Tems, the Nigerian global sensation, is taking a powerful step to reshape Africa’s music scene by launching the Leading Vibe Initiative, a mentorship platform created to support and empower women in the industry. Known for her soulful voice and trailblazing artistry, Tems is now focusing on giving other African women the opportunity to thrive, grow, and take control of their creative journeys.
The initiative is designed to offer guidance, training, and access to opportunities that many young female artists lack. Through workshops, music production classes, and one-on-one mentorship, Tems aims to bridge the gap between talent and recognition while promoting self-confidence and ownership among women in entertainment.
Tems explained that the program’s goal is to build an environment where women can learn, collaborate, and succeed without fear of limitation. She believes African women are powerful storytellers and deserve to be represented equally in the music business. Her passion for this cause stems from her own experiences of breaking barriers in an industry often dominated by men.
The Leading Vibe Initiative will host training sessions across different African cities, inviting participants aged 18 to 35 to learn key aspects of music production, performance, business strategy, and self-management. By providing this platform, Tems hopes to create a community of empowered women who will not only make great music but also inspire others to do the same.
This vision positions Tems as not only a voice of her generation but also a mentor for the next. Her work reminds young African women that success in music goes beyond talent—it requires courage, consistency, and collaboration. Through her dedication and leadership, Tems is redefining what it means to be an African woman in music, proving that true greatness is found in helping others rise.
