In this powerful episode of the Destinations Podcast, we sit down with Koya Nyangi — award-winning entrepreneur, cultural producer, creative director and founder of Let Me Show You Different (LMSYD).
Koya takes us on her journey from Kenya to the global stage, sharing how she turned setbacks (like nearly losing her first fashion show with only weeks to prepare) into groundbreaking events that birthed the African Creators Festival.
Key themes explored:
- The versatility of Deadstock Denim and sustainable design from Lesotho
- The resilience behind pulling off a major fashion show in one month
- Why collaboration across cultures matters in fashion, food, and art
- How African creators are reshaping global perspectives on fashion & sustainability
- Breaking fashion “rules” and embracing curiosity as a form of self-expression
