When Mynyon Minor was a little girl, she watched her aunties and cousins take part in a century-old tradition called 'strolling.' Now that she's a grown-up, she's following in their footsteps. 'Being around that type of environment is exciting. I wanted to get up and dance too,' Minor said. She'll finally get her chance at this year's Black Joy Parade in Oakland along with dozens of her sorority sisters all dressed in their signature pink and green colors.
'Often times on college campuses that's your first introduction to Black Greek letter organization and so you want to be part of that. you want to be a part of that energy.'According to Mosley, strolling involves rhythmic movements, hand signs, and specific steps unique to each organization. 'You'll see a lot of looking in the mirror, because we're pretty girls! And you'll see a lot of pinkies, which is also our sign,' she explained.
