This weekend head to the Filmore in Silver Spring for the Africa Gives Back International (AGBI) Gala.

This year, Real Housewives of Potomac Star Gizelle Bryant will be on hand as AGBI’s Ambassador and Honoree for this year.
The event brings together young professionals, influencers, and taste-makers to celebrate with the best Afrobeats and Caribbean tunes , raise funds and create awareness for clean water programs in sub-Saharan Africa. This year proceeds will go towards building water wells, providing clean water to needy villages in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
The goal of the evening is to expand awareness of the need to end the global water crisis. This year’s gala will be an interactive experience. Guest will be able to experience the Water Walk where guests can get a glimpse of the 6 mile walk villagers must make to fetch water. In addition, they will be able to the lifestyle art exhibit showcasing jungle photographs the village members from Sierra Leone.
