Real Ghana Stories are authentic, heart-felt narratives that celebrate the people, culture, and spirit of Ghana. These are the stories that remind the world why Ghana stands tall—through creativity, community, and courage. Every submission helps us document the modern Ghanaian experience and share it with the global diaspora.
Core Principles
- Authenticity over perfection: Be real, not rehearsed. Your voice and experience matter more than polish.
- Positive, inspiring, and respectful: Focus on content that uplifts, educates, or motivates others.
- Diverse perspectives, unified spirit: Whether you’re in Accra or abroad, your Ghana story belongs here.
- Safe and inclusive: Keep it suitable for all audiences—no hate speech, no divisive content, no profanity.
What Makes a Great Submission?
- Choose one clear theme: Focus your story—whether it's food, travel, culture, or personal growth.
- Keep it short & engaging: Aim for 1–3 minutes (video) or 500 words (written).
- Share meaning: Tell us why it mattered—what you learned, how it changed you.
- Use original content: Make sure you have rights to any music, images, or clips used.
- Give it a catchy title: Example — “My First Kente Weaving Experience” or “Life in Kumasi’s Markets.”
- Clarity counts: Steady shots, clear sound, and bright visuals help tell your story.
