Though its the first edition, the event saw a huge turn out and enjoyed considerable buzz in Chicago, Illinois and neighbouring cities.
The prestigious Dusable Museum of African American History in
Chicago came alive on Sunday, August 26 as young Africans came
together for a night of historic celebration at the People of
Culture 2018.
People of
Culture 2018 comes at an opportune moment where the
African narrative is wrongly projected in global media with the idea of re-writing the African narrative through key
areas as fashion, music, poetry, dance and lifestyle.

Though its
the first edition, the event saw a huge turn out and enjoyed
considerable buzz in Chicago, Illinois and neighbouring cities.
The
night dazzled with music, fun, tradition and all-round
entertainment as guests came dressed in amazing African fabric,
creating somewhat of an African magical scenery.
