This week, Forward Generation Africa will be featuring young African minds recognized by @forbesafrica on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2026 for their remarkable impact.
Not just to celebrate their success, but to unpack the journeys, lessons, mindset, and decisions behind it all.
Because sometimes all it takes is seeing someone elseโs journey to realize:
โWaitโฆ maybe I can do it too.โ ๐
โก
We congratulate those who made it to the list among these are;
@dayoadedejii from ๐ณ๐ฌ
@Ndiilo_Nthengwe from ๐ณ๐ฆ
@Ellysavatia from ๐ฐ๐ช
@AyebareDenise from ๐บ๐ฌ
@SosaSariO from ๐ณ๐ฌ
Dickson Agyei from ๐ฌ๐ญ
Cyprian Makongoro from ๐น๐ฟ
Thapelo Nthite from ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Among others.
Not because they had life figured out.
Not because they had all the answers.
But because they started.
Started with an idea.
Started with a dream.
Started before they felt ready.
And today they somewhere.

Itโs a wrap. The week comes to an end but we want to hear from the youth in Africa.
๐จ End of Week Question:
Be honest ๐
If Africa gave every young person $10,000 today, what are you doing with yours?
๐ Starting a business?
๐ Investing in education?
๐ Solving a community problem?
โ๏ธ Catching flights?
๐ฑ Building the next big app?
No wrong answersโฆ weโre just trying to see where Generation Africaโs mindset is ๐

What does Forward Generation Africa (FGA) stand for?
๐น Advocacy that produces solutions, not just complaints.
๐น Civic engagement that translates ideas into action.
๐น A generation that believes Africaโs greatest resource is its youths
This is the generation weโre building.
Africa doesnโt need another generation waiting for change.
It needs a generation creating it. We refuse to be defined by the challenges of our continent. We choose to be part of the solutions. To every young African with a vision for a better life,follow us to create this change!

Young people today are being hooked into using new tobacco and nicotine with many false marketing tactics by the industry to lure them. Today on Gen Z Agenda at 8:30pm, we discuss these and so much more ahead of WNTD 2026 on 31st May. @wkmaina2006@PEbusu@GUTobaccoCtrl
Why Africaโs mental health crisis needs a Bantu cure.
Each morning begins with โWasuze otya?โ which translates to โHow was your night?โ or โDid you sleep well?โ Though it appears ordinary, even mundane, the greeting serves a deeper purpose. It is a daily emotional checkโin disguised as etiquette https://t.co/Cfsn3sbIvo
Africa is forgetting itself.
Every elder who passes takes a library with them. No written record. No archive. Just memory, fading.
We're building the archive Africa never had.
We don't bite, but we write. ๐๏ธ

In many countries, 13-15 year olds are overtaking adults in vape use. This is a trap.
Tobacco companies are targeting young people whose brains are vulnerable to nicotine addiction.
And vaping can harm more than you think:๐ง Nicotine is highly addictive and impairs brain devโt.
