  "account": "Over 300 women gathered at a Nairobi hotel for the second edition of the Suhba Series: Becoming Her, a women's event created by communications strategist and entrepreneur Farida Idris. The main goal was to provide a space for women from various fields to exchange ideas and build significant relationships. Former Cabinet Secretary Amb. Amina Mohamed delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the importance of continuously growing and learning. Hon. Harriette Chiggai, Presidential Advisor on Women’s Rights, and CHRP Quresha Abdullahi, Executive Director of the Institute of Human Resource Management, also made appearances. The event stood out by doubling its attendee count, moving from 160 women in its inaugural edition to over 300 this year. Suhba aimed to create an atmosphere distinct from typical conferences, featuring brand activations, music, and curated networking. Attendees enjoyed a sophisticated high-tea setting and received prizes such as return tickets to Mombasa and getaway packages to Ethiopia. The organizers aspire to transform Suhba into a community fostering genuine connections, business opportunities, and mentorship among women from diverse backgrounds and industries.",
