I am so excited to introduce you to my brilliant and talented friend Vania. She was an international student, studying in Lebanon, when the country made a hasty decision to send all the students back to their home countries. Now she is living in her childhood home, navigating life and the pandemic in Nairobi. 

You can find Vania on Instagram @nvm_924
