ACSF IN THE PRESS

FlyAway Productions, August 2008
Mestranda Márcia is granted a 10 Women Award
For 2009, the focus is on women who are “Bridge-Builders” - women whose work brings together disparate communities. Jo Kreiter, Artistic Director of Flyaway Productions, writes "I have long admired your work as an artist, athlete and cultural worker. In recent years I have admired the growth and generosity of your work in the Mission. You are truly a builder of essential connections at this moment in history."
