So privileged to have been part of the #MotherhoodReframed Fellowship by @DOCUBOXFilmFund what an honor to be among accomplished journalists and powerful influential voices in 🇰🇪 and 🇹🇿

19 journalists. 2 countries. 5 days. 1 mission: transform the narrative on young motherhood. Led by Docubox, @JHRKenya with @StoryforImpact, the training focused on agency, dignity & lived experience. Next: a 5-month mentorship & stories across East Africa.

There are countless stories about young mothers in our societies, most shaped by assumptions, stigma, or old narratives. That’s why Docubox convened the #MotherhoodReframed Journalists Residency, to rethink how we report, tell, and listen to their stories. #WeAreMuungano

Telling stories that shift dominant narratives about young mothers requires care, ethics, and responsibility. Today at the #MotherhoodReframed Residency by @DOCUBOXFilmFund , we are unpacking consent, power, & how to safely work with minors while centering dignity in every story.

Massive love to @DOCUBOXFilmFund x @NBOFilmFest with support from @africalia & DGD 🇧🇪 for keeping the fire of African storytelling burning bright! Vibes by @odoshesgallery #WeAreAllAfricans #ThroughOurEyes #AfricanCinema #SSS2025 #NBOFilmFest #AfricanStorytelling

Through Our Eyes was a mirror of who we are. Hosted by Nyokabi Macharia #SSS2025 made us feel films, personally, joyfully, unapologetically African. As night fell, the air pulsed with Liboi's live set, Afro-house beats, and our signature call: Watch Shorts.Wear Shorts.Take Shots.

THROUGH OUR EYES: #ShortsShortsShots2025 WAS PURE MAGIC! What. A. Night. On October 19th, Shalom House Gardens transformed into Nairobi’s ultimate celebration of African creativity, style & storytelling — where film, food, fashion, and music collided in one unforgettable vibe.
