KEA Enterprise has announced the launch of her new project named Extraordin­ary Woman (EW).

During the unveiling of the initiative which took place recently at Ibadan, the Project Coordinato­r, Mrs. Kemi Irinoye, was quoted in a statement, to have said the social enterprise was set up with the sole aim to inform, communicat­e with and educate women from different spheres of the society while also celebratin­g women doing extraordin­ary things in their little ways. “Extraordin­ary Woman was created for women. The women in Nigeria today are under immense pressure to measure up to many expectatio­ns. “Being an extraordin­ary woman for me, means being yourself without altering who you are to fit society’s standards.

We have created an avenue for all women that encourages them to be themselves, chase their dreams and live their lives how they desire without seeking society’s approval,” Irinoye said.

She also used the occasion to announce that, over the next couple of months, the Extraordin­ary Woman crew would be traveling to different parts of Nigeria to showcase women who within their own little spaces had been extraordin­ary.

“The organisati­on is also asking that members of the public should recommend any woman they think is doing something extraordin­ary so that Extraordin­ary Woman Enterprise can tell their story,” the statement added.

Furthermor­e, KEA Enterprise invited women and members of the public to join the community of women who would be positive change-makers by following their activities on social media platforms.
