Power to African women!

Chance sometimes has it that I wind up in the right place at the right time. This was the case on Saturday 5 July as temperatures reached the mid-30s celsius in greater Paris. It was carnival day in the suburb of Saint-Denis & I was on my way to the parade when I ran into these beautiful women on the Place du Marché... Waiting for the carnival to get under way.KaraÏb Festival 2019, Place du Marché, Saint-Denis. Bonjour !KaraÏb Festival 2019, Place du Marché, Saint-Denis.
