Women Maker Series Is Building a New Future for African Women with Roots & Wings in 2026
A powerful look into how the Women Maker Series (WMS) is transforming the lives of African women through healing, skill-building, entrepreneurship, and global visibility. With the 2026 edition introducing the WMS Marketplace and a global pre-event workshop, the movement continues to expand beyond physical gatherings — giving women both roots for grounding and wings to rise.
Lagos, Nigeria, 9th Dec 2025 – In March 2025, hundreds of women walked into WMS with questions — and left with answers, clarity, skills, and sisterhood. The Women Maker Series began as a simple idea: create a place where women could learn, heal, and build sustainable lives.
A year later, the vision is expanding — and so are the women.
New for 2026: A Marketplace Where Their Stories Can Travel
One of the most exciting additions to WMS 2026 is the WMS Marketplace, a 2-week digital store created to help women’s work reach new places — homes, cities, and countries they’ve never stepped into. It is free to sign up, designed to spotlight women makers who often lack access to global exposure.
“The marketplace is our way of extending empowerment beyond the physical event,” says Winnie Okpapi. founder of the Women Maker Series. “We want women to earn, grow, and be discovered — not just in Lagos, but anywhere in the world.”
For many women, this is more than a store — it is a runway.
It is the first time their creations will be seen by audiences beyond their neighborhood, their city, or their country.
A January Workshop to Prepare Women for the Journey
Before the March event, WMS will host a January pre-event workshop — a global online session that teaches confidence, creativity, and entrepreneurship. It’s designed for women who need that first spark, that first nudge, that first whisper of “you can do this.”
March 2026: A Place to Root & Rise
This year’s theme, Roots & Wings, reflects the double journey of African women — the need to stay grounded, while daring to fly.
WMS 2026 will bring together:
- women seeking healing
- women seeking profit
- women seeking community
- women seeking themselves
Workshops, therapy, enterprise labs, childcare, free meals — every detail is designed to remind women that they matter.
A Movement Worth Joining
WMS has grown from a single event into a living, breathing community. And women across Africa — makers, dreamers, creators — are being invited into something powerful.
