Mona Banayan

Hello everyone, my name is Mona. I was born in Tehran, Iran. We  have four seasons in Tehran. I moved to the US when I was 27. I like to learn different languages and cultures. During pandemic I tried to cook different kinds of food, and helping my son with his zoom. My favorite holidays is Thanksgiving. Because we get together with our families and friends and we are thankful for what we have and it's really interesting for me because we don't have this tradition in Iran, my son loves to eat mac and chees and I learnt to make mac and chees because of this holiday . I am so happy that I could attend this class.

Hello everyone, you can call me whatever you want, you can call me Africa , Collins, Wewa, Wakanda, basically I roll with anything just don't call me ashy-knuckles, you don't have to tell me what I already know I'm. :). haha. Well I was born in West Africa a country called Kenya, and came to the U.S when I was 19 years. I recently got out of service Honorably where, I served as a U.S Marine where I served for 4 yrs( and 23 seconds.) I'm proud of myself  that is one of my greatest accomplishments I've done. I currently live in San Diego with my best friend who we became friends while in the service, and used to live right across the hall from me in the same barracks ,he got out before me because his contract ended earlier and talked me into staying in San Diego but soon or later I will actually have to move to Los Angeles. I'm a Stand Up Comedian and often I perform in LA, you can catch some of my sets on my social media, I do acting as well so more frequent than not I road trip to LA for an audition or role and lastly Dancing is my greatest passion . I enjoy dancing a lot because I like busting a couple of moves in any public areas where music is playing. Im a christian and I believe God is the  reason I've made this far, so I always pray everyday before I go to sleep to thank Him for His Love, grace, mercy and favor. I'm not a virgin, just putting it ou there, off topic for everybody. The rest you can ask me in person.I also went to Vegas once and gambled with One dollar bill on that big spinning wheel . I lost my one brand new dollar bill, i could't sleep for 9 weeks, I'm okay now though. Thank you for reading about me and my hyped-up-self. Add me on Instagram @WAKANDABOY100. God Bless You.

Hello everyone, my name is Myriam but you can call me Mimssou (meem-ssou) or even Mimi (me-me) i like both. I live in France but I am currently in Ivory Coast (a country located in West Africa) with my dad who lives there with my other little brothers and sisters because my parents are divorced.
I am passionate about many things because I am a very curious person who loves to discover and learn. So I would like to make journalism my profession because I am also very open-minded, I love talking to people even if sometimes (and this is one of my main flaws) I don't want to talk to anyone and I shut myself off very easily. But apart from that I love creating, learning, discussing, exchanging. And it's a good transition to say that I'm the creator of an instagram page called PAMOJA which is dedicated to learning about African cultures and it targets the black community I'm part of. I am very committed to the fight against racism as I am a little black girl from two African parents. Being Senegalese and Ivorian, my two different cultures mean a lot to me and make me the person I know and shape my identity.

Love you all 🥥🥭

Hello Everyone! Please call me Sharon or Professor. I grew up in Albany, which is the capital of New York state. It's a city that is a couple of hours north of New York City and much less exciting ;) My favorite holiday is called Thanksgiving. I love it because I get to see my family, and my mother-in-law always makes a smoked turkey. She wraps the turkey in banana leaves when she cooks it, and it's so delicicious! She learned this recipe when she lived in HawaiI. I hope I can see more of my family soon!
