PROF. MANU AMPIM'S pioneering insight on Dr. Carter G. Woodson's scholarship on Africa.

Delivered on February 20, 2025 at the 26th Annual African Heritage Month Community Celebration at Contra Costa College (CCC). Sponsored by the CCC African American Staff Association.

🇬🇭 What drives a successful American to leave it all behind and move to Africa?
In this powerful conversation, Tim Swain (@MrTimSwain) shares how a mission trip changed the course of his life and led him from Texas to Ghana — not just geographically, but spiritually and purposefully.

🧠 We dive deep into topics like:

Why African Americans are searching for something deeper

The role of faith and calling in life decisions

The realities of living in Ghana as a Black American

Identity, diaspora, and building bridges across cultures

🔥 Whether you're from Africa or the diaspora, this episode will challenge how you see purpose, success, and home.
