ABOUT WORKHERHOLIC · CAREERBUDDY MEDIA
Connecting 100,000 women across Africa to economic opportunities
We are transforming WorkHERholic from a media publication into the career infrastructure layer for African women. We combine editorial candor with vetted jobs, high-leverage training, executive mentorship, and data-backed tools.
Stop asking for permission. Build on your terms.
African women represent the fastest-growing cohort of entrepreneurs and tech operators on the continent. Yet salary opacity, informal old-boys networks, and corporate seniority traps continue to cost women billions in lost lifetime earnings.
WorkHERholic replaces whisper networks with verified data. Whether you are aiming for your first remote engineering contract or stepping into an executive board seat, our platform provides the tools, playbooks, and sisterhood to own the room.

How we operate
The media family discipline: assertive, sisterly, opinionated, and relentlessly useful.
Sisterly candor
We share the unvarnished compensation numbers, hiring criteria, and boardroom politics that others hide behind polite silence.
Economic agency
We don’t talk about vague inspiration. We build tactical infrastructure so women negotiate, bill, and advance from positions of absolute strength.
Pan-African solidarity
Connecting women across Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg, Cairo, and London to build regional networks that cross borders.
Zero fluff
Every article, course, mentor session, and tool is built to produce measurable career outcomes, not corporate platitudes.
