What happens when your dream event collapses weeks before launch? For cultural producer, stylist and creative director Koya Nyangi, it became the spark for something bigger — the African Creators Festival, now a global celebration of African innovation.

In this inspiring conversation, Nyangi shares:

  • How she turned a cancelled partnership into a community-led fashion show.
  • Why fashion is more than clothes — it’s wearable art and storytelling.
  • The power of curiosity, experimentation, and “f*ing it up a little” in style and in life.
  • How African designers are redefining sustainability with deadstock denim and zero-waste fashion.
  • Why collaboration across cultures is essential for creativity and resilience.
