NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Neon-pink lights, fuchsia drapes, and a room filled with influential women set the scene on Thursday evening, as Cable Bahamas Group of Companies hosted its “A Seat at the Table” event.
The soirée held at Baha Mar’s Chapel was part of the Ignite Her series, acting as a precursor to the Inspire Her event.
It served both as the welcome dinner for the weekend’s events and as a celebration of the organization’s five years of empowering, elevating, and enriching girls and women in the community.
Among those attending were dignitaries, entrepreneurs, media personalities, and speakers taking part in the Inspire Her Conference, including international speakers like Hollywood actress Yara Shahidi, former executive of Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment Group, Janet Rollé, and marketing executive Bozoma Saint John.
Organizers created an intimate setting where guests could network, like a meet-and-greet with Bozoma Saint John.
Then came a moving Q&A with Janet Rollé, forging a connection that transcended titles.

“As women we are asked and taught to seek external validation for the way we look, for the way we dress, the way we think, the way we love. And courage is a word that tempts us to look outwardly.”
Rollé shared with the room the challenges she’s faced both professionally and personally, declaring it was affirmations delivered by her husband and father that kept her grounded.

“My dad had a saying may he rest in peace. ‘Janet they don’t make anything that’s too good for you.'”
