[NFBSF] Haben Girma guest speaking event

Tue Oct 6 05:21:45 UTC 2020

I agree she is most interesting and her book is excellent. After reading the entire letter I gather the workshop is targeting young adolescent women throughout the community and not necessarily members from our chapter. I think this news blurb is intended for us to circulate
