Our very own Jim Chuchu had a lovely, insightful conversation with the Sticks and Stones squad, in which they baptised him a Multidisciplinary Warrior (we love this name <3!) for Chart-a-box, their podcast series on Kenyan creatives. They discussed his creative journey through music, film, photography and activism for the last 10+ years, and branched out further into the motivation behind his work here at the Nest and at sister company HEVA Fund, also touching on topics like mental health and  post- pandemic creativity blocks.

We love the Sticks and Stones squad: they’re easily among the most gifted, hardworking and inspiring people we know, and their work across genres and disciplines is beautiful, fresh and impactful.
