Rafiki is a result of two loving Kenyans Tula Bischof and Brendalisa Karoki brought together by the universe to share our light. We are eager to make room for important conversations to take place, while acknowledging all the facets of the learning process. Join us as we explore topics ranging from personal identity to national identity while addressing the trauma embedded in African Politics. In the words of Elizabeth Jebiwot Bischof "corruption exists when people are not empowered". We aim to fill the spaces of shame and blame with compassion instead, to harness the power that lies within the human experience.
