This Woman’s Remarkable Experience In a Slave Dungeon Inspired Her To Leave America for Ghana

Posted byBy Ricky Riley | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

A native New Yorker decided to go back to Ghana at age 50 after a stunning experience in one of its horrific slave dungeons.

In the clip, Imahküs Njinga Okofu Ababio tells the interviewer that she did not want to go to Africa initially.

She left behind her 14-year career as a human resource administrator to live in Ghana after having a spiritual epiphany. In 1990, she and her husband packed up and sold everything to go to Ghana.

Ababio says the media did not show Africa in the best light. As a result to the misrepresentation, she associated Tarzan with the continent.

“… No body’s wearing clothes,” she explains. ” No, I didn’t want to come to Africa, because there was nothing good told to us about Africa.”

However, she states that when she arrived in Ghana, she saw a different kind of Africa.

“We went to the slave forts and dungeons,” she recalls. ” There’s no air, small windows, and the place still smells … As I stood there in the women’s dungeon, the room started filling up. There were women there. Some were naked, half-dressed, and they were crying… And gradually I could feel people touching me, comforting me.”

The experience changed her life.

Now, Ababio and her husband have been living in Ghana for 25 years and counting.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
