The Mission
To become Africa’s premier platform for amplifying women’s voices, nurturing transformational leadership, and igniting influence that shapes communities, industries, and the continent at large.
Our work is guided by these core values.
Everything we do is built upon five strategic pillars designed to empower the African woman’s narrative:
Voice
We create platforms for women to share their experiences, expertise, and stories, rewriting Africa’s leadership narrative from within.
Leadership
Through mentoring and experiential learning, we build the capacity, skills, and mindset needed to lead effectively in all spheres of influence.
Influence
We empower women to catalyze transformation through advocacy, policy change, and business innovation.
Collaboration
We strengthen sisterhood across borders and industries to create partnerships that drive collective progress.
Legacy
Our vision transcends a single event; we are a movement of purpose-driven women leaving lasting footprints across the continent.
VOALS is a continental catalyst for leadership transformations.
Unlike static conferences, VOALS follows a rotational model, convening in a different African country each year to symbolize unity, representation, and inclusivity. By rotating locations, we celebrate the vast diversity of Africa’s cultures and challenges while ensuring access and visibility for women from every region.
VOALS stands as a beacon of hope, empowerment, and unity.

VOALS bridges the gap between aspiration and opportunity for women across Africa, especially those underrepresented in leadership and decision-making roles.

It provides a safe, affirming environment where women can exchange ideas, gain mentorship, and grow in faith, purpose, and leadership identity.
Driving Societal Change
By amplifying the African woman’s voice, VOALS influences social, political, and economic systems, creating a ripple effect of transformation across communities.
Celebrating Pan-African Unity
By rotating annually across African nations, VOALS promotes collaboration, inclusion, and cross-cultural synergy among women of influence.
