Leadership Session with Ana Laqeretabua: “Self-Leadership Before Leading Others”

On Tuesday, 30 September 2025, some of our members gathered at the Suva Business Centre for an inspiring leadership session with Ana Laqeretabua, who spoke on the theme “Self-Leadership Before Leading Others.”

Ana shared practical lessons and personal reflections from her own leadership journey, focusing on the importance of self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-growth as the foundation for effective leadership. She reminded participants that leadership begins with understanding and managing oneself before guiding others.

The interactive session encouraged participants to reflect on their own leadership styles, embrace feedback, and cultivate emotional intelligence and authenticity in their work and relationships.

The evening concluded with a Q&A session, where members shared their experiences and takeaways on personal growth and leadership development.

A big vinaka vakalevu to Ana Laqeretabua and everyone who joined and contributed to an evening of learning, reflection, and connection.

In early September, Women in Media Fiji (WiMFiji) participated in two key initiatives focused on women’s economic empowerment and youth engagement.

These activities provided opportunities to contribute to national policy discussions, support young leaders, and highlight the critical role of women in media and society.

1. Youth Parliament Week Panel Discussion
Date: 10 September 2025 | Venue: PIFS, Suva

WiMFiji also participated in a panel discussion during Youth Parliament Week, engaging young leaders on the role of women in media and democratic participation.

The session highlighted WiMFiji’s work as a platform for women content producers, providing mentorship, professional development, and advocacy on issues such as work-life balance, and domestic violence.

2. Socialisation Meeting on Fiji Women’s Economic Empowerment National Action Plan (WEE NAP)
Date: 11 September 2025 | Venue: Suvavou House, Suva

WiMFiji participated in the WEE NAP socialisation meeting hosted by the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Protection. The session reviewed the endorsed National Action Plan, validated the implementation matrix, and strengthened collaboration to advance women’s economic empowerment.

This week, WiM Fiji and PANG hosted a breakfast at Yue Lai, Flagstaff, with the visiting Jubi Media Papua delegation — including Victor Mambor (Co-founder), Juliana Lantipo (Editor), and independent filmmaker Dandy Laksono.

The 3-member team shared openly about their work documenting human rights abuses and conflict in West Papua. Over breakfast, they spoke about the threats, discrimination, and challenges they face on a regular basis. These risks, they said, have become part of daily life.

Yet they persist, because: “If we don’t, who will ensure the voices and issues of West Papua are heard?”

They also shared on the personal and organisational strategies they use to keep reporting under such conditions, offering valuable lessons in resilience and solidarity for Fijian journalists.

Despite a busy news week with the Supreme Court hearings, Flying Fijians Test prep, and Deans rugby, the breakfast was an important moment to pause, connect, and share experiences with colleagues.
