This mandate she expresses via the Annual Inspiring Change Conference, bi-annual “Mentor Meets Mentee”, Entrepreneurial Advancement Training for market women, the Inspiring Change Deliberately Movement, and the daily #InspiringChangeWithSunmbo virtual movement that brings hope for a fresh start with the aim to rebuild the ruins and be refurbished.

Sunmbo Adeoye has authored several books and annually brings women who have been able to bridge the gender gap in their respective professions together with women who aspire to be like them. These life transforming meetings have produced outstanding women with amazing results in business, ministry, and career.
