The 3rd Annual DC Africa Festival was held today. This event is getting bigger and better every year, and I have loved watching it grow into what it has become; an event for Africans of all nationalities and for African-Americans to come together through what really bonds us, the motherland. Food, jewelry, wax fabric, and everything Africa, made this perhaps one of the best festivals I have attended this year.

| Surprise, it had this little detail on the back |
 |
| Because she forced me to take her pic in this dress so that she could determine if she liked it… |
 |
| She loved this. She bought both… |
 |
| Top, turban, and makeup were killer! |
 |
| I love a man in sandals |
 |
| I purchased every bowl he had. |
 |
| African print sleeves |
 |
| This couple both matched their Kente. He had a strip down the front and back of his jacket, she had a hair bow. Cute. |
 |
| Tameelah getting waistbeads… Finally. |
 |
| My son, Nile, who wants me to tell everyone that he took these pictures. Who cares? |
 |
| Just 6 Black boys right? |
 |
| Then they did this! |
 |
| And this! |
 |
| Who doesn’t need a semi-train on their dress at all times? The drama of it all… |
 |
| Isn’t his smile nice? |
 |
| Isn’t his Africa pin, nicer? |
 |
| If you ain’t sweating, you ain’t doing it right…. |
 |
| Hello… |
 |
| The grass in always greener; she wants my hair/head, I want hers…. |
 |
| My niecey poo…Or “My Shadow” as I have started to refer to her. Quite annoyingly, I might add. |

Skirt (actually a dress): Asos Curve, Top: Asos Curve, Moto Vest: Forever 21
SideNote: I usually don’t buy things from Forever 21 because, well, I don’t want to be 21 forever. But this moto vest is cute. Not the best quality, but for something so trendy, but super versatile and seasonless, I tried my hand. I better like it because they have no return policy. The pitfalls of fast fashion stores. |
 |
| Tameelah’s new handbag. From Dooney and Bourke. Who knew that they made this superb bag with the softest leather that creates the best doctor bag I have seen in a while. AND, the lining is red and green. Heaven! |
