This Sunday service is to recognize International Women’s Day, which takes place around the world on March 8th.This TED Talk incorporates three important aspects of this day: 1) it is international, given that the speaker is Australian; 2) it gives voice to a smart woman; and 3) it recognizes an aboriginal person of colour.  Michelle Deshong is a strong self-confident advocate for her gender and for other black women, who she states make the best leaders.

International Women’s Day is one of Karen Christie’s favorite days of the year.  So she offered to pull together this service of celebration and awareness.  Her career focused on the world at large, and actively promoted the important role of women in the development of their nations.
