The Traveling Ghanaian Day Naming Experience
The Traveling Ghanaian Day Naming Experience is an immersive cultural journey that reconnects participants to identity, heritage, and meaning through the tradition of Ghanaian day names. Through storytelling, interactive engagement, and live ceremonial naming, each participant discovers the significance of their birth day and the character it represents. This is more than a presentation, it is a powerful moment of cultural connection and personal affirmation.
Honored, Recognized, and Rooted in Legacy
The Voice That Opens the Experience
Halima Opata Performance at NCAT Pageant
Halima Opata, also known as Purpose The Poet, is a passionate spoken word artist dedicated to telling stories that connect African American identity to its African roots. As a graduate of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, she brings both intellect and heart into every performance.
Her poetry speaks to heritage, self-discovery, and the power of knowing where you come from. Whether she’s performing on stage or opening the Ghanaian Day Naming Experience, Halima creates a welcoming space where people can feel seen, inspired, and deeply connected to their culture.
Ancestral Bingo
The Ghanaian Day Naming Ceremony experience opens and sometimes closes with Ancestral Bingo: Connection is Currency™, an interactive cultural activation that prepares participants for deeper engagement. Through a blend of African heritage, African American history, identity, and shared lived experiences, participants enter into meaningful dialogue—creating a foundation of connection before receiving their Ghanaian Day Name.
