An event aimed at helping women to realise their potential, restore their destinies and inspire them to use their potential is being held in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, October 20.
Phalo Iqhawe, supported by the Mandela Bay Development Agency, is presenting Destiny Restored at the Athenaeum in Athol Fugard (formerly Belmont) Terrace.
Phalo Iqhawe founder Nolufefe Norawuzana said a panel of five speakers would address the empowerment and business seminar.
“This will be an uplifting session for women to identify their main purpose in life and be motivated to take strides toward realising that purpose,” Norawuzana said.
She said the aim of the seminar was to motivate women to dream and find their “true purpose” in life.
“Women need to understand their true purpose, so often women have dreams about different aspects of their lives, however, because of circumstances, they are unable to work towards their dreams and end up losing hope along the way,” Norawuzana said.
“As women, we are trapped in caring for others and we sometimes neglect ourselves and so this seminar will remind us of the importance of taking care of ourselves first, so that we may be able to pursue our own dreams.”
The programme will be directed by former businesswoman Khonziwe Tukwayo, who runs a programme, Talita Cumi, which facilitates workshops to equip young girls on the transition to adulthood.
