian beads that are personalised for you as a symbol of returning to your roots. The ceremony will be conducted by a respected elder known for his or her high moral standards. This is a wonderful opportunity to become part of and establish connections with a community in Ghana. Welcome back to your roots!
