Voices of Empowerment

State of the Women Address

With over 200 attendees, the event marked a powerful milestone in celebrating the resilience, achievements, and contributions of women across various fields.


The State of Women Address (SOWA), serves as a opportunity to address pressing issues affecting women, foster meaningful dialogue that empowers with insights from inspiring leaders. Its founders say SOWA is not just an event; it’s a movement to challenge the narrative and address the critical issues that affect women today.


By uniting voices across genders, SOWA brought together change-makers and influential speakers for an open, honest, and impactful dialogue facilitated by radio veteran, Tbose Mokwele and women empowerment, Olwethu Leshabane.

“With SOWA, we have created a sustainable movement that fosters gender collaboration, drives meaningful change, and positively impacts women’s lives beyond the event,“ says Tumi Mthembu, Founder of WomenCan.


Leading with the message Your Voice Matters, the speakers provided insights while empowering women with tools, resources, and actionable insights to address critical challenges including gender pay gap, wellness, financial empowerment, spirituality, mental health, diversity, and inclusion.
