WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE BY

Changing The Colour Of The Boardroom

The Fact of The Matter Is...

Top leadership positions have an inherent lack of colour, especially among Black & Brown women.

 

At Odihi, we envision a “New World” with an equitable representation of Black and Brown women in leadership positions across all industries.

KWOMAIS: A PLACE OF VISION

Kwomais is our boardroom and leadership program for youths and young adults to learn how to be better prepared for board and leadership opportunities. Through Kwomais Boardroom initiative, we aim to address the lack of colour in boardrooms by enhancing the skill set of participants through rigorous leadership and board governance training, seminars, events, and mental health workshops.
