In celebration of the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2011, the African Diaspora Professional Women in Europe (ADIPWE), recognized 20 Inspirational Women from African Diaspora in Europe.  These women reflect the diversity of Diaspora women and show how well they have infiltrated all sectors of industry: they are engineers, scientists, inventors, bankers, doctors, artists, media personalities, writers, speakers, bankers, politicians and entrepreneurs.  They are are inspiring people in their home countries and in their continent of origin, as mentioned in their profiles. They have physically left the continent but remain emotionally attached. They are conscious of their responsibility towards the development of Africa and are committed to transform the ‘brain drain’ into a ‘brain gain’.
