ALX Africa Global Women’s Month Event
Beyond the breakthrough: When one woman rises, communities rise
ALX Africa invites members of the media to attend its Women’s Month Virtual Event, bringing together inspiring voices from across the African continent as we highlight the journeys of women shaping Africa’s future through technology, entrepreneurship, and digital opportunity.
Hosted by Oyin-Johnson Awoniyi, Associate General Counsel at ALX Africa, the event will feature an opening from poetic provocateur Ashanti Kunene, founder of Learning to Unlearn.
We're excited to welcome keynote speaker Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, the CEO of the One Campaign. Ndidi has over 25 years of international development experience and has been deeply involved in fostering impactful solutions in the global social innovation landscape, with a focus on Africa.

A panel conversation will spotlight women from the ALX community who are transforming their learning journeys into real-world impact. Through their stories and insights, we will hear how African women are not only accessing opportunity but using their growth to create pathways for others.
