Annie and Friends on African Safari

Looking forward to a great time in Tanzania!
We’re going to the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Zanzibar, and some of us are Climbing KILIMANJARO! As an added bonus, we’re participating in a mini-symposium with the students of Mama Clementina Foundation. We’re sharing our expertise on how we got to our careers, and we’re highlighting our best accomplishments.
