INTERVIEW

Featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio is LadyFestGR – a celebration of women in the local community, through workshops and a diverse array of entertainment, all taking place in the Heartside Neightborhood on Saturday, March 22.  This marks the third LadyFestGR – this one in support of the nonprofit The Red Project – working to improve health, reduce risk and prevent HIV by providing people with access to the knowledge, tools, information and support that they need to stay healthy.

We focus in this show on the educational workshops in large part, but also feature the entertainment portion of this year’s event.

Joining us in studio are Sarah Scott and Nicole Leach, committee members of LadyFestGR.
