restoring a continent and creating a one-Africa
"Join us at the Global Black Women Empowerment Summit 2025, where African and Black women unite to address today's critical issues and pave the way for a brighter future."
Restoring a continent and creating a one-Africa
This event will be full of ground-breaking, courageous, inspirational, and motivated women led by Africa's First Ladies.
African and Black women globally face entrenched barriers in creative economy, education, health, and technology, exacerbated by a disconnection between African and Black women in the diaspora. This gap undermines collective empowerment efforts, limiting access to quality education, healthcare disparities, underrepresentation in tech, and challenges in the creative economy. Addressing and redressing this disconnection is crucial for harnessing their full potential, fostering unity, and leveraging their collective strength for socio-economic development and global empowerment.
