This past Saturday at the Moi International Sports Centre - Kasarani, Nairobi SKY brought together thousands of teen girls from across the country for a weekend of empowerment, mentorship, and talks by famous celebrities. The event festival, which was themed "Najijua and I'm smoke-free'," provided a platform for teenage girls to come together and learn from each other, as well as from accomplished women in the entertainment scene in Kenya.
The festival featured aspirational artists who shared empowerment messages through their performances and encouraged girls to make positive life choices and say no to negative peer pressure.
The girls got to interact with Amina Rabar who was one of the MCs of the day and enjoyed fun activities and entertainment from a few Kenyan artists and their favorite TikTok dance influencers.
