Motherhood In-Style to empower women entrepreneurs

In a bid to boost women empowerment in the fast changing world of work, Motherhood In- Style Magazine, a Nigeria’s family magazine, is set to hold its first small and medium scale enterprises (SME) fair and conference tagged, ‘Mums in Business’, which is targeted at empowering women across Nigeria.
“Mums in business fair and conference is an opportunity for Nigerian mothers to learn, exhibit, sell, network and shop,” said Pauline Rumm, founder and CEO, Motherhood In-Style Magazine.
Rumm said the conference would play a pivotal role in giving mothers and women an opportunity to come together, network, and learn about socio-economic trends that improve their lives.
“In our determination to put the issue of women on the top agenda and demonstrate commitment from the gainfully employed banker running her own jewellery line as a side gig, the teacher who extracts and packages coconut oil, to the personal assistant doubling as an event planner at weekends, the Nigerian mum now sees entrepreneurship as an activity relevant to her and within her grasp”, she said.
“The Mums-In-Business Fair is creating that platform where we can interact, learn from each other, showcase our work and also get to sell,” she added.
The two-day event will take place at King’s College Annex, on Saturday, 11th and 12th of November 2017.

The upcoming event will play host to all women, including expectant mothers and young female adults, who desire to effectively manage motherhood, family and business.

Expected speakers at the conference include: Adenike Ogunlesi, founder and CEO, Ruff ‘n’ Tumble; Tara Fela-Durotoye, founder and CEO, House of Tara International; Uche Jombo, actress; Abimbola Balogun, CEO, So Fresh Neighborhood Market, and more.

The conference will be an ultimate family affair packed with series of activities, such as a Kids Play-Zone with caregivers, a father’s corner and lounge area, large exhibition with over 200 brands and more.
