Who We Are

Salone LinkUp is the go-to platform for young Sierra Leoneans who are all about community, culture, and celebrating. We bring together young professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives both at home and in the diaspora by giving them what they love most—curated experiences, inspiring content, and access to resources and opportunities that help them grow personally and professionally.

Founded in April 2020, we’ve built a welcoming and supportive space where collaboration fuels success, empowerment drives change, and excellence is the standard. Whether it’s through networking events, career and personal development resources, or storytelling that highlights our people’s brilliance, we’re here to connect, uplift, and inspire.

We also create advertising opportunities and partner with brands, businesses, and organizations that want to tap into the energy, ambition, and influence of young Sierra Leoneans.
