This episode, originally aired the first week of March, was in honor of International Women's Day (March 8). Obviously, I needed to have a couple of New York's best selectresses in control of the tunes that night. I had to bring out Sweet V, a Shanty Town regular, alongside African Violet Roots doing her first (but definitely not last) set here on the program. I also thought it would be great to have Dawta Maolee aka Carla St. Romain back on the show, to catch up with her and hear more about her works in the community, with her charity Call to Feed the Poor (https://www.facebook.com/feedthepoorworldwide) We talked about a lot of things, but what I found most interesting as well as most important, was the fact that we often look to women in our lives for inspiration. Whether it be those in your family, your neighbors or those we have come to know in our life, everyday women can live extraordinary lives.
