Block Party

Block Party, Theme 2: Black Joy
Block Party
When I think of a Block Party, I see what my ancestors brought from Africa: music, dance, food, unity, history, and royalty.
My Block Party design utilizes African-designed fabric that symbolizes our shared history. Each block iterates the importance of remembering our ancestry through the colors, symbols, lines, animals, and the graceful dancers. I selected embellishments of beads, buttons, and jewelry to enhance the block party design and show our relationships to royalty.
We have always enjoyed our memorable block parties that are part of our culture.
I HEAR THE PUMPING BASS IN THE MUSIC....
I SEE THE DANCERS EACH MOVING IN THEIR OWN WAY.....
I SMELL THE AROMAS OF BBQ RIBS, CHICKEN, BAKED BEANS, POTATO SALAD, AND SWEET POTATO AND CHESS PIES...
THE LINGERING SOUNDS, SIGHTS, SMELLS, AND ATMOSPHERE, MAKE ME FEEL PROUD AND JOYFUL!!
