Still Here

Street editorial · Kibera · 2026 · 32 frames

Survival comes first… that’s the world a lot of us grew up in, where chasing anything creative meant convincing your own family it wasn’t a phase. But pressure doesn’t kill creativity, it shapes it. Shot in Kibera, this is a story about what happens when struggle meets community. When the block becomes the studio. When the people around you become the support system nobody else gave you. Proof that art doesn’t wait for permission. We’re still here. Still creating. Still redefining what’s possible for whoever comes next
