Marnie Chesterton

It's our day.

So, just past the 25th of May was Africa Day, and it's celebrated each year to commemorate the establishment of what is now known as the African Union in 1963, with its roots in the struggle against colonialism in

It symbolises the collective aspirations of African nations for unity, socio-economic progress and cultural pride.

So Phyllis, given that you're the one in Africa, happy Your Entire Continent Day.

Thank you so much, Marnie.

Is it like a national or an international holiday day?

Do you get the day off?

Do you do anything special?

So it's not a national holiday, especially here in Kenya, but in the office, we knew about that.

And because we are journalists, of course, we did something about that for our audience.

But amongst ourselves, we shared what we love about the continent.

So our colleagues were speaking about different types of foods from different countries, you know, attires.

Some of my colleagues dressed in their traditional attires to come to the office.

And what was most interesting was the dance and the dance styles.

You have dance-offs in the office?

Yeah, it was during lunchtime, so yeah.

I would love to watch different bureaus of the BBC around the world doing their interpretation of a dance-off.

I suspect there might be quite a lot of dad dancing coming from the UK pubs.

Yeah, OK.

They say that in Africa we dance vigorously.
