INFORM DISRUPT REDEFINE

Meza Yetu Collective is a Nairobi-based feminist collective of storytellers, activists, and researchers working alongside feminist movements and communities to document lived experience, shift narratives, and bring feminist knowledge into public and policy conversations.

We develop narratives and counter narratives using participatory approaches that centre lived experiences of women, girls, and gender diverse people in Kenya. We sift through existing & new data, archiving & collecting memories, and capitalizing on tech to decolonize the future.

Meza Yetu (which means Our Table in Kiswahili) is where ideas are shared, challenged, and shaped. On this table everyone has a seat.
