Book Launch & Outreach: This Thing Called Teenage

Empowering the Next Generation of African Youth

On February 22, 2026, Empowered Future Africa launched This Thing Called Teenage, a dedicated personal development guide written specifically for young adults navigating purpose, personal growth, and identity.

To turn the book’s message into direct community action, our field team conducted school outreach sessions across local secondary schools in Nigeria to engage students in interactive mentorship discussions around purpose, character building, and academic success.
