And considering we Kenyans weren’t taught polite drinking, how do you ensure you’re not only surviving but thriving through the night? Let’s dig into the ultimate pregame plan;
Foundation
Before you dive into the night, let’s talk strategy—food strategy. With Kenyan parties known for their spirited drinking (because who knows what light drinking is, right?), lining your stomach is not just wise; it’s essential.
– Carbs are Your Best Friends: Think chapati, ugali, or your favorite pasta dish. These carbs are not just tasty; they’re your alcohol-absorbing superheroes, providing a slow-release energy source that keeps you going.
– Protein Packs a Punch: Grilled chicken, nyama choma, or lentil dishes are not only mouthwatering but also help slow the absorption of alcohol, keeping you in that happy buzz zone longer.
– Fruits and Veggies for the Win: Don’t underestimate the power of some good ol’ fruits and veggies. Avocados, bananas, and oranges are packed with potassium and vital nutrients to help keep those hangovers at bay.
– Hydration Heroes: Between bites, don’t forget to sip on some water or throw in coconut water to keep hydrated. It’s the secret weapon every Kenyan partygoer needs.
The Playlist to End All Playlists
With your foundation solidly laid, it’s time to dial up the vibes with a playlist that screams “sherehe ready”.
– Afrobeat to Start the Beat: Kick off with some Fela Kuti or Burna Boy to ease into the night with rhythms that resonate with the soul.
– Gengetone Grooves: No Kenyan pregame is complete without a dose of Gengetone. It’s raw, it’s real, and it gets everyone hyped.
– Bongo Flava for the Flavor: Add some Tanzanian love into the mix with hits from Diamond Platnumz or AliKiba, perfect for when the night starts to feel magical.
– Reggae to Mellow Out: As you edge closer to heading out, let some Bob Marley or Chronixx mellow the mood, ensuring everyone’s feeling irie and in tune.
Pre-Sherehe Games to Get the Party Started
Now, what’s a pregame without games? It’s the laughter, the camaraderie, and sometimes, the ridiculous competitiveness that sets the tone for an epic night.
– Kings: With a deck of cards and drinks at the ready, navigate the rules of Kings, where every draw brings a new challenge or a hearty laugh.
– Never Have I Ever: Perfect for uncovering secrets or just getting to know your friends on a whole new level, this game is a surefire way to spice things up.
– Beer Pong: It’s not just a game; it’s a pre-sherehe sport. Aim, throw, and let the friendly rivalry fuel the pregame excitement.
As the laughter echoes and the playlist winds down, you’re not just ready kupiga sherehe; you’re set to make the night legendary. With your belly full, your spirits high, and the bond with your crew stronger than ever, the night is yours to conquer. So, eat well, play hard, and let the music guide you to an unforgettable experience.

Spider-Man 4 Set To Swing Into Theaters In 2026
Sony has confirmed that Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland, will swing into theaters on July 24, 2026, with production set to kick off next year.
Holland, who has brought Peter Parker to life in six previous films, will reunite with screenwriters Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, the minds behind 2021’s blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home. Destin Daniel Cretton, known for his work on Shang-Chi, will direct, marking a fresh collaboration for the beloved franchise.
Excitement for Spider-Man 4 comes as Holland also joins the cast of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming and highly secretive project, set to debut just a week earlier. Holland revealed on Good Morning America that he accepted Nolan’s offer “sight unseen”—with no knowledge of the storyline—reflecting his trust in the acclaimed director. “When that call came, it felt like déjà vu to when I got the Spider-Man role,” he shared, calling it the “phone call of a lifetime.” The experience, he said, is “an amazing thing for me. I’m super proud and incredibly excited.”
Holland’s enthusiasm for Spider-Man 4 is shared by his girlfriend and co-star Zendaya, who plays MJ in the franchise. The couple could barely contain their excitement after reading the first draft of the new film’s script, with Holland describing them “bouncing around the room” in anticipation of what lies ahead.
Fans can look forward to a thrilling 2026, with back-to-back releases from both Spider-Man 4 and Nolan’s mysterious new project, giving audiences a double feature of Holland’s talent across two very different cinematic worlds.

Black Excellence: Pharrell Williams, ASAP Rocky, Colman Domingo And Lewis Hamilton To Co-Chair 2025 Met Gala
Pharrell Williams will co-chair the highly anticipated 2025 Met Gala in New York, which will explore race relations through fashion.
Joining him are rapper ASAP Rocky, actor Colman Domingo, and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, with basketball legend LeBron James as the honorary chair. Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, will oversee the event.
The exhibition, titled Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, will celebrate Black men’s fashion and the significance of Black dandyism, inspired by Monica Miller’s book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. This theme highlights how Black dandyism, originally imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe, evolved into a powerful expression of creativity and identity within the African diaspora.
At a press conference on October 9, Pharrell, also the creative director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, emphasized the importance of recognizing the culture that emerged from the African diaspora. “This exhibit centered on Black dandyism feels like a full-circle moment for me. It’s truly a dream come true,” he said.
The Met Gala, traditionally held on the first Monday in May, has transformed into a global fashion spectacle under Wintour’s leadership since the 1990s. Known for its extravagant red carpet, the gala raises funds for the Costume Institute; last year’s event brought in an impressive $22 million, with tickets priced at $75,000 each. As the gala approaches, excitement builds for a celebration of Black culture, style, and meaningful dialogue.
