Going Back to my roots.

Moving to the UK from Africa at the age of 10 was both exciting as well as traumatic for me. I moved here because of my fathers death to live with my mother who had moved here 5 years prior. One thing that never left me was knowing that I have a home away from home. For a long time though I did kind of forget and I found myself clubbing and spending money on things that didn't really matter. It was not until I was 29 that I got the opportunity to go back home to try and do something with our land, my father left me and my siblings a farm. I spent 6 months in my country reviving our farm with some great success, my siblings and I have now been working on the farm for the past 2 years employing locals and providing our crop to local super markets. The next step is for me to build my film studios there and train some local rural kids on film production so I can help go tell our stories, our way. Moving back is now my main motivation.

Are they any other Africans or, who have reconnected with their native countries and plan on going back home?

In the pictures below you can see some before and after photos.
