about us

Since creating "Braiding Nairobi" in September 2022, we've realized the greater need for storytelling and social entrepreneurship centering African women. Through our brand new company, we will be combining the power of storytelling with technology, accessibility, and the gig economy, to expand past the borders of Kenyatta Market, Nairobi, and Kenya. Our app, which will send braiders directly to the comfort of your home, will be out soon. You won't want to miss out. Keep an eye on our website for updates.
