Drums and laughter filled the atmosphere, while Our Culture is Beautiful hosted their Laugh Out Loud event at Five Point Gallery on Saturday April 24^th. We were able to play instrumentals and participate in the drum circle! I picked up the tambourine with excitement. The conversations about the arts and how it helps us as a human being to cope with life. Beautiful words from Effie and Angaza, including amazing performances by Coleus with guest drummers, Ghazi, Steve on conga drums, and myself (Ysanne) singing a couple songs. Amy from Mental Health gave us stats about how laughter makes dopamine (“happy hormone”), promoting our happiness and positive attitude.  Ngola shared his research about Vitamin D deficiency and how it can affect our wellbeing on a larger scale. The event ended with a jam session, whether playing an instrument or dancing. Check out the pictures below. Be sure to follow OCiB to keep up to date on their next event.
