She Triumph Conference 2024: The Omanye Royal Kingdom seed fund sponsorship
The second edition of the SHE TRIUMPH Conference, held on September 28 at the prestigious Adae Kese Hall of La-Palm Royal Beach Hotel, was an extraordinary celebration of resilience and determination among today’s women.
Building on the success of its inaugural event, this year’s conference brought together inspiring speakers, dedicated participants, and a community united in the mission to empower women.
Hosted by the esteemed Mrs. Deborah Borketey-Tackie, affectionately known as DebbyQueen.
The conference featured a remarkable lineup of speakers who shared their invaluable insights under the theme: “The Resilience and Determination of Womanhood.” Attendees were treated to empowering sessions that celebrated the achievements of women and fostered discussions on overcoming challenges.
A highlight of the conference was the Creative Woman Hub initiative, which was launched last year to equip women with essential skills. We are thrilled to announce that our graduates have excelled in their respective fields, thanks to the unwavering support of our dedicated sponsors.
In a competitive business pitch, (Akorfa Lawson) emerged as the winner, receiving a seed fund of GH₵10,000 to kick-start her business. The first runner-up was awarded GH₵5,000, along with vital equipment from the Omanye Royal Executives to aid her business setup, while the second runner-up received essential materials to support her entrepreneurial journey.
The conference also witnessed the unveiling of the Triumph Women Awards which seeks to honor women who are making impact in society and helping shape and transform lives in various sectors in the country.
As part of the initiative, 10 outstanding women received the noble award in different categories. The organisers of this award will roll out a road map for nomination in 2025 during the third edition of the She Triumph Conference.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, including HM Life Mixture, and our cherished brands such as Frytol & Alife Soap, Bel Aqua & Bel Beverages, La-Palm Royal Beach Hotel, and many more. Their generous support played a crucial role in making the conference a resounding success. Special recognition goes to Dr. Emmanuel Bortey Borketey, CEO of HM Life Mixture, for his commitment to empowering women and driving positive change in society,” the organisers added.
The conference featured distinguished speakers, including Rev. Mrs. Josephine Pearl Fosu-Kwakye, who inspired attendees with her profound insights. Keynote speakers such as Ms. Doris Kwekwor Adjei, Ms. Adiza Ibrahim, Ms. Nancy Assor Asiedu-Amrado, and Ms. Gifty Boatemaa Annan shared their experiences, leaving attendees enlightened and motivated.
“We were honored to welcome Her Royal Majesty Queen Vickylextar, representing the Omanye Royal Kingdom as our special guest of honor and her entourage who came all the way from Canada. During the event, Queen Vickylextar knighted Mrs. Deborah Borketey-Tackie with the title “Lady Deborah,” in recognition of her exceptional contributions, with the support of the Omanye Royal Executive Council,” they added.
Attendees were also treated to numerous surprises and giveaways, generously sponsored by Homeland Ghana through the support of Mrs. Adiza Ibrahim.
The SHE Triumph Conference 2024 was not just an event; it was a movement towards greater gender equality and empowerment.
Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.
