Honoured with the Next Generation Award at the 2025 FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Awards

I’m beyond excited to share the news that I’ve been honoured with the Next Generation Award by Forbes Woman Africa! I'm truly grateful to God for this prestigious opportunity.

When I first began writing Chronicles of the Time Keepers: Whisked Away, I never imagined that my journey would lead me to this moment. Putting my ideas and creativity onto paper was both exhilarating and challenging, but it taught me so much about perseverance and believing in my voice. Receiving the Next Generation Award feels like a huge milestone—one that encourages me to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

What makes this win even more special is seeing my name linked with Forbes Women Africa. I’m excited to represent the creativity and drive of young people everywhere, and I hope my journey inspires others—especially girls—to step out and share their stories. We all have a unique voice and perspective, and I’m grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to share mine.

Please see the video in the link below to watch the moment I collected the award...and forgot the award, too!
