Nii Armah Quaye and Kristin Tellis Quaye are the founders of Certified Africa. A travel and lifestyle company that is assisting the African Diaspora to travel, relocate, and start businesses in Ghana and other African countries. They are a Ghanaian and African-American/Caribbean couple. Nii was born and raised in Ghana for 25 plus years before moving to America and making a conscious decision to go back and do business. Kristin has lived, studied, and worked in Ghana for extended periods of time and has started several businesses with her husband Nii in Ghana. They live between Ghana and the States as they build a bridge between the African Diaspora and Africa.
Nii & Kristin’s Blaxit Blueprint:
1. Manage Your Mindset – Kristin and Nii encourage those who are considering relocating to the Motherland to begin their journey by doing some internal work on their mindset and managing expectations so as not to carry maladaptive western beliefs to Africa.
2. Be Relational – Unlike America, Ghana (and the Continent) is all about relationships. Utilizing a trusted partner, like Certified Africa, to establish connections will make your journey go much smoother.
3. Economic Opportunity – Ghana offers an incredible amount of opportunity for members of the diaspora. From entrepreneurship to land ownership, the possibilities are endless. The goal should always be to enrich Ghana (Africa), not to take from it.
