In 2010, I made a trip to Ghana, W. Africa. It was 6 months that changed my life. For me, it was an important part of piecing together my identity. I swore I& #39;d come back. So in 2013, I made the move from Southern Californa to Ghana, West Africa & I haven& #39;t looked back. [Thread]
Firstly, my name is Tiffany. Originally from L.A, California and by trade I& #39;m a freelance writer and editor. I& #39;m 35 years old (elder millennial https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌🏾" title="Siegeshand (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Siegeshand (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">) and I& #39;m a mama to two girls. I live in Ghana with them and my lovely mother.
People greet each other in the street and children are polite to a fault. My mother says it’s a lot like growing up in the south (minus the racism of course). Ghanaians overall are notoriously friendly people.
Ghanaians also only have a vague sense of linear time. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> This is annoying but there& #39;s e a joke that GMT stands for Ghana Man Time. You just have to accept that you’re gonna have “Omg I’ve been waiting for this man for an hour” moments & he’s texted he’s almost there 3 times.
Hey all, thanks for the love. Hello to my new followers. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👋🏽" title="Waving hand (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Waving hand (mittlerer Hautton)"> My notifications and inbox are exploding. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> I& #39;m glad so many appreciated my story.
