Nassau, The Bahamas….Choir director and award-winning singer Adrianna Munnings has just been named the featured soloist for the 2nd Annual Kingdom Women in Business Conference Super Saturday Session which will close out the three day event on February 28th. The Andros native who recently became an internet sensation with her tribute song to President Barack Obama will be performing one of the songs from her soon to be released debut album.
“Adrianna is someone who has lived our KWIB conference theme Transition from Trial to Triumph in the past year,” says KWIB founder Melisa Hall. “Like so many others, she’s lost more than one job, then she was unable to afford to be represented by an international agency. Yet, she kept her eyes on the prize and a song in her heart and because of her song Let Freedom Reign that was inspired by Barack Obama’s Presidential win, she has become one of the few Bahamian women who are now gaining an international following because of her music. We could have chosen anyone from abroad to perform but at KWIB, we invest into the lives of Bahamian women and felt that we should work with a performer on the verge of going global.”Kingdom Women in Business, one of the region’s fastest growing women’s groups will be hosting annual conference at the British Colonial Hotel from February 26 through 28. Speakers for this year’s event include Mount Tabor’s Patrice Ellis, Sherika Brown of the Iron Network and remarks will be brought by Minister of State for Social Services the Hon. Loretta Butler Turner. For more information, visit the group’s Facebook page or www.kingdomwomeninbusiness.org

The Expo is a prelude to the group’s annual conference set for February 26 through 28 at the British Colonial Hilton Hotel.


Nassau, The Bahamas… In keeping with their mandate to provide networking opportunities to provide women with ways to increase, enhance or even start their own companies, Kingdom Women in Business (KWIB) will be holding an expo this Saturday February 7th at the Mall at Marathon.
The free exhibition will give women the opportunity to meet some of KWIB’s successful members and see some of their products up close. KWIB members who provide business services will offer valuable free advice in their areas of expertise including law, management, finances, image, public relations and more.
“The expo is a prelude to our annual conference and gives women the chance to see how ordinary women can transition themselves into being extraordinary women,” said KWIB founder Melisa Hall. “In fact, this is our first business expo for the year and we are thrilled to see what has been developed by our members. We will be taking the time to answer any questions from the general public as well as give persons the chance to sign up for our conference. So many times, we want to reach out to women but because people are a bit busy during the week we decided to meet them in a high traffic area and set up in a place where they won’t have to stray far away from their normal routine. All in all, it’s another part of our community outreach and we are simply blessed to push women to walk in their purpose.”
