It was a celebration of talent and excellence when not less than 2,000 young women gathered at the Women Kreatives Connect Summit (WKCS) hosted by Terra Academy for the Arts (TAFTA) on April 24, 2025, at Regal Hall, Daystar, Ikeja.
With the theme “Building as a Creative in Nigeria,” the summit brought together female creatives from across Lagos for a full day of inspiration, hands-on workshops, networking, and knowledge sharing.
TAFTA’s brand ambassador, Bamike “BamBam” Adenibuyan, and actor Emeka “Emeneks” Nwagbaraocha featured as guest speakers in a vibrant panel session, where they shared personal insights on turning passion into profit and navigating the realities of Nigeria’s creative industry.
Attendees participated in breakout training workshops covering scriptwriting and art business as well as entrepreneurship.
The summit also included live creative challenges, networking moments, and spotlight performances.
Top female content creators were rewarded with free premium content creation kits, reinforcing TAFTA’s mission to equip women with tools to grow and thrive in the creative economy.
