3/17: Women of the World Festival at the Apollo Theater
Theme: Bake Bread, Build Bridges
We are more alike than different. For instance, we all have some sort of bread in our culture that we just love munching on, right? Check out our multicultural confab of yummy breads and the wonderful women making them.
Programming

How do we translate culture to community via food? In this panel discussion, we’re showcasing the breads and immigrant and entrepreneurial stories of 3 female restaurateurs in Harlem: Anita Trehan (Indian, Chaiwali), Maymuuna Birjeeb (Somali, Safari), and Beejhy Barhany (Ethiopian, Tsion Cafe).
