Today was all about color, community, and purpose.

Our Gilitics Media team, joined by community members, came together to install a stunning graffiti mural at our offices—an artistic reflection of everything we stand for: the Blue Economy, youth empowerment, and storytelling that drives change.

As we paint our walls with vision, we're also gearing up for something powerful...

This Friday, we host Her Vibe 2025 at the Blue Radio Hub—an initiative led by the amazing Cate Mukami , our very own Blue Radio Drive Show host. With a deep passion for empowering young women, Cate has been a vocal force for open conversations on sexual health, mental wellness, and the power of art and culture in achieving gender equality.

If you're looking for a space to connect, express, and grow—Her Vibe 2025 is the place to be.
