Over one million FINs

The FIN community was founded by Lola Omolola, a former Nigerian journalist. Lola is the first Nigerian woman to create a platform where other women can share their unheard tales of sexual harassment and other difficulties.

Omolola's popularity with FIN is due to various tactics, including curating engaging stories and inspiring women to interact with one another. She and others plan real-life get-togethers with community members. Lagos, Johannesburg, London, Houston, and the Washington, D.C. area were among the regions that hosted events. A team of more than two dozen moderators enforces strict ground rules. The following are some of the ground rules: don't pass judgement, don't share outside the club, and don't give unsolicited advice.

In just twenty months, she went from starting a food blog named SpiceBaby to becoming the largest community of African women on Social media, with over one million supporters. In Nigeria, the group was known as Female, and the word "FIN" became famous both online and offline. To show its global existence, it has changed its name to "Female IN."

The group has since snowballed, and its success has drawn international interest. Lola has made it possible for over a million Nigerian/African women to have a voice. They've become a force, and they've become a part of something larger. That is an outstanding accomplishment. All thanks to technology.

Social media is a godsend for Omolola, a technology that has given an immigrant woman in Chicago a global voice. She feels that if people's hearts are in the right place, they can make good use of the internet.

We think so too:)
