Hey ladies and gents! I want to share with you all something I’ve been working on for almost 2 months now. I recently joined the Memunatu Magazine team as a campaign manager for their Indiegogo campaign. Memunatu is a classroom magazine for teenage girls in West Africa that promotes literacy, leadership, and empowerment. This start-up was founded by two friends of mine (fellow Penn alums of Sierra Leonean descent). I am deeply passionate about African development, so this is a cause I hold dear to my heart. If you are in the Philadelphia area, we’ll be hosting a launch event (information below). And even if you’re not in Philly, please do donate to our campaign (see link below), thanks!
