Cherice Harrison Nelson (b. 1959, New Orleans, LA) is steeped in authentic African American Carnival masking tradition, a culture practiced only in New Orleans. She is the third generation in her family to participate, a Mardi Gras Day ceremonial masquerading ritual handed down from her late father, Big Chief Donald Harrison, Sr. Her dress style is in homage to traditions of West Africa.
