The day began with an exclusive brunch at GAIA Africa, which hosted Jean-Marc Gallot, President of Veuve Clicquot. This intimate gathering brought together the finalists for both the Bold Woman and Bold Future Awards, as well as some of the distinguished judges, including Affiong Williams, the first-ever recipient of the Bold Woman Award in Nigeria, Juliet Ehimuan, and Temilola Adepetun.
The main event then commenced with a chic cocktail reception at the Federal Palace Hotel, where guests networked, toasted with champagne, and contributed personalized messages to a stunning “Wall of Messages,” where they wrote words of inspiration to other attendees.
