One of the thing I enjoy doing whenever my husband has the girls is to visit places that takes me away from my Mamma duties and just allows me to enjoy life away dem kiddies for few hours or less.
I love being with them but some days this Mamma just need to see and hang around with adults and enjoy adult things at times.
I was lucky enough to attend an African festival in Århus which is the second largest city in Denmark.
I’ve always wanted to attend this event but the dates never fits in with my Husband’s schedule so I was one happy Mamma when is actually fit into his schedule this time.
The event was organised by one of my Sista from a another Mista.
She is also the owner at “Yves Afro events” and the founder @Reach out for a Child”
For more info about my African sissy who is also a culture and lifestyle enthusiast feel free to visit her website Yves Afro Event
The event was held at a botanical garden and even though the weather was not well behaved it did not dampened the participants mood at all.
They just open their umbrella with a huge smile and get on with it
The main focus of the festival was basically highlighting and introducing African cultures, traditions in the form of food, music, fashion etc.
My personal peek of the event was meeting the Kale Nyabo team and Mama-Essi who is the founder and operator of Touch of Africa.
Kale Nyabo was born from the team’s desire to promote the Ugandan culture while contributing to the development of small communities.
The word “KALE NyABO” means “Thank you Madam” in the Ugandan local language and represents the message of what the artisans wanted to transit through their work.
I did purchase a pair of earrings and bracelet that is 💯% handmade in Uganda usually by groups of single mothers who are using their talent and patience as the only source of income for their families.
Each purchase one makes goes towards a child getting an education.
