My company has internal networking groups to help support the groups that aren't in the majority within our company. I'm a member of our EDEN group, which stands for Ethnically Diverse Employee Network. Every year in Houston we volunteer at the Houston International Festival. Not only is it great to give back to the community through volunteering, but then we get to enjoy the event for free! Here is a picture of our team volunteering at the drink station.

We definitely had the best location at the festival because we were directly across from the Asia Society of Texas Center Stage and were able to see really great performances while working.

Here are some pictures of the great acts we saw!

Now on to some great food....yea I love chicken on a stick. The whole time I was working the drink station, I kept seeing people walk by with amazing smelling food, and I was salivating. I couldn't wait to get off and buy some festival food!!

So after Amy and I stuffed our faces we decided to explore the festival. Here are pictures from our explorations!

This lady was wearing a traditional dress of Nigeria. Amy and I tried on their head gear too, but I looked retarded and Amy looked chic!

Some guys playing on typical African drums in the African area of the festival

Me having fun with this fallen decoration in the Louisiana Section! haha

Some fun Zydeco music was goin' on at the Louisiana Stage!

We discovered these purses made out of cork! So neat!

I thought these were the coolest drink holders ever. I need one for right near my bed

Amy bought this awesome wine rack for her condo. So neat!

Lots of African inspired art in the carribean/african section

Amy loved these coasters and the artwork at this vendors booth because it featured "vintage" cars

I loved this silk fan

Then I fell in love with these glass charms...and guess what?! They were on sale for $1.00. Didn't matter the size or what it was. I must have left with at least 100 of them...hahaha
