The Mind Behind

Message From The Founder

“When I started The Third, I imagined Senegal’s first members-only space where women can work, grow & unwind. A creative hub inspiring the most daring ideas but also allowing to strike a work-life balance. The Third gives women an opportunity to get closer to their goals and, most importantly, their very own selves. To become the light they want to wake up to every single day.”
