When the time comes, everyone will come together, okay? Okay, girls, flight attendant etiquette is very important .

Practice it a few more times before getting on the bus. Yes! Hey, my dear Kari, why did you come here? It’s all because my mother dragged me to go on a blind date. Why didn’t you go on a blind date today? My mother said that she became a flight attendant on the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway, and her status is different. It’s too beautiful to marry a rich man Handsome, in this life, I won. Oh, this African old lady, how can she look like a domestic mother-in-law?

(Male) Uncle , why did you come at such a good time? I came at the right time. Look, I took an African shared bicycle as soon as I got off the plane.

Let me tell you, you and my sister have postponed their wedding 3 times. It’s outrageous It’s not that I’m narrow-minded, I will know whether my sister will marry or not? (Male) Marry!

pexels-photo-864939.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&h=650&w=940

. . he is. . . Uncle is the parent in China, which means I am Kari’s parent and I am Zheng Kai’s parent (female), then we are a family, hello, hello, why do I feel that we have become a family with him since then ? Yes, big brother Zhong The non-people’s family is pro- African sister can talk Zheng Kai, I’m here and I’ll make arrangements for the marriage. Time is running out, let’s hurry up and rehearse the process of the marriage.

The process is still rehearsal (Brother Uncle) It’s safe, you come to your groom, I’ll replace my sister You replace what sister here it is. . . Hey, it’s okay (male) no (female pushing shoulders) okay! I have wronged your girl. What is wronged? This is what she should do. To the people of Central and African countries, come and take the time to rehearse the first bride and groom . who? (male/female) I chase her/him no (male/female) he chases me no (male/female) I chase me Is there someone who chases me Chase yourself Happy Year of the Dog! Process Next process (Mom) Don’t flow over Who is chasing whom? It is the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway that connects us together! Well said, since the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway is the matchmaker, you should cherish the fate, husband and wife, love, and raise your eyebrows. If you give birth to a big white and fat boy, it may not be necessarily a big black and fat boy.

Auntie, I understand how you feel, but he and my sister can only have a big, white, fat and black boy. Fat boy, let’s have twins! That’s it, the two of us, the two of us, the two of us, the two of us are one family! My god , Zheng Kai, what do I think is wrong? Process, process, OK, come on, go to the next process. Husband and wife worship each other, stand face to face, bow, and never regret it for the rest of your life. Bride and groom, mouth to mouth (mother), mouth to mouth. Encourage everyone, give me a kiss. . . Oh, little sister, big brother, you are here, brother, what are they doing? Isn’t this going through the process? You came just in time, this is your business, come, come, stand up, stand up, stand up, the last item, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber, okay (Mom) wait a minute The two were busy for a long time, why did the two of them enter the bridal chamber? Auntie, thank you both for your help. Today is the two of them getting married.

No, you got it wrong. Today is the two of them getting married (big brother-in-law) It’s the two of them getting married (mother) The two of them are getting married (big brother-in-law) The two of them are getting married and so on meeting! Good guy, two brides, one groom, Zheng Kai, you have a lot of good luck, can I praise you? (Mom) Don’t touch my son-in-law! I will too, what else can you do? I don’t know as much as a monkey, you can’t handle Aunt Monkey, why are you still protecting him, haven’t you seen it yet? He’s on two boats, Zheng Kai, what’s going on with you? (Male) Kari! ! Just tell the truth, Kari, what the hell is going on? mom! Let me tell you the truth, did I just lie to you (mom) to lie to mother? I asked the teacher to pretend to be my sweetheart so you wouldn’t force me to go on a blind date (Mom) Why did you lie to Mommy Mom I don’t want to get married so early I’m going to study in China I want to be like the Chinese roll up your sleeves and work hard! Let people all over the world praise Kari.

Why didn’t you tell mom earlier? I’m afraid you won’t agree (Mom). We built the railway and raised my little Kari so well. I love Chinese people, I love Chinese aunts, don’t you just want a Chinese son-in-law? Simply wait for me to find him a No according to my appearance when I get home , don’t be careful, he’s just a boy with a white face ! Auntie, this is not appropriate (Mom) Is it a meaning, everyone, today is a happy day, let’s sing and dance, let’s hope that China-Africa friendship will be as strong as possible and create new achievements in the future.

Thank you!.

