It’s Wednesday and time for our very first Woman Crush of the Year! Honestly, last year I met so many amazing women and I can’t wait to showcase the diversity and talent available in the Nigerian woman. Today’s crush is someone I met a few years ago but got to learn a lot more about in 2016. Please meet PR Guru and Creator of Hernetwork.co Nkem Onwudiwe
Nkem Onwudiwe has a background in PR and communications and has a long standing reputation as as a PR and communications expert. From managing small, to larger clients and individuals, Nkem is able to leverage her in-depth skills and extensive network to both communicate and share her clients objectives with its target audience via traditional and new media.
Nkem is also deeply passionate about women empowerment and it is this passion that inspired her in 2015 to create Her Network– a premier networking platform for women. The platform aims to connect women, as well as inspire and encourage them to live successfully – career, family, etc… and help one another grow. Since it’s inception the platform has organised various empowerment events in South Africa and Lagos, Nigeria.
Her accomplishments aside, Nkem’s work through Her network has been nothing short of amazing, in a short period of time she has managed to create a network of women who are passionate and eager to develop themselves. The Her Network instagram page is MUST follow for any women seeking an inspiration blend of personal development and spiritual growth. In our #WCW Nkem shares with us her challenges and advice for female entrepreneurs. Check on it
