THE SISTERS BEHIND AN The Sisters Behind THE SISTERS BEHIND AN If I simply was trying to create another black award show, albeit only for women, then the question ‘why launch Canada International Black Women Event?’ seems reasonable. But I was focused on a very different set of parameters in creating this experience.
Ed. Note: Rose Cathy Handy is a woman who brings a calm, soft spoken presence to a meeting, and a pleasant face that always seems ready to break out into a smile. Hardly the persona of a woman determined to bring attention to the achievements of Canadian black women at home and abroad, from everyday to groundbreaking. She, however, is one half of a unique sisterly bond, one that goes beyond the grave. They are the reason that, elsewhere in this issue, the Publisher of SMJ Magazine is the subject of a story on being one of the one hundred Canadian black women to watch at the inaugural Canada International Black Women Event.
