Speaking about the 2021 edition, Linda said “I am very passionate about women and very inspired by successful women.
I want more women to believe in themselves, fight for their dreams, be financially independent, believe that there’s nothing they can’t accomplish.
She also expressed her profound gratitude to Africa’s giant financial institution, Ecobank for coming on board the project. ‘Having Ecobank on board the ‘Selfmade Woman Conference’ is so heartwarming. It is like coming together of liked minds. Now we can make the ‘Selfmade Woman Conference’ bigger and better.
