DASA Voices – September 2021

The DASA Women’s Caucus hosted a Women’s Month conversation with Barbara Ludman, Mary Tomlinson and Eve Thompson about their experiences living in South Africa in the 70s, 80s and 90s. In the months ahead we hope to be creative in finding ways for DASA members to get to know each other, build community, and share both perspectives and experiences as Americans living in South Africa.

Eve Thompson was involved in South Africa as an Anti-Apartheid Lawyer and now, after living in DR Congo, Jordan and other parts of the world, lives in South Africa again, in Knysna, with her family.

She told her story through highlighting the impact of several amazing women – their impact on her own life and on the country. As we don’t have clips from the session to share more widely, we asked her to share an excerpt from her notes from that day.
