Conscious Conversation: Reflections on the Black Experience in Ghana brings together local leaders, culture shapers, and community members to explore how travel to Ghana shapes identity, purpose, and Diasporic connection. As Nashville prepares to welcome the Ambassador of Ghana for an official visit, this gathering creates space for reflection, storytelling, and collective imagination rooted in the African Diaspora. 🇺🇸 🇬ğŸ‡
A welcome reception will offer guests traditional drumming, dance, Ghanaian cuisine, and music inspired by DJ Braveheart's (Kimeo Smith) visit to Ghana. Guests are encouraged to wear cultural attire, though not required.
Following the reception, we'll move to the Roots Theater for musical performances by Ruby Amanfu, Esi and Jahwin, Ghanaian-American musicians rooted in Nashville.
A moderated panel conversation follows, featuring voices from Nashville who have traveled to Ghana and returned with new questions about leadership, community, and what the Diaspora can build together.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, proceeds from this event will benefit the Ghana Association of Middle Tennessee scholarship fund.
