Why Selfie Week Nigeria Created a Wellness Festival for Women

Wellness is often talked about, but how many spaces truly allow women to experience it in ways that feel engaging, practical, and inspiring? That’s what this festival set out to change. Selfie Week Nigeria believes in creating experiences that are immersive, photo-focused, and designed to empower women.

This wasn’t just about fitness or beauty. It was about giving women access to knowledge, tools, and communities that support their overall well-being—physically, mentally, financially, and creatively. It was about celebrating self-expression, fostering new connections, and giving women the chance to show up for themselves in an intentional way.

Day 1: Movement, Mindfulness & Meaningful Conversations

We started the day in the best way possible—movement and mindfulness. The morning kicked off with an invigorating yoga session led by Good Faith Yoga, setting a peaceful tone for what was to come. This was followed by dance aerobics with Coach Ryland, proving that fitness can be both fun and full of high-energy vibes.

The interactive conversation “I Met Myself” with Mrs. Debbie Boro Waritimi was a powerful session that encouraged women to reflect on their journeys and embrace self-discovery. Conversations flowed into financial wellness with Providus Bank, where women gained valuable insights on managing and growing their wealth.

As the day progressed, things got even more interactive:

• Games Fiesta led an exciting lineup of games that kept the energy up.

• Cleveramed & Uncover Skincare hosted health conversations and product giveaways, ensuring that skincare and wellness stayed front and center.

• Wingside, Wrapsody, and Go Green provided complimentary salads and sandwiches, making sure we were fueled for the day’s activities.

A definite highlight was the Treasure Hunt organized by Wingside, where attendees searched for QR codes to win discounts, free wings, and other surprise gifts. The festival was kept refreshed by Ayalla Water, and guests were treated to cold brew coffee by Marley & Blue, creating the perfect mix of relaxation and refreshment.

The music and entertainment scene did not disappoint:

• DJ Edna kept the atmosphere lively with an amazing set.

• Inima, a rising female artist from Port Harcourt, delivered a captivating live performance.

• The Afro-Latin dance session with Coach Ryland got everyone moving and completely immersed in the experience.

Day 1 was a breath of fresh air, setting a new standard for immersive wellness events in Rivers State.

Day 2: Beauty, Business & Bold Expressions

The second day began with networking and music sessions, creating an easy-going yet engaging atmosphere for attendees.

First up was the skincare conversation, “Glow in Your Confidence” with Uncover Skincare, led by Orusoso Maxwell, a skincare expert from Pure Glamour. This session gave women actionable tips on achieving healthy, glowing skin. It was followed by Everyday Glam, a beauty and makeup session by Adaugo of Arosal Artistry, proving that self-care is an essential part of self-expression.

Other standout moments included:

• Another round of financial wellness conversations with Providus Bank, reinforcing the importance of financial independence for women.

• A second Treasure Hunt with Wingside, adding a fun competitive edge to the day.

• Live performances by Naranie and Port Harcourt’s female artists, bringing soulful and vibrant sounds to the festival.

• Fashion Conversations with Akpos Okudu & JJ Couture, where style and creativity took center stage.

• A moving poetry rendition by Tonye Franklin, reminding us of the power of words and storytelling.

The DJ takeover and another high-energy Afro-Latin dance session with Coach Ryland kept spirits high, ensuring the festival ended on a euphoric note.

Beyond the Sessions: Immersive Experiences & Aesthetic Moments

The festival offered a range of immersive experiences that made every moment unforgettable. Attendees explored a hands-on crafting station, designing candles that looked like desserts, while others found artistic expression through paint therapy, creating floral-inspired canvases. The shopping experience brought together premium brands like Uncover Skincare, Akpos Okudu, JJ Couture, Wingside, and Wrapsody, giving women access to quality products. No Selfie Week event would be complete without creative photobooths, allowing guests to capture content-worthy moments.

The venue itself was transformed with breathtaking floral installations, turning every corner into a picture-perfect backdrop. But beyond the aesthetics and activities, the festival fostered a sense of community. Business owners, content creators, influencers, CEOs, fitness enthusiasts, students, and professionals came together in a space that encouraged connection, learning, and growth, making it more than just an event—it was a movement.

Why Selfie Week Nigeria Created the Wellness Festival

To make wellness a lifestyle, not just a one-time experience.
