As part of activities commemorating 2024 International Women’s Day, 7gongs, an Africa-focused public relations and strategic communications consultancy, held a personal development workshop at Holy Child College (HCC), Ikoyi, to equip students with skills that will improve their chances of success in life.
The workshop, titled Shaping Brand You, seeks to provide adolescent girls with the information and assistance they need to navigate the vital but often confusing teenage years and grow into competent adults.
Speaking at the workshop, Nedum Omafodezi, Chief Operating Officer of 7gongs, said, “Shaping Brand You is a 7gongs CSR initiative aimed at inspiring young girls for success. It feeds into the wider global efforts for women’s empowerment by providing the upcoming generation of women with the tools they need for both self- and group agency so they can confidently launch out and pursue their aspirations.
“The 2024 IWD theme: #InspireInclusion, provided us with an excellent launch platform as we consider teenage girls a key demography within the community of women. The teenage years is a transitory phase typically characterized by a lot of confusion regarding self-identity and social roles as girls make the shift from childhood to young adulthood.
“We are optimistic that the learning gained from these workshops will help the participants in understanding and successfully navigating this phase of life and set them on the right path to actualizing their ambitions as well as becoming effective members of society.”
