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.
