American gospel singer Kirk Franklin insists that his experience on the recently concluded Kingdom World Tour in Ghana is one he will never forget, citing the incredible hospitality and unity of Black people.
The Kingdom World Tour, which wrapped up in Accra, Ghana, brought together thousands of Christian worshippers from across Africa and the diaspora in a powerful atmosphere of praise and harmony.
Franklin expressed his joy at witnessing the unity and the tremendous efforts of all who participated in the event. He believes that the bond among Black people worldwide is unbreakable, no matter the challenges they face.
“It will be a moment in my life that I will never forget,” Franklin said in an exclusive interview with Lady Sena. “To travel to many countries at one time and to feel the Black experience on this continent and on this planet, and to be reminded how unified we are as Black people—we are just separated by water. We are never separated by spirit.”

Franklin also shared his impressions of his stay in Ghana, particularly noting the warmth and respect he received from those meeting him for the first time. He now considers the West African nation a new home.
“It makes me very proud. It sometimes makes me want to find even deeper roots here because I will be back very soon—Ghana feels like home,” he added.
The Kingdom World Tour was a resounding success, particularly for Christian worshippers around the world, and the Ghana edition exceeded expectations, helping to bridge the gap between the diaspora and the African continent.
