In Nairobi a lot of creators get trapped in stories that stopped fitting them a long time ago. They were told to keep it safe, wait their turn, maybe shrink the dream just enough to survive. And for a while they listened.
But something’s shifting now. You can feel it in the writers, the designers, the dancers, the kids building whole projects from a laptop in a café. They’re done waiting. They’re carving their own way forward.
Changing your story doesn’t mean you failed. It means you grew. It means admitting this version of me isn’t final, and being brave enough to start shaping the next one.
Here, starting over isn’t strange. It’s the way people rise.
