In a beautiful display of sisterhood and elegance, former Miss Nigeria and lifestyle influencer Beauty Tukura teamed up with The Macallan to host an exclusive gathering in honor of International Women’s Day. The event, which took place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the refined Macallan Lounge within Kaly Restaurant, Lagos, was designed to spotlight the resilience, achievements, and collective power of the Nigerian woman.
The evening drew a distinguished crowd of cultural tastemakers and media powerhouses. Among those in attendance were prominent figures such as Toyosi Etim-Effiong, Denise Eseimokumoh, Vanessa Obioha, Doris Ogah, and Modella Apet. Their presence underscored the event’s goal of bringing together a vibrant network of women who are actively leading and championing empowerment across various professional sectors.
During the gathering, Beauty Tukura spoke passionately about the necessity of building intentional environments where women can truly thrive through mutual support. She noted that the people a woman chooses to surround herself with significantly influence her mindset, personal growth, and life choices. For her, International Women’s Day serves as a vital yearly reminder that a strong, supportive community is the backbone of individual success.
The night was more than just a social mixer; it was a curated experience in craftsmanship and excellence. Guests were treated to a specialized whisky tasting session guided by brand ambassador Daniel Atteh, which added a touch of heritage and sophistication to the evening. The atmosphere remained one of warmth and camaraderie as conversations flowed freely among the attendees.
A central theme of the night was the 2026 IWD message, “Give to Gain.” This concept sparked deep discussions among the guests, emphasizing the idea that true empowerment is a reciprocal journey. The consensus throughout the room was clear: when women take the time to pour into one another and share their experiences, the entire community gains a stronger foundation for future achievements.
