Journey to Bloom features young and outstanding talents such as Ayomide Boluwatife (Tife), Judith Ushi (Naima), Isoken Aruede (Jibs), Wonuola Lanre Akinremi (Yomi), Nadia Dutch (Bibi), and Samson Imanah (Kunle).
This teen series, an initiative supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is designed to captivate girls between the ages of 13 and 19 while also appealing to boys, young adults, and parents.
The series integrates crucial messaging on financial inclusion, behavioral change goals, and sexual and reproductive health.
The film’s logline takes a peek behind the curtain of life as a young adult through the eyes of several characters, such as Tife, who explores financial inclusion amongst teenage girls, and Naima and Ajibola AKA Jibs, who explore sexual and reproductive health. Yomi, Chinedu, Ajibola, and several other characters also richly explore the themes in the story.
Set to air on Africa Magic Family every Saturday at 6:30 pm, *Journey to Bloom* plans to address common issues faced by teen girls, such as peer pressure, financial struggles, and the journey to self-discovery. The series aims to be both entertaining and educational, providing viewers with relatable scenarios and practical solutions to real-life challenges.
