To my fellow Cameroonians out there, Happy Youth Day today.

I was so excited when Brandie Maxwell, editor of Out and About Africa asked me to be part of her “Let’s Talk” series, and I’m humbled by her lovely feature yesterday.  Out and About Africa is one of my go-to sources for a spoonful of nostalgia and inspiration.  She features trendy and innovative designers in African fashion, music, interior design and my personal favorite: photography.  So you can imagine, how honored I was to be interviewed.

I often visit Out & About Africa for inspiration on my dream palettes, so it’s always a pleasure to be acknowledged by those you admire.  She asked me several questions that conjured up memories of home in Cameroon, and reactivated my dreams for the future.  One question in particular that she asked was:

“What’s your personal soundtrack at the moment?”

A few weeks ago, I had an exciting skype interview with Anne Fox of Absolutely Intercultural out of Denmark.  It’s a fascinating concept which involves engaging speakers and listeners in intercultural issues around the world.

I’m so happy and honored that Wedding Nouveau is the featured topic for  their 100th anniversary.

Do listen to more of their interesting podcasts of people around the world making a difference, and contributing to the celebration of intercultural issues.   Thank you Anne for hosting this much needed dialogue.

The month of Thanksgiving is turning out to be filled with all sorts of great surprises and things to be thankful for.  Although next week is dedicated to different ways of giving thanks, across the globe, I couldn’t help but be grateful today.

I was super excited to see Wedding Nouveau mentioned in the Washingtonian today.  Almost as excited as I was to get the new Anthropologie November issue this morning (Will post that later).  Many thanks to Sarah Zlotnick of the Washingtonian, for showing some love to the Enchanted Bayou Inspiration board, part of our Halloween Chic series last week.

This is very encouraging.
