“Our goal with this meeting is to create a platform that will enable women from different professions and diverse backgrounds, to discuss, share experiences, encourage, support and push each other to overcome barriers and limitations, discover our potential, see the endless and limitless possibilities of life and inspire one another to achieve fulfillment in their chosen endeavors,” Mbanugo said.
She also noted that there are fundamental things to give to get resources because they can’t get to you as a woman.
“There are a lot of stereotypes about how you want to be, do something and you will slowly move away from the obstacles and break the ceilings. For single or married there is a stereotype you have to go through as a woman hence you should realize you are there so when you face them you have the right armor to break through.
Fatimat Lawal-Ademo, the assistant category, and brand manager at Mamador thanked women for the contributions they make in the society and hopes that they are motivated to explore their flavor and find fulfillment in their chosen endeavors.
