Her Future, Our Mission.
Our Story: From a Fisherman's Daughter to Building a Future for Her
Hello, we're Ella and Larisa, the sisters behind Create Her Future Initiative.
Our story doesn't start with us. It starts with a fisherman and a tailor...our parents. They taught us the meaning of relentless hustle and the transformative power of an education. Our dad poured every Naira he had into our schooling, believing it was the key that would unlock a world of opportunity. He was right. That belief carried us from Nigeria to America.
But our journey also holds a painful truth. From a young age, I (Ella) learned a harsh lesson about the vulnerability of women and girls. The sexual trauma I endured lit a fire in me; a fierce, unyielding determination to create a world where no girl has to live in fear, where every woman has the power to write her own story.
That fire is what binds us. Larisa, a mom and entrepreneur, brings the heart of a builder; she knows how to nurture growth from the ground up.
Together, we asked one powerful question: What if we could give women not just aid, but agency?
We believe the answer lies at the intersection of faith, opportunity, and technology.
Our faith is our anchor. It’s the source of our conviction that every woman, regardless of her past or her circumstances, is destined for a future of dignity and purpose. In a world where that dignity is often threatened, our mission is to defend it.
Create Her Future Initiative is our answer.
We're not just offering a handout. We're engineering a hand-up. We meet a woman's immediate needs because you can't learn to code on an empty stomach. Then, we arm her with the most powerful tool of our generation: AI. We equip her with skills, connect her with capital, and surround her with a global community of sisters.
This is how we break cycles. This is how we transform trauma into triumph.
We're rewriting the future for underserved women and girls... one AI workshop, one grant, and one unbreakable hustle at a time. Thank you for stopping by. Lets create HER future together.
With love,
Ella & Larisa

       Basic Needs (Africa)In Africa, we’re breaking the cycle of poverty. We ensure underserved and marginalized women in rural villages have the basic necessities; food, water, safe shelter, because stability is the first step toward ambition. You can't dream big on an empty stomach.

       Education & Digital Upskilling (Africa)We equip underserved women and girls with education, laptops/wifi, and digital/vocational skills so they can build high-income careers or start businesses in their local communities.

       AI Community & Events (U.S.)70% of jobs will require AI skills by 2030. Women are already being left behind. We’re pledging to reskill the global workforce — before it’s too late. In the US, we are building the hottest Gen Z women’s community for AI and the future-of-work. Think hackathons, AI bootcamps, and learn-AI-tools-while-sipping-matcha pop-ups.
