Skillher meets refresh/hangout edition- September 2024


The September edition of Skillher meets took the form a hangout session with Flow Wellness, providing a platform for participants to unwind, connect, learn, and build relationships, not just on a personal level but also for professional advancement. 

Selected members of the Skillher community, had the pleasure of attending the 2024 Flow Wellness Picnic which took place at The Nest Pre-School in Jericho, Ibadan. Hosted by Ronke Giwa-Onafuwa and Chioma Fakorede.  

                                             

The day was filled with uplifting activities focused on wellness and connection. From a relaxing meditation session to an energetic Zumba workout, the event catered to both physical and mental well-being. 

Asides engaging in exciting individual and group games, from endurance tasks to dance competitions, the participants benefited from inspiring talks by Olamide Alao Akala and other women. A gynecologist’s health talk addressed key female health needs, emphasizing the importance of connecting and networking beyond friendships to include career, business, and personal growth.


Participants also benefited from health checks like BMI, blood pressure, and blood sugar screenings. And of course, there were gift bags, food and drinks, for women to have meaningful connections over. Our Skillher participants had a nice time at the hangout and left energized to continue their daily activities while prioritizing their health and wellness.





Reflecting on the session, one of the participants Goodness Iruoma commented that the hangout was really refreshing and she didn't realize how tired she was and how much she needed the timeout. 

Overall, the event resonated deeply with SkillHer’s mission of empowering women holistically, reaffirming the belief that wellness, networking, and professional development can go hand in hand.
