On this third month of Black History, we give praise to African Women, the tie that binds us together. We acknowledge the mothers, aunts, sisters and all those who have prayed, worked, written, sung, and acted on the behalf of African Women everywhere.
“If you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a nation”
