Born and brought up in one of Africa’s busiest cities, Nairobi, Wafa Tajdin is no stranger to the patchwork of experiences that are part and parcel of growing up in a 21st century metropolis. A sentiment that has contributed immensely to her choice of academic pursuits – an undergraduate degree in economics and a Master’s degree in media studies from the Rhodes School of Journalism in South Africa. A passion for journalism and telling the stories that matter led Wafa Tajdin onto the path of film and television specifically with respect to producing human-interest stories from angles that are innovative, interesting and relevant to Africa in particular.
