Content Strategy & Creation
Building When African Women Talk
Created a recurring series of networking events, eventually building a thriving professional community that consistently packed venues with hundreds of BIPOC womens across multiple cities.
Year :
2024
Industry :
Non-Profit
Client :
When African Woment Talk
Project Duration :
9 months
Problem :
Create consistent, meaningful attendance for BIPOC women's empowerment events in a crowded market of similar initiatives.
Solution :
Most professional events for BIPOC women felt either too corporate or too casual, missing the sweet spot that honors cultural identity while driving career advancement. I crafted messaging that positioned these as "strategy sessions among sisters—serious professional development that felt like gathering with family.
Instead of traditional event promotion, I built a referral engine where each attendee received conversation starters for their networks and exclusive content they could only access by bringing someone new. I tracked which topics generated the most post-event discussion and optimized future programming around proven engagement drivers. The follow-up was personalized rather than generic, sending customized action items based on each person's stated goals during networking.
Results:
Achieved 73% repeat attendance rate compared to the industry average of 23% and averaged 2.3 new attendees per returning participant. Events grew from 50 to 300+ attendees without paid advertising. I created a measurable network effect where 68% of attendees reported making professional connections that led to concrete opportunities within 6 months.
