She Leads Africa, the continent’s leading platform for African women entrepreneurs, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, marking a decade of programs, partnerships, and initiatives aimed at supporting and connecting young African women.
Since its founding, She Leads Africa has engaged millions of people online and supported thousands of women in person across cities including Lagos, London, Nairobi, and Johannesburg. The organization has focused on providing both practical business skills and community support, creating platforms where women can connect, learn, and grow.
According to co-founder Yasmin Belo-Osagie, “Back then, we didn’t have all the answers — but we had conviction. We believed that African women were not waiting to be ‘empowered.’ We were already leading — building businesses, shaping communities, reimagining the future. All we needed was a platform to connect, to learn, and to be seen.”
Over the past decade, She Leads Africa has trained entrepreneurs, supported startups, and hosted summits, consistently emphasizing the creation of spaces—both digital and physical—where women can pursue ambitious goals and share their successes. Partnerships with organizations across industries have been key in enabling the platform to expand its reach and impact.
Looking forward, She Leads Africa aims to scale programs that expand access to skills development and unlock greater economic opportunities for African women. The organization sees a generation ready to lead, innovate, and drive growth across the continent.
To provide a detailed account of its work and measurable impact over the past ten years, She Leads Africa has published its 2025 Impact Report, which includes insights into programs, success stories, and the transformative outcomes of its initiatives.
