Today, in some parts of the world, this is the last day of Women's Month.

At the Africa Pavilion , we didn't know whether Dan Toast had toast with champagne or think about what has been done so far in terms of supporting women in the film, television, content, fashion and entertainment.

In the end, we decided to take a look at the Africa Pavilion VIP guest list. WOW.

Join us in applauding the work of these amazing and talented innovators. Hats off, ladies!
