The Lady Boss Campaign is a collaboration between LadyBiba and Gazmadu Studios, in partnership with BellaNaija, with the sole purpose of equipping women to stand up and own their narratives. The campaign has consistently celebrated successful women across different industries and shared their unique stories with the world.
This collaboration began when the creative directors of both brands, Bisola Adeniyi (Founder LadyBiba) and Yagazie Equare, (Founder, Gazmadu Studios) met initially in 2017 at the Future Awards.
Their paths crossed again at the TFD Business Masterclass in 2018 where they bonded after discussions concerning running a business in Nigeria and their shared interests in hiring majorly female staff. The ‘Lady Boss’ Portraits was launched for the first time in 2019 after conversations continued about how important it is for women to own their narrative.
2019 maiden edition was themed “Own Your Story” and it featured women like Lala Akindoju, Sola Adesakin, Kemi Onabanjo, Yolanda Okereke, amongst others. Over 20 women were a part of this movement
The theme for the year 2020 was ‘Be Your Beautiful’. Through this campaign, Beautiful was redefined as a woman’s authenticity, not generic standards and the campaign had amazing women involved, like Iroghama Ogbeifun, Abimbola Balogun, Oluwatosin Olaseinde among others.
2021 came with the theme “Be your story”. This was a movement to raise women to walk their talk. This campaign kicked off with the official campaign shoot featuring Rolake Akinkugbe-Filani, Tosin Osinowo, Yeside Olayinka-Agbola, Yejide Rosewe, and Ada Osakwe.
In 2022, it was about ‘Winning together,’ as the campaign showcased amazing female relationships across different age groups, work/business dynamics, and industries – winning together! This aimed to encourage more female partnerships, collaborations.
For Winning Together, featuring Dynamic Duos like: Eloho Eweniyi, Odunayo Eweniyi, Candide Johnson Olatowun, Yemi Keri, Jola Ayeye, FK Abudu, Somachi Ukiri and Simbo Ukiri.
