SOULFUL SUNDAYS

“For most of history,

Anonymous was a woman.”

Virginia Woolf     

This month of March we pay homage to all the mothers, daughters, sisters, WOMEN as this month is Women's History month.  Women as a whole have had our challenges, struggles and trumphs over the many many years on this earth.  This generation can tell a story and so can the hundreds of generations before us and after us.  Around NYC this week many different events are paying homage as well.  We would like to share those events with our readers.
