(Why) Reporting the Voices of African Women and Girls Matters

An all-purpose, award-winning Africa reporter, National Public Radio’s Ofeibea Quist-Arcton is often to be found—in open-air markets, on the front line, in the boardroom, in educational institutions, in urban and village settings, in creative spaces and sacred places—listening to women and girls talk about the continent, the world, and what matters to them. And to us all. Join us as she shares stories of the unrecognized accomplishments of African women. After her remarks, she will be joined in conversation by Marco Werman, host of Public Radio International’s The World.
