love how Africans have Pride!(culture)

Today is 11/13/2010. Yesterday I went to UIC in Chicago to see my best friend preform and I really wasn't expecting what I saw there. I was so amazed and it made me love even more that I am African American and that deep down I'm happy to have roots in Africa(even if I don't know exactly where in Africa I am from). When I went to this performance there was a fashion show, a DJ, a freestyle(I think that's what the boy was trying to do) and mostly performances from different parts of Africa talking about their culture and talking about myths that people in America have about people in Africa. It was such a great show and the fashion OMG it was sooo pretty patterns and beautiful colors everywhere. When I was sitting in the audience I just wanted to get up and snatch those clothes off the models and take them home and wear them all day. My favorite outfits had to be the jumpers with the traditional African patterns but rich bright colors, oh you just had to be there to even imagine what I saw. It was so much fun, I met new people that my friends knew and I seen the hottest Somalian man in my life so cute. (lol had to add that) and just over all --things like this... that I am able to be around and am invited to I am the most luckiest person. It just gives me inspiration to one day maybe possibly travel to these places once in my life. And again it makes me proud to be African American and I think that's the best thing for someone to feel happy about their culture and to see where their ancestors are from It's amazing.
