Morin Okenla founded Enrich Africa in 2014 to help women and their families become more empowered to succeed and be happy in all areas of life. Her vision is to host regular events - both online and face to face for women and their families, for children and young adults such as fun days, school workshops, competitions, awards, educational seminars, workshops. concerts, trips, camps, exhibitions, festivals, retreats and parties.
This idea started in 2003 when she launched New Era Magazine in a hall in Tooting Leisure Centre in south London. She realised that she could organise successful events for a cause that could change people's lives. The magazine became a source of inspiration and motivation for many people. Later, its name was changed to iShine Magazine. Through iShine many people who have been interviewed have gone on to become even more successful in their various fields.
A few years later, she started the 'Black and White Party' for teenagers. It was the first kind of private party ever in London for teens where a theme was chosen and guests paid to attend. It was a success and it still runs every year at Christmas time.
Then, she organised the Miss UK Beauty Pageant in 2008 and this too was a big success although a one off to raise money for charity. As an experienced teacher, entrepreneur and mother of four children, all these events have paved the way for Enrich Africa.
So, where would you be on Saturday 18 April? You must not miss this event. Come and be inspired! The Enrich Africa breakfast Meeting will be packed full of talented women who will share ideas and tips on how you can be equipped for a significant life.
The Enrich Society, the umbrella name for Enrich Africa, Enrich Caribbean and Enrich UK. Enrich is a charitable social enterprise organisation which was set up in 2014 for the socioeconomic empowerment of women, youth and children.
The Breakfast event for women is on Saturday 18 April, 2015 at the Bonnerville Centre, Poynders Road, Clapham South in London. The event will kick off at 9.30am prompt. According to one of the executive members of the society, Darren Gidado, this is an event for all women - mothers, single women, sisters, aunties, career women, stay at home mums and business women - children and dads are welcome too. The primary aim of the meeting is to empower women and their families.
The meeting will bring together some of UK's top female speakers and inspirational leaders such as, inspirational Health and Life Guru, Yetunde Odebiyi. popular Talk Show hostess, Shola Bademosi, the gifted and talented Psychology consultant, Dr Ranti Lawunmi, award winning Nollywood actress Queen Theodora Ibekwe-Oyebade and Fitness Instructor, Eunice Aduapiah. As indicated previously, it is rare for women to speak publicly but we have set the ball in motion and the stage is set for our second women's event. Get ready for more of such high profile social networking events that Enrich Africa is known for. We are coming off the internet and transforming lives face to face.
The women will share their life experiences, how they overcame barriers and success systems for women and their families.
