From Military to Legacy Builder: My Journey Home
A testimony of healing, transformation, and purpose
For the first time, I'm sharing my full story and the journey that brought me home to Ghana—my healing, my transformation, and the path that shaped Gold Lion International into what it is today.
This isn't just a video.
I grew up in a world that taught me how to fight—fight through trauma, fight through uncertainty, fight to build a life against all odds. The military taught me discipline. Motherhood taught me strength. Real estate taught me legacy. But Ghana… Ghana taught me peace.
When I stepped on this soil, something in my soul said:
And that's exactly what I'm doing—brick by brick, plot by plot, community by community.
My journey wasn't easy, but it was divine. Every obstacle aligned me with my purpose. Every setback positioned me for the work I'm doing now: helping our people return home, invest safely, and create generational wealth with confidence and clarity.
If you've ever felt called to something bigger…
If you've ever dreamed of starting over…
If you've ever wondered what life would look like if you chose healing over hustle…
Watch this video.
This is my heart.
This is my truth.
This is why I do what I do.
If this story touched you, share it.
Someone out there needs to know that their new beginning is waiting for them too.
Welcome to the journey. Welcome to the movement. Welcome to legacy-building, the Gold Lion way.

I have been waiting with great anticipation to meet Jemkia. By divine providence, I have been afforded both the time and resources to pursue my aspirations. I confided my dreams to Jemkia over a year ago, and she has remained steadfast in her support of my objectives. It was truly a delight to make your acquaintance. I suspect we could have conversed throughout the night, as we share numerous commonalities. Thank you once more, sister.
