Tina Brown and Chouchou

Yesterday, Diane hosted a luncheon for Vital Voices to honor Chouchou Namegabe, a recent Global Leadership Award Honoree. The event attracted Vital Voices supporters like Tina Brown, as well as others who were interested in learning more about the organization like Leslie Jane Seymour, Wendi Murdoch, Fabiola Beracasa and Robin Roberts. Chouchou, a self-trained journalist has dedicated her life to helping women of rape and abuse find their voice by recording their stories and broadcasting them across the Democratic Republic of Congo. Chouchou spoke about the terrible attrocities that have been committed against women in her country, but encouraged people not to feel sorry for them but to rather join in the fight and support organizations like Vital Voices who are raising awareness about these issues and providing support.
