Background
We invite feminist leaders and civic participants to join a series of closed-door, guided dialogues exploring the complexities of power, governance, and historical impact. Over the course of seven sessions, we will critically analyze the strategies of iconic leadership figures and discuss their implications for Kenya’s political future.
These sessions are designed as intimate, interactive forums. To ensure deep and meaningful engagement, participants are expected to have familiarized themselves with the core subject matter prior to each session.
