Community day was great fun! Our artists Gasali Aderemo and Chapuchi Ahiagble, as well as our demonstrators (the fabulous Imam sisters and the creative Miss Yokie) did a great job and everyone had fun talking to them, Raissa's reading was very touching, Dr. Williams' fashion show made me long for an African Vogue, Wendy Mahon's art activity lured in some adults, and a good time was had by all--be sure to check out the photo album below!
