The 77 Percent - The Magazine for Africa's Youth

This week, we explore why Afro-descendants from the Americas and beyond, are choosing to leave their lives in the West to return to their ancestral Africa. We meet a single mother who traded life in Canada for a fresh start in Kenya and a filmmaker who returned to her roots in Sierra Leone. In Ghana, we hear from some of the over 1,000 African Americans now calling it home.
