    A Lifeslice first! There are 2 interviewees at the same time; I spoke with Nafissa and her sister Nanaissa about their home country of Mali. Unsurprisingly, we hit again on the idea of a global community as they described how Mali has adopted and then adjusted customs from other countries. Completing the circle, we saw how other places have taken Malian art and wove it into their own customs and appreciations.
