HOTTEST CHICAGO EVENTS
Hey Everyone! My name is Kate and I am the new rep. for AFROPOP-Chicago. This means that I get to post all of the hot "Afro" events taking place in CHI-TOWN. We really want to showcase Chicago's entertainment from the African Diaspora. So if you know of any such events taking place in the city, feel free to hit me up at kateendeley@yahoo.com . It is best if you notify me of the event at least three weeks in advance, but I also take last minute notifications. Other than that, if you just have general questions about Chi-town's "Afro" scene, shoot me an email and I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks guys!
Kate Endeley
