On a personal note: I am still celebrating last week’s phenomenal gathering of women, for which we are now referring to ourselves as Vero’s Creative Coven. To celebrate the birthday and New York visit of Zulu Film Commissioner Noxy Mavundla, filmmaker Véronique Doumbé hosted few of my industry sisters and new friends I encountered to meet Noxy and break bread on this special evening. Over a delectable meal, the friendships were instant and the wine was plentiful. We laughed and consoled as women who share a passion for the arts, feminism and progressive thinking. A toast to finding your kindred spirits while on your personal journey we know as life.
