YML MONTHLY - JULY

"When Progress Looks Like Staying & The Quiet Bravery of Showing Up."

We’re closing out July — and if you’re reading this, it means you made it. That alone is worth pausing for.

In a world that rarely slows down, we want to honour that simple truth: You’re still here. You showed up. Whether you ran through this month or limped to the finish line, you did what many people couldn’t — and we’re proud of you for that.

This Month at YML...

We’ve been laying bricks — building a foundation for something bigger than us. Behind every design, every post, every playlist, every decision — there’s a conviction that what we’re doing matters. And that you matter.

We officially launched our website, built out our visual identity, created space for community through Instagram, and prepared for something we’ve been dreaming about for a long time — our first-ever merch drop.

But more than that, we’ve been sitting with the bigger question: “What does it mean to live out your faith in the day-to-day?”

Not just on the mountaintops or the big milestones — but in the quiet routines, the dry spells, and even the clouded days.

If July Taught Us Anything...

It’s that showing up consistently is a radical act. That God moves even when we don’t feel Him. And that Kingdom culture isn’t loud or flashy — sometimes, it’s simply faithfulness in the unseen.

Maybe this month you didn’t hit all your goals. Maybe you’ve been questioning your pace. Maybe you’ve been carrying silent battles. We see you — and we want to remind you:

Your life is still unfolding. Grace is still available. And you don’t have to perform to belong.

What We’re Excited About...

• Our first 50% off sale to celebrate the start of something beautiful

• New content that’s honest, thoughtful, and speaks to real life

• Opportunities to connect deeper with YOU, our community — whether you're in Kenya, the diaspora, or anywhere in between

We’re not just here to sell merch. We’re here to stand with a generation saying: There’s more to life than what we see. And we don’t have to hide who we are to be accepted.

To You, Reader...

Keep showing up.

Keep choosing softness in a hard world.

Keep making room for faith — even when it’s messy.

We’re with you.

Until next month,

Chebet & Bora
