Notes From a Native Daughter

In July, 2008, I, Princess Rachella, Intrepid African American Girl International Journalism Consultant, pulled up stakes once again and headed to Nairobi, Kenya. Through my various adventures, I've concluded that if I get any MORE explosively fabulous in these prequel years to "THE BIG 5-0," I will have to register myself with the Pentagon as a thermonuclear incendiary device.

Strike A Pose

Let me be clear: the fuzzy image in the background of this shot is an extremely large Silverback gorilla, in the Ruhengeri mountains of Northern Rwanda. He is about 20 feet behind me, and I and 7 British tourists had just spent about an hour hiking at high speed through rough terrain to catch a glimpse of Homey G and his crew.

Naturally, I shoved my new Grown-Up Girl Canon 550D camera at our tracker guide, to obtain the obligatory souvenir photo of my once- in-a-lifetime Rwandan Gorilla Trek. I mean, who wouldn't want a totally kewl shot like that?
