Stars, Here Are Your Marching Orders

This morning we're headed to the Bronx to represent Ghana in the 3rd Annual Ghana Parade at Crotona Park in, where else, the hub of all things Ghana in New York, The Boogie Down Bronx. Last year, the stage was lit up by Blitz the Ambassador (remember him? he performed at Lincoln Center two weeks ago.), so we're expecting more of the same live shine on the stage. Plus, if last year was any indication, there will be Fan Milk and Fan Yogo! Get out of bed and get ready to march in the parade, Stars! See you there.
