I was delighted to receive a special invitation and participate in the Unveiling of “The Godmothers; Mentorship Series,” a joint initiative of the Gender Strategy Advancement International and She Forum Africa, alongside eminent multi-sectoral women leaders such as Dr Amina Aminu Dorayi, Ene Obi, Former Senator Biodun Olujimi, and Dr Peju Adenusi, and upcoming young women, introduced to nurture co-leadership skills and strengthen emerging voices that can further shape the narrative around women’s inclusion, particularly, in the build-up to the next election cycle.

Inspired by the vision of consciously and intentionally establishing safe learning and sharing space to build intergenerational trust and foster co-leadership, this refreshing platform envisages inspiring accountability and self-leadership for women now and women of the future.

I was pleased to support and share my experiences in building more women’s confidence to enter the political space as a result of safe spaces which empower and engender regardless of background or political affiliations.

By capturing critical conversations and enabling them to evolve as community-owned, community-driven activations of emerging voices, I applaud the inaugural meeting, and congratulate my dear and very senior mentee Inimfon Etuk, her co-creator Adaora, and the entire She Forum Africa and Gender Strategy Advancement International team!
