In line with the Women’s History Month celebration, culture publication Zikoko, a flagship platform of Big Cabal uMedia, has premiered the second season of ‘HER: The Docuseries’, an exploration of ambition, resilience, and the evolving definition of success among Nigerian women.
The series, which first debuted last year, focuses on women who have carved out space for themselves across different industries, often in environments that were not built with them in mind.
