Sometimes, all it takes is one person doing it first for an entire generation to start thinking differently.
One woman breaks a barrier, and suddenly more girls begin to see new possibilities for themselves.
New careers. New paths. Bigger dreams.
That is how change happens.
The movement is about creating more of those moments, where African girls are given the support, opportunities, and visibility to become firsts in their own families, communities, and fields.
And every new first creates room for many more to rise after her.
Today, we encourage you to share your I AM FIRST story and inspire another girl to dream bigger.
Tag us @ Junior Achievement Africa and @ 10 Million African Girls and use the hashtag .
Also, join us to help another girl become a FIRST.
