Founder of the Live Again Movement, Enifome Ogbimi, will bring together some of Nigeria’s foremost leadership and transformation experts, including Fela Durotoye, Bankole Williams, Debola Deji-Kurunmi, Ifeoma Chuks-Adizue and workplace well-being specialist Nneka Jethro-Iruobe, for the fifth anniversary of the movement at the Live Again at 5 Leadership and Transformation Conference, scheduled for July 25 in Lagos.

The conference will commemorate five years of the movement’s work in advancing emotional healing, women’s leadership, entrepreneurship and advocacy against gender-based violence, while unveiling a new phase of initiatives aimed at strengthening workplace well-being, economic empowerment and early intervention for adolescent girls.
Speaking ahead of the event, Ogbimi said the conference is not merely a celebration of the organisation’s anniversary but a reflection on the lives transformed over the past five years and a call to deepen conversations around healing and purposeful leadership.

“It is a celebration of every woman who chose to rise after adversity, every life that has been transformed and every ripple effect created when one woman discovers that her story is not over,” she said.
According to her, the Live Again Movement has grown into an impact-driven ecosystem dedicated to helping women recover from trauma, develop leadership capacity and build sustainable livelihoods.

She disclosed that through the Live Again Foundation, the organisation has reached more than 2,000 women across Nigeria through emotional healing programmes, entrepreneurship support, leadership development, mentorship, advocacy against gender-based violence and community-based interventions.

Ogbimi noted that one of the critical issues shaping this year’s conference is the increasing number of women who continue to excel professionally while silently dealing with emotional trauma.
Drawing from her personal experience, she recounted surviving domestic abuse while maintaining a successful career, explaining that the emotional and psychological impact of the experience inspired the movement’s growing emphasis on workplace well-being.

According to her, trauma cuts across social class, profession and educational background, affecting women in corporate boardrooms, businesses and informal workplaces alike. Yet many continue to suppress their experiences for fear of stigma or being perceived as incapable.

To address this reality, the conference will feature a dedicated session on Workplace Trauma and Employee Well-being, led by workplace well-being expert Nneka Jethro-Iruobe. The session will explore the relationship between personal trauma and workplace productivity while providing practical strategies for executives, human resource professionals, founders and organisations seeking to build psychologically safe work environments.

The event will also host an Executive Leadership Experience, a premium learning platform designed for executives, entrepreneurs, founders, senior professionals, ministry leaders and decision-makers. Participants are expected to engage in keynote presentations, leadership conversations, coaching sessions, executive networking and practical discussions on building resilient leadership and sustainable influence.

Beyond the conference, the organisation will unveil a number of initiatives marking its next phase of growth.
Among them is Live Again Enterprise, a social enterprise established to generate sustainable funding for the movement’s social impact programmes while creating economic opportunities for women. Guests will also experience the Live Again Pop-Up Shop, showcasing products developed through the movement’s enterprise ecosystem.
The conference will further premiere the Live Again Gender-Based Violence Documentary, an advocacy project created to amplify survivors’ voices, encourage survivor-centred support and stimulate national conversations on prevention, healing and restoration.

Also to be launched is the pilot phase of Live Again for Girls, an early intervention programme designed to equip adolescent girls with life skills, resilience and confidence to make informed choices and prevent cycles of abuse before they begin.
Reflecting on the movement’s journey, Ogbimi said the newly introduced initiatives underscore its commitment to supporting women through every stage of life—from prevention and healing to leadership, entrepreneurship and long-term societal impact.

“Live Again has never been about simply helping women recover from pain. It is about helping women build lives of purpose, influence and significance. When one woman truly lives again, everyone connected to her benefits. That is the ripple effect we are committed to creating,” she said.

Expected to attract executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, ministry leaders, development partners and women from across different sectors, the conference will provide a platform for conversations on resilient leadership, workplace wellness, economic inclusion and collective action, while celebrating five years of the Live Again Movement’s growing contribution to women’s development in Nigeria.
