Welcome to your local magazine Dear neighbours When I first started E9 Magazine (as LoveEast was), I remember one of my interviewees saying "what will you do when you run out of celebrities to interview?" I guess he thought people would only be interested in reading about famous people. I told him... "that's not what the magazine is about" and that East London, more than any other part of the country, was so full of interesting people that "celebrities" weren't on my radar. I haven't changed my mind about that. In the three years since the magazine was born, we have featured the most interesting and inspiring people. Some were famous, some not. The important thing is that we got the chance to shout about the great work they do. This edition is no different. Lemn Sissay, MBE, is probably known to you. He could be called a celebrity by some, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want to be described that way. He is an inspiring and amazing human being who is making a huge contribution to community life... and not only with his poetry. I'm grateful that he's part of this edition. Find out all about his wonderful Christmas Dinner initiative on p6. We also have some pages devoted to shopping and you don't have to go far to do it. East London's makers and independent businesses are the best places to shop for gifts, so keep it local if you can. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!
