GWIB meeting ignites inner child

GLENWOOD Women in Business (GWIB) were encouraged to bring out their inner child when they gathered for their monthly meeting at The Grand White on Friday with Nicola van Turha of Nicky's Fluid Art as co-host. Under the theme 'Igniting Your Inner Child', the women were asked to bring a childhood photo to remind them of their carefree younger selves. The atmosphere was filled with warmth, laughter, and genuine connection as the women from all walks of business came together to share, connect, and be inspired. 'The event opened with a touching activity where attendees brought photos of themselves from before the age of 10 — a gentle reminder to reconnect with their younger selves. A fun and interactive guessing game followed, where women matched the childhood photo to the person. When guessed correctly, the woman would stand, introduce herself and her business, and share a bit of her journey. This activity sparked laughter, storytelling, and heartfelt moments of connection,' said host Janine De Jesus, who delivered an uplifting message about embracing the unexpected.

Two lucky attendees were chosen in a draw to take part in a live painting experience, creating art in motion that symbolised creativity, expression, and flow. The GWIB meets once a month at The Grand White on 1 Jacques Road. It was formed more than five years ago as a space to empower and uplift women in business. In its early days, the group gathered regularly, once a month or every second month, at Glenwood-based venues, creating a close-knit, supportive network. Although the momentum slowed down around the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, the spirit never disappeared, and this year it was relaunched with renewed energy and purpose.
