Our Founder

Hon. Stella Erhuvwuoghene Okotete

FCE, PFD, OON

I am thrilled to welcome you to "I AM" CONFERENCE a groundbreaking endeavor inspired by my lifelong dedication to women's empowerment. The I Am Conference is my 40th birthday pet project that is expected to engage young female students across universities in Nigeria and Africa through life changing seminars, mentorship programs, skill acquisition, financial literacy workshops, guidance counselling sessions and life transforming fireside chat. My passion for advocating for women's rights and standing up for empowerment of women in every facet of life has given birth to this initiative.
My journey has been fueled by a profound belief in the transformative power of empowering women mentally, financially, politically, digitally and spiritually. It is this belief that has driven me to establish this conference as a platform for women across Nigeria and Africa to come together, share experiences, learn and grow.
My vision is to create a platform where women can find strength, support, and inspiration to pursue their dreams and aspirations. I envision a future where every woman is empowered to reach her full potential and make meaningful contributions to society. 
I invite you to join me in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future for women in Africa.
