Customer Reviews
Love Them
I love this podcast it’s everything! Great content ladies, keep up the good work.
Right on time!
So happy I found this podcast! As a Haitian- American who’s strongly considering moving abroad (with Ghana high on my list), I’m so happy to hear their perspectives. This has been super informative and the hosts have dope personalities. Looking forward to more episodes :)
Can’t wait to learn!
So proud of my Spelman sister Lakeshia, I remember her coming back to school junior year and said she was going to move back! She has immersed herself in the culture and with her partner given us a window into the Africa “they” didn’t tell us about! Love Yard Abroad! - Jasmine W.
