Why Afrooklyn?

One of the number one things stopping people from moving and traveling is complacency; missing home. 

My first time in Africa was in 2014 with my mother and Aunt Mary 

After a 17hr flight, we were held up for an unusually long time because Akon was on our plane and he just had to be the first to get off. . .

I never saw him again.

From there on I realized that the details of this experience were going to be hard to retain and explain. 

Afrooklyn is here, because I can show you better than I can tell you.I needed my friends and family to see what i was seeing and feel what I was feeling; so with my imagination i built a bridge between Africa and the states; Africa and California, OKC, NC, DC, Jersey, Brooklyn. 

I wanted to bridge the gap between Africa and Brooklyn.

I realized I wasn't home sick, I just really wanted to share this. 

The feeling i felt as we were landing and everything I experienced after that, i sewed it and showed it to you.
