Former Dallas alderman charged with taking indecent liberties with 4-year-old old, charged, taking - Gaston Gazette

February 7, 2011

I arrived at the City of Gastonia, NC transit station. Two guys were fighting, a little voice told me to Do Something because one or both could have seriously been injured. I heard myself call out to them to stop fighting, there is enough of us in prison...I repeated and the fight ceased. Each went in separate direction. The coming in my direction said, 'thank you Miss.'

Diane Is Raw In Africa Nov. 26 - Dec. 11, 2010










Have you been to Dakar, Senegal? Nov. 26, 2010
was my first visit ... I would do it again! You
see, I never meet a stranger and I am eager
to learn new things!
Upon arrival at the airport, one must claim
your baggage. This guy came up to help me
with my baggage...he caught me off guard...
he says to me, I can get you through customs.
He asked me to pay him for his help and
do not let anyone see me pay him. Like a dummy, I gave him $20 because I know how hard life in Africa. $20, one could live it up like a king for a few days. Yep, I got scammed! His friends did not see me pay him, so the ungrateful person asked for more money! I told him no and I should look for my friends -- Dandy & Emmy! That didn't work cause he and his friends began to follow me. It was dusk dark in the morning 5:50am, I barely could see and trying to find Dandy & Emmy among all the people trying to sell stuff ...mainly SMS cards...was impossible. My inner voice was telling me to yell out for them!LOL One guy said, Felicia....why is this guy saying her name through this fence? Aha, it's Dandy...a sigh of relief! Mind you, the guys' friends are close on my heels to get money. Once I reached Dandy, they began to haggle..when they found out that Dandy & Emmy were Nigerians, they backed off! There's something about being a Nigerian, makes one take notes! Upon entering the city, You will hear the sound system go off for everyone to hear that a visitor is coming and it welcomes You! How awesome! Dandy & Emmys' stories:

The Cat People
While visiting Goree Island, we ordered fried fish and ate outside. Coco, a shop owners, told me to give my fish head to the cat...without any questions, I did. Which brings me to tell you about The Cat People!
Long ago, the natives of Goree Island would go to the high priest to be turned into cats so they would not leave the island of No-Return to become slaves. Something happened to the high priest, so the people turned into cats, could not be retuned to people again!
They treat cats as if they were people!
The Goree Island resturant fried fish was great! They don't coat it with flour or cornmeal! Which brings to mind another story...
Mermaids!
Some believe to this day, mermaids exist! The story goes:
at night, the mermaids leave the ocean and is transformed into the most beautiful women in the world with a brick- house body. They meet men; if the man treats her with respect, he lives..if he doesn't, the mermaid kills him.
I missed two Kodak moments; I made some Jello and fed little kids and teens. Most arrange their food in a big bowl. Each person gathers around the bowl with fork or spoon in hand and dive in...this closeness keeps loved ones close. At any rate, I brought out the bowl of Jello and tried to give the kids spoons to eat; instead, they reached out their little hands...they love it and so did the staff! I asked one of the staff members to go with me on the beach to serve Jello. In the far background, the sea is a dark blue then gradually turns into a sea green. The sea gets lighter when it gets closer to the shore with frosty like peaks. We saw teens practicing football and called out to them to come. One came tried it and called to the others; they came. One ask, what is it good for? I told him, with that said, he replied, 'I'm going to be here at same time for more Jello!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were guys walking the streets 7' and then some, I could not help but stare. One rented a guest house above me. Being so up close to one of these giant men, I had to ask, how tall are you? Wow! He, also, said he was from Sweden!



My African attire:



I'm so happy that I took a leap of faith and listen to the little
voice telling me to visit Dakar, Senegal!
To all my sisters, come, awaken from your slumber ! It is
time to connect and unite!

Our project to bridge the gap between the US and Senegal is 'A Taste Of Senegal' In which, we will rent booths at community events and display pure african products -- shea butter, Knwaa, African attire, and much more in the near future!
