New Year's Eve Afropunk in South Africa
To bring in 2020, we partied hard at Constitution Hill for Afropunk, New Year’s Eve weekend. The music, the outfits, and the vibes were very different compared to the one in Brooklyn. I love going to the Brooklyn festival every year, but attending this festival in another country was way better in my opinion. South Africa has a wide range of diversity due to many different melonated shades and ethnicities.
CurlFest in Atlanta 2019
I spent the last weekend of September with the lovely ladies of the Curly Girl Collective . They brought CurlFest to Atlanta, Georgia for the first time. The festival has been held in New York City for the last six years, but it was time for the brand to expand. CurlFest is a celebration of curls, coils, and culture, wrapped up in positive energy and Black girl magic.
That One Time I Went To Essence Festival On A Budget
I had been to NOLA before for National Urban League Conference, but the vibe at Essence Fest was something different. It was truly a reunion with people from all walks of life that came together for the one event that can possibly change their lives. I grew up reading Essence and very aware of what the magazine brings to our community.
