Next Friday, March 7, AWDF and our new partner, Brand Woman Africa, will be hosting an International Women’s Day celebration at the Alliance Française d’Accra. In anticipation of this artistic adventure, the press and several artists who will be featuring their work, were invited to the AWDF headquarters for a small meet-up. Despite the heat, everyone had a chance to share a bit of themselves and we heard from AWDF CEO, Theo Sowa; BWA Founder, Anita Erskine-Amaizo; AfterSchool Ghana Founder, Kinna Likimani; and Alliance Française Director, Patrice Gilles.
!["We want the world to know that we are self-sufficient. With or without external help, we can actually do it...I want [BWA]'s story to be told from the perspective of the young African woman whose life we were able to change." - Erskine- Amaizo](https://web.archive.org/web/20140228182518/http://www.africlub.net/awdf/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/DSCN1813.jpg)
AWDF, Brand Woman Africa, Alliance Française and the African women artists hope to see you all next Friday, beginning at 6 PM. International Women’s Day deserves to be celebrated, whether you know about feminism or not. Come show your support for these women, it is sure to be a night to remember.
