Build What Outlasts. Become Who Leads.
A virtual leadership school for African girls, ages 15–18, ready to discover their voice, build something real, and become the woman they were born to be.
WHAT IS OUTLAST SCHOOL?
This is not a course. It’s a calling.
The Outlast School is a 3 years virtual leadership academy that gives African girls the tools, guidance, and sisterhood to step into their future with purpose.
Over two transformational semesters, each girl journeys through:
Becoming (Jan–Mar): Confidence. Identity. Cultural pride.
Building (Apr–May): A guided capstone project like a book, website, workshop, or initiative
WHY WE EXIST
Because we’re done waiting.
Too many African girls are taught to:
Shrink to be safe
Leave the continent to succeed
Survive instead of build
Outlast is the answer to that. We don’t fix broken systems. We replace them—with something rooted in vision, voice, and value. This is not reform. This is legacy work.
WHO WE SERVE
We see the spark—no matter where it lives.
We serve African girls aged 15–18 across the continent and the diaspora. We don’t choose based on grades or resumes. We choose based on grit, vision, and voice. Whether she’s quiet or bold, unsure or ready, an A student or a C student—if she has a whisper inside her saying there’s more—she belongs here.
WHY OUTLAST WAS BORN
Born From the Story of a Girl Who Wasn’t Picked
The Outlast School was founded by Sandra Kemayou—a girl who once failed sixth grade, doubted her voice, and felt invisible in the system.
Years later, she became a global success coach and built a 7-figure business teaching other women to rise.
Outlast is the school she wishes existed when she was 14.
And now it belongs to every girl who carries a quiet fire—and just needs a place to light it.
FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS
If you’re wondering if this is right for your daughter—thank you.
You care. And that makes you part of this journey.
The Outlast School was designed to honor your hopes for her future.
We don’t ask her to be perfect—we simply invite her to become.
If she’s ready to grow, to build, and to be guided by strong women—you can trust she’ll be seen, supported, and stretched in all the right ways.
We promise to walk with her—and we thank you for letting us.
FOR TEACHERS, AUNTIES, & ADVOCATES
Sometimes, a girl doesn’t yet see in herself what others can. If you know a girl who needs this—whose potential is hiding in silence or struggle—please nominate her. Your belief might be the reason she applies.
