When Waridi learned about The Women’s Vinyl Project in February 2021, she was instantly drawn to it and became an ambassador for the project. This is what she had to say!
What inspired you to become an ambassador for the project?
After Meeting with Ruth, I was very interested to understand her part in the project and what difference she was making to bring positive changes or encouragement to the young woman of Vinyl. I firmly believe that voices formulated creatively have a strong Statement. Defining the movement with singing is not just artistic but also inspiring because singing is the language that has one voice. Ultimately, using the voice to motivate younger women and girls to raise their voices.
What’s your philosophy in life?
A quote from Nelson Mandela, “It always seems impossible until it’s done,” evolves around my journey and life philosophy.
What do you love most about Kenya?
Nairobi for me is the New York of Africa, Kenya being Modern yet is still wild at heart.
Will you be singing for the vinyl?
I am not a singer, then again… Nothing is impossible.
