Glam Africa: The Revolutionary Edition (2019)
2019 has been a special year for so many reasons, and Glam Africa is bringing the year - and the decade - to a close with our most ambitious edition ever: The Revolutionary Edition. In this edition, the reality TV phenomenon is front-and-centre, with Love Island star Ovie Soko joining us for his first ever cover shoot, as well as a fashion cover featuring Big Brother Naija and Dancing on Ice stars, power couple Mike and Perri Edwards. To pull off this one-of-a-kind issue, we said sayonara to our in-house editorial team (temporarily) and enlisted a diverse group of talented, young content creators for our first ever ‘digital takeover’, which sees online personalities including bloggers, presenters and YouTubers adapting their digital expertise for print media. Very few publications can boast such a diverse range of content, and whatever it is you're looking for, GA has got you covered. We might as well have called this ‘The Egalitarian Issue’, because there really is something for everyone.

SOLIAT BADA on familial bonds
"When it comes to Mariam and me, one
thing that strengthens our bond is trust.
It's knowing that there's somebody I can
go to for absolutely anything and that I
know 100% has my back. She's my cousin,
yes, but she's also my best friend. I can
laugh with her, joke with her and she's
incredibly loyal. It's a bond that really is
just priceless."
MARIAM TIMMER on sharing
African prints with her mother
"For me, the colours of my ankara
determine the kind of vibe I'm going
to give off that day, it determines your
mood. If my outfit is very colourful I just
know I'm going to be poppin' that day.
When I was younger it was difficult finding
people who I related to well, in terms of
fashion. But growing up I was able to mix
the things I had in my closet with different
prints, ankara fabrics and my mum's classic
vintage designer outfits. My mum is a very
fashionable person so I grew up looking up
to her in terms of fashion, hair and makeup.
She really birthed my love for African
prints and ankara."
