🎉 What a way to begin! Today, we successfully held the very first live session inside the WICEI Digital School, and what an incredible start it was! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions, shared insights, and made our inaugural session so engaging. A special appreciation to our facilitator, Faith Oloruntoba, for generously sharing practical knowledge on accessing grant opportunities in Canada. Your expertise has equipped many women to think differently about funding their ideas and organizations. If you missed the live session, don’t worry! The recording is now available right here.

My win today wasn’t just hosting our first Digital School session. It was seeing a vision become reality. Months of planning, conversations, ideas, teamwork, and prayer led to this moment. Watching women show up ready to learn reminded me that every effort behind the scenes is worth it. I’m grateful to be part of something that’s creating opportunities and building community for women across Canada. On to the next milestone. 💜
