Nuvia nació de una convicción sencilla pero urgente: El futuro de África depende de que se curen sus heridas ocultas.

For years, I carried a desire to give back to the community that raised me. At first, I imagined opening an orphanage, but I hesitated. I feared creating something I couldn’t be present for, something that might leave children vulnerable. Then one day, I realized that my fear itself pointed to a deeper truth: the silent pain we don’t address becomes the cycle we repeat.
As I mentored women over the past four years, I saw a common thread: so many were living with unspoken trauma. They had seen their mothers endure pain and assumed it was normal. Feelings were buried, questions were left unanswered, and the wounds quietly shaped their lives.

I know that reality firsthand. In my own journey, I faced seasons of deep struggle. Years where I thought I had simply “lost focus,” when in truth, I was fighting depression I couldn’t name. Like many African daughters, I was taught to be strong, to stay silent, to never let my struggles be seen as an excuse to fail.

Pero el silencio no es fuerza. La sanación es.

Nuvia exists to break that silence. We believe that if we reach girls early, before decades of hurt settle in, we can give them the tools to heal, to understand their worth, and to make decisions from a place of clarity and confidence. This is not just about mental health; it’s about reclaiming Africa’s strength, one girl at a time.

Comenzamos con las mujeres jóvenes, no porque los hombres no necesiten sanación, sino porque este es el camino que yo he recorrido. Mi esperanza es que nuestro trabajo inspire a otros a crear espacios similares para los niños, porque todas las vidas merecen la oportunidad de sanar y prosperar.

Si queremos una África fuerte y próspera, primero debemos ganar la guerra interna. El cambio comienza aquí, y comienza ahora.

Juntos, podemos ayudar a las niñas a sanar, crecer y liderar.

Tu voz puede ser parte de este cambio.
