Voices for Her: Healing Minds and Empowering Women in Africa
Hi, I’m Temi
I am a public health professional, mental health advocate, and the founder of Voices for Her, an initiative born from lived experience, deep compassion, and a vision to make sure no woman ever has to suffer in silence.
Growing up without a mother, I battled low self-esteem, anxiety, and emotional trauma in silence. As an adult, I faced postpartum depression, overwhelmed and unsure how to ask for help. What saved me was a simple but powerful thing: a group of women who listened, supported, and reminded me I wasn’t alone.
That moment changed me. It planted a seed.
What We’re Building
Today, I’m building Mindness AI, a digital mental health platform designed to support women and girls in underserved communities across Africa. Mindness AI is a 24/7 emotional support chatbot that offers safe, stigma-free help anytime, anywhere.
This AI-powered platform is being developed under the Voices for Her initiative with support from the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub. Our goal is to create a warm, accessible space where women can begin to heal, whether from grief, postpartum depression, trauma, or anxiety.
With your help, we’re building:
• • Mindness AI :a compassionate, AI-powered chatbot for mental health support
• • Peer support groups: safe spaces for women experiencing similar struggles
• • Hospital and crisis referrals: including support with hospital bills for women and young girls after childbirth, to reduce financial strain that often worsens postpartum depression, and referrals for those needing urgent care or community help
• • Skill empowerment programs: to help women grow in confidence and financial stability
• • A volunteer Good Samaritan network: to reach women in hard-to-reach communities
Note: Mindness AI is currently being developed under the initiative “Voices for Her,” which is in the process of becoming a fully registered foundation. Your support will help us build the platform, reach women in need, and formally establish the foundation to expand our impact across Africa.
Why Your Support Matters
Far too many women are suffering in silence due to stigma, lack of resources, or emotional isolation. Your support no matter how small will help us:
• • Build and launch the AI platform
• • Develop content and self-help tools
• • Train volunteers and set up peer support structures
• • Provide early aid to women in crisis
• • Move toward formal registration of the foundation and long-term sustainability
Together, We Can Give Her Voice Back
This is more than a platform. It’s a movement of hope, healing, and human connection.
When you support Mindness AI, you’re helping a woman feel heard for the first time. You’re giving a girl the courage to heal. You’re making emotional safety accessible one story, one sister at a time.
