I met up with Kemi and Danielle and headed over to 54th and 2nd around 4 o clock to find out that the parade had just ended. So we walked down a few blocks to find out that we just missed Wale perform

FUCK!

But I did get to see a whole bunch of Nigerian fam from Staten Island and got to see Serani Perform on stage.

It was a pretty awesome performance. Nigerians really love them some Serani.

It felt good to be around my people enjoying food and music. I love how corny yet funny and loving Nigerians can be. I appreciate the fact that I recognize my culture and be able to embrace it in my own city of New York.
