We
are now in 2021 - we survived the Pandemic of COVID 19 - Yaaaaay!!
And
there is much to celebrate - and we're off to a good start!
What
better way to kick off summer than with the Tradition of ODUNDE - which
takes place every year in Philadelphia, PA. Like last year, 2020, this
year's week-long celebration with be virtual -
Commencing
on Sunday, June 6, and ending on Sunday, June 13. As always, the focus
will be on the celebration of our AFRICAN HERITAGE, featuring something
for everyone - regardless of age, which part of the MotherLand you came
from or where you landed, and honors those Ancestor/Angels who went
before us and now look over us.
For those of
you who wanted to learn how to cook authentic African food, but didn't
know to ask, tune in tomorrow, June 6 on Odundefestival on either
FaceBook or YouTube, at 6:00PM, when Ms. Youma Ba, owner of Kilimandjaro
and Youma Restaurants, as she does a cooking demonstration. I am a
total fan of her cooking in particular, and Senegalese cuisine in
general. Youma takes it to a whole other level!!
If
you are interested in doing business with Africa or the Caribbean, or
both, make sure you check out the Business Roundtables. Also, make sure
you check out the Women's business programs. There is going to be so
much to do, see and enjoy as we ease back into person to person
interaction, there will be cultural entertainment making you feel as
though you are there in person.
So mark your calendars because
there witll be the intersection of Odunde with Juneteenth -
highlighting the fact that we've so much to celebrate as a people - we
have come so far, and are continuing to move forward.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Stay Blessed &
ECLECTICALLY BLACK
