SALT LAKE CITY — Friday marked International Women's Day, a holiday celebrating the social, economic and cultural achievements of women every year on March 8.
"I felt like it was just a great way to bridge those divides between communities and to recognize that we all come from international women and this is an event that you can honor your ancestors, remember where you came from," said Susi Feltch-Malohifo'ou, the Chief Community Engagement and Development Officer at Pacific Island Knowledge to Action Resources .
Kathleya Gracida is the Chairwoman for the Community Alliance of Filipino Americans of Utah. Her group also set up shop for the event on Friday. Along with CAFA Vice Chairwoman Aileen Rizzuto and CAFA Treasurer Jeannette Stelmach, they also hoped to showcase their culture through food. While many people left Friday's event with full tummies from all of the great food, the hope is that they also came away with plenty of knowledge as well.
