HERfrica Alumni Session 2
Building Partnerships That Work
Success in business is rarely built alone. The strongest businesses are often supported by meaningful partnerships that create opportunities, unlock resources, and open doors that would otherwise remain closed.
Join us for our second HERfrica Alumni Session as we explore what it truly takes to build strategic partnerships that create lasting value. Led by Toyin Bashir, Partner at Banwo & Ighodalo and Founder of WeSupportHer, this session will provide practical insights into identifying the right opportunities, cultivating authentic relationships, and building collaborations that support sustainable business growth.
Following the learning session, participants will engage in facilitated breakout conversations designed to encourage reflection, accountability, and meaningful peer connection.
Together, we will:
Understand what makes strategic partnerships successful
Learn how to identify and approach the right collaborators
Explore ways to build mutually beneficial relationships
Reflect on personal and business growth during the year
Connect with fellow entrepreneurs and strengthen our community
At HERfrica, we believe that while entrepreneurship begins with one person, sustainable growth is built through community. One partnership can change a business. One relationship can open a new chapter. And together, we rise further than we ever could alone.
