ANA KWA ANA — A Creatives' Hangout
We've built a community online. Now it's time to be in the same room.
Ana Kwa Ana (face to face) is Coterie's first-ever physical gathering — a full day designed for creatives who are serious about the business side of their craft. Not the "follow your passion" talk. The real stuff. The money, the taxes, the rates, and what to do with what you earn.
🎯 WHAT WE'RE TACKLING
Through research and community polling, we know the biggest hurdles creatives face aren't creative — they're financial. So we brought in the professionals.
The day is built around Breakout Labs: intimate, facilitated sessions led by industry experts (we call them Architects) covering:
💰 Monetization & Rates — How to find clients, set your prices, and negotiate without underselling yourself
🧾 Accounting & Taxes — What you're legally required to know as a creative in Kenya, and how to factor it into what you charge
📈 Investing for Freelancers — How to build wealth and invest consistently, even when your income isn't.
