CEO of Afrocentric fashion brand, Hope By Kiki, Kiki Okewale disappointed not a few of her friends by turning down requests to stage an elaborate celebration to mark her 40th birthday.
Instead, the very stylish woman opted for a unique form of celebration by empowering 100 women at the upscale Celebration Garden, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.
Kiki hinted that her 40th birthday is a special moment to reflect on what God has done for her and also give back to society.
Popularly known by friends as ‘Queen of blings’, Kiki has her fingers in many pies which include public speaking, mentorship, life coaching, and women empowerment that had seen her spearheading several initiatives that have been applauded as a value-add to the growth and development of women.
According to her, the passion for empowerment and giving the womenfolk a platform to excel and contribute to their families and society is the reason she decided to use the occasion of her 40th birthday to put smiles on their faces through the empowerment event which was aptly tagged ‘Learn, Connect, Celebrate’.
100 women from different backgrounds and localities were selected and trained at no cost on physical hands-on rhinestones and were also lavishly feted by the celebrant. The event had volunteer trainers, donors, friends, families, and admirers present.
