African Sports Network and the Cameroonian Embassy in DC salute NBA's Milwaukee Bucks Cameroonian native Luc Mbah A Moute

Last Friday March 5th, 2010 I had the opportunity to witness a inspirational day at the Embassy of Cameroon in Wasington D.C.

NBA Milwaukee Bucks Cameroonian born Luc Mbah A Moute was received by the Ambassador and given the Flag of our country (CAMEROON) as an encouragement gift to continue representing Cameroon in such a highly praised profession.

The event which was only reserved for press and the Ambassador's personal guests started on time with an introduction of the Ambassador then Luc by the "Cultural Attache" of the Embassy.
Luc then gave a heartfelt and strong speech followed by the Ambassador very encouraging speech, targeting the youth of our Country in coming forward representing our beloved Cameroon in each and every one of our professions in which we're exceling. 
He honored Luc as well as African Sports Network CEO and Founder Awasum Junior in his speech and added that we are all Ambassadors of our Country outside of it and that everything we do good or bad will be taken as a representation of our dear Cameroon.

With that said I will leave you with some pictures of the event as well as a video of the Ambassador's speech but I would like for all of you young Cameroonians out there to meditate on the speech and choose wisely how you will go about representing us out there.

The Nakande's Project Corp.

Dear Sexy Pumpkins...

I would like to introduce to you my baby I call her Princess Nakande.

Five years ago I woke up with the idea of creating an organisation that will help girls in Africa. The problem was that I had the idea but didn't know how I was going to proceed about it.
So I let it slow cook in my head for a few years, every year gaining in maturity so obviously in ideas as well. In 2007 I was speaking with a dear friend of mine on the phone about everything and anything when he talked to me about this Cameroonian Douala princess by the name of Nakande. For some reason when I heard that name I had chills all over, it sounded so right I don't even know how to explain it.
Anyways I had found the name for my organisation but I still didn't know how I was going to help those girls, how was I suppose to start being a young woman myself? Who was I supposed to talk to about it?...

Well only God knows how he got me where I am today.

During the summer 2009, I spoke a lot about my ideas and my goals to a friend of mine who was with me in New york. She gave me a lot of insight and very strong motivation. I made my decision, I was going to put Nakande on its feet by the end of 2009. Yet another problem came up, where do I go to get things started? So I took two months to do some serious research. Just when I realized that sure my idea was good and my project as well, it was still missing something.

That is when in September 2009 I met with a young woman by the name of Olivia Ngou to host a gala for a Non-Profit Organization in NY. It was amazing, after talking to her for 30 minutes I realized that we understood each other so well, she was the missing link. She was building her Non-Profit as well for girls in Africa. She was focusing on health and I was focusing on Arts.

Joining forces with her gave birth on October 18, 2009 "The Nakande's Project".

Today I'm proud to say that we are officially an Incorporated Non-Profit in the U.S and we have many projects coming up for our dear mother Africa.

The Nakande's Project team counts 2 committees, 1 in France with 6 Board members and 1 in the U.S with 7 Board members.

Stay tuned for the website and more to come.

"Bringing Them the Christmas Spirit"

 

Dear Sexy Pumpkins...

We are coming to you today to let you know about our “Christmas Spirit 2009” Toys drive and Fundraiser to benefit the “AFRAD-OMC Orphanage” located in New Bell, Douala, Cameroon.

“The Nakande’s Project" was founded by a team of two young Cameroonian women with the fire and passion to give back to our communities by helping the less fortunate.”

New Bell is one of poorest town in Douala Cameroon with a growing number of youth homelessness. We have located an orphanage in which 237 orphans from the ages of 7 months to 23 years old found refuge. Among the orphans, there were 3 babies but 1 passed away a few weeks ago due to lack of medical attention.

The orphanage is barely able to sustain itself and remain open to accommodate the basic needs of those orphans. All of their resources go into the bills to maintain the Orphanage in stable condition. So therefore they have never been able to provide those kids with a chance to Celebrate Christmas. We believe that every child deserves the gift of Celebrating Christmas. By creating “The Christmas Spirit 2009” this year, we plan to surprise those children with a Christmas tree, Presents and a Small Gathering that will stay with them forever.

Our goal is to raise toys and money in order for us to buy Presents, Books, Educational games, and to provide them with a nice meal and decorations on Christmas Day.

We come to you to ask for your kind donations of $1, $2, $10, $25 or more, or toys, clothing and shoes in good condition by December 8th to help us put a smile on those children faces because we know every child is special.

After the event, pictures and videos will be provided on our up-coming website (www.thenakandesproject.com) where you will be able to view the impact of your contributions in the life of those kids. On there you will also be able to follow their evolution throughout the year until next Christmas.

Thank you for supporting our Project and Merry Christmas.

For Donations please email us at thenakandesproject@gmail.com...

The Nakande's Team!

FATALLY BLACK

Ok so as you know NY Fashion week is going on right now and yesterday was one of the most anticipated event "Vogue Fashion's Night Out in NYC" all over town. Now Pictures are coming soon but I wanted to share something fabulous I found with all my SEXY PUMPKINS out there. After Dex studios I decided to stop by Macy's in the city to go to the M.A.C store because I needed a mascara and pink lip gloss. When I got there I saw one of the make-up artist with purple-blackish lipstick...  I went coo coo, I absolutely wanted to try it and when I saw the result on my lips I just fell in love with it. I was like a whole new person, or maybe I'd just found what was missing in me in all that Black Madness! Anyways all I know is that this thing is FIERCE... 

Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think! 

  

A video Tutorial on what exact products I used and how to apply them will be coming in the next few hours stay tuned.

Kicking off NY's Fashion Week...

So I've never really been a Fashionista... not that I consider myself a Fashionista now, but I've always in a way liked fashion. I was always doing my own thing not really following any guidelines but managed to look decent when out and about. I have to tell you living in NYC for a year gave me a whole new outlook on the matter. That is why this year I've decided to 
follow NY's Fashion week and get involved. Even though I still won't exactly follow the trends, I'm sure I can use one thing or two to enhance my personal style... Look forward to pictures, thoughts and behind the scene videos of what I see, hear or think about NY's Fall Fashion Week 09! Here is a shot of Fashion week kick off on the way to Gold Bar with good friend and Designer Loza Maleombho.

GOD IS GOOD, GOD IS LOVE... HAPPY SUNDAY!

Hi beautiful people...

I just want to take the time to tell you to acknowledge that GOD is good.

I had my down times where I doubted him, but HE never let me completely forget about him. HE was incapable of letting me down even when I distanced myself the most from HIM and if I'm here today it's all because of HIM! So please take the time to let him know that you LOVE HIM even if HE knows already he will keep on loving you even more...

I love you all and I thank you for believing in me....

HAPPY SUNDAY YA'LL!
