Founded in response to the death of the founder’s husband at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic to serve marginalised African women, The “Every Emotion is Valid” seminar began on February 13, 2022 and has since been held as a monthly virtual seminar for marginalised women and African widows to provide a safe space for expressing their emotions and learning about healthy outlets to express their feelings without guilt or pressure, as well as to advocate against the injustices faced by African Widows.

Themed, #Embraceequity: An Emotional Wellness Approach, in Line With International Women’s Day 2023 Theme – #Embraceequity, the seminar aims to celebrate women’s achievements and raise awareness about discrimination experienced by marginalised women while attempting to drive gender equality.
