The founder of Emerge New Woman, Lady Mae, positioned women’s mental and emotional renewal as a driver for national productivity at the 6th Renewed Woman conference. The event, held under the theme “Recharge” at the Emmanuel Event Enclave in Labone, attracted over 700 attendees and featured a well-known media personality, Nana Ama McBrown, as the guest speaker.
Various elements, including a session with clinical psychologist Dr. Abra Dziedorm, anchored the message of recharge.
Addressing the gathering, Lady Mae framed the annual conference not merely as a motivational event, but as a necessary intervention for promoting wellness that translates to peak performance and productivity, indicating how burnout impedes professional and entrepreneurial output.
“Renewed Woman is a transformative gathering where women come to reflect, share their stories, and draw strength. It provides a safe, empowering space for mental, emotional, and personal renewal, reminding women that restoration is part of growth,” Lady Mae said.
The three pillars that underpin Emerge New Woman’s ethos are Healing, Empowerment and Re-integration. To date the NGO has invested an excess of GHS 1,000,000 across psycho-education, Seed Funding, business skills training and various support services. Emphasizing the business-oriented philosophy behind her NGO’s work, she connected the theme of ‘Recharge’ directly to sustained performance.
“Recharge is about recognizing that need and choosing restoration before exhaustion sets in. Many of us feel lost or that we are failing; but we are simply running on empty batteries,” she explained, highlighting how burnout impedes professional and entrepreneurial output.
The event also served as a platform for partnership appeals and a showcase of the organization’s financial footprint. Lady Mae announced the launch of her second book, Save You First, which underscores the principle of conscious self-investment.
According to her, to expand the foundation’s impact, they are actively seeking sponsorship and partnerships from government institutions, corporate bodies, and other NGOs. This call for investment was punctuated by tangible action during the conference, directly linking the day’s themes of renewal to concrete business advancement, as a total of 30 seed fund beneficiaries were supported, as well as 5 seed fund beneficiaries exhibiting the products from their skills.
12 beneficiaries received a share GHC 50,000, and 18 others received products worth about GHC 100,000, including appliances, equipment, and supplies for their businesses.
Special guest speaker, Nana Ama McBrown, reinforced the necessity of recharging for peak performance. Sharing her own life’s journey, she charged the audience with a mandate not to give up and keep pushing.
“You can’t sit at the same place and expect things to move in your favor in 2026. As you enter into 2026, always be on the move and God’s favor will locate you,” she said.
The conference was attended by dignitaries including Founder of the Solid Rock Chapel International, Rev. Dr. Christie Doe Tetteh, Apostle Felicia Acheampong of Aroma of Christ, Rosemund Obeng, representative of the Deputy Chief of Staff (the Office of the President), veteran actress Akofa Edjeani Asiedu, guest artist Obaapa Christy, Ark Band, media personalities Kwesi Ernest and AJ Pounds as the MC for the event.
