The Congolese Women’s Forum 2024 - Washington, D.C.
After successful gatherings in New York, Kinshasa, and Goma, we held the Congolese Women's Forum in Washington D.C. The annual event celebrates women's dreams and abilities from the Congolese and African diaspora. This year, we added a focus on wellness to our staple themes of career and culture. The day featured cultural discussions, career talks, inspiring stories, Afrofusion food, drinks, a photo booth, live DJ, and gift bags. Check out highlights below!
