#USA #webnationafrica #diasporatransition We Didn't Leave America Because We Were Broke... We Left for Peace Why would an American family leave everything behind and relocate to Ghana? In this episode of Webnation, we meet Courtney and Kyrie Player, a family from Michigan who made the life-changing decision to leave the United States in search of something they felt was disappearing back home: peace, safety, family values, and time together. They explain why they no longer wanted to raise their son in America, what surprised them most after moving to Ghana, and how their expectations compared to reality. You'll also get a complete tour of their rental home in Accra, an honest breakdown of their monthly expenses, and a candid discussion about the challenges and rewards of building a new life in West Africa.
