More than a podcast.
A Pan-African movement for young women.
Helping young women find and use their voice while building a collective community voice to amplify topical issues affecting young people in Africa.
TWSS connects young African women through storytelling, skills, community and opportunities - turning lived experience into media, advocacy and action.
What is TWSS?
Young women are not short of ideas.
Too often, they are short of access, confidence, safe platforms and sustained networks.
Across Africa, young people are navigating decisions about health, safety, education, livelihoods, identity, leadership and their futures.
TWSS creates the space, tools and community to help them move from being audiences to becoming contributors.

The organisation behind TWSS
Africa InSight Agency (AIA)
A movement powered by purpose.
That’s What She Said (TWSS) is implemented by Africa InSight Agency (AIA), a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering young people across Africa through media, communications, storytelling and capacity-building initiatives.
AIA works to create opportunities for young people to develop their skills, share their stories and use media as a tool for connection, community participation and positive social change. Through youth-led media platforms, digital initiatives, training and collaborative programmes, the organisation helps young people move beyond being audiences of media to becoming creators, storytellers and active contributors to their communities.
TWSS is one of the initiatives through which AIA advances this mission, bringing its commitment to youth empowerment and meaningful media engagement to a growing Pan-African community.
