Africans in China celebrate their heritage

China Daily  

The month of May is recognized as Africa month – a time when the continent commemorates the founding of the Organization of African Unity. "It's an opportunity for us to showcase Africa to the world to show the beauty and diverse culture," said Justina Obaoye-Ajala from Nigeria, who is the president of the African Diaspora in China Network. Even though we are not on the continent, we still carry African nature within us," said Sarah Marjorey Kisakye from Uganda, a PhD student at the Communication University of China. Speaking of African culture, Mariatu Kargbo from Sierra Leone, founder of Africa China Leadership Association, said she would pick Afro music to showcase to her Chinese friends as music is a universal language. Diallo Mohamad from Guinea, a fiber optic products salesman, said he would recommend the renowned jollof rice dish to his Chinese friends.
