ABOUT
Writer. Editor. Observer of Kenyan life.
Ted Malanda is a Kenyan writer, columnist and veteran editor known for finding humour, contradiction and insight in everyday life.
His writing ranges across public affairs, politics, family, culture, travel and the curious business of being Kenyan.
This introductory biography, portrait and the highlights above will be editable in the Admin area.
A life shaped by words
Across a long career in Kenyan journalism, Ted has written about the institutions that shape public life and the ordinary encounters that reveal who we are.
He has worked as a writer and editor, including serving as the founding editor of The Nairobian.
This is intended to be a quiet home for the writing itself: a place where readers can discover an old column, follow a new observation or simply spend time with a well-told Kenyan story.

Old stories, new observations.
The collection will continue to grow as earlier columns are prepared for the archive and new work is published.
The words and photograph on this page will eventually be managed from Ted’s admin area, allowing him to shape this introduction in his own voice.
