The Year of the Return is Ghana’s campaign, declared by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, encouraging African descendants to come home to the Motherland. Involved in the campaign are celebs like Boris Kodjoe, Gabby Sidibe, Jidenna, Steve Harvey and Bozoma Saint John.

Recently, Saint John documented her trip home to Ghana, sharing local hotspots, partying with Kofi Siriboe, and dining with royalty in fashionable threads.

Visit the Independence Square.

Also known as Black Star Square, this monumental area is located in Accra and was commissioned for construction in 1957, the same year Ghana gained its independence. The Black Star Gate, the second-largest independence square in the world, symbolizes the essence of the people in Ghana. Normally empty, this huge square open to the public and now hosts special celebrations such as military parades, concerts, occasional fashion shows, and national festivals. It is also known as a memorial of the Unknown Solider.
