Woman Rising 2016, an initiative of The Life House curated by Ugoma Adegoke, chose to emphasise the importance of women empowering one another while recognising the unique predicament as evidenced by threatening economic, moral and social dissipation in the country.
The Life House resolutely chose to actively connect with & celebrate the creative, deep cultural energy and sense of heritage that lies in each and every Nigerian and in particular the Nigerian woman.
The event kicked off with a private Champagne Brunch on Saturday, March 19, 2016, at the Wheatbaker Ikoyi, Lagos with the grand finale of the event held the next day, Sunday, March 20th, 2016 at the Marquee in Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.
