- Stories, Impact & Insights of African Women Leaders
Throughout Africa’s history, women have consistently been at the forefront of progress—leading liberation movements, driving post‑conflict recovery, and shaping industries across the continent. Women in leadership is not a new phenomenon in Africa; it is part of the continent’s legacy.
Our Rising Woman Africa – Parts I & II celebrate the visionaries, innovators, entrepreneurs, and creatives who continue to uplift their families, communities, and industries—even in the face of unprecedented global challenges. Their contributions span politics, social impact, the arts, healthcare, finance, business, and more.
As the continent continues to rebuild and reimagine its future, these changemakers remind us of the power of resilience and leadership. Their stories illuminate the path forward—and reaffirm that Africa’s progress is powered, in no small part, by the women who lead it.
“Rising Woman Africa” by Oni Aningo is a series of books highlighting the stories, impact, and insights of African women leaders in various fields, available on Amazon. The series includes editions celebrating women in business and leadership across the continent, focusing on resilience, empowerment, and gender equality

- Our Reason
The Inspiration Behind the Rising WOMAN Project
Our founder’s mother was the inspiration behind the Rising WOMAN project.
In 2018, following her mother’s diagnosis with dementia, our founder identified a phenomenon she called Silent Leadership, where the voices of women in Africa remain unheard, their potential untapped, and their tireless dedication to family, community, and the continent overlooked.
Her mother’s experiences were shaped by the harrowing 1967 Biafra war that devastated the Igbo tribe in Nigeria. The war brought extreme poverty, famine, violence, and widespread PTSD, leaving lasting scars on everyone, including her mother.
The Rising WOMAN Series, Africa Edition was created in partnership with Forbes Africa as a tribute to her mother and a celebration of all African women and global women impacting the continent.
Six years later, this legacy continues with the Global Women Impacting the World series on NBC, which is supported by a five-year publishing contract.
