This International Women’s Day/Month, in line with the 2026 theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” we’re spotlighting four young women whose stories show why access to skills, safe spaces, and opportunity matters so every woman and girl can thrive.
Oyinkansola Gbolagunte professional makeup artist/beauty entrepreneur and Founder of Care For Her Initiative shares how she has been able to merge both worlds, building her makeup artistry career while channeling it into purpose by empowering women through entrepreneurship skills.
Esther Aderibigbe, a cybersecurity analyst, shares her journey into the world of cybersecurity, navigating a highly technical space, the challenges she has faced along the way, and how perseverance, continuous learning, and purpose have shaped her path.
Bolanle Obidare, a chemical engineer, shares how an idea from her sister and dad grew into a full career and how she thrives in a male-dominated space.
Timi Etete, a beauty aesthetician, shares her journey from overseas to becoming certified, building her skincare brand, and supporting clients through skin concerns tied to confidence and emotions.
These women have not just shared stories they’ve taken action, and they’re reminding you that you are not alone. Whether you’re making career decisions, navigating a male-dominated field, or transitioning into something new, you are seen, valued, and heard and you deserve the rights, justice, and opportunities that help you grow.
Keep going. Don’t stop.
