Convo Africa Magazine Issue 11

Relentless Conversations. Real Change.

At Convo Africa, we are relentless about conversations that matter, especially when it comes to mental health. We know the issue is not just personal, it is communal. It shapes our families, our workplaces, our faith spaces, and our future. That’s why this edition of Convo Africa Magazine is crafted to keep the dialogue alive, to push us beyond silence, and to mobilize communities at the grassroots where change truly begins.

In this issue, we spotlight Chief Bethroser Gaconde, whose remarkable leadership and personal resilience are transforming Ngaru. From the awareness walk to the health clinics, we witnessed what happens when leadership and community come together: healing takes root.

And we don’t stop there. Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Mary Ngigi, the model turning beauty into a tool for change and challenging mental health stigma.
  • The hits and misses of Kenya’s mental health journey — what’s working, what’s not, and what we must do next.
  • A raw look at fatherhood wounds and how they shape generations.
  • Why faith is not optional but essential in the healing process.
  • The case for business agility, breaking free from rigid five-year plans to embrace resilience and pivot with purpose.

This issue is packed with voices and stories that prove; when we talk openly, we begin to heal. When we act together, our communities thrive.

Don’t just read a magazine, join a movement that is changing lives.
