Bondo, Kenya — A powerful convergence of art, enterprise, and opportunity is set to unfold in Bondo as the Equity Creator Masterclass arrives with a bold promise: to transform raw creative talent into real economic power.
Taking place on Thursday, 28th May 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at The Garden Bondo, off Bondo–Usenge Road, the high-impact session is poised to position Bondo as an emerging hub in Kenya’s fast-rising creative economy.
Anchored on the theme “Transforming Creative Vision into Economic Power,” the masterclass will convene influential voices from finance, music, law, and community development—each bringing practical insights on how creatives can build sustainable careers and scalable brands.
Leading the conversation is Zippy Maore, Head of Youth Banking at Equity Bank Group, who will spotlight innovative financing solutions and youth-focused opportunities designed to unlock growth for creatives and entrepreneurs.
Renowned Kenyan artist Octopizzo adds star power and lived experience to the panel, sharing his journey from grassroots beginnings to global stages—an inspiring blueprint for turning creativity into a thriving enterprise. He is joined by Coster Ojwang, a respected musician and visual artist, who will delve into authenticity, audience building, and navigating today’s evolving digital landscape.
On the legal front, Janet Othero, Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, will break down the essentials of intellectual property rights—an often overlooked but critical pillar for creatives seeking to protect and monetize their work. Complementing the panel is Godfrey Emoji, a community and operations associate from Kisumu, offering a grassroots perspective on nurturing local talent and building resilient creative ecosystems.
Backed by key partners including Equity, Arrival Africa, The Get Lit Podcast, and The Fisherman’s Experience, the event underscores a growing movement to invest in Africa’s creative capital—not just as culture, but as a serious economic driver.
More than a panel discussion, the Equity Creator Masterclass is a strategic platform for learning, networking, and action. It speaks directly to a new generation of creators ready to move beyond passion projects into profitable ventures.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear: Bondo is not just hosting a conversation—it is becoming part of a continental shift where creativity meets commerce, and ideas turn into income.