Dance Moms: Abby Appears at Nia and Kendall’s Performance (Season 6 Flashback) | Lifetime

Hello! HOLLY: Walking into The Mint
I’m definitely feeling nervous. I mean, this is
like a legit club. That’s going to be mine
Nia on stage singing. On top of that, I
decided to invite the mini moms and Abby
because I want Abby to truly see Nia as a star. Honestly, I’m not sure Abby
is going to show up today. Hey! Hi! And there you go. And there she is I don’t know what the hell
Abby is doing right now. I’m glad everyone’s
not drinking. I thought this was a bar. They said the kids
were dancing at a bar. I was like, ooh, tacky. What about like the Hard Rock
Cafe or something like that. OK.
We gotta go. Abby’s here. What? No, she’s not. Kalani just texted me
and said Abby’s here. Amazing. Great. It wouldn’t change a thing
about your performance. Nope, it’s not
changing a thing.

Thank you guys
so much for coming. I just wanted to announce
I have a very special guest that I wanted to bring on stage
to do one of her own songs. This is Nia Sue Frazier. HOLLY: That’s going to be
my Nia on stage singing She’s never done a ballad
before, and in a ballad you hear everything. It’s all on her and her vocals. So it’s a very
vulnerable opportunity for her to put herself out
there as an artist, as a singer. (SINGING) Feet
don’t fail me now. I’ve gotta get away from here. I lost my way somehow. Gotta face my fears, yeah. (SINGING) I’ll stand
here on my own, not afraid to face the crowd, no
more second guessing who I am.

I’ll wear the crown. Because I’m a winner, no
matter how many times I fall. Call me a winner, because at
the end I’ll be called a winner. Thank you everyone. I am just so, so proud of her. She looked like she
was born to perform. I’m just amazed. So I want to
bring to the stage another two special guests. I’d like to welcome back
Miss Nia Sue Frazier. And, I’d also like to
welcome Miss Kendall Vertes. JILL: I can’t believe
this is happening. She’s probably
nervous because Abby has spent years
telling her, “mm,” It’s not quite good enough.

null

But this is her opportunity
to prove her wrong. (SINGING) I feel alive,
and go through the motions I feel like trying. You’re holding my heart,
it’s growing bigger by the day. Wish I could promise
hide away. And I– I don’t want
to do anything but cry. And I– I don’t want
to do anything but cry. You guys are so good! I know! I’m a bad mom.

I’m a proud mom. Nia you can come sit. Do you guys feel so relieved? Yes. I’m so proud of you guys. You know, in some ways, I was
so nervous about Abby being here because she’s not supportive,
but I’m so happy she’s here actually hearing you guys. Actually she’s fake supportive I cannot believe Abby didn’t
congratulate Nia and Kendall for their performance. That I am not going to
stand by and let happen. Hi, how are you? Is Kendall not performing? Kendall performed. She just did the
“oohs” and cry. I thought she was
doing her own number. No.
She did. She sang. Yeah. Nia and Kendall shared
the second verse. So let’s not take that
away from Kendall. Like Nia and Kendall
both performed. Let’s save ourselves, and
let’s be nice and positive. HOLLY: Here was
the moment for Abby to say something redeeming. Something that maybe could
change where we go from here.

And she couldn’t bring
herself to take the high road. And instead, she just like
dug the hole that much deeper. And I am thinking at
this point, oh it’s on. We have competition
tomorrow against Abby. May the best team win..

2 Designers Transform Each Other’s Work (ft. Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli & Thebe Magugu) | Vogue

