OUR FASHION: DANDYISM

OUR FASHION– Dandyism WELCOME!!! This is the first ever REAL piece I’m doing on this blog! I’m suuuuuper excited!

AN INTRODUCTION AND A WELCOME

  Hey! Welcome to the Afro Files!  I love being Black. The culture, our uncovered history, our music, our fashion, our pop culture, and everything under the sun. I am unapologetically Black and proud! This blog is gonna be just about my experience with the culture. I love us and I think everyone should get a chance to hear about us. I plan to write about everything Black. Our music, our successes, our faults, and even our (although few and far between) faults. I'm a 15 year old girl and I live on the west coast. I absolutely ADORE learning about all of the history that's stored on the west coast alone. I wanted to start this blog to just share some of the history that I can access easily with just a few clicks on my keyboard.  Come back soon for another post :), im so excited to start this! See you soon!   xoxo, C
