Two Olympic-champion fencers, Laura Flessel-France and Nzingha Prescod-USA, will talk about how they turned their success on the Olympic stage into a lifelong commitment to helping women and others play more sports and keep up with the Olympic spirit. They will be joined by Pascale Remy, who runs Sport dans la Ville, an organization that helps underprivileged youth through sports.

Do not miss our annual Concert de la Francophonie, which will be celebrating the rich diversity of the Francophone diaspora and the French language. This year, we are excited to bring to the stage some very special artists:
Nkumu Katalay is an artist and multi-instrumentalist from Kinshasa, who now lives in New York. His work aims to highlight the contributions of Congolese culture to modern world history.
Sweet Crude is an indie pop and rock band formed in 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana by singer Alexis Marceau. The band released their debut album, Créatures, early in 2017. The lyrics of their songs combine English and Louisiana French, a dialect spoken by members of singer Alexis Marceau's family.
