Ghanaian media icon Anita Erskine has long used her voice to uplift others—but in 2025, she’s doing more than just telling inspiring stories, she’s helping shape them. As the beloved host of Sheroes of Our Time, Anita has become a household name across Africa, known for spotlighting trailblazing women and sparking powerful conversations.
Now, she’s turning that spotlight toward the next generation with a mentorship initiative focused on girls’ education, mental health, and media empowermentThis new program is more than mentorship—it’s a launchpad. Through workshops, one-on-one guidance, and real-world media experience, young women are gaining the tools to thrive in journalism, broadcasting, film, and communications. Anita is creating spaces where their voices are not only heard but celebrated. “When girls see themselves in powerful roles, they begin to believe they belong there too,” she shared at the launch of the initiative.
Beyond technical skills, the program also focuses on mental wellness and self-worth—areas Anita believes are crucial to true empowerment. From confidence-building sessions to peer support networks, young women are encouraged to see themselves as whole and capable, regardless of their background or past challenges.
Anita’s mission has always been about visibility—making sure African women are seen, heard, and valued. Whether it’s through her award-winning show or her new mentorship network, she’s using her platform to rewrite the narrative for women and girls across the continent.
By nurturing talent, building confidence, and championing education, Anita Erskine is doing more than shaping media—she’s shaping futures. Her work reminds us all that when women lift each other, entire nations rise.
