The Ibukun Awosika Leadership Academy has once again collaborated with Dubai Tourism to host the International Woman Leadership Conference (TIWLC), bringing together over five hundred African women worldwide. The conference, held in Women’s History Month from March 29-31, 2023, offered a platform for learning, growth, and entertainment.
Anchored by broadcaster and media personality Ayo Mairo Ese, the three-day conference was held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Festival City, Dubai, with support from the city’s Economy and Tourism Centre. The conference featured diverse speakers from across the globe, including prominent figures from the pan-African community.
With the theme “Against All Odds,” the conference covered a wide range of topics through various sessions, including keynote speeches, panel discussions, and deep-dive sessions. The event allowed African women to network, learn, and empower one another.
After goodwill messages from the wife of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E Dolapo Osinbajo, and the 2nd Lady of the Republic of Ghana, H.E Samira Bawumia, Nigerian entrepreneur, author and convener of the conference, Ibukun Awosika set the tone for the meeting with her opening speech, during which she charged attendees to take responsibility for their lives.
“The one thing you must never hand over to anyone is the remote control of your life. Have the right panel over your life and have the grace to receive criticism from this committee you have chosen,” she said.
This was followed by the first two keynotes delivered by the Director of Vigeo Power, Funke Osibodu and the Executive Chairperson of Kalagadi Manganese, Daphne Mashile-Nkosi, who further explored the topics: “Against All Odds, A Corporate Mindset” and “Against All Odds – A Changemaker’s Mindset” respectively.
