  <description>Greetings Glocal Citizens!
This week on the podcast we’re back on the trailblazing path and once again, it is all about Destination Africa! Our guides are my guests, the Ghanaian-Briton duo Abena and Ekow Richardson, the co-founders of Destination Africa, which, through programs, workshops, dvds, channels, live streams and other merchandise offers a wealth of knowledge in African languages, culture, heritage and lifestyle. With backgrounds in software engineering, the hair and fashion industries, and professional basketball the Destination Africa journey began for Ekow once he became a father with the decision to apply his passions to inspiring and empowering the next generation of young leaders. As a homeschooling mum, Abena is also the main facilitator for Destination Africa. She uses her energetic, coordinated, innovative, loving, exciting, and disciplined teaching style to deliver results while her partner uses his IT skills as the technological mind behind all things Destination Africa. Together this family affair is one to watch as a primer on planning a relocating a family and a business in uncertain times.
