Carnival 2017!

So I'm one of those firm believers that NOTHING should be spoken of Carnival until the Christmas Season and all that it represents has had all the glory and honor that it deserves.  Now that we have given due praise to the birth of our Lord & Savior, I truly believe that we can slip into a season of celebration of music, color, food, life, and culture!

Bellisima Designs has created a glittering creation befitting of Ms. Flag Fantasy, and we are looking forward to flaunting it on the 2017 Carnival Circuit!

Let the festivities begin, and by all means, let the countdown begin ... Carnival is just around the corner, and coming to a city near you!

2016 Miami Broward One Carnival!

Labor Day on the Parkway was a nice time.  Lots of color and costumes and cool Caribbean vibes for the West Indian American Day Parade!  Those who were careful enough to preserve their beads and feathers are now looking ahead to Miami Broward One Carnival which takes place over the Columbus Day Weekend (Thursday, October 6th through Monday, October 10th, 2016). 

Flag Fantasy is especially looking forward to that weekend to participate in the annual Carnival Pop Up Shop Miami, where a large number of vendors will be assembled at the Grand Café in Pembroke Pines, FL to provide last minute goods and services to the throngs of crowds converging on Miami for the Carnival that weekend.  Stop by to say hello and maybe pick up a FlagFan or 2 for you and your Crew to #RepOnDeRoad at the parade on Sunday!

Trini Link to Pan-African Movement

Newly elected Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Dr Keith Rowley, recently paid a visit to the Memorial Library of George Padmore in Accra, Ghana.


George Padmore was a Trinidadian who, along with fellow pan-Africanist Ghanaian independence leader Kwame Nkrumah, organized the Fifth Pan-African Congress which was held in Manchester, United Kingdom, 15–21 October 1945.  Most of those in attendance at this event were instrumental in linking the Motherland to the Diaspora and then went on to become illustrious leaders in their own countries throughout the world.

2016 Black History Month

Black History Month 2016 from Flag Fantasy on Vimeo.

 

Flag Fantasy takes pride in celebrating the cultural diversity, and in acknowledging  the accomplishments & contributions of the African Diaspora in various communities throughout the world ... this and every month of the year!

The three colors of the Pan-African flag represent: Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation; Black: black people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag; and Green: the abundant natural wealth of Africa.  Flag Fantasy's creative interpretation on this original design deluxe fan serves as a reminder that even though the African homeland and journey therefrom are now memories from a painful past, the people look forward to building a brighter future and laying strong foundations in new worlds.

2015 Emancipation Day

Excerpted from http://www.sebadamani.com/blog/happy-emancipation-day-nyc ...

Emancipation Day is a day that marks the ending of enslavement for many people of Afrikan descent. Emancipation Day is celebrated in many former British colonies in the Caribbean and areas of the United States on various dates in observance of the emancipation of enslaved people of African origin. The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 ended slavery in the British Empire on August 1, 1834 and throughout the Caribbean Emancipation Day is widely observed during the first week of August. In many Caribbean countries the Emancipation Day celebration is a part of Carnival, as the Caribbean Carnival takes place at this time (although Carnaval in Trinidad and Tobago takes place in February or March according to Ash Wednesday, not near August. In the U.S. different states have different days that they mark and celebrate Emancipation Day.
