The Ashmusy Foundation recently held its highly anticipated Boss Up Empowerment event on October 27, 2024, at the Vintano Hotel, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. This empowering event brought together hardworking Nigerian women from various industries to provide them with vital support, mentorship, and resources to advance their business ventures and entrepreneurial dreams.

As part of the initiative, ten women were awarded ₦500,000 each to help kickstart their businesses, alongside essential business equipment tailored to their specific industries. The equipment packages included items such as hair styling tools, kitchenware, makeup kits, sewing machines, and filming equipment, ensuring that each recipient could operate and expand within their fields.
