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.
