Theme: The Power Inside.. Make a Difference

This event occurred on
December 14, 2019
Yaoundé, Centre
Cameroon

Everyone has an inner power.
An ability to do extraordinary things.
A natural and innate talent.
Some can discover it and use it every day.
Others are aware that there is something special about them but they do not dare to explore it and bring it out.
The last category is those who are completely unaware of its existence and live all their lives, in an ordinary way, without realizing that there is a talent/aptitude in them. We want, through this conference, to share ideas to identify and develop powers inside women.
The audience will have the opportunity to experience strong, motivating and inspiring moments through the ideas that will be shared by visionaries who have exploited their potential.
