This year, the Estrogenius Festival will launch an exciting new program: Voices of Africa (VOA), a collaboration with Peace Corps Niger. Ginger O'Neill, a former EstroGenius volunteer, is currently serving a two-year appointment in Birni N'Gaoure, Niger about two hours from the country's capital, Niamey.
She teaches songwriting as well as reading and writing to girls in her village.
She has encouraged them to express themselves through music, poetry and monologues, which she has translated into English.These pieces will be performed by NYC teenage girls as part of the EstroGenius Festival this fall. The money raised from these performances will benefit the Peace Corps Partnership Program.

Atonia Pettiford directs a company that includes Jane Cantuna, Mark Christopher, Mikala Duke, Danielle Falls, Marc Gauthier, Hollie Graze, Louise Harris, Christopher Holland, Chesevah King, Ariel Miles, Ernestine Njieha, John Reese, Mariela Reyes, Bernice Rogers, Atalya Slater, Angelina Stokes, Kyle Williams, and Mayra Zarate.
