My parentals. 1970’s Abidjan. 

What an amazing time to be an African in Africa? Like Cote d’Ivoire was newly independent, we had such a bright future in front off us! Young people like my parents were buzzing with anticipation at life after colonization, realities were changing and nations were forming.

Sigh, if I could go back in time, it would for sure be West Africa in the 1960’s/70’s.
