This weekend at the Heels Connect: Women & Wealth event, I was profoundly moved by the phenomenal Eva Muraya CEO of BSD Group As she spoke, the room was enveloped in a deep silence—a testament to the wisdom she shared. Her five guiding principles resonated with me on a personal level, prompting reflection on my own journey as a social entrepreneur with SisterSpeaks and Heels4Pads. 1. Faith: She emphasized that faith conquers fear. Throughout my entrepreneurial path, faith has been my anchor during uncertain times. It has given me the courage to pursue initiatives that empower women, even when challenges seemed insurmountable. 2. Family: Being a first daughter, the lessons and values instilled by my family have shaped who I am today. Their unwavering support and the responsibilities I’ve embraced have been foundational to the success of my ventures. Family isn’t just where we come from—it’s the bedrock that supports our aspirations. 3. Fraternity: I’ve learned that surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals is invaluable. The circles of women I’ve built—friends, mentors, supporters—are more than just networks; they’re lifelines. Social capital and a good name open doors that money can’t. Together, we elevate each other to new heights. 4. Focus: In a world filled with distractions, feeding my focus and starving my distractions has been crucial. Aligning my daily actions with my larger goals for SisterSpeaks and Heels4Pads ensures that each step I take is purposeful and impactful. 5. Future: Our future holds limitless potential, but it’s up to us to shape it. By adhering to these principles, we’re not just chasing success—we’re building legacies. Intentionality in our partnerships and infusing faith-based values into our work amplify the impact we can make. Eva’s words reaffirmed why intentionality with business partners matters Angela W. I love doing this with you and our connected faith-based principles in entrepreneurship isn’t just about personal alignment; it’s about fostering ethical, sustainable practices that benefit communities. When women come together in circles, we create a vortex of strength that transforms not just ourselves but the world around us.- This encapsulates the essence of the supportive communities I’ve been fortunate to be part of. These circles are catalysts for change, innovation, and empowerment. Her speech wasn’t just inspirational—it was a clarion call to action. It reminded me of the importance of creating platforms where seasoned women can impart their wisdom to aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s about paving the way for others while continuing to grow ourselves. To all who attended, I’d love to hear your reflections. What insights did Eva’s speech spark in you?. #WomenInWealth #SisterSpeaks #FaithInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #WomenSupportingWomen

A special thanks to our industry and business experts Domiana Mwangangi, Faustina Ning'a and Charity Munyori for their contribution to the conversation, I truly believe several notes were taken from everything shared.

We love to see people's feedback! Thank you for coming Joy and thank you for sharing. You have been our gift of Joy today 😉

Our first panel during the Heels Connect: Women & Wealth Event this past Saturday at Capital Club - was a business focused discussion and the intention was to educate those in the room with tools and knowledge on how to unlock business growth and accessing finance - the conversation was moderated by Angela Wambui and the speakers were filled with knowledge that educated, empowered and enlightened the attendees: We had Domiana Mwangangi - Founder and CEO of Skinsol Aesthetics Clinic and she was candid about how journey of growth and how she has identified opportunities and the lessons she learnt from the mistakes made. Faustina Ning'a enlightened business owners with reminding them to understand the value of their business and to learn to negotiate their worth and invest in opportunities that will lead to the elevation of the business. Charity Munyori educated the women on how to access finance through the banks and what they need to make that possible. Emphasised the need on maintaining communication with your relationship manager in order to get access and learn about the different opportunities that exist that they can take advantage of.
