This year was the 10th anniversary of the African Music and Cultural Festival in Melbourne(AMFC), Australia. From 17 Nov to 19 Nov, African Australians gathered in Fed Square for a good time. There was live music, African drumming, raffles and African food stalls.
This festival is the most prominent African festival in the country, and it is significant as it helps to promote African culture. The AMCF chair, Fred Alale, was on the ground, welcoming guests and making sure things were running smoothly.
Looking forward to future festivals

July 18th is a special day we celebrate an extraordinary man Nelson Mandela(Madiba). It’s a day to embrace fighting for equality, reconciliation and embracing unity.
December last year, I had the privilege of visiting Robben Island with my parents, who were my first teachers of African history. Also, the person who conducted our tour had also been a prisoner on the island, and he was vulnerable enough to share his story.
I left there inspired to do my part to change the world positively.
In May, the city of Melbourne hosted the 2023 Rotary International Convention. As a Melbourne resident and Rotarian I was glad this grand event was held in my city.
The House of Friendship was where all Rotarians connected and enjoy hundreds of Rotary project booths, vendors, foods, and entertainment options.
Also, the presentations and breakout sessions were inspirational. I’m excited for the next conference as Rotary continues to make the world a better place.
Today we take time to celebrate the beautiful continent of Africa.
Africans in Africa and overseas celebrate their African heritage and unity by gathering and hosting events. For example, I attended the Africa Day Gala Dinner and Advancing African Australia Agenda (AAAA) in Melbourne.
As we reflect on the last 60 years, it’s more important than ever to reflect on where we have come from and strive to make Africa a continent that our descendants will be proud to come from.

International Women’s Day(IWD) is a day that’s taken out to celebrate women. Worldwide there are events to commemorate this special event.Although there has been some progress made there is more work to be done to ensure that women are empowered and treated equally.
This year I went to an event in Victoria Australia hosted by Africa Day Australia. The theme was DigitAll: “Innovation & technology for gender equality.”The two speakers Mayase Jere and Junie Baptiste-Poitevien inspired everyone when they shared their journey in the tech industry.
Once again, Happy International Women’s Day!
I started my Rotary journey 2020 and I’m glad I made a decision to join an organisation full of change-makers.
I love being a Rotarian, enabling me to make a meaningful difference in the world.Yesterday at the Rotary In Action Chirnside Cluster Event, it was inspiring to hear about various clubs’ projects.
Even our District Governor Dale Hoy took time from his busy schedule to grace the event.
