In the busy-ness of my day yesterday, I forgot that it was UN day! Not everyone is a fan of the United Nations, but I was really lucky to attend the United Nations International School from kindergarten through 12th grade and every year on UN Day it was better than my birthday and christma-kwanza-kkah and New Years rolled in to one. Everyone came dressed up in their national dress, we all ate each others favorite foods and sang each others songs and for one silly splendid day got a chance to see what it would be like if we all celebrated each others differences. It feels perfectly appropriate that I spent last night performing poetry with local poets at a bar in Accra, Ghana as part of the Ehalakasa festival. Learning, listening, sharing. The way I remember UN day feeling as a kid. Thanks to everyone who came out to play last night. Happy belated UN-day everyone!
