Send us a text

On this episode of GET TO KNOW YOU, we discuss another thought-provoking topic; ‘How does someone's background influence their career?’. This week, I’ll be sitting down with Kahindo Mateena. She is the founder and creative visionary behind her namesake brand KAHINDO. Kahindo strives to use her brand as a vehicle to create job opportunities for women and share the heart and soul of Africa with the rest of the world. Kahindo was born in Uganda, educated in Kenya, and has lived in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Niger. She has showcased her collections at several international fashion shows, including Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Africa and New York Fashion Week at the Harlem Fashion Row. Her work has also been featured in publications like The New York Times, Elle, Essence, and Marie Claire. KAHINDO is a socially responsible womenswear brand that creates wearable art featuring bold colours and custom prints inspired by the designer’s Congolese heritage, African upbringing and globe-trotting travels. Designed in New York City and produced by female artisans in Africa using fair trade practices, KAHINDO’s statement-making—yet timeless—silhouettes are made to empower the modern woman while having a social impact. Tune in as we discuss African fashion, combining different African materials and creating wearable art with a social impact. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out how you can join the conversation on the Get To Know You Cafe.
