Founded by Patricia Secke, Africa Femmes Performantes unites women leaders and organizations worldwide to inspire change and build legacy. Our mission is to elevate voices, honor heritage, and create inclusive spaces where women thrive. We believe in the power of visibility, collaboration, and excellence to transform communities and generations.

What we Offer

Africa Femmes Performantes offers more than programs — we create transformative experiences that empower women and strengthen communities. Through international conferences and congresses, we provide platforms where voices are elevated and legacies are built. Our entrepreneurship and leadership trainings equip women with practical skills to launch businesses, lead organizations, and inspire others. With mentorship networks, we connect generations of women leaders, fostering resilience and collaboration. Our bilingual publications amplify stories of excellence, ensuring visibility across cultures. For donors and partners, we offer a trusted hub to invest in impact, with clear pathways to support women’s empowerment and Afrodescendant heritage. Every initiative we design is tailored to honor identity, celebrate achievement, and prepare women to thrive on the global stage.
