Councilman Kwanza Hall

I was invited out to a Kwanzaa celebration with councilman Kwanza Hall. I’ve never really celebrated Kwanzaa or knew too much about this holiday. Going to the event last night, taught me alot. The event was held at the beautiful Paris on Ponce and this place was filled with alot of artifacts and fun stuff.I had a smile on my face as soon as I entered the building! It reminded me of being on the set of Moulin Rouge! I loved the atmosphere and the place was a great location for Kwanza’s event!

I got a chance to chat with Kwanza and ask him what made him pick this location and he said that Paris on Ponce was in his district and it just felt right. I agree that it was a great spot! The food was awesome and we got to sample different foods from all cultures, great idea. This event was about diversity and bringing people together,he did a great job! The room was filled with all ethnic backgrounds.

Kwanza and Jovita Moore

There was plenty of entertainment as well! Jovita Moore was the host for the evening and she introduced alot of different acts. I got to see dancers from HBO Crew,singer Heston, singer Cymia,the Nicolas House choir,singer Joy, Relapse comedy theatre,and so many more. Guess what you guys, I got a chance to learn african dance with Giwayen Mata! I was asked to come on stage and learn a couple of african dance moves! It was a very entertaining night and I would like to thank councilman Kwanza Hall for inviting me out! Please enjoy the pics and Happy Kwanza! I would also like to thank Christian for doing my makeup for the event!
