International Women's Day is held each year on March 8th to celebrate and encourage the achievements of women around the world.

It's a time for women of all ages to inspire--and be inspired--and here in Fort Wayne, festivities include a day of interactive artistic performances hosted by Creative Women of the World.

WBOI's Julia Meek invited two of these performers, Lauren Tourkow and Hope Arthur, to the Madge Rothschild Studios to discuss their own accomplishments, and the inspirations that have shaped their lives.
