Karibu (kah-REE-boo)
Welcome
I help people and organizations close the gap between intention and impact
— in culture, in work and in self.
Ways to work together

Energetic Readings
Understand how your energy actually works — so life, work, and relationships stop feeling like a fight.
These readings help you decode your unique energetic makeup through Human Design and astrology.
You’ll leave with language for how you move, where your natural power sits, and what to stop apologizing for. Whether you’re a founder, creative, or in a season of transition, this is a mirror that helps you get out of your own way and operate in flow with your real design.
You’ll finally see why some things drain you — and others light you up.
Starting at $315, with deeper guidance available at $909.

Collaborate
For the projects that need depth, beauty, and real energy behind the vision.
When I collaborate, I come to create — to bring ideas to life with energy, depth, and meaning. If we work together, I want you to feel held, inspired, and supported — like what we’re creating could only exist because we crossed paths.Whether it’s a campaign, a film, a creative direction project, or something that doesn’t even have a name yet, I bring vision, cultural context, and a team that can move between continents to make it real.
Sometimes that looks like curating shoots with pieces sourced from Kenya. Other times it’s creative direction, research, and planning that turn ideas into something you can feel. -

Dada Dunia
Dada Dunia is an award-winning fractional operations agency powered by African women.
We support founders and socially responsible organizations with the kind of behind-the-scenes excellence that keeps everything moving — from content and systems to full operational support.What makes us different is how we work. We close the gap between intention and impact by pairing strategy with humanity, and efficiency with care. Every client we partner with helps build something bigger — a global network of African women leading with skill, confidence, and heart.
Our Impossible Goal is to hire and empower one Dada in each of Africa’s 54 countries by 2027, paying fair Canadian rates and showing what ethical remote work can really look like.

Retreats
(Coming Soon)
Closing the gap of cultural intelligence, curiosity, and humility—while meeting yourself in the process.
Before Kenya, we ground you in your own energetic design, so you understand how you move, rest, and connect. Once on the land, everything becomes lived: walking through Kariokor markets, laughing with artisans, dancing with mamas, feeling the pace of a day shaped by presence, not performance.
The work happens quietly. You start to see where your perspective has been shaped, and where it can open.
I’m Jayne Akinyi
( JAYN | ah - KEE - nyi )
I’ve lived on four continents and worked more jobs than I can count — teacher, cleaner, bartender, operations manager, factory worker, marketer, entrepreneur. Every role taught me something about what it means to start again, to belong somewhere new, and to build something from nothing.
I grew up in Kenya, went to school in the UK, lived in China, and now call Canada home. Across all those places, I kept seeing the same thing — a gap. Between cultures. Between intention and impact. Between how we see ourselves and how others see us.
When I came to Canada, that gap became louder. You’re told to have “Canadian experience” before you can belong, even when you’ve done the work a hundred times elsewhere. That’s when I decided to stop waiting for permission and build my own way forward. That became Dada Dunia — an ethical virtual assistant organization powered by African women.
Since then, my work has expanded into cultural intelligence, energetics, and retreats that reconnect people to land and to each other. Whether I’m guiding a founder through a Human Design reading, helping a team build inclusive systems, or curating experiences in Kenya, the mission stays the same — closing the gap.
I’ve learned that people don’t need fixing; they need seeing. When you work with me, you’ll feel that — the ease, the honesty, the safety. I don’t rush. I listen. I help you remember who you are and what you came here to do, so that life and work start to feel like they belong to you again.
