Woman Ignite Success Summit 2023 (WISS2023) held recently (January 27-28, 2023) was a tremendous success, with over 15 international speakers sharing their insights and expertise with a captive audience of close to 400 attendees over two days. Under the theme, ACTIVATE, the Summit’s goal of empowering women to reach their full potential, inspiring women to chase their dreams, and providing a platform for women to network and grow, was certainly achieved.
One attendee who was present for the two-day event shared, “I enjoyed the event from start to finish on both days. From the energy, the decor, the food, and the speakers. The speakers’ messages were very impactful and thought-provoking, and you could feel the presence of God in the space. Great event…looking forward to it next year!“
Attendees were treated to a dynamic line-up of speakers who shared their personal stories of overcoming challenges, pursuing their passions, and achieving their goals. The speakers shared practical tips and strategies for success, along with insights on leadership, entrepreneurship, and self-empowerment.
“It was truly amazing to see so many women from different backgrounds come together to learn, grow, and connect,” said Dr. Joan Wright Good, keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and author. “I was inspired by the energy and enthusiasm in the room, and I can’t wait to see the impact this summit will have on the attendees’ lives.”

In her opening remarks, founder and conference convenor Keneshia Nooks-Blake invited attendees to spend five minutes affirming a woman sitting beside them. She shared, “This type of affirmation is critical and desperately needed [as] women are often encouraged to compete with each other instead of supporting each other. Women are called to bear so much, and we don’t know what each one is going through, so let’s begin to speak this way and affirm the women around us starting now.”
Other sessions like “From Single to Married: Panel Discussion” had the place abuzz as the attendees got the opportunity to ask personal questions and get practical, actionable feedback from the expert panel of Bishop Dr. Carla Dunbar, Marriage, Family, and Sex Therapist; Megan Hylton, Counselling Psychologist and Coach and Amoy Lawrence, Author and Motivational Speaker.
After participating in the session led by Ms. Rochelle Gapere, Attorney, Happiness Coach, another attendee shared how she survived her suicide attempt and how the session on “Renewing the Mind, Choosing Happiness, and Designing Your Best Life” gave her the tools and confidence to use her story to support others.
“I have never been to an event like this before, and I was blown away by the level of openness and experience of the speakers,” said another attendee.
The event organisers are already planning the next summit, which promises to be even bigger and better. Woman Ignite Success Summit was organised by the Woman Ignite Foundation and supported through funding by Always, ONEGROUP, and a range of other corporate partners.
