Just a recap on what they are about.

The Essence Lifestyle Event was initiated by Zahra Zakariya Abdulkareem, a Business Strategy Consultant and Social Entrepreneur who set out to fill a need in the Muslim community by bringing out new entrepreneurs to share their ideas with the world. She recognized that there was an abundance of talented young people with entrepreneurial skills in Nigeria, but who are unable to get their products in front of their niche audience: trendy, modest, educated millennials.

In her words:

“We strive to achieve our goal of connecting, inspiring and empowering Muslim Millennials in Nigeria by organizing high quality events, which brings together the best of the Islamic culture and tradition. Islam is beautiful and I want the world to see that. I believe it is time to take control of the narrative and start adding value to our society through our unique skills and talents. Since the 2016 edition, our entrepreneurs have gone on to expand their businesses, increase their customer base and gradually build the business of their dreams”.
