The other side of the room. As an exercise, we posted a message to the AfriGeneas Main Forum at the beginning of the workshop and checked back at the end of the session. Yolanda Mitchell-Sheets had responded to our post within 20 minutes, demonstrating the power of the AfriGeneas forums better than my words ever could.
