The 36th African World Festival ended a week ago at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History but there is still much to share from the festival.

The story of Yvonne, an from Ghana. After high school, she went straight to school. Yvonne began her business with two sewing machines and no money to invest in her business. People bought her fabric to sew and that's how she started making money. Today, she's grown her business to 200 sewing machines, having locations in both New York and Ghana. The masks are carved by her family, too.
