Chekechea Pryor from South Central Los Angeles left the United States for the first time last July and made her way to Belfast to study Irish history and shoot a documentary film.
She met with Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams and visited the West Belfast Festival where she and Adams chatted about how great it was that she brought the Southern California weather with her.
“I wish more Americans could come here and meet people who are moving from war to peace,” she said.
Chekechea was part of a group of 15 students from California State University, Chico, who spent part of their summer in Northern Ireland.
