Hey, y'all!! Welcome to my page. *smiles*
If you're interested in African Civilizations, feel free to join my group.

If you have a myspace account, you may know me as "Chokolate." I have a group: "African Civilizations: Kingdoms and Empires"





I'd like to meet:
historians. africanists. poets. writers. artists. philosophers. scientists. educators. vegans. vegetarians. lovers of world culture. community development activists/workers. silly people. environmentalists.