i think the concept of reworking and reinterpreting another designer’s work is very exciting i think it creates an opportunity for there to be creative tension i love the idea of reinterpreting that actually i even more love the idea of creating a moment between two identities to culture a moment of meeting whatever this is in my favorite color already rice wow gorgeous when i opened the box from valentino for the very first time i was incredibly nervous because i’m a bit of a planner so i like to know what i’m getting in advance beautiful but it was completely kept a secret so when it arrived i opened up the box and was this beautiful fuchsia pink oat couture dress with these incredible pleats laying it on the table you really start to appreciate the level of work and craftsmanship that has gone into this garment and it’s quite a lot of fabric on it not only the silk taffeta but inside it’s lined with a very soft pink teal and then under there a very hard and even harder tool it really is a work of art and you almost have to just stand and be really arrested by its beauty even if it does come apart i think we will just replete the section that we need yeah stressful but it’ll be okay it was very exciting this idea of reworking and recontextualizing another designer’s pieces because it speaks to the conversations we’re having already around this idea of overproduction you know instead of making new things let’s look at what we already have and try and upcycle and reinterpret and change that the look that tab sent me was the very classic contemporary suit done with the blankets from his history his heritage i love the idea of reinterpreting i even more love the idea of creating a moment between two identities to culture i’m italian we are here in roma and we’re working on a work of a human that comes from another part of the world and i wanted to get this heritage into my own culture which is the culture from a conversation always comes something something different especially when when you talk with people that are different from from you that have different stories of course i still feel that fashion is a self-expression is a language actually the the things that impressed me the most was this letter the one that tebby sent me he says something that is very moving to me and parallel tribe called the bassot and blankets form a very big part of our culture so i wanted to light this fabric but also this his culture and so that was the very starting point of this collaboration work or interpretation whatever you are calling i often say i’m not a great verbal communicator so to make up for that i use my clothes in a way to almost speak on my behalf i really wanted to take this out couture piece and move it into my universe my context and especially my way of working which is more in a really to wear context so for the dress i’m thinking it’s going to break my heart but i’m going to completely unpick it remove the skirt part remove the top part and use one of my patterns to re-cut it as a very elevated trench coat and with the leftover fabric i think we’re going to create a wide leg pair of pants with a very generous cuff on it and a matching shirt the cape is the the purest expression of future because it’s so simple so pure and it’s done with uh just cut and super knot decoration we deconstructed the suit actually and we we are applying the suit the the fabric on top of the cape giving shape to the cape but using the blanket as an embroidery saw between the cape as expression of couture and the blanket that is expression of debbie’s culture i think this creates a conversation and a good tension between our history and his heritage i was very excited to work with pia paolo on this project i deeply respect what pierre paulo does as a as a designer i think his relationship to color his relationship to proportion is so fresh and i think he’s certainly contributed to the changing conversation around what old creature is i love it clip there and it creates a really beautiful shaped hat i thought tepe has something to say he’s from south africa which is i think it’s difficult it’s not exactly in the middle of fashion i think we share same values because talking about identities being faithful to who you are trying to face another world i think it’s it’s interesting i think the connection has to be human first of everything actually i don’t have idea of what tev will do i sent him a very say classic in volume future tough address and i hope that he will handle it in his own way i think i’ve been respectful of his work but i’ve worked with my own instruments and i hope he will do the same i expect that he’s going to do the opposite of what i’m doing so taking something uh and ready to it and moving it into his very high old couture universe i’m almost doing the opposite in a lot of ways taking this incredible piece that he’s created at valentino and moving it into ready to wear where more people essentially can’t see themselves in it what i did there was a exactly the mix between creating something which was the connection between your uh identity and my own identity it was actually quite intimidating because it arrived in like a very big metal flight case with not only one but like two keys but once we opened it you really get such a even bigger appreciation of like okay turn what uh pia pilot does because you know it’s it’s precision to look absolutely effortless you know and everything like nothing was out of place and i think the exciting challenge with it was using absolutely everything the zips the corsetry um the construction the tube i felt like if i was going to un-pick the beautiful cleats um on the waist i was going to just get struck down by lightning so we just preserved all the plisay pleats and moved it into the armhole and then the white tube that was inside the dress um we took for dying with this incredible dye master called paul in the south of johannesburg and we matched the pink to the exact level um as the as the original fabric on top so there was a lot of there was a lot to play with it was a lot of fabric right it was a lot of memory as i told you i love the the fact that this this fabric was originally a blanket and was it was definitely part of your culture i i wanted to be to yes to light the your identity your culture and your heritage with something that could be uh more like italian kind of cucu it’s like a melting between the two the cape is a symbol of you know italian madonnas the renaissance culture and it’s also a symbol of cujul because it is the purest shape in couture the fabric was the the starting point of the process and so what we did was to cut the the fabric in order to give it a different placement to a light the the fabric itself so i used a different fabric because there were not as much to to yeah i wanted to use the fabric as the embroidery itself or the of the game i’m very happy of you know this this the connection we created because i felt that even in yours there’s something something that came out from our meeting and that’s it so it’s not something that i could do alone or nor you could do alone so yeah it’s the result of the meeting of two humans which i like in my own work i really do love throwing opposites together just that idea of things that shouldn’t even be together just like being meshed into one thing i think that’s where a certain magic can happen the final look reflects the respectful conversation we we have in a way it reflects the roots of table his tribe it became a suit and now he had a new transformation becoming a cape because of how i grew up i used to be so embarrassed about everything around me but like i’ve made it my own personal mission to almost take that and move it into the echelons of luxury you know i think people have really stale ideas about what african fashion is i just want to show people that we’re very nuanced so it’s like a cape in a facing contemporary and it’s of course the end of this path we had with tabeth i just hope that tebbe will recognize himself i think when you explore collaborative efforts like that and you test things that are very disparate i think when they come together it forms something new altogether something challenging and i think this project was exactly that i’m very happy i have to say that what i saw because at the end the challenge was to to reflect two stories to identities two big cultures melting together into something that could reflect both together you

