Hi, I’m Valentine Akinyi, a communications and visual storytelling professional with 8+ years of experience creating impactful media content in humanitarian, health, and development contexts. I specialize in documentary-style narratives and stakeholder-driven stories that translate complex social issues into accessible visuals, amplifying marginalized voices and turning lived experiences into meaningful programs and advocacy tools. I’ve collaborated with international organizations including Bayer and the United Nations Development Programme to deliver communication products that support advocacy, awareness, and behavior change initiatives. My approach centers on inclusion and dignity for people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, and I’m comfortable shaping content for advocacy, donor reporting, and public engagement. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, I work with NGOs, agencies, and corporate partners to craft content from interviews and field footage into cohesive stories, edit for impact, and design social media content that broadens reach and deepens impact.
