W.O.W Africa Showcases Women Shaping the Continent’s Future in Landmark 2026 Event

 

 W.O.W (Workshops of Wealth), a pan-African initiative committed to strengthening leadership capacity, economic empowerment and long-term legacy among African women, is set to host a major two-day gathering in Sandton, Johannesburg. The convening will feature the W.O.W Africa 50 Women Honours and a high-level strategy session designed to deepen collaboration among influential women across the continent.

Saturday, 7 March 2026 — W.O.W Africa 50 Women Honours

Taking place on the eve of International Women’s Day at @sandtonhotel, the W.O.W Africa 50 Women Honours will recognise exceptional African women whose work continues to shift economic narratives and transform sectors across the continent. The honourees span multiple fields — from business, finance and public leadership to health, mining, innovation, fashion, environmental advocacy and media.

The recognition is crafted to celebrate meaningful contribution, resilience and measurable impact rather than popularity. Profiles of the honourees will appear in the upcoming edition of W.O.W Business Magazine, a curated publication that documents the leadership ethos, experiences and achievements of African women shaping the continent’s future.

Monday, 9 March 2026 — W.O.W Africa 100 Founding Members Breakfast

Following the honours ceremony, W.O.W will convene the W.O.W Africa 100 Founding Members Breakfast — an exclusive, closed-door chamber intended for strategic engagement among top women leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and professionals.

The session is structured as a high-level dialogue focused on:
• Building shared influence rather than individual competition
• Strengthening cross-border cooperation among African women
• Expanding wealth creation through ownership, access and strategic partnerships
• Developing African-led institutions and economic ecosystems
• Advancing collective economic power beyond recognition and awards

This gathering reflects W.O.W’s conviction that the continent achieves progress faster when women collaborate intentionally and consistently.

The Vision of W.O.W Africa

Founded by South African entrepreneur and wealth strategist Lelo N, W.O.W Africa was created to fill a major gap in the leadership and economic development landscape. While African women increasingly drive growth and innovation, few platforms fully centre their economic voice, strategic collaboration and multi-generational legacy.

Fluent in Kiswahili and active in continental engagement, Lelo N champions a vision of cross-cultural accessibility and pan-African inclusion. “W.O.W Africa is about amplifying shared power,” she said. “It is about women shaping markets, influencing policy and opening opportunities collectively across borders.”

W.O.W Africa operates as an interconnected ecosystem that brings together recognition, dialogue, storytelling and partnership — all in service of Africa’s long-term prosperity.

Looking Ahead — W.O.W Africa 50 Men

As part of its broader commitment to inclusive leadership, W.O.W Africa will host W.O.W Africa 50 Men on 6 June 2026. The event will recognise influential African men who model ethical leadership, support women’s advancement and contribute to building a more inclusive and collaborative economic landscape.

Together, these platforms reinforce W.O.W Africa’s belief that sustainable development and continental progress are achieved through partnership, not rivalry.

W.O.W Africa is presented by The Lelo N Foundation and The House of W.O.W, reflecting their shared commitment to African excellence, prosperity and legacy-driven leadership.

Dr. Crack Champions Long - Term Industry Growth Through Intentional Talent Development

 

 

Olayinka Adebayo, popularly known as Dr. Crack, has consistently anchored his work in the creative and audio industry on a clear philosophy: sustainable industry growth must begin with deliberate and structured talent development.

Over the years, his contributions have extended far beyond commercial projects. Through an annual free summer training programme for teenagers, Adebayo has continued to invest significant time, resources, and expertise in early-stage creative education. The initiative introduces young participants to audio, media, and technology-driven creative disciplines at a formative stage, offering structured learning, mentorship, and real-world exposure rather than surface-level inspiration.

Sources familiar with the programme note that its scope goes beyond technical instruction. Participants are exposed to professional standards, work ethics, and the evolving role of technology in creative production. The objective, observers say, is to prepare young creatives not only for today’s tools but for an industry being rapidly reshaped by digital systems, automation, and emerging technologies.

Earlier this year, Adebayo reinforced this stance during a closed-door meeting with select stakeholders in the audio and creative sector. Addressing experienced practitioners, business owners, and key decision-makers, he made a strong case for increased investment in structured training and talent incubation. He stressed that the industry’s long-term viability depends on how effectively it prepares the next generation for technology-driven workflows.

In his remarks, Adebayo highlighted a growing disconnect between industry expectations and the readiness of upcoming creatives. While technology continues to advance rapidly, access to guided learning, mentorship, and professional environments remains limited for many young talents. He warned that without deliberate intervention, the gap between opportunity and preparedness will continue to widen.

Rather than treating the issue as a short-term challenge, Adebayo framed it as a strategic responsibility. He urged industry leaders to move beyond passive talent consumption and adopt more sustainable models that prioritize training, knowledge transfer, and long-term capacity building.

According to him, investment in people is no longer optional if the industry intends to remain relevant in an evolving technological landscape.

These initiatives and conversations form part of a broader commitment to shaping an ecosystem where creativity and technology develop in tandem. For Adebayo, the focus remains on building pathways that connect experience with access, legacy practices with modern systems, and emerging talent with practical, future-ready skills.

Industry observers describe his approach as one marked by quiet execution, deliberate collaboration, and impact over visibility. Whether through youth training programmes or high-level industry engagements, the underlying objective remains consistent: preparing creatives for a future that demands both artistic sensitivity and technical competence.

In an industry often driven by immediacy, Olayinka Adebayo’s long-term perspective continues to stand out reinforcing a simple but often overlooked truth: the future of the creative and audio industry will be defined not just by technology, but by how well people are prepared to use it.

From a childhood shaped by hardship to a growing reputation as one of the country’s promising new voices, the young artiste’s journey reflects resilience, grit, and an unyielding belief in purpose.

Raised in a rural community by his grandparents after losing his mother at a young age, Traycee Ink was introduced early to the harsh realities of survival.

Known for his romantic visual style and a distinctive sound that sets him apart from many of his peers, Traycee Ink has steadily built a catalogue of hit records that continue to resonate with listeners across the country.

Reflecting on his journey, the singer says his background remains a source of motivation rather than limitation. “I came from a place where nothing was promised, but I always believed my story could be bigger than my surroundings. Everything I went through in the village prepared me for this moment,” he said.

Despite the challenges that marked his early life, Traycee Ink has remained focused on his craft, carving out a distinct lane in Nigeria’s highly competitive music scene. His latest release signals another step forward in a career that many believe is only just beginning.
