About
LeadHERs: Life Lessons from African Women is a large-scale editorial illustration and publishing collaboration created in partnership with Facebook. For this project, I was commissioned to create the illustrations and visual design for the West African features, collaborating alongside leading artists from North, South, and East Africa.
​
The book brings together inspiring personal stories from African women who have navigated challenges, leadership, and success across different industries. Each chapter centres on a lived experience and the lessons learned along the way, translated into expressive and culturally resonant visual storytelling.
​
With over 5,000 printed copies distributed across 15 countries, including Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Liberia, and Senegal, the project demonstrates both continental creative collaboration and large-scale cultural impact.
