She told the host, Prince Benjamin,

“Well, I think my first experience, I was young; I was a young kid and I got here and I came alone and from this again I had never really traveled anywhere but as soon as I got here, people just helped me, they were friendly and I was afraid and within the first hour, I was no longer afraid at all. I just had one good experience after another. People were friendly, open, intelligent and the music was terrific, so, all that combined, it won me over’’.

“I love how the streets, they’re not super bustling. People seem calm and relaxed, not too aggressive. Other parts of West Africa, you go into the city and you feel aggressed just by walking outside, it’s not the vibe here. People smile a lot here, it’s really unusual and I’ve been to about 18 different African countries so far which is a lot and I’ve never had such a nice warm smile from so many people as Accra and this is a city I know people are under stressed and are working hard but everybody seems to have time to smile and this is really comfortable’’.
