She Leads Africa brings the 'She Hive' professional bootcamp to Accra

She Leads Africa will bring the She Hive, the innovative professional bootcamp to Accra between January 20th and 24th. The weeklong bootcamps are designed to help young professionals develop their career and business skills, join a community of leaders, and network with mentors and investors.

The SheHive was piloted in September 2015 in Lagos. More than 150 young women attended sessions and visited the bootcamp throughout the week and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive with Chioma Ukonu Founder of Recycle Points describing the She Hive as a “wonderful platform” and lifestyle blogger Melody Okezie already confirming her attendance for next year’s edition. Highlights from Lagos are available here.

The team from She Leads Africa is now excited to bring the SheHive to Accra. Speaking about the Accra event, SLA co-founder Yasmin Belo-Osagie pointed out a number of exciting additions to the She Hive format. “At She Hive Accra, we’ll have a virtual pass for community members who are unable to physically attend the event. We’re also launching SLA co-founder Office Hours which will allow entrepreneurs to book time with an SLA co-founder to discuss strategy or to review their pitch deck.” She explained. “As former strategy consultants, the SLA team is trained to help businesses reach their potential and we’re excited to share those skills with our community.” Interested participants can sign up for the She Hive here.

Some of the accomplished mentors and speakers include:

Anita Erskine, Starr FM host of “Making of A Mogul”
Florence Hutchful, Former Head of Human Resources for Standard Chartered West Africa
Sangu Delle, Entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist
Peace Hyde, West Africa correspondent for Forbes Africa
