The stage is set for a groundbreaking event as the inaugural UpYou Women Conference is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 26th August 2023, at the prestigious Victoria Hall, Ebony Life Place, Victoria Island, Lagos. Organised under the banner of the ‘UpYouwithEzinne’ radio show, this one-day symposium is poised to empower and uplift women, unveiling pathways towards self-discovery and personal growth.
Themed “Building Bridges from within,” the conference seeks to equip today’s women with the tools to stride purposefully towards their aspirations, transitioning from the realm of ‘What to do’ to ‘How to do.’ Ezinne Kufre-Ekanem, the visionary behind the event and Conference Convener, shared her enthusiasm, “We have specially curated an amazing faculty of speakers and panellists to enable today’s woman to live sustainably in purpose by bridging the gap from ‘What to do’ to ‘How to do.'”
Leading the distinguished line-up of speakers is none other than Julia Oku-Jacks, a revered brand icon and thought leader. As the Founder and Lead Consultant of Julia Jacks Consulting, she’s poised to deliver the highly anticipated keynote address. The roster further boasts influential figures like Ambassador Nimi Akinkugbe, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Greece; Bimbo Oloyede, CEO of Strictly Speaking Academy; Fadekemi Olumide-Aluko, a Creative Entrepreneur; Dr. Irene Titilola Olumese, an Inspirational Speaker and Founder of the Feet of Grace Foundation; and Isoken Patricia Nwabunka, Executive Director of Grooming Foundation.
Ezinne Kufre-Ekanem, also known as a Women empowerment Cheerleader extraordinaire, emphasised the conference’s purpose, stating, “If you need a lift and a bridge to move you from where you are to the next level of your purpose, then this is the conference for you!” The event’s agenda extends beyond speeches and addresses, featuring an illustrious panel discussion expertly moderated by Fabia Fabyan-Ogunmekan, the Principal Consultant at ADABA Initiative. This panel will delve deep into topics of paramount concern to women, facilitating a dialogue aimed at bridging gaps and nurturing personal growth.
