The YWCA Darien/Norwalk is seeking nominations for women who epitomize leadership in the areas of racial equity, social justice and have worked to strengthen the local community during the coronavirus pandemic for their 12th annual Women of Distinction Awards.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the YWCA, a nonprofit organization, was unable to hold last year’s Women of Distinction Award Ceremony to formally honor the six women selected.
During the 2021 event, the YWCA will honor those six women and one young woman of distinction. The event will be held in early June, and will be an in-person event with a livestream.

KAROI- COVID 19 pandemic has brought untold suffering to many, with women vendors paying the price to keep food on the table for their families.
In Karoi farming town, Ratidzai Mutero (39) is a breadwinner who carried a double edged sword on her shoulders after Government imposed restrictions under national COVID 19 last year.
Mutero went through the daily ritual of facing arrests and beatings from state security agencies.
She moved around with a satchel behind her back selling sweets, chocolates, boiled eggs among other items.

It’s time for affordable homes in Washington State
PHOTO COURTESY OF JOSH FIELDS | Home prices are rising in WA.
Newly constructed or nice family homes in Washington state can cost anywhere from 600,000 to 1 million. How can it be addressed that this is just too expensive?
When looking for homes, apartments or townhouses to rent or buy in Washington state, especially near the coast, the prices are exorbitant.
If you want a nice or newly built family home near the Bellevue, Issaquah or Kirkland area, it will be very hard to find anything below $600,000.
As we look at the beautiful cities of Bellevue and Seattle, they are convenient places to live due to their close proximity to companies such as Microsoft and various business buildings along with the locality of restaurants and shopping centers. Because of this, many homes are built in the area.
