An empowering women’s conference encouraged women to validate their personal experiences and celebrate sisterhood.

The second-annual International Women’s Day Summit focuses on celebrating achievements and supporting women in every facet of their lives. Attendees are encouraged to make a pledge to support each other in business, healthcare, legal advocacy, and global initiatives. The theme of “Her Voice Matters” was explored throughout the day, with candid panel discussions on the Media, Technology, Bridging the Generation Gap, and more.

Presented by the Annual Eliza Mary Global Network (EMGN), the summit took place last week at Atlanta’s The Gathering Spot on International Women’s Day. EMGN is on a mission to facilitate an environment where women can connect, learn, grow, and share. Its vision is to support female entrepreneurs to become world-class leaders and business owners who are committed to economic empowerment and service.

Melisa Alaba is the founder and chief executive of EMGN.
