COLUMBUS (WCMH) A local festival highlighting the talents and careers of women in our community will hold its fourth annual event this weekend, called the Columbus Women and Girls Fest.
“Women and girls are very fundamental beings in society, and we need more than just Women’s History Month,” said Dr. Elaine Richardson, organizer of the Columbus Women and Girls Fest.
Four years ago, Richardson said she felt inspired to start a movement, to bring awareness to women’s achievements here in Columbus.
“I think, you know, there’s not enough platforms in Columbus for women,” she said.
