Check FAQAbout Kensilver
Nairobi-based writer and final-year International Relations and Diplomacy student, currently researching Chinese infrastructure investment and Kenyan foreign policy sovereignty through a thesis centered on the SGR railway. I write on East African politics, China-Africa relations, and the geopolitics of foreign investment, combining academic research with a journalist's instinct for what makes a story matter. I run Project What If a blog exploring ideas across science and philosophy, where I've built a body of long-form writing on complex subjects made accessible without oversimplifying them. Alongside my studies, I've worked across writing, editing, and content roles for international clients, giving me the discipline of deadlines and the range to cover stories beyond my core beat when needed. Based on the ground in Nairobi, I offer editors direct access to East African politics, infrastructure and development stories, and the region's evolving relationship with global powers—reporting shaped by both academic grounding and lived proximity to the story.
