Editor’s Note – Issue 398

Welcome to a brand-new month and our 398th issue! This edition brings together food, art, business, fashion, family, faith, pets, entertainment and travel.

Meet our H&S Chef Of The Month, Chef Mahmoud, explore contemporary Kenyan art through an Islamic aesthetic lens, discover the latest from our Business Launch Programme, and find inspiration for your executive wardrobe through Kenyan artisanal textiles. Movie lovers can also look forward to Verity (2026), Digger (2026) and more at Anga and Kisumu Cinemas.

From choosing halal-certified pet food and creating a dedicated prayer space at home, to helping children balance digital life with family values and giving Kenyan couples practical ways to reconnect, there is plenty to explore.

And of course, we take you back to the beautiful Southern Palms Beach Resort in Diani. We hope you enjoy discovering all that Issue 398 has to offer.

Happy reading!
