Ghana or America? “Where Should We RAISE Our Kids?”
In this powerful episode of The Diaspora Conversation Podcast, we sit down with Jacqueline Ward-Brew—an award-winning educator, curriculum developer, and founder of Mama Brew’s Classroom—whose life journey from Ghana to the U.S. shaped her mission to revolutionize education for Black and diasporan children.
Born in Ghana and raised in America, Jacqueline bridges two worlds with grace and power. From founding culturally grounded institutions to developing the I-CRT framework (Individualized Culturally Responsive Teaching), she’s helping children be seen, valued, and celebrated in their identities—on both sides of the Atlantic.
This episode is a deep dive into:
The internal tug-of-war between Ghanaian values and American opportunity
Where is the best place to raise Black children: Ghana or the U.S.?
Why culturally responsive teaching is not optional—it’s essential
How teachers and parents can turn culture into a superpower for the next generation
What diasporans need to know before moving back home
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, diasporan, or someone exploring your identity—this conversation will inspire, challenge, and empower you.33:26
