Stacy Osanjo Gives Voice to Small Business Owners in Nairobi, Kenya

Stacy Osanjo is a Kenyan storyteller whose work sits at the intersection of audio journalism and community narrative.

Silver Lining commissioned this work from Stacy Osanjo as part of the small.artists Global series, supported by GoDaddy & JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Nairobi’s small business owners carry stories that rarely make it past the street corner. Osanjo’s series of five audio pieces changes that moving through the city’s entrepreneurial landscape one voice at a time, capturing the daily realities, risks, and resilience of the people who keep local economies moving. The work is both a document and a portrait, letting business owners speak for themselves.
