Lets back track just a bit. I think some of my lack of attachment to the space has a lot to do with the language barrier. I came to realize that I’ve traveled a lot, but primarily to countries that speak English as a primary language. So getting out and moving about freely is different. There are many people that speak English in France but there are a lot of people that refuse to do so just based on certain principles.
Afro Punk Paris
I need to tell you about how wonderful Afro Punk was especially yesterday, Sunday June 14, 2019. I had the honor and privilege to attend by helping Ethea @waistbeadqueen vend. I think that was the best way to experience the festival for me. As a non lover of large crowds being in the booth provided a haven of sorts. A haven that was open to everyone of course and when folks came in to see about us it felt like welcoming them into one’s home. I also really enjoyed watching Ethea work. As a Black Woman entrepreneur originally from Oakland, now residing in Houston and traveling the world around her work ethic is a sight to behold.
