CFK Africa invites you to join us for the launch of the groundbreaking book, Still I Rise: Stories of Resilience from Teenage Mothers in Kenya’s Slums.
Date & Time: Friday, August 7, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Location: Circle Art Gallery, Victoria Square, Riara Rd, Nairobi, Kenya
Across Nairobi’s slums, young mothers are reclaiming their stories. Their courage, their voices, and their dreams come alive in Still I Rise.
With Light Remarks by:
Siama Yusuf and Charlotte Barcott, co-editors, Still, I Rise
Whitney Akinyi, writer
Susan Burns, Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy Kenya
Jeffrey Okoro, CEO, CFK Africa
Rye Barcott, Board Chair, CFK Africa
“Still, I Rise’ is a true testament of the importance of peer-led safe spaces that not only allow girls to be truly seen and understood but also give them the courage and tools to increase personal agency over their lives.”
– Isis Nyong’o Madison, Technology Industry Leader focused on Africa’s advancement
“Africa has many faces. The most important of these is hope: it shines through in every portrait and personal story in Still, I Rise. For the writers—28 young single mothers—participating in it, it has surely provided a lasting sense of community and common purpose. Illuminating throughout is their courage."
– Michael Holman, former Financial Times Africa Editor
Please RSVP by August 1. Spaces are limited.
