S2E16: The Young Professionals Segment: Women in Space Kenya (WiSK)

On this edition of the Young Professionals Segment, host Linus Anari sits down with Charlynne Jepkosgei and Stella Mutai, founders of Women in Space Kenya — a network dedicated to building a strong community of women in the space sector and inspiring the next generation of women leaders.

They unpack the inspiration behind Women in Space Kenya, exploring why it exists and how it’s creating inclusive pathways in the space ecosystem through mentorship, outreach, and visibility.

For the first time ever, they’re hosting the African Women in Space Conference, happening 27th–28th November at Strathmore University, Nairobi, Kenya — an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, explore diverse applications of space technologies, and take part in immersive activities including telescope viewing, drone demonstrations, virtual reality experiences, model rocket launches, and more.
