I listened to great playlist mix of amapiano (a house music genre based out of South Africa), R&B, Hip-Hop and Afrobeats when I went to Setlist by Somerset House. Guest DJs spin there weekly on Fridays, and I got the chance to experience a live set firsthand for Halloween.
I went on a lovely field trip to St. Fagan's with my classmates from Cultural Heritage in the Built Environment. The journey required us to go an hour outside of Bristol to Cardiff, Wales, and I learned a lot about Welsh life before the country became incorporated into the United Kingdom, during the Industrial Revolution, and in the 20th century at the height of global conflicts.
I read a chapter from The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, which follows the stories of a young Black girl named Ailey who learns more about her Black, Indigenous and white ancestry in the Deep South.
