Grateful for this recognition, It fuels our mission more than ever. Everyone deserves to encounter design & fashion with dignity and independence. #AdaptiveFashion
Spotlight on Excellence: Meet our Cohort 4 Winner, @Archivist_AW.
From Kenya, @HisiStudio is doing more than just designing; they are championing inclusion through fashion. By focusing on adaptive fashion, Braille-integrated design, and accessibility, Angela Murigi has proven to be a true trailblazer in the industry.
Their journey through the Fashionomics Africa program has been a masterclass in dedication. We are honored to support their mission as they receive seed funding to scale their impact across the continent and beyond.
The future is bold. The future is Hisi Studio. Drop a "Congratulations" in the comments and follow their journey at @HisiStudio.

Thank you for seeing, and feeling, the story behind the jacket.
Accessibility, storytelling, and dignity are at the heart of what we do.
Grateful for the love
You see this dope jacket? Looks good Yes, but it feels even better when you know the story behind it.
It’s Made by @HisiStudio , who create adaptive clothing for the visually impaired.
The markings read:
“The less we see with our eyes, the more we see with our hearts.”

Your next statement isn’t spoken—it’s stitched.
Each kimono carries a circle. Each dots carries a message. Circles or Dots is fashion as empathy.

Looking forward to the upcoming session 🇰🇪
@NAssemblyKE is back from recess on Tuesday 17th September, where debate will begin on the consideration of my Learners With Disabilities Bill, 2023. I want to see Kenya bring the education of learners with disabilities to parity with all learners and end the exclusion of learners with disabilities from the traditional education system that many of us PWDs struggled through.
The most recent version of the Bill is here: parliament.go.ke/sites/defau…

I went to a conference session on accessibility:
The presenter asked “ When designing content, who are you okay with excluding?” 😮
A powerful, reminder that embracing #Accessibility is a journey, and refusing to embark on it leaves behind countless shipmates. #AllMeansAll