West African Peanut Sauce with Udon Noodles – How To

♪♪ -Hey, what’s up, everyone?
I’m J.J. Johnson. I’m the chef and founder
of Fieldtrip in Harlem. I’m making West African peanut
sauce with some udon noodles. It’s gonna be super delicious and you’re gonna want to cook it
for everybody you know. I’m going to make
the peanut sauce. Small dice on the onion. I’m going to use
half of this onion. So, listen, there’s five
mother sauces right now. Tomato, bechamel, veloute,
espagnole, hollandaise. And that’s how you learn
the cuisines of those regions of the world,
through the mother sauces, in culinary school;
I want culinary schools to add
the West African peanut sauce and then culinary schools
from around the world will be learning what
West African food is all about.

And that’s where it starts,
right with the mother sauces. I don’t like to peel my carrot. I like to taste a carrot
before I peel it. If it tastes nice and sweet
with the skin on, it’s great. I’m going to small
dice these carrots too. And the flavor here is gonna be
a little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. You don’t need them
to be the perfect size because you’re gonna blend
this all up at the end. So, some oil. Onions —
have my pan at a medium heat. And add some salt just cause I don’t want to get
any color on my onions. Sweat those out
for thirty seconds. I’m gonna throw my carrots in. I’m gonna add salt again. I’m gonna let these go. -Smash my garlic. Gonna small-dice
this here too. Normally I would
add garlic in first, but I want the garlic
just a little bit of heat because I want the spiciness
in the garlic.

When you talk
about mother sauces, they come from a specific region
in the world. And none of the mother
sauces include Africa, which is one of the largest
continents in the world. You learn cuisine
through mother sauces so if there’s no mother sauce that is taking us
through West Africa, then how can
you understand the food? So a little bit of celery,
gonna sweat this down, and add a little bit more oil, a little bit more of salt. I love seasoning in layer, so everything is
getting seasoned evenly. So I seasoned my carrots,
my celery, my onions. Nobody’s being disrespected
in the pan. Tomato. Again, another medium dice,
or small dice. I want the seeds and the guts. I want everything from
the tomato in there for that flavor. Plum tomatoes are good,
good balance of water and sweet flavor.

And then add some cumin,
not powdered cumin, cumin seeds. I went this cumin,
the seeds to pop, and you get all that nice flavor
from that fresh cumin when it hits the oil. This is really smelling amazing. So good.
So a couple of keys here. I’m going to add in
the tomato paste first and I’m going to pincage this,
and you know pincaging means
separating the oil in the fat, but really cooking the paste
to ignite the flavor so it doesn’t taste
like canned tomato paste.

I’m gonna let that cook
for a couple minutes. I’m gonna get
my peanut butter ready. Unsweetened peanut butter. And it’s okay if the oil
separates on the top. That’s some good peanut butter. If your peanut butter
doesn’t separate, you should question
the peanut butter maker, because peanut has oil in it and it should separate
because it’s…
…it’s a liquid. Now, I’m going to add
in my peanut butter. My history with the sauce is
I cooked in Ghana in 2011. That’s where my inspiration has
always come from. I look through food to
the West African lens everywhere I go when I travel. The next largest
population of West Africans in the world is Brazil. And in this certain region
in Brazil, the Japanese
and the West Africans live together and they eat
stewy meets with pasta or noodles.

So this was my inspiration
of, you know, doing research and really seeing
that these cultures really have an influence from West Africa
from a food perspective. And that’s what I celebrate. So you can start to see
the peanut butter and the oil
starting to separate. That’s really good stuff. I’m going to turn this down so we don’t burn
the peanut butter. I’m going to add in the tomatoes and add in a little bit of
my stock. I’m gonna stir this up, bring it
to a simmer, as you can see. I’m gonna add the rest of
the stock, or a little bit more stock just to see
when it reduces. Gonna add a bay leaf. I’m gonna cut this
bird’s eye chili in half for some spice,
with the seeds and the stem, because the stem is
the spiciest part of the pepper in any pepper —
I learned that from a grandmother
in her kitchen in Ghana when they were making
their hot sauce.

