Dear Readers,
It is with great excitement and a deep sense of purpose that we bring you this edition of Somalia Magazine. This month, we are not just reporting the stories of our community—we are making history.
For the first time ever, Somalia Magazine is hosting the First East Africa Somali Awards, an event that will shine a spotlight on the achievements and contributions of Somalis across the region. This groundbreaking ceremony will take place on April 15, 2025, in Nairobi, Kenya, and promises to be a night of inspiration, celebration, and unity.
The Somali community in East Africa has long been a pillar of resilience, entrepreneurship, and cultural richness. From business leaders driving economic growth to artists shaping our narratives, educators empowering the next generation, and media personalities amplifying our voices, Somalis across the region continue to break barriers and redefine success.
The First East Africa Somali Awards will honor these individuals and organizations, recognizing their impact and celebrating their dedication. We are also thrilled to share that the nomination process is now open and going exceptionally well! The response from the community has been overwhelming, with hundreds of nominations pouring in from across East Africa and beyon
It is inspiring to see so many incredible individuals and organizations being recognized for their hard work, innovation, and contributions. If you haven’t yet submitted your nomination, now is the time to do so—help us shine a light on those who are making a difference.
But this event is more than just an awards ceremony. It is a movement— one that seeks to unite Somalis from different countries, sectors, and backgrounds under a shared vision of progress and excellence. It is an opportunity for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas that can propel our community forward.
At Somalia Magazine, our mission has always been to document, celebrate, and elevate Somali excellence. This special edition features insightful stories, in-depth interviews, and inspiring profiles of individuals who exemplify the very best of our community.
As we count down to this historic event, we encourage you to be part of the journey—whether by nominating deserving candidates, attending the event, or supporting the initiative in any way you can. The time has come to tell our own success stories, to honor those who inspire us, and to build a future where Somali excellence is recognized and celebrated on a global stage.
