Orientation and updates

I know I haven't updated in a while-- as usual things have been busy.

The MoCADA is hosting an orientation today in Ft. Greene. Here's a synopsis of what we'll do (incl. the garden party):

"...At this orientation, we will be advising you on how to go about getting your necessary visa and immunizations. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to inquire about travel questions you may have. As a part of the evening, Dr. Leonard Jeffries as well as Professor Smalls, two incredible professors who specialize in Africana Studies, will speak to the group about their extensive knowledge in Ghanaian culture and history. The orientation will begin at 6 p.m. Afterward, we will host a garden party where guest can experience Ghanian food and music. The Garden Party, which will begin at 8 p.m. is open to the public."

I'm geeked! I know about the visa and immunizations but I'd love to speak with Professor Jeffries and Smalls about their experiences, what to expect. I'm more excited about meeting other Black Star Pilgrims.

I'm all smiles.
