HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AFRICA’S HANGOUT BLOG




May marks one year since I started this blog! For me; it has been a great journey of writing; growing and I pray; as a reader to the blog; the story is the same for you too.

I feel it is a good time to take stock. From just 2 hits; on the very first day we started; to an entry of over 1,000 hits by the third month; indeed God has been good to us.

Much like a company that expands too quickly; we also have to be careful that as a blog we do not become a victim of our own success.

The purpose of this blog was to have an all-African on each page site- a chill spot for Africans. That will not cease even after today; when we revamp this blog to a more hip; hype and fun blog.

That is why we have decided to change the name to NAIROBI’Z BLOGAZINE- which is street or sheng for “owned by Nairobi”- and the concept of a new term blogazine-“where blogging meets magazine.”

This one year journey has been a straight road to this one gleaming moment in time and destiny. We remain committed to telling our stories; the African stories- whether Nairobi city’s stories or any other place in Africa because that is what we build this blog on.

I still remind you; this blog has never had any followers; but it has a family. We are a family-we are a tribe!
We usher in a new age of writing! We want to do what we do best and have done in the past- and that is delivery with force and valve. Today; we tell yet again our story- a grand tale of victory.
Today; we usher in a future brighter that anything we can imagine. Cheers to victory!
