Accra, Ghana - Afia Khalia Tweneboa Kodua, then a resident of Los Angeles, still remembers the day she left Ghana in 2011 on her first trip there.  "I am not a public emotional person so I got to the airport and asked [myself]: 'what is this? Are those tears?"

"It was clear something had awoken in me and ignited in me and I have to come back. My ancestors are telling me; I have to come back," she told Al Jazeera.
