Ojo-Aromokudu, an expert in counseling and mentorship, stressed that for women to accelerate in life, they must first empower themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically.

She outlined five core areas for personal and professional growth: self-value and awareness, vision and purpose, community and relationships, burden bearers and gatekeepers, and strategic connections.
