<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Strolling through one of our local bookstore of Dakar searching for the perfect Thursday afternoon read if there’s such a thing, but then again for a super- book- lover, everyday feels like the perfect day to chill on your bed and lose yourself through the interesting characters of a great literature piece.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I was first attracted to the colorful book cover of the “Les belles choses que porte le ciel” by Ethiopian American writer Mr Dinaw Mengestu. When I first entered the grocery store owned by the main character Sepha Stephanos, my own life was such a mess that I wasn’t focused enough and put it down forgetting about it somewhere in my dusty personal library which is bigger than it sounds lol.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This past week ,I remembered that I didn’t give enough a chance to my friend Sepha and entered once again his DC’s shop and this time I don’t know what happened maybe it was his mal- etre that was familiar to me, or his great description of the lovely DC area, the melancholia of his two African friends Joseph and Kenneth or perhaps the sweet sadness or confusion felt by his crush Judith or even the big eyes and the boldness of her daughter Naomi..I don’t know probably a combination of all these interesting facts but this time I wanted to stay in his store and even buy something from his dusty and dirty shelves to give some type of hope to Sepha. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As a former immigrant, it’s hard for me not to see a little bit of my own struggle or the ones that I love in his rift between America <i>the Grand </i>and a proud Ethiopia that he knows he will never return to. The author, a very intelligent well spoken young Ethiopian man who attended Columbia, a former recipient award winner in 2006 for a fictional piece did an awesome job making you feel empathetic towards Sepha. At some point I wanted to tell Sepha “get up live… live… live , you are here now in America this is your life stop asking yourself so many questions and run with this life , you’ve been here for 17 +years it’s time for you to simply live”. Sepha immigrated to America following the Ethiopian conflict which resulted in the arrest and killing of his father by the authorities, he moved in with his Uncle in an impersonal America. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In America he lives like a paralyzed man confronted to an impersonal America while living at first in a building crowded with Ethiopian habitants who chose to live the Ethiopian way. He later on finds the usual and necessary: a job, friendship but mostly companionship working at the hotel. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">There he also finds the encouragements from his two companions of misery to pursue his dream of opening a grocery store in a predominantly African American neighborhood where he feels important and invisible at the same time until the arrival in the neighborhood of a Caucasian American woman Judith and her intelligent and rebellious 11 years Old Naomi. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Through these 2 generations of woman, rivers of uncomfortable sense affection and tenderness, feelings that had been missing from his life start flowing through him. The reverse side of this emotional knife reveals that he also has to deal the reality of what he became as a result of his financial poverty, his loneliness, gloominess and his emotional paralysis.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> I loved this book because Dinaw described well the various difficulties immigrants deal with embarking on this journey, the economic precariousness some encounter, the loss of our illusions regarding Uncle Sam <i>the Big the Beautiful</i>, but also the gap between Africans and African Americans. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With all these challenges I didn’t know if I would be comfortable with the ending as I was getting near to it but … :)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Now that I finished reading this book I can’t wait to get my hands on his second novel: “HOW TO READ THE AIR”...as soon as I do, I’ll def’ offer my personal book review .</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the meantime if you have some free time </span><span lang="EN-US">on your hand I would suggest reading online an essay he wrote for the New Yorker called <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2010/07/12/100712fi_fiction_mengestu" style="color: #666666;">"AN HONE</a></span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2010/07/12/100712fi_fiction_mengestu" style="color: #666666;">ST EXIT”</a><span style="color: #666666;">,</span> by the way he was titled one the best authors under 40 by the New Yorker.(click on the title)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">You can also check him out reading an excerpt of his first novel,<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvWtGC6UEBM"> <span style="color: #666666;">HERE</span></a> <br />

Being lost in this sea of struggling believers as myself is truly humbling, while at the mosk under the beautiful layer of colorful veils we women all wear, underneath the vibrant colors of our loincloths: we are all the same.<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >W</span>e are all women struggling to make it on earth and hoping for that sweet life after death. There, there's no blogger, fashionista, lawyer, maid, rich girl, poor woman we are all the same. It's def' an ego check,there as I look at these women entering the room bare- foot , with no nail polish I am reminded that the material world is not all that there is to life, I am reminded that I'm just like any woman out there with maybe and I insist on the " maybe" some more financial freedom than some.<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">s</span> I was looking into the room, I realize honestly that there were not many women that I know from my neighberhood not many young <span style="font-style: italic;">doing pretty good for themselves</span> young professionals and I asked myself why? I asked myself if by trying to be protective did some of our parents make a mistake by not teaching us through attending the mosk more often that we are all equal, having a social and financial advatange doesn't mean that we can't mix with others at the mosk. The lady I've been praying next to the last few days has a beautiful aura abt her, always smiling always trying to help me put my rug together,even though hadn't I seen her in this healthy surrounding I probably would have been quick to judge her because of her bleached skin ect..if I'm honest with myself and you guys..real talk!<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Y</span></span>ou get my point, going to the mosk is teaching me to be more humble and join the community.Today 2 little girls caught my attention, they were serious about reciting the Quarinic verses, they were just serious:) I saw another young mother and her little girl wearing the head wrap and praying next to her mum, and I thought to myself I hope when I have children that I remenber to take them even if it's just once per semester to the mosk for them to feel that sense of humility that I'm learning.