MP Njeri Maina ventures Into lifestyle sector to empower women, create employment

Kirinyaga Woman Representative Njeri Maina is venturing into the lifestyle sector with the launch of Skinly, a brand that unites skincare, fashion, and wellness services while generating employment opportunities for women and young people. The launch event took place at Bonsai Villa in Gigiri, Nairobi, and was attended by political, legal, media, and civic figures.

Maina's passion for skincare and fashion inspired her to create a brand that combines these interests and caters to women's lifestyle needs. Skinly, located at Covo Square along Gitanga Road in Nairobi, offers skincare products, facial analysis, beauty therapy, manicures, pedicures, and a fashion line featuring various accessories.

Maina aimed to create a welcoming environment with pink and pastel colors to make women feel celebrated and empowered. The brand also reflects Maina's commitment to entrepreneurship and creating employment, as she has hired six young people under 25 already. Launching the brand during economic uncertainty and ahead of the 2027 General Election is a deliberate decision, as Maina believes in the strength of Kenya's institutions and the potential for businesses to create opportunities even in challenging times.
