What better day to congratulate our local small businesses of the month than International Women's Day: The Amani Women Center and Merhaba Sharwarma Restaurant. 

When we asked these two extraordinary business owners how much receiving this recognition means to them especially on this day, Doris Mukangu, President & CEO of Amani Women Center replied.  "Being an immigrant woman who works in a diverse community who is trying to make a difference in this community, it means the world to me to receive this award.  This award represents not only myself but all the diverse women who are a part of my organization. I love being a part of a city who welcomes diverse people from all parts of the world",

The Amani Women Center provides culturally tailored programs and services that empower and contribute to the economic security, and spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of refugee and immigrant women. It is located at 3777 Church St. Clarkston, GA.

Manna Samuel, owner of Merhaba Shawarma also shared why she feels this recognition is so special to her on this day. "I am blessed to be a woman in charge. To be able to represent all the hard working women from all over the world, especially the Eritrea women soldiers who fought side by side with the men to free my country, by choice. I represent them and every woman in the world with this award."

Merhaba Shawarma is a local Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant that provides delicious food and a unique experience with every visit. It is located on 4188 E. Ponce Ave. Clarkston, GA. Congratulations to these well-deserving women in business and all the women across the world today. Happy International Women's Day! Amani Women Center Manna Samuel
