A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF
Real stories.Bold dreams. A future shaped by women.
What if one letter could change everything?
Letter to My Younger Self is more than a book. It’s a movement.
Born from a simple yet powerful question — “What do I wish I had known?” — this project invites some of the most accomplished African women to pause, reflect, and write the letter they would have needed in their younger years.
Through their words, we discover raw truths, untold battles, and hard-won victories. We hear stories of doubt, resilience, joy, and purpose — not to idealize success, but to make it visible, human, and accessible.

Because representation isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline.
In a world where too many young women grow up without seeing themselves reflected in leadership or ambition, Letter to My Younger Self offers living proof that it’s possible — and that it’s worth it.
At the heart of the project lies a beautifully curated book and a network of voices speaking directly to the next generation: students, university graduates, early-career professionals — all those standing at the threshold of who they are becoming.
This is a place for reflection, connection, and inspiration.A place where letters become bridges.
And where every young woman can begin to imagine herself as the author of her own story
