About this trip

After years of living in America and traveling back and forth to Ghana on a regular basis to visit my father, I made the decision to move to Ghana. That’s right! All my earthly possessions along with my dogs, three of them, were packed in a matter of three weeks after the decision was made and I’ve never regretted following where I feel God pointed.

Now I want to share with you everything I’ve fallen in love with. The sights and sounds, the people, the food, the art and fashion, the music, the atmosphere! But most of all the sense of wholeness I feel in this place. I felt it the first time I came—a familiarity I couldn’t explain. It was as if I had returned to my original home, my original self… it healed me. I know you will feel the same way too. 

Join me for, not just a journey, but an experience! This is not your typical tour. I’ve thoughtfully laid out a plan that promises to enrich, empower and transform you. And I will be with you every step of the way!

From the rich historic sights to the eclectic mix of old and new world culture, and breath-taking nature, along with a soul searching session with me I promise this will be a life changing journey back to you. 

And let’s not forget the fabulous shopping, delicious food, jaw dropping fashion and art! Ghana awaits you and you will never be the same after a visit. This is not the Africa you’ve been told about! So come--- Come Home with Michelle!

WHY GHANA?

Ghana is considered one of the jewels of Africa. A peaceful Democratic nation that is considered one of the fastest growing economies in the world, it has become an inviting beacon and major tourist attraction. The Year of Return, a tribute to the end of the 400 year slave trade, opened the door to a barrage of celebrities and visitors from around the world that have not stopped coming. Opportunities for business, trade and purchasing real estate have attracted those in search of a greater quality of life. Who knows? Your visit may be the beginning of a new life for you!

WHY VISIT GHANA WITH MICHELLE?

Michelle is the sister/friend everyone wishes they had. Her personable, down to earth spirit makes travel and touring effortless and fun!! When are the dates? I’m coming back, y’all! --Angela Rye, CEO Impact Strategies, Attorney, Political Commentator on CNN, Political Analyst on NPR

This tour will be invaluable to any visitor desiring to truly experience one of the Crown Jewels in the Motherland." --Roland Martin, Host/Managing Editor of Roland Martin Unfiltered, Political Analyst & Commentator


There is no better way to visit Ghana other than with Michelle McKinney Hammond.  Not only does she have the right connections to give you a VIP experience, you will leave with a sincere love for Ghana and it’s rich culture, fashion, history, and beauty.  From the dining, entertainment and shopping of Accra to historical Dutch slave ports and beaches of Cape Coast, she knows it all intimately.  Michelle truly provides a five-star experience you won’t soon forget and a yearning to go back “home” again and again. -- Peggy Austin, Founder & CEO, GoldStar Communications, Chicago, IL, USA


My first experience visiting Ghana was at the invitation of Michelle McKinney Hammond! And what an amazing time I had! Michelle is the optimal host… She knows everyone from the church folks to the president! The shopping was absolutely spectacular, and the food was phenomenal! Don’t miss this opportunity to come home with Michelle! 

--Dr. Teresa Hairston, Publisher/Emeritus “Gospel Today” Magazine, Founder Gospel Heritage Foundation Writer, Writing Coach


In 2012, I was privileged to “Come Home with Michelle” to Ghana, West Africa. I was turning 60 and wanted to do something extraordinary for my birthday. The trip was out of this world.  We toured the Nkrumah’s Mausoleum, the Art Center, and the slave dungeons at Cape Coast. We shopped at the Market, where we purchased Kente’ cloth and (the name of the fabric shop, where we bought fabric to be crafted into beautiful designer pieces by Vanessa Harrison. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, we partied at the Jazz Bar +232. I will never forget turning 60, thanks to Michelle! --Dr. Cynthia L. Hale, Pastor Ray of Hope Church, Conyers, Georgia 


To Michelle, my new friend. Spending a day with you in Ghana was the gift that kept giving. The fabric store you took me to has inspired a new and powerful body of work to be released soon. You are a beautiful Spirit and your generosity is unmatched. I give thanks to the Most High for connecting our spirits and making us friends. And I love! love! The bracelet you gifted me!!! --Leroy Campbell, Renowned Artist, Atlanta Georgia 


"One of the most transformative and soul enriching experiences of my life was my Ghana naming ceremony, held at the Accra home of Michelle McKinney Hammond. It felt like returning to my soul and retrieving something that had been missing for generations in my family. As a Black American and descendant of those taken from the African continent and enslaved, like millions of my brothers and sisters, I had been cut off from African roots and lineage. This electrifying opportunity strengthened my legacy and my faith." -- Charreah Katie Afua Jackson, Author, Speaker, Impact and Growth Coach, Consultant, Atlanta, Georgia


Michelle gave me more than just a tour of Ghana; she created an experience of a life time.  She is welcoming, knowledgeable, and creative in her approach, which makes her tours like no other.   She provided invaluable insight regarding the culture, history, and local “go to” spots that made me feel at home.   Once you go on a tour with Michelle, you will never want to leave. 

-- Jocelyn J. Jones,  Author, Minister, Chicago, Illinois


There was never a dull moment!  Michelle showed me the beauty of the land, food, culture and people of Ghana!  Some sights made me cry to be honest, but what I learned is so worth the pain!  I will be back! -- Dana Stevens, One Love

I was truly impressed with the hotel accommodations. And Michelle's staff OMG what a pleasant well-mannered well spoken educated African men I loved it. The food for me was a hit and a miss. But you must everyone must experience the marketplace shopping. I tell you what a overwhelming delight for me. Michelle herself beautiful songstress beautiful personality. A women that knows every one, and can get you what you want in Ghana!!! I love her to the Moon and back. I would recommend every black person go to Africa. Don't go alone, take a family member take a close friend be informed, and learn the truth about your history. I would go again thank you Michelle

This was an amazing trip that I enjoyed immensely. We actually got indoctrinated into the culture of the country and not just the tourist sites and that is what I was looking for on this trip. This is a wonderful thing! It was just not enough time. In some regards it seems as though it was all a dream! I am recommending to all my family and friends.

This trip was everything I needed and more! The sites, the people the cultural exchanges, the fellowships and new friendships were truly amazing! I loved and enjoyed all of the wonderful activities that were planned for us each day, and the superb hospitality and service of each venue staff, including all exhibits, restaurants, museums, hotels, etc. The memorable tours have been so transforming for me! I finally got to experience what it feels like to visit family members from My Origins, and for that, I am forever grateful! This was an incredible experience and I truly loved and enjoyed it! My daughter would love to come after seeing what a great experience I had! Well done! Thank you!

We had a week long tour with MMH to Ghana and it was spectacular! We had the best tour guides, is it all special sites and were taken to some secret sites of Ghana. Every meal was perfect and the trip was organized with lodging, sites, transportation, shopping, history and personal time. I highly recommend this tour group.
