The WHS Black Student Union (BSU) is putting together a night full of tradition, entertainment and fashion to showcase Africa’s colorful culture. They also hope to raise some money for an important cause.
Their upcoming fashion show will feature some of WHS’s young women wearing a variety of clothes symbolizing African heritage from the west, the east and the north. But that’s not all: There will also be traditional African music in the air, sung by a few talented souls from this very school.
The BSU activities coordinator Sandra Njitanji will focus the entire night on raising money for the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation with the ticket sales they acquire through the attendees. The BSU is looking forward to expressing the African heritage and at the same time, help to fight the battle against breast cancer.
“The BSU wants to help people. But we cannot do it alone. That’s what this is all about: helping people,” Njitanji said.
The fashion show will take place Nov. 20 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the cafeteria. Prices range from $7 for adults, $5 for students and $3 for children under 10 years old.
