he or she will be provided with the reasons

The creative hub will be accessible to everyone
and will be a co-working and workshop
space that offers all tools and resources for
entrepreneurs such as hot desks, printers, Wi-
Fi, meeting rooms and more. Mentors will
come in (or stream live from oversees) and
help with credentialing. There will also be
workshops, coaching, courses, happy hours and
other fun, creative events.

Mwai shares, “We need to fund and strengthen
the creative talents and capacity of our artistic
businesses and the individuals who found them.
Many artists and creatives are overlooked and
underserved because they don’t have the means
to up skill themselves or the know-how to build
a platform that gets them noticed. They often
lack business skills, mentors and resources.
Creative business is a unique entity in that it
marries both art and business, so it requires a
unique approach.”

It’s evident that the heart behind Mwai’s vision
and that of Jacaranda Hub is one and the same
and we can’t wait to see how the two creative
hubs can run parallel on a journey to change
our communities and country.
