The women had the opportunity to speak on their experiences building successful careers and thriving on the home front. They spoke on their challenges, successes and lessons learnt over the years and emphasized the need to not just inspire and mentor the next generation of women but also to empower each other with a strong commitment to community.
HER Power Brunch was not just another meeting; it marked the beginning of a mentorship community for young girls, aligning with The Pride’s mission to empower future female leaders. As well as create a community of high-achieving women to be able to lean on one another.
Mrs. Jennifer Okeke-Ojiudu, the Host and Lead of The Pride Initiative, remarked, “As women, we need to know there are no limits to what we can achieve but it’s essential that we come together as one to shatter glass ceilings not just for ourselves but also to inspire, guide and empower the next generation of women, serving as a guiding light for each of them”
The event proudly sponsored by Winston Leather, Uncover Skin Care, and Stevechuks Photography was brought to an end with opportunities for the women to interact and connect giving room to forming stronger relationships. HER Power Brunch will be held quarterly, providing ongoing support and empowerment for women leaders and young girls.
