Aside
I was asked to perform at the African Student Association fashion show this Saturday, November 12th at 6pm. I am ecstatic to be reciting a new piece and contributing to a good cause as a portion of the money for the fashion show will go to charity! Tickets are $15 if you purchase them before the show or $20 if you purchase them at the door.
