​From neighborhood pop-up concerts to the formal stage, the Liberian Women’s Chorus for Change has been inspiring dialogue and action regarding domestic violence and other Liberian immigrant community concerns for the past two years.

Composed of a core group of renowned singers and dancers from Liberia: Fatu Gayflor, Marie Nyenabo, Zaye Tete, and Tokay Tomah, these women have joined together to create music intended to name and lament the injustice of domestic violence, to encourage women to make their voices heard, and to pave possible ways forward.

These award-winning singers bring their unique take on traditional and contemporary Liberian songs to World Café Live, for one night only.​
