March 4 | Rest, Refresh, and Replenish: Discovering New Opportunities

Thursday, March 4 | 2:30 – 3pm

Join attorney, businesswoman, and advocate for women, Ifeoma “Iffy” Ibekwe, as she speaks on how to start a business and prioritize margin in a woman’s life. She will discuss leveraging rest to turn talents into capital. Iffy encourages women to preserve agency and provides step-by-step actions to overcome inertia and live without regret.

As the principal attorney at Ibekwe Law, PLLC, Iffy Ibekwe believes that every woman deserves to make decisions that affect her with wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents. Emboldening women is Iffy’s calling, and she is also passionate about speaking about entrepreneurship and supporting other women lawyers who desire to practice estate planning law. Iffy graduated from The University of Texas at Austin (undergrad and law school) and has practiced law for 13 years. She is the board president for Be the Bridge, a national nonprofit dedicated to racial justice and reconciliation. When she is not spending time with her remarkable husband and four spirited children, Iffy runs her signature We Read Her book club, which focuses on the study and discussion of literature authored by women of color.
