There is no better time than now for women to break barriers and lead boldly!

In 2020, our Founder, Debola Deji-Kurunmi announced that 2021 would kick-start a most significant rise of those she called the Future-Forward Female - bold, visionary women who would change the world and solve some of humanity’s toughest challenges.

The Future-Forward Female is every woman! She is the aspiring young girl, the emerging woman and the accomplished matriarch who carries a vision for our shared future. She believes in the power of hope, and dares to dream, against all odds.

She fights for the oppressed, speaks up for what is right, nurtures the next generation and creates solutions for our world today.

YOU are the Future-Forward Female and YOU have a part in shaping our collective prosperity.
