International Women Month


Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March the 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. On march 21, a panel of bay area African  women from various professional fields will be my guests on Africamix. Join me for music and conversation  as I welcome and celebrate these women and hear their stories.
