Telecel Ghana has hosted the second edition of its Women 100 Power Connect, honouring women who’ve defied convention to excel in male-dominated careers. Held as the climax of International Women’s Month, the event brought together 100 influential women to connect, share, and inspire.
Under the theme “The Road Less Travelled,” the event featured powerful stories from notable speakers, including Ghana’s Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, Prisons Service Director-General DGP Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, and Tullow Oil Ghana’s Operations Director Dr. Lina Sowah. Each shared journeys of perseverance and resilience, emphasizing mentorship, consistency, and courage.
Telecel CEO Patricia Obo-Nai highlighted the importance of storytelling in empowering younger generations: “Extraordinary stories can transform futures and empower generations of women to come.”
The event forms part of Telecel’s Women in Business initiative, which supports women-led SMEs with access to finance, insurance, capacity building, and visibility.
Emotive highlights included a traditional poetry recital, affirmation exchanges, and a symbolic candle-lighting to inspire more women to pursue bold, unconventional paths.
Enterprise Director Tawa Bolarin urged women to support and join the initiative: “Spotlighting these journeys helps dismantle the barriers that limit others.”
Through initiatives like this, Telecel continues to promote gender equity and empower women entrepreneurs across Ghana.
