Ep 18- The Gen Z Founder Changing How Nairobi Socialises- Nani's Cafe Party | Zanelle Wanja

(So) How's Business? by Alma Mabachi

Episode notes

Zanelle Wanja just wanted somewhere to go that didn't revolve around alcohol. What she built instead was one of Nairobi's most talked-about social movements.

Nani's Cafe Party started as a free pop-up. 150 unexpected guests showed up. Now it's 11 sold-out editions, major brand sponsors, and a community that keeps growing.

But behind the branding is a founder who hit rock bottom, lost herself, and had to start over. In this episode she gets honest about the kitchen floor moments, the napkin contract, and what it really takes to bet on yourself after you've already failed.

For the builders. The creatives. The ones going against the grain.
