SHIMEI Star Influential Awards celebrates trailblazers in gender equality and empowerment
The inaugural IWD Include Conference hosted the maiden SHIMEI Star Influential Awards, powered by @shimeisolutions, recognizing individuals and organizations championing gender equality and women’s empowerment.
With over 19 years of experience in customer relations, training, and life coaching, Samantha Wuta-Ofei (LadySam) has been at the forefront of empowering professional women. Six years ago, she launched a platform that has since provided women with opportunities to lead, inspire, and create impact through empowerment conferences.
