Welcome to your local magazine<br />
Dear neighbours<br />
If you are asking, 'Who are you and what have<br />
you done with Julie?" let me explain.<br />
I N S I D E<br />
My name is Karen Ay (Kaz for short) and I'm a<br />
graphic designer with a love of both East London<br />
and editorial design. I've lived in Hackney, Tower<br />
Hamlets and now, Newham, and I also produce<br />
EastEdge Magazine, a similar publication inspired<br />
by LoveEast and with a focus on Newham.<br />
I first met Julie when I was just starting EastEdge,<br />
and she has been an invaluable resource, help,<br />
cheerleader and friend ever since. I'm sure that<br />
those of you who know her will heartily agree that<br />
she is one A-Ma-Zing woman!<br />
As some of you may also know, Julie made<br />
the decision earlier this year to step back from<br />
LoveEast. As you can imagine, I was honoured<br />
when she approached me to take LoveEast on,<br />
and it didn't take much convincing to agree.<br />
So here we are. It's often the case that<br />
community magazines forget about focusing on<br />
the many interesting people, places and events<br />
that make up their readership; I believe LoveEast<br />
stands apart because it does the opposite by<br />
showcasing exactly those things. That's down<br />
to Julie's vision and her commitment to staying<br />
true to that vision. By creating, nurturing and<br />
establishing LoveEast into what it is today, she<br />
has given us all something quite special, unique<br />
and valuable, and I aim to continue along that<br />
path.<br />
I owe a great debt of gratitude to Julie for all her<br />
help and encouragement; I hope I can do her<br />
proud and I hope you continue to enjoy LoveEast.<br />
