Flavours Festival




We had a fantastic time at the Flavours Festival last weekend. This was life as it should be, everyone having a lot of fun and sharing some of the best aspects of their cultures - amongst other things, great music and dance; amazing paper animals from the Prahran Chinese Women's Group, karate demonstrations and yummy foods from around the world! Pictured above are the Anbessa Gebrehiwot Trio from Ethiopia.

International Women's Day - African Women

To celebrate International Women's Day we've created a list featuring one woman from each of the African countries. From Presidents, Nobel Prize winners & international karate judges to women with really long names - try 'Rabodoandrianampoinimerina' - the list is far from exhaustive. Do you have any suggestions for African women we can add to the list? Click here to go to the list.
