In celebration of her 25 years of creative excellence, Nigeria’s foremost dance icon, Kafayat Shafau, aka Kaffy, is set to host what she described as Africa’s biggest premium fitness and wellness convention – Transform with Kaffy.
The announcement was made at a recent press meet which was held at Alliance Française de Lagos, where the energetic creative unveiled plans for the landmark event scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at the Landmark Convention Centre, Lagos.
According to Kaffy, the upcoming convention will not be a typical fitness gathering, but a holistic wellness experience designed to realign the body, mind, and soul through expert-led sessions and culturally relevant health practices.
“It will still have the elements of fitness events, the scientific approach to living, and holistic wellness,” Kaffy said. “Let’s have everything under one roof—traditional herbs, natural remedies—so that people can understand how to work with it through expert guidance. Everyone has different opinions today, and you don’t even know what works for you anymore. But if we can have a convention that deals with wellness holistically, people can not only participate but also embody practices that they can implement in their daily lives.”
Kaffy emphasised the mental aspect of the transformation journey, stressing that “mental transformation is the foundation for physical transformation.”
“That’s why I created Transform with Kaffy. It’s not just another fitness event—it’s engaging, exciting, and powerful. But most importantly, attendees must leave the room transformed in mind,” she stated.
