I'd like to meet:

All afrocentric people. Africans, Jamaicans, and Caribbean people. Anyone with a love of the African, Jamaican, and Caribbean culture (A TRUE LOVE) not to be defined by clothing style or commercial representation and an oversimplified perspective of all things African. I'd like to meet people with a true understanding of the culture and history. Reggae lovers, especially Jamaicans, Caribbeans, and Africans. Am I making myself clear? Especially dark skinned people. Love that dark skin.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
