The evolution of the arts and the cultural dimensions of the arts in development motivate me as a cultural manager in Africa.
I currently work at Kwani Trust www.kwani.org as the Marketing Officer . Kwani Trust is a Kenyan based literary network . Prior to Kwani I worked with performing artists in dance, acrobatics and music at Sarakasi Trust www.sarakasi.org
Over the years, I have been able to witness the vital role played by the Arts e.g enhancing social economic development of various communities through cultural enterprenurship , dialogue and empowerment.

I have Post Graduate training in Culture, Sexuality and Society from University of Amsterdam, NL and BSC hons Degree from Kenyatta University, Nairobi Kenya. I have also participated in various cultural events and stakeholders forums locally and internationally relating to the Arts.
