15 years ago, I took a leap of faith to build something the world often dismisses—an organization, @wenations, rooted in the belief that young women of the African diaspora could lead social change on a global scale. Along the way, I was told “no” more times than I can count. I heard, “Nonprofits like this don’t last,” or “Maybe it’s time to try something else.” 

The truth is, 30% of nonprofits fail to exist after 10 years, but here we are. 💕

There were moments of doubt, denial, and times when the vision for what could be was minimized. But we persisted. And because of that persistence, Women Empowering Nations has reached over 9,000 young women in more than 40 countries, empowering them to lead, to rise, and to break through every barrier placed in front of them. 🌍

We are still standing because of the power and potential of this work and because of the incredible people who believed in the vision. From the mentors and supporters to the fearless young women who have gone on to lead movements, launch businesses, and change their communities. We have built a global network of leaders, together. ✨

Now, as we reflect on this journey, we have so much to celebrate. We celebrate the girls who are leading the world, the women who have paved the way, and the community that has made this possible. There is still more to do, but tonight, we honor how far we’ve come. ❤️

Join me tonight to celebrate the impact, the journey, and the future as we honor these extraordinary trailblazers: @luvvie , @jotakaeaddy, @mindaharts, @sevetriwilson, @deniasmith_, and @tewedami.

There isn’t a caption to capture the power, vision, peace and affirmation I found in Cape Town. It was such a beautiful and fulfilling gift that continues to push me closer to purpose. 

1. Some of the powerful young women we got to work with at @black.girls.rising 💕

2. Taking in the sun on a break from our Day 1 Community Building Session for GLOW Global alumni. ☀️ 24 leaders representing 8 countries across 3 continents coming together to form an undeniable global sisterhood. 🌍

3. Boat ride with the girls! We support the holistic development of social change leaders embracing wellness as an essential component for sustainability. We planned experiences for the young women to relax and enjoy the beauty of Cape Town between our training and service opportunities. 🛥️

4. 🥹 The dolphins! Absolutely beautiful. 

5. The WEN dream team who helped make all the magic happen. ✨ Beyond grateful for these women. 🙏🏾
