Women, Work & Worth: Tolagbe Soleye Martins & Jola Ayeye Lead a Bold Conversation

In a bold prelude to International Women’s Day 2025, Women, Work & Worth: Owning the Narrative convened a powerhouse of women ready to step fully into their confidence, visibility, and influence.

Hosted by Tolagbe Soleye Martins, a leading strategy and communications expert dedicated to empowering women and businesses, and featuring award-winning writer, producer, and podcast host Jola Ayeye, the event delivered a powerful message: ‘Own your story before the world writes it for you’.

Challenging the Status Quo

In a world where women often second-guess their worth, wait for permission, or shy away from visibility, this event challenged attendees to break the cycle. Key conversations revolved around:

• Your worth isn’t just what you think—it’s what people are willing to offer. How do we ensure we’re positioning ourselves for the opportunities we deserve?
• Visibility won’t just “happen.” Women must be intentional about being seen, heard, and valued.
• Imposter syndrome is a liar. If you’re in the room, you belong there—end of story.
• Perfection isn’t the goal—execution is. The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t? Taking action, even when it’s messy.

Through candid discussions, strategic insights, and real-world applications, attendees left not just inspired but equipped with tangible tools to execute their ambitions.
