    Happy International Women’s Day 2021

    Today, March 8, 2021, as the world has done yearly since February 28, 1909, we celebrate the cultural, social, political, economic, intellectual, and professional achievements, along with the attendant and intersecting issues and problems, of women at all levels of life across the globe. With the #ChooseToChallenge, the 2021 theme of events, are highlighted the enormous changes and challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on individual lives in particular, and on the world in general, transitioning usual physical festival activities to virtual events that now include online and Zoom meetings and interactions on virtually anything and everything possible under the sun.
