Here comes TEDx Spintex Women! #TEDxSpintexWomen
I should post more press releases on my blog as I am aiming towards this 233 blog posts target. :-)
So here's one! The very first TEDx event for woman in Ghana is here. It's happening in Spintex too. I know +kofi yeboah is in full support of this! And folks like +Doris Anson-Yevu +Florence Abena Toffa +Ela Asare +regina agyare +Achere Buxton too.
This year has seen a lot of female-focused forward thinking event activity. Mouthful yeah. We've seen The Savvy Madam, Next Wave Africa, +GDG Women Ghana and the returning Woman 2.1 summit. I'd love to see more Ghanaian women at events like Barcamps and I do hope that these women-dominant events (who told you men won't come?) increase in number and add more Ghanaian women to the network we are enjoying now and more to the #morevim movement.
It's been a great year for TEDx events too. I spoke at TEDxOsu, and was part of the team for +TedxCapeCoastED Ghana. TEDxKNUST also happened and TEDxLabone is coming next year. TEDx Spintex Women features an all-female speaker lineup, no surprises there. +Ashesi University's Esi Ansah, Benny Bonsu, Gloria Buckman Yankson and Ofie Kodjoe will surely give great talks. Check the press release below and register to attend on Eventbrite.
