Hello, everyone and my dear friends,
It has been so wonderful sharing this year with you in words and pictures in my columns. However, it has been a very sad year because we lost so many friends, family and loved ones. I know you share this experience with me, but if you are reading me now, then God has blessed us to see another upcoming year. We will keep readers, followers and families who have lost someone in prayers. I too have experiences loss in 2022.
Now, I will share a few things that are coming up for those who wish to party this holiday. Speaking about Kwanzaa, Christmas, and the New Year’s Eve party scene, me, myself, and my Boo-Boo will be staying safe in our home. We will not be attending parties during the holidays. But for many of you who want to party this weekend, then check this out. There is a Kwanzaa celebration that will be held at the Eubie Blake Cultural Center, located at 847 N. Howard Street on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, from 3-7 p.m. An African marketplace, live performances, food, and a Kwanzaa ceremony will be included.
