“The Bloom Conversations with Sola” Returns with an Inspiring 2.0 Edition in Lagos

Following the success of its debut edition, The Bloom Conversations with Sola made a highly anticipated return with an impactful 2.0 edition on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Providus Bank building in Lekki, Lagos.

This year’s exclusive gathering welcomed 35 corporate women into a safe, closed-door setting designed to foster candid discussions on navigating the complexities of career, family, relationships, and personal growth. The intimate session provided a platform for participants to share experiences, exchange strategies, and gain valuable insights on thriving in every area of life.

Building on the foundation set in April 2023, The Bloom Conversations with Sola was founded by Oluwasola Obagbemi with a vision to create a nurturing space for professional women. The inaugural session, which hosted 30 dynamic women from diverse industries, featured Sola sharing key lessons from her personal and professional journey. The event’s atmosphere encouraged open dialogue, fostering a community of support and inspiration.

The first edition also featured distinguished speakers such as Audrey Joe-Ezigbo, Folake Sanu, Folake Soetan, and Nkiru Olumide-Ojo, who shared invaluable wisdom on resilience, leadership, and personal growth. More than a year later, their insights continue to shape The Bloom Conversations with Sola, reinforcing its mission to empower women to flourish—no matter where life plants them.

“This second edition is about going deeper,” Sola shared during her address. “It’s about tackling the unspoken questions women often face, building resilience, and fostering a network of support where women can openly share and grow together. Traditional conferences, summits and webinars often lack the intimacy required for vulnerability and actionable problem-solving. The Bloom Conversations with Sola breaks those barriers, creating a space where women can connect, share, and win together.”

The 2.0 edition featured two inspiring speakers: Mrs. Folake Soetan, CEO of Ikeja Electric, who offered practical guidance on personal development in the workplace, goal setting, and nurturing relationships across life’s domains. Meanwhile, Mrs. Adenike Macaulay, CEO of Wakanow, shared her experiences on building workplace allies, achieving balance, and investing in self-growth.

Together with Sola, they provided actionable insights to empower participants to overcome challenges and achieve their personal and professional goals.

This year’s event was made possible through the support of partners, including Providus Bank, Bolt Nigeria, SM Productions, Firewood Jollofrice, DiosDelite, Poshclick, Johnvents, WakeyWhacks, CakesByDebbie, and Ego Foundation.
