SKY Girls, a vibrant community of teen girls across Nigeria dedicated to self-expression and authenticity, proudly announces the launch of their new series, Journey to Bloom.
This teen series, an initiative supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is designed to captivate girls between the ages of 13 and 19 while appealing to boys, young adults and parents.
Set to air on Africa Magic Family every Saturday at 6:30 pm, the series integrates crucial messaging on financial inclusion, behavioural change goals, and sexual and reproductive health.
The film’s logline takes a peek behind the curtain of life as a young adult through the eyes of several characters like Tife used to explore financial inclusion amongst teenage girls, and Naima and Ajibola AKA Jibs to explore sexual and reproductive health. Yomi, Chinedu, Ajibola, and several other characters also richly explored the themes in the story.
