Girls of 21 MAG 🌸

Here's why you should already be in this chat!

Hi!

As some of you already know, we had a Telegram group chat. However, over time, we realized that no one wakes up in the morning thinking, “Oh, I should check the Telegram app”—not unless work or something else requires them to. Telegram is usually the last medium we’ll pull up when considering texting anyone. It may have great features, but it’s not all that popular.

We bravely decided to move to another platform, fully aware that we could lose the community we had built on Telegram. However, we didn't want to just add you to a new group and expect automatic engagement. We wanted to make it a choice, a choice to continue building our community together. Our goal was to create a space where women feel not just comfortable, but truly valued, heard, and seen by building fresh conversations and a new community.

And I'm thrilled to say, we’re not just succeeding, we're thriving in our new home!

We started the group and shared the link with our old Telegram community and in our newsletter. Soon, members started trooping in. Shortly after, we had our first game night.

We confirmed members’ availability and announced it, and the games began!

We ended the night by announcing our first giveaway winner!

We had even more fun engaging the community with live red carpet (fashion) ratings for the MET Gala. It was a night filled with hilarity, fun, and immense bonding.

In the midst of all this, we also launched our weekly morning routine segment called ‘Get Ready With Me For Work’ (GRWMFW).

And get this… it’s only the beginning!

Expect more giveaways, specially curated events exclusively for community members, unique insights into our plans, and much more! We’re excited to get to know you and can’t wait for you to join us!

PS: Our next game night is on May 24th, 2023. As usual, there will be a giveaway. Join the chat for more info!

If, for some weird reason, you’ve never heard of 21 MAG, allow us to introduce ourselves;

Our mission is to centre the narrative on African women by cultivating content, community and culture for them to learn, grow and thrive. We recognize the significance of shaping women’s portrayal in media and aspire to serve as a platform for exploring questions about identity, aspirations, and personal journeys. From stories on asexuality to navigating life as a blind Nigerian woman, we chronicle Nigerian youth culture through the distinctive perspective of Nigerian women.

Follow Us on Socials: We’re on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Apple Music & Spotify.

With love,

Princess, Senior Editor at The 21 Magazine 💗
