This past week on Project X has been extraordinary. Clearly, no two weeks are alike! We are entertained, educated, and enjoying the creative community in Kenya in a unique way each time we tune in.
The second week was as momentous and eventful as the first, with a masterclass on Storytelling & Content creation facilitated by Victor Murithi, Founder and Head of brand & storytelling, Julikana Agency OR Sunny Dolat, Creative Strategy Manager, HEVA Fund by Metta Nairobi on Monday.
All eyes were set on the brilliant talents who performed during the second round of live selections on Tuesday. They left us wondering who would make it to the next stage and had us rooting for our favourites.
Our second radio show premiered on Friday, with Susan Njoroge (@sura_common) alongside the amazing juror, John Kaveke (@johnkaveke), and special guest Njambi Koikai( @jahmbykoikai). Together, they explored “Institutional Support for the Creative industries”.
