NORFOLK, Va. — If you're still on a high from the newest Black Panther movie, then you will enjoy the celebration of culture and fashion that the annual "Hampton Roads Met Gala" has to offer! Our correspondent, Lauryn Bass, got a chance to see what all the fun and flare is about.

With this year's theme of the African Diaspora, the Proud Norfolk Natives non-profit hosted an event filled with music, dance, and art that's inspired by the different heritages found throughout the seven cities. The purpose is to highlight local Black-owned businesses and pour back into the youth of the community.
