Trailblazers is more than just a modeling and confidence-building program; it’s a movement that nurtures future leaders which currently needs help and support to achieve their goals.
It aims to teach young girls how to build confidence, enhance self-presentation, empower identity, and more.
The movement also offers services in interview preparation, runway walking and posture, posing techniques, public speaking, and effective communication skills.
“As a former Miss Teen SA 1st Princess and Teen Universe finalist, I founded Trailblazers to teach young girls how to be ‘beauties with brains.’
Our mission is to empower them with essential skills, including modeling techniques, self-esteem building, and the confidence to chase their dreams,” said Aphelele Nomangola, Founder and CEO of Trailblazers.
Since its inception in September 2024, Trailblazers has positively impacted many young girls, but we want to expand our reach to make an even greater difference in Mpumalanga.
“We dream of becoming the premier hub for grooming confident, driven young women across eMbalenhle, Secunda, and beyond,” further explained Aphelele.
To bring this vision to life, Trailblazers need a suitable venue where they can consistently host coaching sessions and events, and they are currently taking house calls.
Sponsorship with finances and resource support to cover operational expenses, workshop materials, etc.
Trailblazers are also talent scouting to connect with more aspiring young girls who would benefit from the program and coaching expansion with experts who can offer additional skills training and mentorship for the girls.
“We are passionate about making this initiative a generational legacy for our province and hope that this article will inspire the community, local businesses, and potential partners to support us,” said Aphelele in closing.
