As the global spotlight shifts to London for International Women’s Day on March 8th, 2026, the La Mode 100 Most Influential Leading Women in Africa gala is preparing to deliver a masterclass in the art of impact. Central to this experience is a highly anticipated artwork storytelling appearance by Orisakwe Emmanuel Chizitere.
Known for his unique ability to breathe narrative life into visual mediums, Chizitere is set to transform the evening into more than just an awards ceremony. His presence represents a shift toward immersive storytelling, where the art on display is not just a static object, but a living dialogue about the resilience, heritage, and “Give to Gain” philosophy that defines the 100 women being honored.
Orisakwe Emmanuel Chizitere has long been recognized as a creative who looks beneath the surface of the canvas. His approach to art is fundamentally rooted in the idea that every image carries a heartbeat and every color choice tells a history.
By bringing his storytelling expertise to the London stage, Chizitere offers a bridge between the corporate and social milestones of the honorees and the deeply personal journeys that brought them there. This storytelling appearance is designed to be a multi-sensory journey; as the gala celebrates women who have given their time, resources, and wisdom to gain a better future for Africa, Chizitere’s art will narrate those very acts of sacrifice and triumph. He understands that influence is a narrative arc, and his role is to ensure that the stories of these 100 leaders are told with the dignity and creative depth they deserve.
Taking place in a city as culturally diverse as London, the 2026 La Mode gala is a testament to the fact that African excellence is a global force. The theme “Give to Gain” serves as a reminder that the most significant influence is that which is shared.
Through the evocative storytelling of Orisakwe Emmanuel Chizitere, the evening promises to be a profound celebration of what happens when leadership meets creativity. It is a night where the 100 most influential women in Africa are not just seen, they are understood, through stories and art that will resonate far beyond the walls of the venue.