<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">E</span></span>veryday, the preacher has a different message for us, today it was about the meaning of being a good person. As he explains it doesn't mean just bowing down and praying, it doesn't mean for example getting rid of old cloth , it could mean giving away with heart a beautiful piece of clothing for example that we would ourselves wear...<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">W</span></span>hat I'm trying to say that besides my daily sins, going to the mosk fills my heart with great joy:)<br />Yaye<br /></div>Yayemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07930431992598228126noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31324076.post-49543162299411833472010-08-25T09:27:00.005-04:002010-08-26T17:43:02.910-04:00MOVE OVER DORA, HERE COME BINO & FINO !<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sjWtlWHshUA/THUbET0vI_I/AAAAAAAAXHk/8tKK5YnyeCI/s1600/nigeria+flag.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 145px; height: 72px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sjWtlWHshUA/THUbET0vI_I/AAAAAAAAXHk/8tKK5YnyeCI/s400/nigeria+flag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509339480012563442" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sjWtlWHshUA/THUaabuZXrI/AAAAAAAAXHU/3_-7OScA5ts/s1600/bino-and-fino.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sjWtlWHshUA/THUaabuZXrI/AAAAAAAAXHU/3_-7OScA5ts/s400/bino-and-fino.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509338760578948786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sjWtlWHshUA/THUakYsqKOI/AAAAAAAAXHc/dfpGqhUYRHI/s1600/bino+and+fino.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sjWtlWHshUA/THUakYsqKOI/AAAAAAAAXHc/dfpGqhUYRHI/s400/bino+and+fino.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509338931565045986" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">A</span></span>ttention Fabulafricana mamas and papas, new African cartoon characters for your little ones, twin brother and sister Bino & Fino are sure to keep your little ones laughing and entertained the African way:)<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">T</span></span>he smart people at the creative design studio in Lagos EVLC had the brilliant idea to start this new adventure, they were tired of not seeing us, our children, cartoons by us for us and the rest of the world..so they took they courage in their hands and are heavy at work , working hard to produce a cartoon of educational and entertainment merit.

color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">1</span></span>,2,3,4,5....there were 43 free spirits sharing with us and that whether we were here or not the gifts of live they were given by the Allmighty. They were young women ,young men, young mothers, young fathers living in that one moment celebrating what took 3 months in the village of Toubab Diallow to learn the secrets and the philosophy of Germaine Acogny at her dance school or sanctuary if I may say the prestigious "L'ecole des sables".<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">E</span></span>t pourtant, yes and yet, most of us in attendance were novice at lyrical dancing mixed with traditional dancing , we won't have the pretense to say that we understood exactly what each of their beautiful strong, delicate, sweet and not so sweet body movements meant BUT it meant something to me, it meant that we can all be what we want to be.<br /><br />When I saw dancers like Ivoirian Ange Aoussou or british dancer Alessandra Seuti I was reminded of the gift that is the body , the gift that is to feel what we need to feel in the moment, the cadeau that is to dance in the moment.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">I </span></span>wasn't really surprised at the end of the show to see people crying, being moved by these dancers, their energy, no I understood that in just that one afternoon we were all one with these brave dancers. I say brave because I'm sure for dancers like Rachelle Goualy, Fatou Samb,Franck Bakekolo it wasn't necessarly easy to be accepted as an artist within the society, to say yes I want to move for a living , I want to move as a life purpose. The fight for this freedom wasn't clear as summer sky I presume. No! but here they are showing through this atelier lead by Germaine Acogny, Patrick Acogny, Nora Chaupemire, Mr Fo that yes they can.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">M</span></span>y friend writer and blogger Teclaire who kindly invited me on this journey (I'm forever thankful sista vraiment)& I couldn't stop talking about our emotions on our way back to Dakar.We fell in love with the school, the peace and beautiful sense of serenity and spirituality that we were breathing as we were tincturing ourselves of this experience.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">T</span></span>hat afternoon, dance ,peace,friendship , spirituality were complimenting each other. We could tell that even though these performers worked their hard butts off (cos you know their bodies are solid as rocks..ouhhhhI envy them lol) they became friends, they learned about each other .<br />At the end of the showcase each student was to introduce him or herself and the country that they represented and it was pure joy hearing them shout out <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">"BURKINA FASSO"</span>, <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">"KENYA"</span>, "<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">TCHAD"</span>, <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">"BRAZIL</span>", or "<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">GUINEA EQUATORIAL"</span> with so much pride, there were 20 nations represented..and just as they were basking themselselves in that one moment of pride it dawned me that they were world ambassadors, YES wherever these beautiful dancers will get the chance to perform they will represent and really stand for their people..so don't let anyone tell you that arts don't mean anything..it means <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">EVERYTHING.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">D</span></span>on't believe me pray Allah to be given the chance to spend an afternoon at <span style="font-style: italic;">l'ecole des Sables </span>de Germain Acogny:)<br />Praying to be invited again.....<br /><br />Fabulafricainement yours,<br /><br />PS: Teclaire you rock sista...thank u, thank u ,diarama soulsista:)<br />Check her out @ <a href="http://www.lepagne.blogspot.com"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">www.lepagne.blogspot.com</span><br /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.jantbi.org">www.jantbi.org</a></span><br />You can watch some students from UCLA learning @ L'Ecole des sables, <a style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK2kpsJNBgI">HERE</a><br /><br />Yaye<br /><br /></div>Yayemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07930431992598228126noreply@blogger.com3
