Hennessey Teams With Tems To Empower African Women In Music With Leading Vibe Initiative

Temilade Openiyi known as Tems has just collaborated with the Hennessey Teams to launch her own powerful initiative – Leading Vibe Initiative(LVI) in her hometown, Lagos.

This was held on the 8th and 9th of August, 2025 in Lagos and it has already made history.

Tems

This initiative was born from her self-taught and inspired by her groundbreaking work in the music industry. Tems have decided to use this initiative to empower women, especially to do more in and out of the music industry, and globally (beyond Africa)

This collaboration between Hennessy with the grammy award winning Artist and global icon, marks not just a new beginning but a powerful movement for Tems and Leading Vibe Initiative(LVI)

The first leading vibe initiative participants

The just launched initiative is here to stay and it’s mostly rooting for women who are ready to break boundaries, embrace and groom their voice, carry themselves with pride and joy, and move without fears.

The initiative is here to support, connect and amplify women in music and across Africa. It is here to offer mentorship, training, industry access, and premium community for women in music.

This is beyond a platform – it is a movement set to break odd boundaries and see women become more.

Its aim is to raise the next generation of female artists, songwriters, producers, and more – to empower women, their voice, strength and crown their efforts without minimal price.

This initiative itself is inspiring and it’s here to play a wonderful role in seeing that women in the industry and beyond are rewarded for their efforts. It is endearing seeing a woman rooting for women and ready to groom their voice beyond just a stage and see them take the mic to the global stage.
