Consultant, Researcher, and Writer in Nairobi
Pharis Gichanga Wainaina
I’m a Kenyan political writer, researcher, and analyst with a passion for uncovering the nuances of African politics, from Gen Z’s influence in Kenya to the challenges of artistic freedom.
As the mind behind Polity Prism, I delve into topics like governance, cultural expression, and comparative political systems, offering fresh perspectives through my writing and lectures.
My work has been pitched to global outlets like Salon and explored opportunities with think tanks such as Chatham House’s Africa Programme. Whether I’m crafting in-depth articles, lecturing on political science, or sparking discussions on platforms like Udemy, I aim to illuminate the complexities of power and society with clarity and impact.
