We spend a remarkable amount of time telling girls who they should become, often before they have finished discovering who they are. Apparently, growing up comes with a job description nobody remembers applying for.
In Issue 55, our cover girls, Isabel Idibia and Princess Sade Obaitan, remind us that famous surnames and royal titles may introduce you, but they should never define you.
From girls conquering oceans and swimming pools to conversations about beauty, culture and ambition, this edition examines the expectations we inherit and the courage required to question them.
In Find Her Light, I also reflect on the careers I might have pursued and why discovering another gift does not invalidate the life we have already built.
Perhaps that is the lesson running through these pages: identity is not a finished manuscript.
Every girl deserves the freedom to write her own story. And every woman deserves another chapter.
