@cillatravel Standing within the walls of Cape Coast and Elmina Castles, I felt the weight of history like never before. These places tell powerful, painful stories of the transatlantic slave trade—but also offer a sacred space for reflection, remembrance, and reconnection. Walking in the footsteps of our ancestors is more than a journey—it’s a homecoming. Write your own homecoming story.
