Little Black Dress celebrates third year
Empowering Namibian women
Little Black Dress celebrates its third year with an event on 15 April at the Avani Hotel under the theme “You versus You”.The event, which was the brainchild of Liezel Ndjaronguru, the owner of Divas and Gents Fitness Centre, intends to empower and inspire every girl child in their quest to discover themselves.
In her introductory remarks during a private sponsorship handover event at Old Mutual, Ndjaronguru explained what this year’s theme is centred around.
“We are competing against ourselves, so the only person who can prevent us from achieving wealth and prosperity is ourselves. Instead of being the one who defeats you, keep working to improve yourself. Continue training, combat, and compete to better who you were before.”
Ndjaronguru said that the event provides a platform for influential and distinguished women to share their wisdom and experiences with the ladies in attendance.
Speaking at the handover, Old Mutual’s group marketing, public affairs and sustainability executive, Mignon du Preez, said her company is “proud to be associated with events such as these that truly empower Namibian women. This event falls in line with our sustainability pillars and we look forward to joining the event.”
Poiyah Media founder Ilke Platt welcomed Old Mutual on board, underlining the importance of sponsoring events like these.
“It is time to work smarter, not harder and look for partnerships between larger organisations who share the same interests. Over the past two years, this event welcomed various sponsors to share our objectives through empowering women that influence society. It is an honour to be associated with a credible brand and we look forward to other fruitful partnerships to benefit both organisations,” Platt said.
Online nutritionist Meike Rubow, owner of mmacht.health, is one of the guest speakers and who focuses on the importance of a nutritional diet and body transformation. “I believe that the biggest factor in developing a healthy eating lifestyle is a positive, determined frame of mind. There is no magic fix to body transformation; to be and look healthy, you must eat well and live a healthy lifestyle,” she said.
Little Black Dress also features Veronika Theron, Erna Motinga, Cassia Sharpley and Mignon du Preez with entertainment by gospel sensation Maranatha.
