Meet Faith Stevens, a.k.a. ‘DJ Electra’
My key highlight from the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs program was the networking opportunity it afforded me. Before now, I never knew the relevance and impact of networking in business, but since I graduated from AWE, my net worth has grown immensely.
What is the most significant change that you have experienced in your personal and professional life as a result of participating in the exchange program?
I am happy to say the program has empowered me to become a relevant consultant for my business and other businesses. I have had a mind-blowing increase in my income. My six months income has increased from 2.5 million naira to 7 million naira, and that is incredible! The significant changes are countless, but the networking effect is the primary driver behind them.
How are you paying forward the impact of the USG exchange program on your personal and professional career?
Upon my graduation, I registered my NGO, DJ Electra Charity Organization. This NGO will be sponsoring an Epilepsy Awareness Course, the development of sports facilities in institutions and local communities, and humanitarian assistance, especially for the elderly. I am also currently having charity events themed, Electrified Energy. Funds raised from this event are donated to support projects done at the NGO.
What fun or unexpected thing did you experience during your exchange program?
The karaoke performance with fellow AWE women has to be one of my most memorable moments. I loved it!
List any awards, scholarship, recognition or promotion that you have received as a result of the impact of the USG exchange program on your personal or professional life.
The Committee members of the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs Alumni Association (AWEAA) commended me for my support during the first annual conference held in Lagos, where I offered musical services for free.
