HM Queen Wa Arian Simone Champions Economic Empowerment at Women Allying Women Conference 2025

Cape Coast, Ghana – September 8, 2025

Her Majesty Queen Wa Arian Simone of the Village of Dawa Grand Bereby, Côte d’Ivoire, and Olori Atuwatse III, Queen Consort of the Warri Kingdom, Nigeria, brought royal influence and powerful advocacy for women’s empowerment to the 2025 Women Allying Women (WAW) Conference held in Cape Coast, Ghana.

This year’s event, themed “Collective Power, Lasting Impact: Women Leading Ghana’s Sustainable Transformation,” gathered influential women leaders from across Africa and the diaspora to explore how collective leadership can drive lasting change.

Queen Arian Simone, CEO of the Fearless Fund and founder of Fearless Freedom, featured prominently in a panel session titled “From the Crown to the Boardroom: Transgenerational Wisdom for Ghana’s Transformation.” She joined fellow women leaders in discussing how tradition, governance, and intergenerational knowledge can shape Africa’s future.

“As an African Queen committed to women’s empowerment and fair access to capital, being part of Women Allying Women is not only purposeful—it is also divine alignment,” she said. “This is more than a gathering; it is a diasporic and royal bridge rooted in legacy and destiny. I count it a privilege to do God’s work on earth, together and in fellowship.”

The conference featured a diverse lineup of accomplished women, including:

• Ambassador Elsie Appau-Ku Essi, Technical Adviser, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Ghana
• Mrs. Maame Efua Houadjeto, CEO of Ehub Ghana
• Ms. Hayat Asckhar, lawyer and Managing Partner at Ethereal Limited
• Mrs. Baaba Ankrah, CEO of GIBS Café
• Petra Aba Asamoah, General Manager at Media General Ghana
• Angela Bamford, media personality and entrepreneur
• Ms. Arabba Koomson, journalist and life coach

Queen Arian Simone’s presence underscored the mission of Fearless Freedom to fight economic inequality, champion financial inclusion, and expand opportunities for women and underserved communities across Africa and beyond.
