Over 1,000 Muslim Women Gather for Bountiis Health Summit 2024 in Lagos, Nigeria
Empowering Health, Wellness, and Spirituality with Theme “Serenity Now”
Lagos, Nigeria – October 21, 2024 – The Bountiis Health Summit 2024, a groundbreaking health and wellness gathering, welcomed over 1,000 Muslim women on Sunday, October 20, at the Lekki Muslim Ummah Central Mosque. Under the theme “Serenity Now”, the summit delivered a powerful program aimed at empowering women with the knowledge and tools to address crucial health challenges while fostering a sense of peace, strength, and community.
This year’s summit featured interactive wellness sessions, free health screenings, expert panel discussions, and the launch of the first-ever Muslimah Healthy Marketplace. The marketplace supported women entrepreneurs in health and wellness, showcasing nutritious food options, fitness products, and natural health remedies for participants seeking healthy lifestyle alternatives.
Highlights of the Event:
- Women-Only Exercise and Mindfulness Sessions – The event opened with female-led fitness and mindfulness classes to teach women accessible self-care routines they can perform at home. This addressed the lack of suitable exercise spaces for Muslim women in mixed-gender gyms.
- Comprehensive Health Screenings – In partnership with several healthcare organizations, the summit offered free health screenings, including cervical cancer checks, consultations with medical experts, and general wellness assessments.
- Expert Panels and Keynote Sessions – Prominent health professionals and inspirational speakers led discussions on topics including cancer prevention, stress management, and hormonal health. The keynote speaker, Hajia Fateemah Aiyegbajeje, emphasized the importance of spirituality in finding inner peace, reminding attendees that “only in the remembrance of Allah do souls find peace.”
The summit featured three powerful panel discussions:
- “Beat the Silent Killer: Empowering Women Against Cancer” – Experts debunked myths about cancer, with cancer survivor Mrs. Oyekemi Bawahalla sharing her story of resilience and stressing the importance of early detection.
- “Stress Management” – A panel led by Coach Mariam Solate-Esinlokun and Therapist Kafayat Azeez-Fashola highlighted the link between spiritual well-being and mental health, encouraging self-care and balanced diets.
- “Hormones and Harmony” – Addressing hormonal health, this session focused on affordable dietary solutions to help women manage hormonal imbalances, emphasizing that good health doesn’t have to be costly.
The summit left a lasting impression on attendees. Shittu Shukurah called it “an organized, informative, and exciting event,” while Muttiullah Sideeqah praised the lectures as “mind-blowing and educative.” Muslimah Ayinde expressed gratitude for the valuable insights on health and self-care, saying, “Just the little things we overlook mean so much.”
