This unprecedented summit for women of color by women of color, lead by longtime AIDS activist, Sheryl Lee Ralph, will bring together women and girls from America to South Africa. Women who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS will discuss some of the most pressing challenges facing African and American women in reference to this disease and its unique affect on women.
In addition to discussion groups and workshops, the women will tour Robben Island and the townships, learn to work with beads with our partners at the incredible Monkey Biz, and have dinner at Moyo’s on the Spier Estate.
