Accra, Ghana — In 2019, Ghana's president invited African descendants in the diaspora to mark the "Year of Return," commemorating 400 years since the first Africans arrived in the colony now known as Virginia on a slave ship. The invite prompted record tourism to Ghana, and an increase in Americans who applied for visas to stay.
But it was the events in the United States in 2020, and the Black Lives Matter movement, that drove a real surge in people looking to move out of America and into Africa.(snip)
Sonjiah Davis was the epitome of Washington cool. She was a well-connected, successful therapist trained to deal with emotional health. And yet, living in the capital of the United States, she says she was constantly looking over her shoulder.
"I was living what people would consider the American dream," she told Patta. "I was educated, professional. I had friends. I was a socialite… but I never felt safe."
Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA, from the transatlantic slave trade to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 that saw some of her family displaced from their homes.
The trauma of racism, she said, was "beginning to take an emotional and psychological toll."
"I didn't even realize how traumatized I was, especially in regards to police," she told CBS News. "My immediate thought all the time was, 'Oh, my gosh, you know, what if a police officer pulls me over? Am I going to be physically safe? Am I going to come out of it alive?'"(snip)
"I was barely holding on. I could feel myself nearing a nervous breakdown," she said. "That's why I made the decision that I had to get out of there."

I wish her well. I really do.
Just don’t vote absentee in the US.
I’m happy to contribute to that fund. Would love a country in Africa that wasn’t corrupt and tribal. There isn’t one now. I miss Rhodesia and Suid Afrika.
Fantastic!
Well it sure sounds like she needed a change of pace. Moving to Ghana sounds extreme, but if she’s so paranoid here and can afford it, why not try it?
I expect she’ll be back in the USA eventually.
I guarantee you they are NOT giving up their passports.
Hard to make long term plans in a country that has a marxist revolution every decade or so.
Maybe American blacks can help Africa. Stranger things have happened.
“Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA, from the transatlantic slave trade to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 that saw some of her family displaced from their homes.”
She is mental.
Talk about a victim mentality - and she’s a psychotherapist who treats people??
“Don’t let the Door of No Return hit you in your ample backside, sweetheart.”
Now she can use her 23andMe account to meet all her distant cousins whose ancestors sold her own ancestors into slavery.
That’s what establishing Liberia was all about. But it turned into a shiitehole just like all the others.
Such a paranoid drama queen.
She didn’t realize how traumatized till the MSM brainwashed her.
It might turn them into Freedom loving Americans when they see how Africans have to live.
“Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA”
There’s one we won’t miss. Her departure will raise the national IQ.
“I never felt safe.”
“Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA, from the transatlantic slave trade to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 that saw some of her family displaced from their homes.”
Oh, come on! My ancestors were abused horribly in Germany and England. They suffered in a sod house on the prairie for a DECADE. Everybody has ancestors who had miserable lives.
What a kook. This sounds like what the shrinks like to focus on — “repressed memories” except in her case it goes back hundreds of years.
Her GF is named Destiny?
She is (probably) not mental. Its that all the media she consumes and all the people she speaks with, within her circle of acquaintance, all repeat the same memes, so what she thinks feels true, even if the stats and reality don’t justify the narrative. This is what brainwashing really is, it is what was described in Gramsci’s concept of the hegemony.
Gramsci should be a must-read (the “Prison Notebooks” anyway). Yes of course he was a communist, but his ideas about the way culture works are actually non-political, and can be applied in any direction.
It’s not cousin Ray Ray and Pookie going to Africa. It’s likely educated blacks, but I’d bet they’ll come back.
