African Cultures Group

I have decided to start this group because I'm a foreign student in the US. And I have noticed that the only news/info the media shows about Africa was war-disease-poverty. Although these are a reality in Africa, It is only a part of the reality. In this group, we will be exposed to contemporary African Media (Films, Arts, Music, Food, Fashion). In this group we will discover the diversity of African cultures from the perspective of African contemporary artists, writers, Creatives.
