I must say, I didn’t know how or where to start this week's prompt, the question was very tricky and I gave it a lot of thought before finally coming up with an idea.

Culture is what unites us as people, Ghana has been blessed with a lot of ethnic groups and each group has their way of life. This defines who we are and where we come from.
I come from the Northern part of the country.
We Northerners celebrate the Bamba festival every year to glorify the chieftaincy in the North. Though in Islam, this month is to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The Damba festival is celebrated from the 11th to the 18th of the 3rd month of the lunar calendar.
During this month, Dagombas across the world put sight of their differences, come together and celebrate the Damba festival.
Ever since the web3 was introduced, people all over the world have come together to share their thoughts about what’s going on in other parts of the world just the same as the Damba festivals, tourist attractors come to the North to witness how it is been celebrated which serves as unity among people.
So, I think the hive blockchain as a Ghanaian festival would be the Damba festival because it unites us and that is what Damba is all about.
Celebrating hive every year as a Damba festival would remind us how the introduction of web3 has brought about a change in society, especially in the decentralized world.
Thanks to the team of Hive Ghana for giving us a search for an interesting topic, I for one am looking forward to reading about other ethnic groups and their cultures.
