Ebony King: Elevate Her UK was born out of my experience as a teen | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Like a phoenix, Ebony King is rising from the ashes of adversity and inspiring others to do so through her story. A Youth advocate, community leader, and mental health first aider, Ebony is the founder of Elevate Her UK, a non-profit organisation that provides support to vulnerable teenage girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds, where they are mentored, offered skill-based empowerment workshops and outreach.

Since the establishment of Elevate Her UK, she has been able to raise a fully qualified and trained team who, through their life experiences, provide mental health support, inspiring empowerment workshops and outreach, enhancing entrepreneurship and employability skills in young people.

The young girls I support would share certain experiences with me and I was just shocked that these things were still happening. I was even more disgusted when I found out these things were happening in schools and children were not being safeguarded enough. When I was younger, older men harassed my friends and me, so I was able to understand how frustrated my beneficiaries were.The journey so far has had highs and lows.

Due to my past experience of being a teenage mum in emergency accommodation, we often do outreach in mother and baby hostels within the UK and Atlanta, Georgia. We distribute feminine hygiene products and baby wipes and nappies.In March 2022, women’s empowerment month, Elevate Her partnered with ASDA, a popular supermarket in the community. ASDA provided sanitary towels and feminine hygiene products to give to homeless teenage girls and young women.
