What people say about us

Membership

I found the session interesting and think it is great that such things are being organized, I wish there was a forum like this available to me in my earlier career. The presenters were very open and honest and created a safe space to encourage sharing. I look forward to receiving info on future events.

Just when I was at the crossroad of my career, BWHR came along providing guidance through her mentorship program. The desire to have an experienced hand hold me is among many other reasons why I decided to be a part of this mentorship program. So far, The experience has been great.

I have had to face my fears, learn to ask the 'why ' question before I act, let go of backlogs from the past, visualize my future and in fact move them to my present. The relationship I have now come to share with my mentor from BWHR is nothing short of a family member bond.

My advice to those thinking of signing up, would be to, *waste no further time*. You can be sure that BWHR has room for you too!

Mentee

Adese Okojie, BWHR founder has been a monumental force in giving me the guidance, advice and confidence to navigate the world of work as a black woman.

She encouraged me to be unafraid of raising my voice and gave me formidable tools to help articulate my needs and wants.

Her generosity of time and spirit know no bounds. She approaches everything with heart, conviction, wisdom and a deep knowledge that comes from what is clearly a long and experienced career in HR. She knows the system, and knows exactly how to encourage women to work it to their advantage rather than feeling the odds are stacked against them.

I believe that every woman - whether she is in a period of peace or trouble, of constance or transition - has the advice of someone like Adese in their toolkit.

I was drawn to black women in HR because of the passion and focus the brand had for developing professional black women. After a few conversations, we were finally able to lock in a date to have a honest conversation about 'How Black women can amplify their voices'.

The conversation was amazing! It was energetic, engaging and really sparked some food for thought. Since then, it has been great working with the founder of BWHR, and as the discussions around growth and collaboration continue I am excited to see what the future holds.
