Kenya's @HisiStudio makes inclusive fashion you can feel!
In addition to #braille on garments, each piece has a QR code with fabric and care instructions to accommodate #blind and #VisuallyImpaired customers. #BlindNewWorld

Thank you for seeing, and feeling, the story behind the jacket.
Accessibility, storytelling, and dignity are at the heart of what we do.
Grateful for the love
You see this dope jacket? Looks good Yes, but it feels even better when you know the story behind it.
Itโs Made by @HisiStudio , who create adaptive clothing for the visually impaired.
The markings read:
โThe less we see with our eyes, the more we see with our hearts.โ

Fun is found in creation. One of the highlights we had at the just concluded #InclusionFest2025 is this braille board challenge game by @HisiStudio. Both the seeing and blind got a chance to come up and create words on the braille board. How many words do you think...
StudioHisi retweeted
Our goal must be an online space where all women, including #womenwithdisabilities, can participate without fear.

Your next statement isnโt spokenโitโs stitched.
Each kimono carries a circle. Each dots carries a message. Circles or Dots is fashion as empathy.

How do people with visual impairments experience fashion? For Wanjiku Angela, the answer led to Hisi Studio.
An inclusive fashion brand creating adaptive clothing with Braille labels, tactile patterns, and QR code tags.
Her designs give people independence and choice in what they wear. Read her full story: inable.org/2025/09/16/fashioโฆ

ALT A woman with glasses and braided hair is standing at a podium, speaking into a microphone. The podium is branded with the words "inABLE INCLUSIVE AFRICA CONFERENCE 2025." The background is a white and orange graphic. Part of a screen is visible to the right with the words "means fi..." and "of access...". In the foreground, the backs of people's heads are blurred.
ALT Two people are standing at a white exhibition booth labeled "Hisi Studio." A woman with braids and a black leather jacket is talking to another woman in a white blouse and glasses, who is showing her a stack of folded clothes. Behind them, clothes hang on a rack and a large screen shows a computer desktop.
ALT A close-up shot of a person's arm and torso. They are wearing a black jacket with a pattern of raised white dots down the sleeve, which is Braille. Their other hand is resting on their chest, with a black belt tied around the waist.
ALT A teal-colored T-shirt with a large white circle on the front. Inside the circle, a hand shows the American Sign Language sign for "I love you." The words "I Love You" are printed below the circle. The background is a pattern of various hand signs in shades of gray.

Every hand that signs is a voice that matters!!

@NAssemblyKE is back from recess on Tuesday 17th September, where debate will begin on the consideration of my Learners With Disabilities Bill, 2023. I want to see Kenya bring the education of learners with disabilities to parity with all learners and end the exclusion of learners with disabilities from the traditional education system that many of us PWDs struggled through.
The most recent version of the Bill is here: parliament.go.ke/sites/defauโฆ

1. Be mindful of the language you use to describe disability
2. Do not judge people based on appearance
3. When planning events, ensure they are disability-inclusive
4. Treat persons with disabilities with dignity and respect #inclusivecommunity #disabilityinclusion
Disability inclusion conversations are heavy & not always the easiest to start. However, they are incredibly essential to have. Within our space in design, we are initiating these through PLAY.
Introducing our updated SISI WOTE: INTERACTIVE BRAILLE PLAY Board
This modular, interactive braille play installation caters to both visually impaired and sighted individuals. Learn the Braille basics & proceed to make words in Braille, spell out regular alphabet letters, make body/shape impressions, and pixel art on the board!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by this weekend. A major shout out to the parents that brought their children along #TheFutureIsAccessible โจ๏ธ
