African Women Connect (AWC) hosted a community summit at the Center for Families in north Minneapolis on September 26. AWC is an organization started in 2004 by Liberian native Rita Apaloo. Their mission is to assist African women immigrants with adjusting to living in the United States.

The focus of the summit was to provide a forum where African immigrant women can learn about the experiences of others who have been able to successfully make the transition.
