HQ Kenya House, the premier cultural hub and international members-only club, held its opening event, “The Premiere”, an exclusive evening of connection, creativity, and cultural excellence. Hosted by award-winning actor, producer, and poet Omari Hardwick, the highly anticipated launch took place at the stunning HQ Kenya House located at Tatu City, the 5,000-acre new city on Nairobi’s doorstep.
HQ Kenya House is a space built to bring together Kenya and Africa’s most dynamic business leaders, creatives, and innovators. Designed to be more than just a club, HQ Kenya House is an intersection of heritage, excellence, and global connectivity, uniting visionaries from across the continent and the world.
John Burns, owner of HQ Kenya House and its sister club in Washington, DC, reflected on the significance of the launch:
“HQ Kenya House is not just a space, it is a movement. It is a testament to the power of culture, to the strength of global connectivity and excellence, and to the idea that our greatest work is done when we are together. We built HQ DC House with this vision, and now, with HQ Kenya House, we are taking that vision international.”
Omari Hardwick, the American actor who starred as James St. Patrick, or Ghost, in “Power” and 2025 Grammy Award nominee for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album, said:
“HQ Kenya House is a bridge from America to Africa, where like-minded people create together. The world is watching Africa, and this is our time. Our time to create, to collaborate, and to define the future on our own terms.”
With its roots in Washington, DC, HQ Kenya House expands the HQ House legacy, a commitment to fostering collaboration across continents. HQ DC House, a celebrated institution in the U.S. capital, has long been a hub for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and creatives. Now, HQ Kenya House brings the same to Kenya, at Tatu City, an entirely new city for 250,000 residents from Kenya and around the world.
