Sunday September 2nd 2007 will be a very busy and also an important day for

the African people in Connecticut. It is the celebration of the beauty of

African culture.

The most talked about and awaited pageant is finally here in Connecticut

this Sunday. The population of African immigrants has increased in number

for the past few years. Some have risen third to fourth generations whilst

new comers also arrive every day.

For all these years, there hasn't been any one event that has been able to

reach out to all Africans and also give Africans a lot of attention in the

State like this one has. This will be the biggest African event in years in

the State of Connecticut.

The theme of Pageant is *uniting All People of African Heritage for a Better

Africa.* Unlike all beauty pageants this pageant is also a charity event.

The pageant also has a recognition award section that will be giving to a

young African from the community who has attained success in a particular

field.

After thorough selection at a pre-pageant, eight finalists have been chosen

to participate at the main event on Sunday September 2nd 2007. All the girls

possess culture, glamour, professionalism, intelligence and high level of

education that this event requires. They will be judged on Traditional wear,

Evening Wear, swimsuit, talent and Q/A.

Mr. Kwadjo Osei-Wusu (Don Cuzy)( a young entrepreneur, community activist

and aspiring fashion mogul) founder and president of Don Juan Inc., the

company organizing this event assures us that this event will definitely

change the perception of others about Africans in the world.

He also invites everyone who supports African Culture and also interested to

see a new Africa, to come to *50 Chapman Place East Hartford Ct.,* on *Sunday

September 2nd 2007 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm for this event.*
