Kiki Okewale is one of the leading fashion entrepreneurs in Nigeria. Kiki, the talented force behind Lagos-based Couture, House of Plush Exclusive (HOPE) Fashion with distinctive collections, has carved for herself, an enviable niche in the hub of high fashion. As the first Nigerian designer to be on the Dubai Runway with her immeasurable depth of creativity and bespoke designs, her influence cannot be overemphasised. This has elevated Kiki into an exclusive community of female high achievers in Nigeria.
As a life purpose coach, Kiki —married to equally influential and renowned gynaecologist and fertility expert, Dr. Babatunde Okewale— also loves to help individuals, particularly women, get the best out of their lives with well defined purpose and an overall well-being. She has held many training sessions and seminars to achieve this. But recently, Kiki took her interventions a step higher when she led a community of female high achievers to host a women empowerment virtual conference to inspire growth and self-worth amongst women. The virtual conference held under the auspices of Women High Achievers Trybe (WHATrybe) with the theme “Emerging and Evolving into a High-Value Woman” had over 1000 female participants drawn from all walks of life and who were eager to learn, grow and connect with other like-minds.
The event had as esteemed speakers some of Nigeria’s highly respected and accomplished women in their respective fields including Dr. Naomi Osemedua, Abimbola Balogun, Eno Sam, Toyin Aralepo, Nkechi Alade, and the convener, Kiki. They shared their experiences, insights, and advice on how to emerge and evolve into a high-value woman, emphasising the importance of self-worth, self-care, self-awareness, and self-development. In her remarks, Kiki —who is the Co-founder, Women Radio 91.7FM and Convener of the WHATrybe— noted that the virtual event was designed to inspire, educate, and empower women to take control of their lives and reach their full potential.
She added that the main goal of the WHATrybe conference was to create a platform for women to come together and learn from one another, and be impacted by other women winning in their various industries.
