WELCOME TO THE<br />
ENTERTAINMENT<br />
AFRICA MAGAZINE<br />
READERS!<br />
Hello! It’s with sincere happiness and<br />
excitement that I welcome you to the<br />
first issue of our <strong>Entertainment</strong> Africa<br />
Magazine. After countless hours of<br />
content building, brainstorm sessions,<br />
creative meetings and collaborative<br />
efforts, we are now here! It puts a big<br />
smile on my face to finally have something<br />
to share with you.<br />
This debut issue has taught me a lot.<br />
I always knew the African <strong>Entertainment</strong><br />
industry was rich and vibrant but<br />
researching and gathering from an “editor”<br />
perspective gave me a totally different<br />
view of our truly gifted community.<br />
It’s an experience kind of hard to explain,<br />
so the best word I can come up with is<br />
INCREDIBLE! The past year with the magazine has been filled with lots of love,<br />
support from great people and many memorable moments. The experience of<br />
helping create something bigger than all of us, makes me feel so proud.<br />
The <strong>Entertainment</strong> Africa Magazine was created to celebrate our diverse and<br />
amazing people who make the entertainment industry the powerhouse that it is.<br />
This particular issue delivers dynamic elements of fashion, music, interviews, products<br />
and talented artists, straight into your fingertips. There’s so much going on in the<br />
African entertainment business and it thrills me to continue to watch it grow. I’d love<br />
to see nothing more than for this magazine to expand and reach the highest heights.<br />
So without further ado, I encourage you to read, explore and enjoy your time with<br />
the pages. On with the feature presentation.<br />