And when she would add the stems
in and blend it up, the fragrance and the aroma
and the spice would just be at another level,
so… Okay, let me add in
the cilantro. Give it this nice,
herbaceous flavor. I don’t like to take
the stems off. I think a lot of us remove
the stems from our herbs and the stems
have really great flavor. I’m gonna add that in. Gonna bring it
to a hard simmer. Let it go for about
10 to 15 minutes. I’m going to make
the udon noodles now, or the base for
the udon noodles. So this time
I’m using a yellow onion. And a little more oil here;
salt. Okay, carrots. The food past of
West African food around the world
doesn’t come from a celebrated moment in life.

There was West African slaves, they were taken around
the world. When they didn’t want
to do the work, then there was other cultures
that came in — so you had the migrant
Chinese workers, you had the migrant
Vietnamese workers, the migrant Japanese workers that filled in
to do the work because West African slaves
refused to do it. I researched those places
and I figure out how to make super crave-able
amazing food around it. Let me check this West African
peanut sauce. Ooh, yeah, look at that.
It’s coming together nice. I’m going to blend this sauce. I’m gonna blanch off
my udon noodles. So you’ll just drop them
into some hot simmering water, doesn’t need to be like
a hard boil, for about two minutes. At a young age
my grandmother injected DNA —
like, food DNA into me, like, I didn’t watch cartoons
at a young age, I was, like,
in the kitchen with her.

I don’t know
if I was really cooking. I was there peeling carrots
and onions, supposedly. My kids, they’re in the kitchen
with me all the time. I believe that if you cook
with your kids in the kitchen, they will eat better because
they feel like they’re involved. You’re able to teach your
children the world through food. So, some udon noodles here, some peanut sauce. Ooh!
Look at that! Little salt… Black pepper. The final touches —
some edamame. ♪♪ Just going to add a little bit
of fresh lemon juice here.

Brighten it up. All right.
Let’s plate this up. A little bit of these
edamame on top. ♪♪ Some Thai basil, little bit of mint,
a little bit of basil flavor. It’s going to be creamy.
It’s going to be like, goodness. Good. Great nutty flavor. You get a little bit of
the cumin, a little heat
from the bird’s eye chili. And the basil goes
so good with the peanut butter, get a little bit of that
mint flavor, a little bit of the —
that nice sweetness. So good that you need
to click the recipe below and come uptown to Fieldtrip
between 115th and 116th on Malcolm X Boulevard,
right in front of the 2 and the 3 train,
and you can see me there.

Bigger than the songs itself. I went back to Nigeria when I was 11 years old. Afrobeats faucets right into one of the most loyal.
and prevalent fan bases on the planet: the Nigerian diaspora.Any area on the planet where there are Nigerians, Afrobeats allows.- The Nigerian diaspora is without a doubt one of the most essential. part of promoting Afrobeats to the remainder of the globe. Afrobeats has only been able to spread out around the globe as a result of YouTube,. and also social media, and streaming systems like Spotify as well as iTunes. As well as that ‘ s done something actually crucial. for’Afrobeats artists back in Nigeria.
It ‘ s permitted them to in fact make cash from selling their songs.- Do you have an iTunes account? – No, I put on ‘ t. -Exactly.

Or else, you can just truly generate income. from shows, wedding celebrations, ringback tones.
– The origin and also the heart of the music is in Africa. -Twenty years from currently, you ‘ ll have appears coming from every edge. And also that ‘ s when we ‘ ll have our sector.
Eze desires to develop a music distribution network in Africa that ‘ s so strong, music won ‘ t have to travel to London, or to New york city, for artists to make cash. African musicians can generate income selling their music in Africa. As well as for Universal, this is larger than just Afrobeats. -We have many various sounds, so numerous different. markets, and we still need to connect to every other.
Eze claims a continent with greater than 54 nations, with over. a billion people shouldn ‘ t be reduced to selling one noise.
And that ‘ s what Afrobeats has actually unlocked. There ‘ s a whole lot extra going on musically in Africa than just Afrobeats. Due to the fact that if the increase of Afrobeats proves anything, it ‘ s that markets from Lagos to London are prepared for even more.
And additionally sign up for the Quartz network for even more video clips similar to this one.

And also when it isn ‘ t taking place in the streets, it ‘ s happening. And also while it ‘ s informal and unstructured, it ‘ s pretty effective. And also that ‘ s when we ‘ ll have our market.
