I know, I know, I haven’t blogged on here in a month and it’s too easy to blame it on Twitter, as micro-blogging is so much easier and quicker, but life has also been a little hectic, with changing of jobs, location and what not. I’m in Nairobi for ‘a little while longer’, but will try to continue to keep the scope of this blog beyond the Kenyan borders.
Without much further ado, here is what has recently caught my attention in the afro-culture sphere.
- Magazines

The aim of the magazine is to inform, educate and entertain its readers, and in so doing present material that is relevant to the social, aesthetic, economic and cultural context of East Africa.
“I always dreamt of giving the African woman a stronger voice.” – Sylvia Owori
The month of May saw African Woman’s first Kenyan edition. The Ugandan edition is available in Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Sudan.
