The highly anticipated Live With Latasha Women’s Event was successfully held on Wednesday 18th March at the prestigious Civic Centre, bringing together over 200 women for an evening of empowerment, connection, and transformative dialogue.

Broadcast live on Pop Central via the DStv platform, the event reached an even wider audience beyond the venue, amplifying its message of inspiration and inclusivity.

The event featured four dynamic panel sessions that addressed critical themes affecting women today, leaving attendees inspired and equipped with practical insights.

The event opened with the “He for She” conversation led by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who shared powerful perspectives on the role of men in supporting, advocating for, and advancing gender equality.

The second panel, “Breaking the Money Ceiling,” featured industry leaders Funke Bucknor and Kikelomo Atanda, who delivered insightful discussions on financial independence, wealth creation, and navigating career growth as women.

“The Confidence Gap,” featured Patricia Obozuwa alongside Big Brother Naija Personality and Guinness World Record Holder, Tacha, where they explored the realities of self doubt and shared practical strategies for building confidence in professional spaces. Their session offered powerful insights on overcoming internal barriers and showing up boldly in the workplace and beyond.

Music and expression took center stage during the final conversation; “The Power of Her Voice,” with renowned artist Waje and media personality Ella, who spoke passionately about self expression, finding one’s voice, and using influence to inspire change.

Guests were treated to delicious food from The Colombian Grill, Bina Lagos and The Chef Tucker and live music by Freeborn and saxophonist Abisola and powerful spoken word from Miss Wana Wana.

Another highlight of the event was a surprise gifts reveal when guests were asked to look underneath their seats for a special item. Taped under each chair were silk scarves by designer brand, Ade by Femi.

The success of the event was made possible through the generous support of its major sponsors, including but not limited to The Glenlivet, Black Bell, Furtullah, Century Group, CedarRush, SNL Services Limited, Kavitah, Auroe, Elle’s Ice Box, The Red Carpet Company, Matma Foods, and OneTwelve Fruities, whose contributions helped bring the vision of the event to life.

Beyond the panels, the event created a vibrant and engaging atmosphere filled with networking opportunities, brand interactions, and shared experiences that fostered a strong sense of community among attendees.

Speaking after the event, Latasha expressed her appreciation:

“This platform continues to thrive because of the remarkable women and allies who show up with open minds, ready to learn, share, and uplift one another. The conversations we’ve shared here today have raised the bar, and we are committed to making every future dialogue even more impactful, transformative, and far-reaching.”

The success of the Live With Latasha Women’s Event reinforces its position as a leading platform dedicated to amplifying women’s voices, promoting empowerment, and driving meaningful conversations across Nigeria and beyond.

Plans are already underway for future conversations on the Live With Latasha platform which seeks to discuss issues affecting not just women but every Nigerian in the country and in diaspora.
