About Me : Aminata Amilie

Hi, I'm Aminata Amilie,  the heart behind The Rise Project.
I've always believed that real change starts with small, meaningful steps. Growing up, I saw how much of a difference it makes when people come together to lift each other up. That idea has shaped so much of who I am and the work I want to do in the world.

The Rise Project is deeply personal to me. It's about giving back to the communities that raised me, inspired me, and showed me what resilience really looks like. It's about making sure that no one feels left behind ,  that every person has the tools, the support, and the encouragement they need to create a better future for themselves.

My roots are in West Africa, and they've taught me the power of community, strength, and faith. I carry those lessons with me in everything I do. Through The Rise Project, I want to help others see that no dream is too small, no goal too far away when we rise together.

This journey is just getting started, but my heart is fully in it. I'm grateful for every person who joins me along the way ,  because when one of us rises, we all do.
