The second edition of the ‘What Women Want’ (WWW) Summit in Nairobi was a resounding success, attracting over 3000 women from diverse backgrounds, both locally and internationally. Held from March 22 to March 24, the event served as a powerful platform for empowerment, bringing women together for a journey of learning, sharing, and networking.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Nairobi’s cityscape, the summit provided a space where women from all walks of life could come together to explore, discuss, and strategize on issues crucial to their advancement. From entrepreneurs to corporate leaders, educators to activists, every participant’s voice was valued, united in the common goal of achieving gender equality and empowerment.
The keynote address was delivered by Juanita Mramba, EABL Head of Sustainability, who underscored the importance of empowering women in all aspects of life. She emphasized that empowering women is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic one. Through initiatives like the #SheWalks platform, Mramba highlighted the untapped potential that can be unlocked by investing in women’s empowerment, leading to inclusivity, economic growth, and a more just and prosperous society for all.
The #SheWalks platform, in collaboration with the inaugural WWW Summit in 2023, aimed to promote inclusion and provide opportunities for women to learn and grow through networking, aligning with Johnnie Walker’s mission to inspire bold, progressive steps. Organized by Pink Media, the WWW Summit brought together a diverse group of supporters, focusing on women’s empowerment through workshops, panel discussions, and networking events covering essential topics such as leadership, entrepreneurship, career advancement, self-care, and achieving work-life balance.
Pinky Ghelani, Founder of Pink Media and host of the WWW Summit, expressed the goal of creating a dynamic platform where women from all backgrounds could come together, share their experiences, and empower each other to reach new heights. By the end of the summit, attendees left feeling inspired, empowered, and equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to take the next step towards achieving their goals. The summit coincided with International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8th, and is an annual event held in March.
