About Us

We came 

From lands not originally our own

Lands our ancestors were dragged to in chains 

Lands were people exploited us because of our skills, strong bodies, 

and rich melanin that allowed us to bear the sun 

Our beautiful colors of honey, cocoa, milk chocolate and blackberries distinguished us 

But never in a good way

Generations bore pain, suffering and heartaches 

We survived, thrived and built and 

Contributed to lands and nations that were 

Never to be our own 

And then, through love, motivation, curiosity 

Or an answer to a clarion call 

We came to Ghana 

At last on the land mass of Africa - our true home 

And no matter whether on the spot or close by our original family 

We are embraced 

For we are the Daughters of the Middle Passage 

We are returning to live, work, love and grow 

And we move like all dedicated children of Africa 

To build our families 

Make our homes

Help the nation 

And reclaim our glory
