Speaker & Life Coach
Professional talks
Mavela O. Boahen is a dynamic speaker who delivers inspiring, informative and engaging talks to a diverse range of audiences.
In 2009, Mavela founded an organisation which she coined ‘Britain’s Successful Black Women’. This was an organisation that sought to support and inspire Black women in Britain to pursue their dreams and goals. As the CEO of that organisation, Mavela orchestrated networking events and invited business moguls like Kubi Springer and Jacqueliine Kennedy (of JK Luxury Weddings) to impart their knowledge and wisdom to propel women closer to their dreams and goals. Since then, Mavela has run and hosted her own workshops and networking events.
She has spoken at Dalston CLR James library, schools, youth centres, church conferences and women’s events, and has been a dynamic and inspirational interviewee on Premier Christian Radio and Sunny FM (Ghana).
After 9 years as a qualified teacher, Mavela is no stranger to standing in front of an audience and presenting a concept in an exciting, engaging and understandable manner.
Mavela’s keynote topics include:
From Small to Great!
Mavela shares her story of how she was born on the small volcanic Caribbean island of Montserrat, but had to relocate to England due to a volcanic eruption on the island. Through a moving and emotive speech, she shares her experience of relocating to a new country, detailing how she was able to navigate living and attending school in the borough of Hackney.
This talk provides insight into how she was able to attend the University of Cambridge - one of the most prestigious universities in the world - despite relocating from a small Caribbean island. The value of this talk lies in Mavela’s ability to share tips on how students can excel at school and increase their chances of attending their most preferred university!

Pursue your dreams despite failure and rejection
This is a topic that is dear to Mavela’s heart. Although Mavela had an impressive academic track record (3 A*s and 7As at GCSEs; 2As and 2Bs at A ’levels), when Mavela attended the University of Cambridge, her academic experience was different to previous institutions that she had studied at. As a result of this, her final academic result made it near impossible for her to access postgraduate study, graduate programmes and the career of her dream (a qualified primary school teacher). For a few years, Mavela found herself in careers and jobs that she was not passionate about; but in 2011, Mavela decided to put an end to this and pursue the career of her choice.
​
In this talk, Mavela encourages her listeners to rise from their area of stagnation, complacency and acceptance (‘Point B’) and she motivates them to strive for more (‘Point C’)!
Mastering Your Goals While Mothering
As a mother, do you often feel like your goals and dreams have been put on hold as you look after your little ones day in and day out? In this talk, Mavela encourages you to still envision and believe in your dreams.
She shares tips on how you can set and achieve your goals even while mothering! She will share insight on how she was able to write and publish two books while raising her children. Book Mavela now to encourage and enlighten a mother that you know!
