In this episode, Ambassador Raychelle Omamo sits down with Thayù Kilili, multidisciplinary artist, writer, and founder of Creatives Garage, for an inspiring conversation on creative leadership, equality, and the courage to disrupt through art.

Thayù shares how she channels her quiet demeanor into powerful creative expression, why she believes “art must disturb,” and how her mantra “looking at everyone as equals” shapes her approach to leadership and collaboration.

Discover how she built one of East Africa’s most influential creative spaces from scratch, why she believes in “failing forward,” and how she’s preparing Africa’s youth for an AI-driven future through innovation and access.

Power Quote: “We don't like what is happening in society and so we must change it, and we're going to change it with our art.” - Thayù Kilili.

Tune in to explore the intersection of creativity, social justice, and purpose — and how defiance can be a force for transformation. Subscribe to The Power Panel Podcast for more conversations on women, leadership, and impact.
