Access to economic power is literally the story of my life. Even when personal experiences don't align exactly, being a woman makes it easy to understand the nuances in these stories. I wanted to highlight women who may not be forward-facing but are doing powerful, transformational work.

HER is launching with two powerful episodes: 

According to, COO of Big Cabal Media and Executive Producer of the series, HER is not about representation but about reframing power. 

According to Eboigbe,

Zikoko has been covering the stories of diverse women for years on text and social formats and we thought to take it a step further with a docuseries so audiences can visualise these stories. 

We want viewers to see themselves in these women. To feel inspired, challenged, and affirmed. These are stories about navigating gender, class, faith, family and career in a society that often undermines women's agency. 

HER: The docuseries is a love letter to the many ways Nigerian women show up and show out, Eboigbe added. 

The visual identity of the series was crafted by designer Mariam Omoyele, who chose the Amaryllis flower as the core motif. 

It represents resilience, she explained, a trait I saw consistently across the women. It felt right to surround them with something that symbolises their strength and beauty.

HER is part of Zikoko’s broader Shift the Story campaign, a cross-platform initiative aimed at reshaping narratives around gender equality, women’s economic power, and reproductive health. Using media and storytelling as vehicles for impact, the campaign pushes back on outdated norms and amplifies the voices of women who are often excluded from mainstream discourse. 

At its core, Shift the Story is about showing Nigerian women as agents of change and full people with autonomy actively contributing to society said Eboigbe. It’s also about inviting men to the table as allies, as listeners, as believers in the power of equity.

Each episode of HER will center a single woman, exploring her journey in depth and offering a personal but widely resonant look at how Nigerian women survive, lead, build, and thrive. 

HER: The Docuseries launches Thursday, May 15 on Zikoko’s YouTube channel. For press inquiries, interviews, or media assets, please contact: [email protected]
