As the Ramadan continues, young women and youth from Nigeria and across several countries worldwide recently gathered virtually for the 10th edition of the Dare to Inspire (DTI) Mentoring Session, marking a decade of faith-rooted mentorship and impact.

Themed “Renewed Hope: Rooted in Faith,” the milestone edition addressed the emotional, spiritual, and social realities of today’s world, offering participants a reflective and empowering space to reconnect with faith, rediscover hope, and embrace purposeful
action.

The landmark event featured an accomplished line-up of women leaders and professionals, including Ini Zainab Abimbola, Founder of Thistlepraxis Consulting; Dr. Aishah Adams, Mind Doctor at Ed Siddiqah Foundation; Bimpe
Afolabi, Partner, Internal Audit & GRCS at KPMG West Africa; and Tope Fajingbesi, Founder and CEO of SHE-EO.

Through personal stories and faith-centered insights, the speakers shared practical wisdom on resilience, conviction, patience, and hope anchored in trust in Allah.

In her opening address, the convener of Dare to Inspire, Bunmi Ghiazat Adebimpe, reflected on DTI’s journey over the past ten years, describing the anniversary edition as a moment of renewal and re-anchoring in faith.

She emphasized that hope is not passive, but an active trust in God and unveiled the Dare to Inspire Mentorship Platform, a new digital initiative designed to extend DTI’s impact into sustained, faith-rooted guidance and mentorship.

The event featured moments of reflection, interactive engagement, and collective prayers, as well as a call-to-action inviting participants to join the mentorship platform as mentors, mentees, or volunteers.

As DTI celebrates a decade of impact, DTI 10 reaffirmed the initiative’s commitment to building a sustained community of faith, purpose, and impact as Dare to Inspire enters its next decade.
