Cultural exchanges
Beautiful story Natanya. I can totally relate with all the cultural exchanges I have been doing with my Nigerian relatives as many have been coming to the states and will continue to do so.....I have been getting closer to all of them particularly this visit over here. Lots of tears and lots of laughs!!!!
