About This Event

A Signature YEP Gathering for Connection, Conversation, and Community

Women Power Hour is one of YEP's signature gatherings — a space created to bring Ethiopian professional women and allies together for meaningful conversation, authentic connection, and shared growth.

This year's theme, "Lights. Camera. Content.", explores the power of storytelling, media, and visibility — and how women are shaping narratives, building platforms, and influencing culture through their voices and work.

Join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion, networking, and community with women leading across industries.
