The Common Good: African Fashion Show 3-23-26

My guest today is Rukshana Triem, Founder of the African Fashion Show and the Firmina Foundation. Rukshana’s story of growing up in Africa would be fascinating on its own. But Rukshana has created an event, the African Fashion Show, that includes food, music, and dance that shines a spotlight on the expansive array of cultures across the vast continent of Africa.

For more information about the African Fashion Show on April 18th, 2026 you can visit africanfashionshowpdx.com where you can find links to buy tickets for the show, where the show is taking place, and links to the Firmina Foundation (https://firminafoundation.org/) to learn about their ongoing efforts to provide schooling in rural Africa.
