The African Women Achievers Award is an opportunity for African Women in the UK to be acknowledged; particularly those who have had to overcome adversities such as language barriers, cultural differences, financial constraints, social disadvantages or skills gaps to be positive role models in their communities. It also dispels the myth that the majority of African women are underachievers and living on benefits by reflecting the wealth of talent amongst these women, most of which goes unrecognised.  To nominate or for details call Karyne Tazi on 078 469 22423, e-mail mailto:africanwomen@hotmail.co.uk or visit http://www.awos.org.uk
