Why Conveners Like Ibi Ibru & Feyi Bello Matter For This Generation Of Women 

Every generation is shaped not only by leaders, but by conveners, the people intentional enough to gather knowledge, experience and community in one room. 

With The Mum Fund 2.0 My Sister’s Keeper, Ibiyinka Ibru and Feyi Bello demonstrated the growing importance of platforms designed to bridge generations of women through conversation, mentorship and shared experience. 

Held at The Chair Centre, the event brought together some of Nigeria’s most respected women in business and leadership alongside younger founders, professionals and mothers navigating modern life in real time. 

What made the gathering significant was not simply the calibre of speakers, but the intentional transfer of wisdom happening across the day. 

Through sessions featuring women such as Ibukun Awosika, Omobola Johnson, Yewande Zaccheus, Mojisola Hunponu-Wusu and Rolake Akinkugbe-Filani, attendees were exposed to decades of leadership experience, personal lessons and practical insight from women who have helped shape Nigeria’s corporate, entrepreneurial and investment landscape. 

At a time when many younger women are building careers and businesses in increasingly demanding environments, spaces like The Mum Fund create opportunities to learn directly from women who have navigated similar paths before them, not only the successes, but also the discipline, resilience and long-term thinking required to sustain impact. 

The event also highlighted a growing shift in how modern female leadership is being expressed. Rather than positioning success as isolated achievement, conveners like Ibi Ibru and Feyi Bello are building platforms centred on access, community and shared growth. 

Their ability to bring together established industry leaders and emerging voices in one environment reflects the importance of intentional curation, creating rooms where mentorship feels accessible

and where younger women can see tangible examples of what leadership, evolution and longevity can look like. 

Beyond the conversations themselves, The Mum Fund 2.0 represented something increasingly valuable in today’s culture: thoughtful convening. The kind that preserves institutional knowledge, encourages intergenerational dialogue and creates pathways for the next generation of women to build with greater clarity and confidence. 

As Nigeria’s ecosystem of female founders, executives and creators continues to expand, platforms like The Mum Fund are becoming more than events. They are becoming archives of shared wisdom, community and possibility for the women coming next.
