Christa Elise Sanders bobtoya, Webster University's Campus Director, has described Ghana as her "comfort zone."

She claims that she feels extremely linked to Ghana and that she does not face the same issues that an ordinary African-American woman would have in the United States.

 

"The numerous problems that African-Americans faces in the United States do not exist in Ghana. "It's good to live in a nation where I'm not subjected to or threatened by racism, gun violence, or police brutality," she said.

 

"Ghana begets freedom," she said, "and that's what I believe authentic Ghana is." I can now breathe freely, and while doing so, I can strive to make a difference in the educational field."

Christa Elise Sanders stated this in an interview with Rev Erskine on the Myd Morning Radio Show on Y107.9FM's YleaderBoard Series.

 

Racism, according to the Australian Human Rights Commission, may take numerous forms and occur in a variety of settings. Prejudice, bigotry, or hostility aimed against a person because of their skin colour, race, or national origin are all examples.

 

"Racism is frequently associated with acts of abuse or harassment. It does not, however, have to be aggressive or scary in nature. Consider racist slurs and jokes. Consider circumstances in which people are excluded from groups or activities according to their origins.

...Racism may be seen in people's behaviour as well as their attitudes. It may be seen in systems and institutions as well. However, it is possible that it will not be released at all. Racism isn't always evident. Someone may, for example, review a list of employment candidates and decide not to interview persons with specific surnames."
