As part of activities to commemorate the 2024 International Women’s Day, 7gongs, an Africa-focused public relations and strategic communications consultancy, held a personal development workshop at Holy Child College (HCC), Ikoyi, to equip students with skills that will enhance their success outcomes in life.
The workshop, tagged Shaping Brand You, aims at equipping teenage girls with the right mix of information and support they need to navigate the critical but often confusing teenage years so they can become effective adults. The HCC event was the inaugural edition.

Speaking at the workshop, Nedum Omafodezi, Chief Operating Officer of 7gongs, said, “Shaping Brand You is a 7gongs CSR initiative aimed at inspiring young girls for success. It feeds into the wider global efforts for women’s empowerment by providing the upcoming generation of women with the tools they need for both self- and group agency so they can confidently launch out and pursue their aspirations.
“The 2024 IWD theme: #InspireInclusion, provided us with an excellent launch platform as we consider teenage girls a key demography within the community of women. The teenage years is a transitory phase typically characterized by a lot of confusion regarding self-identity and social roles as girls make the shift from childhood to young adulthood. We are optimistic that the learning gained from these workshops will help the participants in understanding and successfully navigating this phase of life and set them on the right path to actualizing their ambitions as well as becoming effective members of society.”
