As humans, we crave connection and the opportunity to express ourselves, share our experiences and unburden ourselves. This need is especially strong for women, who are often caught up in the whirlwind of work, family, and societal expectations. Let's be honest: some things are difficult to talk about with our partners. That's when you turn to your girlfriends or family to share your wins, losses, and everything in between. In Kenya, where women face cultural norms, gender-based violence and economic challenges, this need for connection is a lifeline. Women's support circles are powerful spaces where women can come together to share, heal and grow. Whether a Nairobi coffee meetup or a rural farming collective, these groups offer emotional resilience, professional empowerment, and personal transformation. Through Nancy Ayugi's story, a Nairobi office worker, discover how sisterhood can provide strength and hope to Kenyan women as they navigate life's challenges.
