Ifeoma Esonwune, our Visionary Founder, Event Host, and Lead Event Planner, is the driving force behind the WEGA Summit 2024.

Ruth Thomas - Monitoring and Evaluation: Ruth Thomas brings her research and evaluation expertise to the WEGA Summit team, ensuring our initiatives are impactful and measurable.

When asked what excites her most about the upcoming summit and why it should excite potential attendees? She said, "The WEGA summit promises an experience where women and allies would have a broader discussion and viable strategy toward gender equality and female gender advancement. This is exciting for me because it shows that gender conversations are being taken seriously now more than ever and that the Star Women's Network is a trailblazer in this regard to have a more inclusive society where the values and skills of women are given equal importance as their male counterparts. Others should also be excited about this because it shows that this generation of women is ready to move gender equality and advocacy further than where it is in North America, which is a great achievement and a ray of hope for the younger generation."
Theresa Ifeonu - Marketing & Communication: Theresa Ifeonu is our dedicated advocate for amplifying the message of gender equality and empowerment through marketing and communication.

She has this to say about the upcoming summit, "Women empowerment and gender advocacy are crucial issues that need attention and action. I joined the planning team because I am passionate about gender equality and believe in the power of collective action to bring about positive change towards inclusivity and diversity. The opportunity to be part of a dedicated group focused on advancing gender equality and empowering women is incredibly inspiring to me. I am motivated by the chance to contribute my skills and passion to create a platform where impactful discussions can occur, strategies can be developed, and meaningful connections can be made.

In her own words, "The excitement lies in knowing that whenever women talk, they know what they want and mean. So, the WEGA Summit is a time to leverage relationships and meet highly revered people. The United Nations's Sustainable Development Goal 5 speaks to achieving gender equality and empowering ALL women and girls. So, women coming together to discuss issues abating, subverting and undermining this goal is one big contribution towards actualizing that objective."
