Empowering women tops agenda for International Women’s Day event

With the observance of International Women’s Day just a few days away, an entity named Conversations with Selwyn (CWS), in collaboration with Red Entertainment, will be hosting an event at the Marian Academy to recognise the importance of women in society, the need to honour them, as well as to inspire the younger generation of today.
The event will feature inspiring women, among whom are Sherry Ann Dixon, a lecturer with vast expertise in areas such as confidence-building and assertiveness. She is also a beauty specialist, radio presenter, and the managing director of Dixon Consultancy.
Another inspirational speaker would be the Editor-in-Chief of The Network Journal, Rosalind Mc Lymont, a former International Trade reporter and the first female managing editor of The Journal of Commence.
There would also be in attendance Dr Asante Leblanc, a General Practitioner and certified medical herbalist; Lady A Anande Trotman-Joseph, a Guyana-born lawyer; and Dr Samantha Tross, who will all deliver remarks on the celebration of International Women’s Day 2018.
International Women’s Day will be celebrated on March 8, 2018 under the theme “Time is now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives”. The women selected will share their knowledge, and seek to empower many young women of Guyana.
