A RECEP OF OUR FIRST FLOURISH FEST THAT TOOK PLACE IN NOVEMBER 2024
Flourish Fest 2024 was an absolute blast
thanks to you!
For those new to our community, Flourish Fest is more than just an event; it’s a movement designed to empower and inspire women to think differently about technology in their lives. Last year’s theme was all about Beauty Tech, and we explored sustainability, beauty and e-commerce in South Africa.
From our dynamic panel with Londie London, Zithobe Marcheli, and our founder Ian Mangenga, to the hands-on workshops led by Amanda Sibiya, Clarissa Magunde, and Phaello Tshabalala. Every moment was packed with insights, growth, and powerful conversations.
A huge shoutout to our pitch competition judges—Mmorongwa Mdletshe, Mashudu Mudau, Katlego Tshetlo, and Nyasha Batidzirai—who helped crown our winner, Sizakele Masengemi, founder of Everything Beauty Bar!
We can’t wait to see how her business flourishes.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without our incredible partners—Dove, Tresemmé, Red Bull, for keeping the energy up!, and BlackBrick Hotels for hosting us so beautifully. And let’s not forget the amazing pop-up brands, Pineapple Cosmetics, Bophelo Fragrances, and most importantly, YOU, our attendees!
📸 Relive the magic
Stay tuned for Flourish Fest 2025!
Keep flourishing! 🌱✨
