This event was not presented by Harry Belafonte, but by the inspired leadership and vision of the artist Somi. I am glad you have her picture up, but you really should give her the credit she deserves. That was an incredible night in honor of the great Mama Africa – and Somi pulled it off in less than a week entirely on her own. Hats off to her and wishing her continued success!! We need more African artists like that in the world… hopefully Miriam was smiling.
