CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY WITH YOUR WORDS AND VOICES

To celebrate International Women's Day and recognize women's accomplishments and struggles for equality, justice, and peace, Ekta invites you to an evening of poetry and readings about women. Come and share your words and hear others' thoughts on all that is delightful and disturbing about being a woman in today's world. The evening will also feature a performance by acclaimed spoken word artist, Shailja Patel, and excerpts from a play on domestic violence in the South Asian community.
