At its core, Review & Reset exists to remind us that while the journey can feel isolating, we are not meant to navigate it alone. Our first edition in Nairobi, we brought together creatives, founders, entrepreneurs and cultural leaders who are currently shaping the landscape of the creative industry in Kenya and the wider East African region.
We began slowly, through a flower arranging session led by Imali, a wellbeing practitioner specialising in shiatsu therapy. It offered a moment to arrive fully, to release the day, and to ground into the space before anything else. A reminder that how we gather matters just as much as what we discuss.
From “grey” beginnings to “neon” endings, many of us recognised that progress isn’t linear… and sometimes, it’s not in our control. We spoke honestly about what’s often left unsaid: from delayed payments and lack of transparency to the need for clearer systems, shared knowledge and community care.
But alongside that, there was something else. A sense of ease, honesty and of being in a space where you don’t have to perform, explain or compete.
