    The United States is truly a remarkable place. It is touted as the greatest nation on earth, not because of its military might or size of its economic, but because it is the land where people of different social, religious and racial backgrounds came together to create a remarkable success story…and then the rest of the world followed.

    The African diaspora is part of the success story of the United States; their hard work and determination to create a brighter future for their children and grandchildren have been felt for centuries – from slaves singing songs of freedom on plantations many centuries ago, to free men and women shaping the world of business, sports, technology and politics today.

    This is worth celebrating. This is why GUBA Awards is in the United States – to celebrate the achievements of Ghanaians and African business and individuals based in the United States.

    GUBA Awards promotes closer economic, cultural and social links between Ghana and the United Kingdom. Launched in 2010 as the GUBA Awards, the annual event celebrates and acknowledges the contribution of Ghanaian and African based businesses and individuals in the United Kingdom.

    RuPaul’s DragCon NYC is an annual drag exposition held in New York City, which debuted in September 2017. … The event is an outgrowth of the internationally successful RuPaul’s Drag Race, which generated Drag Race Thailand, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, and Chile’s The Switch Drag Race.

    To get the most bang for your buck, get there as early as you can and visit as many booths as possible. Obviously, that’s not entirely realistic (or recommended for everyone), so here’s the basic what-to-know about the weekend.

    Panels are some of the most exciting parts of DragCon. This is where you can hear some of your favorite drag queens chime in on a variety of topics, with everything from Broadway to fashion to political activism.

    They’re also the perfect way to get off your feet for a bit and hear some candid conversations between panel speakers. You’ll likely learn some new things, whether it’s a backstage moment during Drag Race or a new makeup tip.
