Largo, Maryland

Largo, Maryland is a hidden paradise. I love going to the Capital Bookfest in October. My family and I have been going for three years to promote my father's book and every year I'm shocked. I'm shocked at how inviting and kind the people of this city are.

The adults are courteous and kind when you smile they smile back. And God bless the children they've raised who are mannerly and respectful.

Only in Largo would I be able to not only see in person but meet Nikki Giovanni. I hope the citizens of Largo realize what kind of treasue they have in their citizens and work hard to perserve that, because it's rare.

Everyone was welcoming and sweet, even the people who didn't buy my dad's book. If you don't like sci-fi that's fine, but they were still very nice.

My Weekend Oct 4 and 5

Well, my family took your annual trip the the Capital Bookfest in Largo Maryland! It went terrificly. Terrificly? That's not a word. But that's how well it went, I've even invented a new word.

I nearly knocked over one of the greatest African American activists in history. Ms. Nikki Giovanni was there and my father had written a piece on the current state of African Americans in today's society, called Legacy Lost and she's mentioned it in. So, I didn't think it wouldn't hurt for her to have a copy.

I rushed over, me and one other lady I don't know what she wanted but EVERYONE was watching me run like a crazy woman over to her and she stopped so suddenly (I was behind her) I nearly knocked her over! Oh my God! I'm laughing about it now, but I would've been so embarrased if I had actually knocked her over and worse hurt her. So, there's extra proof that God is looking out for me all of the time.

I cut the other lady off, I apologized for doing so, gave her my dad's piece and left.

She was nice.
