Our Story
Since launching Braiding Nairobi in September 2022, we’ve recognised a deeper need for storytelling and social entrepreneurship centred on African women. We started the Ndeza Collective to tell these stories through articles and photography.
​
As a Fulbright-National Geographic Storytelling Fellow, Natachi Onwuamaegbu is exploring the economic opportunities in Nairobi’s Kenyatta market by interviewing female hair braiders and the key players who make decisions that dictate the lives of the hair braiders.​​​

The Ndeza Collective
​Over a series of articles profiling at least 20 people along with creating a series of videos, photo collections, audio pieces and a book, the Ndeza Collective is harnessing the power of storytelling, technology, accessibility, and the gig economy to grow beyond Kenyatta Market, Nairobi, and Kenya. With BraidingNairobi, we now can.​​
