Ali Ciwanro: Megan Thee Stallion Isn’t The One On Trial

Ali Ciwanro is one of the most popular songwriters of our time. The 21 year old artist has good relations with many women in the music industry due to his very modern way of thinking. Especially with Megan Thee Stallion, the young musician has a close connection, which is why it is natural for him to comment on Megan’s current situation.

“Most frustratingly, Megan’s sexuality has been put under a microscope, with gossip blogs all of a sudden linking her to a slew of male celebrities. First of all, this means nothing. Megan is an adult woman who can sleep with whoever she pleases. But aside from the fact that her intimate life has no bearing on the case, this kind of slutshaming is particularly dangerous because it rests on the implicit notion that when it comes to violence, it’s open season for any woman who likes to have sex.” says young songwriter Ali Ciwanro

Continuing, he says, “Megan Thee Stallion isn’t the one on trial, but the independence and freedom of women.”

Megan Thee Stallion whose legal name is Megan Pete makes her way from the Hall of Justice to the courthouse to testify in the trial of Rapper Tory Lanez for allegedly shooting her on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022 in Los Angeles, CA.

Vilifying women (or in this case suggesting that they deserve to be shot) on the basis of their sexual history is something we see time and time again because it’s an easy a way to cast doubt on their moral character and believability. And for Black women in particular, the consequences of stepping out of society’s faux puritanism are always much harsher. From being thought of as a “ho,” “ran through,” or “for everybody,” the vitriolic language and culture around sexual promiscuity is solely reserved for Black women.

From the Philippines in October 2025 to South Korea, China, the United States, and Panama by December 2025, her journey as a reigning queen is redefining what it truly means to lead with purpose.

Formerly crowned Woman of the Universe Elite, Dr. Doshi has consistently proven that a title is not an endpoint, but a powerful platform. Her 2025 reign is marked by intentional action, international collaboration, and a deep commitment to empowering others—especially women and youth aspiring to lead on global stages. Throughout her journey, she represented international fashion shows, delivered her own music performances, and showcased her signature design line, Priyal Doshi Couture, while spreading awareness on domestic violence and women’s health. Her presence has graced some of the world’s most prestigious platforms, including New York Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and the Cannes Film Festival.

Beyond the global spotlight, Dr. Doshi’s work remains deeply rooted in service.

Dave Bishop and the Global Rise of Ghana Through Tourism

For Dave Bishop, tourism is not just about travel. It is about changing narratives, building cultural bridges, and creating lasting economic and human impact. Through his award winning company Going2Ghana, Dave is helping reshape how the world sees Ghana and Africa at large by offering authentic, educational, and life changing travel experiences rooted in culture, history, and connection.

His work in tourism has become one of the most powerful extensions of his lifelong mission of community development, service, and global collaboration.

Going2Ghana and the Mission to Redefine African Travel

Operating out of Accra, Ghana, Going2Ghana is built on a clear purpose: to promote the uniqueness of Ghanaian culture while delivering travel experiences that enrich the lives of visitors from around the world.

For centuries, Africa has been home to rich cultures, breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary food, and remarkable people. Yet decades of negative portrayal have created misconceptions. Going2Ghana exists to change that story by giving travelers a real, authentic experience of Ghana, not a filtered version.

Through carefully designed travel programs, clients explore Ghana’s cultural heritage, history, and living traditions while building meaningful connections with the people and communities they encounter.

Ghana as a Living Classroom of History and Culture

Ghana stands as one of the most peaceful and visited countries on the African continent, offering powerful history alongside natural beauty. Visitors experience cultural landmarks such as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, which tells the story of Ghana’s independence, and Cape Coast Castle with its Door of No Return, offering a deeply moving look at the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Beyond history, travelers explore the natural beauty of the Volta Region, home to Wli Waterfalls, the highest waterfall in West Africa, and Volta Lake, the largest manmade lake in the world. Wildlife experiences at Mole National Park introduce visitors to elephants, antelopes, baboons, and a wide range of bird species within thousands of kilometers of open savannah.

Signature Cultural Experiences That Change Lives

What sets Going2Ghana apart is its commitment to giving travelers real cultural access. Guests are invited to take part in once in a lifetime moments such as traditional African naming ceremonies, authentic brunch experiences, guided city tours, and deep cultural immersion that allows them to truly understand Ghanaian life beyond the surface.

Whether exploring Accra City, walking through historical river sites, or sharing meals rooted in tradition, every journey is designed to foster respect, understanding, and global connection.

Mother’s Day in the Motherland and Detty December Experiences

Going2Ghana continues to expand its cultural tourism offerings with landmark annual events.

Mother’s Day in the Motherland, launching May 8, 2025, is a week long cultural celebration honoring mothers through heritage exploration, luxury accommodations, and immersive Ghanaian experiences. Guests stay at the five star Pelican Hotel in Accra, enjoy daily buffet breakfasts, guided excursions, spa experiences, and a special Mother’s Day brunch showcasing Ghanaian hospitality.

Detty December, running from December 27 to January 3, allows global travelers to experience Ghana’s famous holiday season and usher in the New Year through its premier cultural celebrations. Visitors enjoy luxury stays and exclusive cultural encounters while experiencing one of the most vibrant times of year in the country.

National Recognition and International Impact

The impact of Dave Bishop and Going2Ghana has not gone unnoticed. The company is fully accredited by the Ghana Tourism Authority and has received official praise from the Diaspora Affairs Office of the President of Ghana, recognizing its role in improving public perception of Ghana and Africa worldwide.

In 2025, Going2Ghana was honored as the Best Ghanaian Tourism Company with a 2025 LUXlife Award, a major global recognition that affirms the quality, integrity, and influence of the company’s work in the travel and tourism industry.

More Than Tourism, A Cultural Movement

Through Going2Ghana, Dave Bishop is not just selling trips. He is creating pathways for global understanding, economic growth, and cultural respect. Every tour, every experience, and every traveler contributes to a larger movement that uplifts Ghana while reshaping how Africa is seen around the world.

His work proves that tourism, when done with purpose, can educate, empower, and unite people across continents.
