A FUTURE WE ALL CAN SHARE!
In the vibrant community of Houston in 1993, a remarkable group of nine women: Princess Veronica Obomese, Ms. Yinka Ekoh, Mrs. Mercy Okokhere, Mrs. Sarah Irabor, Mrs. Esther Iredia, Mrs. Gloria Onofua, Mrs. Georgina Obiyan, and the late Mrs. Helen Ijewere and Mrs. Josephine Anetor came together to deliberate on issues concerning Esan Women in Houston.
