FASHION FRIDAY: AZZEDINE ALAÏA

AZZEDINE ALAÏA 

As one of my favorite film heroines said on the subject of Azzedine Alaïa,"It's like a totally important designer." , and I couldn't agree more!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: AFRIK MOTO

We are literally days away from the MUSIC FOR PEACE IN THE CONGO event. In honor of this occasion, here's a look back at one of the videos from the headline act of Saturday's festivities, Afrk Moto.

FARIDA'S COOKING CORNER

I have been having quite the sweet tooth these past few weeks, so it's only fitting that my next African dish would be the popular Angolan dessert Cocada Amarela.

SPOTLIGHT: ESTHER MBABAZI

Esther Mbabazi made history this year, as she became the first female pilot to fly for Rwandair. She trained in the Soroti flight school of Uganda and was so good that she had the rest of her training sponsored by Rwandair.

MUSIC MONDAY: SADE

For my final post dedicated to Women's History Month, I decided to write about one of my African icons...SADE! Growing up in America, there were few, if any, artists on the radio that were African. I was young when I first heard some of her hits such as "Smooth Operator" and "No Ordinary Love", and had no real idea what she was singing about; however, I was so captivated by her soothing voice that it didn't matter. Now that I can fully comprehend what she is singing about, I love her music even more. 

TDB GOES DARK...

Hi Guys!

Normally, we'd have a Fashion Friday post for you, however, today marks the one year anniversary of our beloved cousin's passing. In honor of his memory, there will be no posts today. 

We appreciate your understanding during this time.
