Event Description

Join us online to celebrate women’s power from sharing to owning their success this International Women’s Day!

On International Women’s Day 2026, join the Africa Investment Network (AIN) and Timeless Woman of Wonder (TWOW) for a powerful global conversation on women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, and access to capital.

For generations, women — particularly African and diaspora women — have been the backbone of communities, institutions, and economies. We lead households. We mobilize networks. We mentor. We organize. We give.

Yet too often, while women contribute value, they do not build ownership.
While we shape outcomes, we do not hold equity.
While we drive growth, we are not positioned as capital decision-makers.

Give to Gain: From Contribution to Ownership redefines what leadership means in this era.

Leadership is not only about service.
It is not only about representation.
It is about power, equity, influence — and ownership.

This webinar explores the critical shift from:

• Community engagement to capital participation
• Volunteerism to venture building
• Network building to wealth creation
• Influence without equity to leadership with ownership

We will examine how women can leverage the very strengths that have sustained communities — relationship capital, trust, resilience, and collaboration — to build enterprises, access investment opportunities, and structure long-term ownership.

Featured Speakers
We are honored to welcome distinguished women leaders who are shaping policy, enterprise, and global institutions:

Dr. Jemimah Njuki, Director, Women, Gender & Civil Society at the African Development Bank
Christine Musisi, President of INOZA Uganda
Carla Denizard-Kotey, West Africa Regional Leader at World Vision
Grace Krobo-Edusei, Certified Leadership Coach with John C. Maxwell Team and CEO GRACE Centre for Growth and Excellence
Shalom Munyiri, CEO of Ritro Group
Together, they bring expertise across development finance, civil society, leadership transformation, enterprise growth, and private investment — embodying the full spectrum of what it means to move from contribution to ownership.

What This Webinar Will Explore
Women in Leadership: Beyond Presence to Power
True leadership requires more than a seat at the table. It requires ownership of outcomes, governance influence, and capital access. We will examine pathways to executive leadership, board readiness, policy influence, and institutional power — and how women can move from participation to strategic authority.

From Community Builder to Enterprise Builder
Many women begin by serving — leading nonprofits, supporting initiatives, mentoring others. This summit explores how those skills translate into entrepreneurship, scalable businesses, and investment-ready ventures.

Access to Capital & Investment Pathways
What does ownership actually look like? How do women move from consumers of capital to allocators of capital?

A Pipeline for the Next Generation
Students, aspiring entrepreneurs, and young professionals are not “future leaders” — they are emerging leaders. This convening creates space for intergenerational dialogue, mentorship, and actionable guidance on building businesses, careers, and investment literacy early.

Who Should Attend?
Established and aspiring women entrepreneurs
Women executives and board-ready leaders
Students and young professionals exploring entrepreneurship
Investors and fund managers
Diaspora professionals exploring ownership opportunities
Development finance and impact institutions
Corporate leaders and ecosystem partners
Allies committed to advancing women’s economic power
