Founder’s Note
A Message from Glory Edozien, PhD
As a personal branding strategist for African female executives, I’ve witnessed firsthand how recognition, visibility, and community can transform careers. 9to5Chick was born out of that understanding a platform designed to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity for women across Africa.
Through mentorship, storytelling, and curated experiences, we’re building a pipeline of dynamic talent from emerging leaders taking their first bold steps to boardroom trailblazers shaping industries. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to ensure African women are seen, celebrated, and fully equipped to lead with confidence, influence, and purpose.
Our Goal
To be the largest community of career women across the African continent and diaspora.
