One thing I *love* about the Afrofuture festival is that you see so *many* black people from *all* over the world going to ghana to celebrate. When you go, you'll see Carribeans, Blk Americans, Ghanaians, Blk people from Europe, Blk ppl from Canada, and other Africans from other parts of Africa visiting. The experience is so freakin *dope* around December time in Ghana. I just *love* seeing *all* of us come together for December time. ❤❤❤

Any chance of staging Soul to Soul 2. It will be 52 years on 6/3/2024 since the last Soul To Soul was staged in Ghana. Please give it a thought

Abdul is a true *visionary* Iwish him nothing but the best he's a smart brotha. I hope continues to gain *more* success in the future with Afrofuture (Afrochella) and gain more success with other projects that he is working on outside of Afrofuture. He's a smart brotha. I wish him nothing but the best. 💯💯

@FlyExpats Год назад

Went to Afrochella in 2019 and again in 2022. One of the best festivals in the world and is definitely for the culture! A little more organization would go a long way but really looking forward to AfroFuture.

@peacefuljoy1197 Год назад

I love the idea of AfroFuture chartering flights. Delta absolutely is taking advantage of the desire to return to Africa. And many other airlines are falling short and not offering direct flights. I also feel like we need more black owned hotels in Accra. I love the Kempinski but we need to make sure that the money spent in Ghana actually continued to circulate throughout Black communities.

@bilhas52 Год назад

Man you kats are off the chain. Y'all are New wall street and have torn down the old wall on wall street. Your business model is blessed and ground breaking. The accolades can go on and on. The biggest take away is, Success is a Result, and I can only imagine what y'all's results will be. I truly believe y'all will have inspired a super high level of business awareness and acumen in the African American community. I pray 🤲🏽 for complete success and complete awareness for our community because of this wonderful platform. Thanks for your sacrifice and work that's bringing together past and present.

@KP-mr5nb Год назад

I notice that there is a lot of focus on Ghana. Africa is a huge continent with a lot of countries. There really needs to be a push by the other African countries to bring people back home. Africa has the resources and land while black America is a multi trillion dollar group....I see a perfect marriage here! But first Africa must stabilize its infrastructure........roads, healthcare, electricity, water etc. If people leave America they should be able to let go of their US citizenship and never need to return unless they are just visiting friends and family.
