Black History Month in Asia

How fitting that I come upon the Chinese New Year and all that it stands for regarding history, heros and current culture whilst at the same time I--as a black American--also celebrate my heritage. This month is Black History month in the USA. And this is the first time I have been away from it.

Black History Month is a remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada in the month of February, while in the UK it is held in the month of October.


I am proud to reign in my black heritage at the same time I embrace another.

How lovely....
