Thankfully March is chock full of markers and celebrations to keep the days from blending together. On March 8th, I’ll be celebrating my 24th wedding anniversary along with International Woman’s Day. The Afghan Nowroz (New Year) celebration is on March 22nd, and my husband’s birthday (age not be disclosed) is on March 29th.

March is also Women’s History Month in the United States, an annual celebration highlighting the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.

In keeping with the spirit of Women’s History Month, starting tomorrow, March 2nd, I will highlight and uplift an Afghan woman who is a public figure or an unsung hero on my Afghan Culture Unveiled Facebook page.
