ABOUT US

Sheeko is a high quality glossy lifestyle magazine aimed at Horn Africans. The magazine will be published quarterly in London. The aim of Sheeko is to provide the reader with relevant, neutral and reliable information on current events, health, fashion, beauty, career and contemporary living.

It will bridge the cultural and heritage gap between the west and Africa, and reflect the changing lifestyle of Africans. Whether covering style or current events, Sheeko will not shy away from the realities of life and encourages straight talk.

EDITORS NOTE

We welcome you to the first issue of this ambitious project. Sheeko endeavours to pull together Somalis, Eritreans and Ethiopians or rather the Horn of Africa collectively. Sheeko wants to celebrate the richness of our cultures and embrace our similarities (rather than linger on our differences). We also want to highlight our positive contributions, celebrate our achievements and introduce our culture to the rest of the world by creating a publication that will cover all aspects of our lifestyle. 
       In this issue, we create Ethno-chic by combining traditional and modern fashion. We cover the aftermath of 7/7 and the repercussions it has brought to our society. Sheeko spent some time with the man of the moment-K’naan- to ask him about his music and his philosophy. We also follow the life of a single girl in London in Dear Diary, which will be a permanent feature in Sheeko. Look out for next issue for more fabulous tips, articles and who knows you could grace our out and about secton! 
       We have started with great enthusiasm and aspirations and will continue with the same energy. We will take feedback from our readers and learn from each experience, which will help us become better. Sheeko means narrative or story. We hope you can join forces with us to make Sheeko a story for generations to come.
       Special thanks to everyone who believed in this project. Your support and encouragement kept us going. Last but by no means least, thanks to the Editorial team for their continued commitment.
