DOSHA DOES: ANKARA FESTIVAL 2013

This past weekend we attended Ankara Festival 2013 at the Avalon in Hollywood. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the great fashion and musical performances. TDB fave, Sumahrie Collections, had such an amazing collection. Korto Momolu, of Project Runway fame, was the headliner and killed. Loved everything that came down the runway. I also loved Chidera Chimera's designs for Dewan Apparel. Such amazing men's fashion.   

FARIDA'S COOKING CORNER: POULET AU COCO

Salutations my foodie friends! (yes, "salutations" just happened, lol). Today I bring you a recipe from Comoros Island. To be perfectly honest with you, prior to finding this recipe, my knowledge of Comoran cuisine was non-existent. But I found a dish that is easy to make, can be served with pretty much anything: rice (brown or white), quinoa, couscous, potatoes, and is delicious!!!

Without further ado I give you a classic Comoran dish, Poulet au CoCo, aka Chicken with Coconut.

MUSIC MONDAY: #PRAY4KENYA

FASHION FRIDAY: ANKARA

Next weekend, Team TDB has the distinct pleasure of  attending the 2013 Ankara Festival LA. Per usual, I have no idea what I will be wearing, and in my search of the perfect ankara ensemble, I stumbled upon some pics of some fab celebrities wearing this print.

GET FAMILIAR: SHEVA ALOMAR

Video-games are a great medium of storytelling, you can introduce exotic characters and locales and create a universe that allows others to fully immerse themselves into the story. One storyline that is very popular in gaming is that of a zombie outbreak/apocalypse, don't ask me why, and no series is more successful in that genre than Resident Evil.

MUSIC MONDAY: ASHA'S OBSESSIONS

Theophilus London is still my obsession

It's been brought to my attention that I simply don't just like things, but I become completely obsessed. I've also been known to call everything my favorite, but that's another story. For now, enjoy some of my latest obsessions. Enjoy!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: 2PAC

Seventeen years ago today Tupac Shakur died. Seven years ago, the 10th anniversary of his death, his mother spread his ashes in Soweto, South Africa. He loved Africa and it's people and we loved him back. Maybe even a little too much (read here). 

GET FAMILIAR: JAHMIL XT QUBEKA

There hasn't been a film in African cinema that has created as much controversy or anticipation as Of Good Report, and filmmaker Jahmil XT Qubeka wouldn't have it any other way.

DOSHA DOES: LIFE AND TIMES FIESTA

POSING WITH DESIGNER MAHRIAMA SUMA OF SUMAHRIE COLLECTIONS 

This past weekend, the TDB girls  attended the 3rd Annual Life and Times Fiesta. It was such a fun night filled with great music, food, comedy, and fashion. A TDB fave, comedienne Yvonne Orji, was the MC and kept us laughing all night. 

FASHION FRIDAY: FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL

TEAM TDB

Last weekend, FARIDA, DJ, and myself attended The African Gourmet Food and Wine Festival. I know you're thinking, what does food and wine have to do with a Fashion Friday post? I promise it does.

GET FAMILIAR: JIBA MOLEI ANDERSON

I love comic books, I don't think this comes to a surprise to anyone at this point. Comic books are so interesting to me because they are one of the few things that you can judge by it's cover, that's actually how I found out about Jiba Molei Anderson and his comic book "Horsemen".
