In a heartwarming display of unity and empowerment, three powerful voices in African tourism—Valerie Of Africa, Amb. Nneka Moses (CEO of Goge Africa), and Chief (Mrs.) Nike Okundaye (Founder of Nike Art Gallery)—have come together to celebrate and honor women in tourism across the globe.
From Tanzania, where Valerie Of Africa is currently leading a mission to raise awareness for women in tourism and mark the International Day of the Girl Child, these iconic women sent a strong message of love, solidarity, and appreciation to women who are making strides in the global tourism industry.
Valerie Of Africa, a vibrant tourism advocate and youth mentor, is currently on an expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro to draw attention to the power of African women and girls in tourism. In her words:
“This moment is about connection. I’m proud to be in the company of two legendary women whose work in tourism and culture have paved the way for many of us. From Nigeria to Tanzania, our voices echo the same message—we see you, we celebrate you, and we stand with you.”
Amb. Nneka Moses, a pioneer media figure and co-founder of the Goge Africa brand, joined in with heartfelt support, reminding women that their work in promoting culture and heritage matters deeply, not just locally but globally.
Chief (Mrs.) Nike Okundaye, lovingly known as Mama Nike, also lent her voice, celebrating women for their resilience and cultural contributions, encouraging them to keep pushing boundaries and preserving African heritage through art, creativity, and tourism.
As the World Tourism Day (September 27th) and International Girl Child Day (October 11th) approach, this gesture from these three powerful figures serves as a rallying call for unity, collaboration, and greater visibility for women in tourism.
From the heart of Africa, these women send a powerful message:
“To every woman in tourism, you are seen, you are valued, and your journey is inspiring generations. Keep going!”
