From Struggle to Strength…
In 2025, NABFEME will celebrate a significant milestone – our 25th Anniversary and 25 years of service! From humble beginnings… what better way to bring everyone together to celebrate than the NABFEME International Women’s Leadership Summit? The Summit is a unique 3-day empowering experience that is culturally diverse, community-inclusive, and gender-friendly. This event serves as a professional gathering and learning platform that attracts entrepreneurs, business women, and mid to senior-level entertainment executives.
The Theme
With a heavy focus on our next chapter of progress and beyond, NABFEME has spent 25 dedicated years to advancing education, promoting equity, empowering individuals, and advocating for inclusion. Drawing inspiration from the Bible verse of Deuteronomy 28:13 … we have embraced the theme “Above Only” for 2025. With the belief that we will only move upward, forward and never downward, “Above Only” celebrates the trajectory of the NABFEME 25th Anniversary and serves as the mantra for the 2025 International Women’s Leadership Summit. This event serves as a platform for cultural learning and understanding, attracting individuals of all ages and interests. As we celebrate 25 years in business, our theme “”Above Only” aims to empower women in entertainment and business, and to draw in innovative trailblazers who are poised to redefine the role of women in the workplace, the community, and the music and entertainment industry.
What To Expect
The weekend is accentuated by powerful speakers, industry leaders and our popular Signature Events, including The Celebrity Mom Luncheon, The Stiletto & Lady Mogul Awards, Shero Honors, and the Women Who Jam Showcase. Plus for the 2025 gathering, we’re working on a Women of Hip-Hop special! These are women who were the glue of the culture, whether on the scenes, behind the scenes or in the scenes… you’ll learn how the wheels of hip-hop really turned! Our seminars will feature some of the most innovative and well-known individuals in entertainment and business, from singers and actors to CEOs, specialists, executives and more.
What Do We Need?
Most importantly… YOU! We need volunteers, worker-bees, ideas, boots on the ground, hands, bodies, support… WE NEED YOU!
