Cape Coast Slave Dungeon BBC feature with Clive Myrie

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: African Roots Travel will soon be featured on an upcoming segment of the BBC’s Clive Myrie Show!

In a powerful collaboration set to take place next week, we’ll be hosting the BBC team in Ghana as they document the emotional and cultural journey of Diasporans reconnecting with their heritage. This special feature will highlight the transformative experiences curated by African Roots Travel — designed to bridge the gap between past and present, identity and ancestry.

Clive Myrie of the BBC will be visiting Ghana to film a special on African Diasporans connecting with the culture.

One of the central moments of this upcoming segment is a deeply personal visit to the Cape Coast Slave Dungeon, a historic landmark that holds generations of stories and memory. For many African Americans and members of the broader Diaspora, walking through the “Door of No Return” is a life-altering experience — one of grief, reflection, and spiritual awakening. Our team is honored to facilitate this moment of ancestral reconnection, while ensuring a respectful and emotionally supportive environment for all involved.

A visit to the Ghana Slave Dungeons connects African Diasporans with there ancestors.

In addition to honoring the past, this journey is also about celebration and reclaiming cultural identity. The BBC will film a Traditional Fante Naming Ceremony — where participants will be welcomed by local elders, receive meaningful Ghanaian names, and participate in drumming, dancing, and ritual blessings. This ceremony symbolizes spiritual return and the re-establishment of cultural ties long disrupted by history.

Ghana Traditional Naming Ceremony is an organic bonding experience that provides insight into traditional family culture.

The day will culminate in a vibrant and soulful celebration barbecue at Mable’s Table — a beloved Black-owned restaurant and cultural hub in Ghana. Known for its warm hospitality, mouthwatering home-cooked meals, and lively community spirit, Mable’s Table offers the perfect setting to unwind, reflect, and celebrate. As music fills the air and stories are shared over flavorful plates, this gathering will serve as a joyful close to a day filled with deep emotional resonance and reconnection.

This special feature with Clive Myrie and the BBC will not only highlight the transformative journeys curated by African Roots Travel, but also shine a light on the rising importance of heritage travel and cultural reconnection. As Maurice Cheetham, CEO of African Roots Travel, shares: “We believe these journeys are more than tourism — they are acts of healing, remembrance, and empowerment.” He adds, “We’re honored to be part of this powerful narrative and can’t wait to share the magic of Ghana with the world.”

Stay tuned for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and official air dates — this is a story you won’t want to miss. 🌍✨
