Driven by the passion to promote gender equality and help women maximise their potential; she started an online closed group on Facebook, named “Woman to Woman”.

The group members are constantly educated, inspired and empowered.
The online group with over 2,000 members, later gave birth to quarterly meetings held in Abuja, Nigeria. The quarterly meetings which bring together women from different religions and backgrounds have become a forum for women to be trained, mentored and empowered.
