Book Launch: Global Fundraiser to Empower 1,000 Women Nano Entrepreneurs

In a high-energy virtual event on 12 July, author and social-impact Leader Olasubomi “Subomi” Sofowora premiered her debut Merged Chapters, a fusion of narratives drawn from personal and professional experiences with leadership insights and practical exercises that pushes the reader to be a better version of themselves while understanding the concept of time and seasons, and how to navigate through them.

Hosted by broadcaster Oluwaseun Olusegun, the launch opened with remarks from His Highness Muhammad Sanusi II, Emir of Kano and UN SDG Advocate Emeritus, who described the book as “a guide to growth and resilience—one that can empower countless others on their own journeys,” and reminded guests that “when you empower a woman, you transform a generation.”

Executive coach Dr Laila St Matthew-Daniel praised the work as “a rare blend of sincerity and substance… it invites, offers presence, offers truth.”


Executive Director at Oando, Ayotola Jagun, called it “a roadmap and companion for anyone navigating growth, change or self-discovery,” crediting the chapters with guiding her through a pivotal career transition.

Arts and reflection framed the ceremony, as literary enthusiast Bolu Sofowora delivered an emotive rendition of The Journey Within; a poem written by the author that opens the book.

Government and Corporate leaders—including Ogun State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development Hon. Adijat Motunrayo Adeleye-Oladapo; Managing Director, Agro-Allied, Flour Mills of Nigeria, Mr. Sadiq Usman joined to endorse the initiative. 

Dignitaries such as Amb. Nimi Akinkugbe, Olootu Dipo Sofowora, and Brenda Nwagwu were also recognised for championing women-focused development.
