Sandals encourages sisterly support at empowerment forum

SISTERLY support was the mood that resonated throughout the annual women’s empowerment forum hosted by Sandals Resorts in the Montego Bay region on April 27. Held under the theme ‘Go For It’, this year’s event saw over 200 women and girls participating in empowerment sessions.

Among the highlights was an inspiring fashion show in which models flashed placards with the ideal attributes of a go-getter, while donning items from Kokobeenz.

And, no stranger to personal and professional struggles, guest of honour, St Ann Southern Member of Parliament Lisa Hanna, also encouraged the participants through sharing her own struggles in a question-and-answer session.

Here are some highlights:
