Canada-Based Nigerian Author Bologi Stephen to Convene Audere Women’s Conference, Launch Fourth Book

Canada-based Nigerian author and storyteller Bologi Stephen is set to convene the Audere Women’s Conference, a virtual gathering that will also feature the launch of her fourth book, Audere: Stories and Lessons from Women Who Dared.

The virtual conference, scheduled to take place on March 14–15, 2026, will bring together women from different parts of the world for conversations centred on faith, courage, identity, and purposeful living. The event is designed as a reflective and empowering space where participants can explore what it means to live boldly and embrace their calling without fear.

Convened by Stephen, the conference will feature speakers and interactive sessions focused on themes such as courage, authenticity, resilience, and the journey of becoming. Through storytelling and shared experiences, the gathering aims to encourage women to confront fear, rediscover their voice, and step confidently into the lives they believe they are called to live.

A key highlight of the conference will be the official unveiling of Stephen’s latest book, Audere. The book draws inspiration from the stories of women in the Bible who navigated difficult circumstances but chose faith and courage in the face of uncertainty. Through powerful reflections and storytelling, the book explores lessons on resilience, identity, and daring to live boldly despite life’s challenges.

The title Audere is derived from a Latin word meaning “to dare,” a concept that forms the central theme of both the conference and the book. Through these platforms, Stephen hopes to inspire women to challenge limitations, embrace their identity, and pursue their purpose with confidence.

Participants attending the virtual event will have the opportunity to listen to inspiring conversations, engage in discussions, and gain insights from speakers who will share perspectives on navigating life with faith, courage, and clarity.

Stephen, whose work centres on storytelling and faith-based reflections, has built a growing community of readers and listeners through her books, speaking engagements, and digital platforms. Her writing often explores themes of identity, courage, and the transformative power of personal stories.

With the release of Audere, she adds a fourth title to her body of work, continuing her journey of using storytelling to spark reflection and encourage individuals to live more boldly and intentionally.

Organisers say the conference is expected to bring together women from across continents in a shared space of encouragement, connection, and meaningful conversations about living with courage and purpose.
