Some stories are told because silence has cost too much.
Produced by @SlumFilmFest, this short film brings Still, I Rise beyond the page. 28 brave young mothers from Nairobi’s informal settlements speak their lives. Watch and share ow.ly/6XxB50ZBlzY #StillIRise #CFKAfrica
Young content creators in Kibra came together through the #BaseBilaNoma initiative for a training on storytelling, digital literacy, fact-checking, ethical content creation, and peace messaging.
Every community has stories.
The question is: What stories will we choose to tell?

My Story - my future. Shoutout to @SlumFilmFest for empowering our #LuxSit & #JimRogers Scholars to step into their voices with confidence. Through a storytelling and self‑expression workshop, our scholars learned new techniques to share their lived experiences with pride.
Day 3 🎬
From ideas → to story → to pricing.
Not just learning tools… thinking like creatives.

Day 2 was all about VALUE.

That shift is where growth begins.
