Hello!
Hello! My name is Nadira, and I’m from Niger.
As a student at Rockford University, I was inspired to create an event that celebrates the beauty and diversity of African culture.
That idea grew into what is now the Rockford African Cultural Fair (RACF) a vibrant gathering that brings people together to honor Africa’s rich heritage, traditions, and creativity.
