Six Years Strong: Celebrating 41 Issues of Where It Begins

Leave a comment

Wow—what a journey it has been! Six years ago, I set out to create something meaningful, a platform where stories could be told, journeys could be shared, and voices could be amplified. Today, I’m humbled and overjoyed to reflect on the milestone of my 41 magazine issue—a true testament to passion, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to storytelling.

The 41 issue of Where It Begins closes 2024 with an iconic cover featuring the phenomenal Ebony Steele. An award-winning radio and television personality, Ebony graces this edition with her brilliance, sharing insights into her career and unveiling her exciting new book. Having someone of her caliber headline this milestone issue feels like the perfect culmination of a truly remarkable year.

This issue isn’t just about celebrating Ebony Steele—it’s also a showcase of incredible talent. Inside these pages, you’ll find features on inspiring individuals who are making waves in their fields, breaking barriers, and sharing their testimonies with the world. Each story reminds me of the power of perseverance and the beauty of beginnings, reinforcing why I started this magazine in the first place.

2024 has been a whirlwind—a year of growth, challenges, and unforgettable moments. Each magazine issue this year has carried its own unique theme and purpose, from highlighting rising stars to shedding light on topics that matter deeply to me. And while this 41 edition marks the end of the year, it’s also a fresh beginning.

I can’t help but wonder what 2025 has in store. New faces, new stories, and new milestones are waiting to unfold. With every turn of the page and every new idea, Where It Begins continues to evolve, and I couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.

As I step into the new year, I do so with gratitude—grateful for the readers who’ve been on this journey with me, for the incredible individuals who’ve trusted me with their stories, and for the endless opportunities to inspire and be inspired.

Here’s to 2025 and all the magic it will bring. Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s continue to grow, dream, and create together!

Where It Begins 37th Issue with Amber Balcaen on Cover

Leave a comment

For six years now, I’ve poured my heart and soul into Where It Begins magazine, a platform dedicated to celebrating stories that inspire, journeys that empower, and voices that demand to be heard. It’s been a wild ride, each issue bringing new challenges, connections, and unforgettable moments. And here we are now—our 37th issue! Yes, 37! It’s incredible to reflect on how far this magazine has come and the impact it has made.

This issue is particularly special, as it’s all about talent and drive. The cover star? None other than Amber Balcaen, a professional race car driver on a mission. Amber is not just breaking barriers in a male-dominated sport—she’s shattering stereotypes, one race at a time. Her story is one of resilience, ambition, and sheer determination, and I couldn’t think of a more fitting person to headline an issue dedicated to the grit and passion that fuel success.

In this 37th edition of Where It Begins, we’re diving deep into what it truly means to have “the drive.” It’s not just about speed on a track; it’s about the internal motor that keeps us going when the odds are stacked against us. Amber’s journey is a testament to what happens when talent meets perseverance. She’s not just racing for herself—she’s paving the way for women in motorsports and inspiring a new generation to dream big and never settle.

This issue is packed with stories of individuals who embody that same spirit of determination and grit. From musicians climbing the charts to entrepreneurs breaking ground in their industries, this is a celebration of those who refuse to take their foot off the gas. It’s a tribute to the dreamers and the doers, the fighters and the trailblazers, and everyone in between who dares to chase what sets their soul on fire.

As I worked on this issue, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey with Where It Begins. Six years ago, I had a vision to create a space where stories could be shared, journeys could be highlighted, and people could feel seen. Every issue represents a labor of love, countless hours of brainstorming, interviewing, editing, and creating something that feels meaningful—not just to me, but to all of you who read it.

Amber’s story, and the stories of so many others featured in this issue, remind me why I started this magazine in the first place. It’s about celebrating the talent and the drive in all of us. It’s about where the journey begins and how we choose to keep going, even when the road gets rough.

So, here’s to six years of storytelling, to 37 issues of inspiration, and to the endless possibilities ahead. Buckle up and enjoy this issue—it’s going to be a thrilling ride!

A Journey of 6 Years: Celebrating the 36th Issue of Where It Begins

What started as a simple idea six years ago has blossomed into something extraordinary. Where It Begins magazine has become more than just a publication—it’s a platform for voices, stories, and journeys that deserve to be shared. Six years ago, I embarked on this adventure to create a space where everyone’s testimony could shine, a place where every individual could see their story as valuable and inspiring. Today, as I hold the 36th issue in my hands, I’m filled with gratitude and awe at how far this journey has taken me.

This milestone issue features the remarkable Chrissy Shorter-Arnold on the cover—a powerhouse of talent, resilience, and inspiration. Chrissy embodies everything Where It Begins stands for: the courage to dream, the strength to pursue it, and the grace to inspire others along the way. Her story is not just a testament to her achievements but a beacon for those navigating their own journeys.

Inside this issue, we also spotlight an incredible array of talents—artists, creators, and visionaries who are shaping their industries and the world. Each feature is a reminder of why I began this magazine: to highlight the dreamers, the doers, and the believers who inspire us to aim higher and dream bigger.

Reflecting on these six years, I’m reminded of the countless interviews, the unforgettable covers, and the beautiful connections made along the way. Every issue represents hours of brainstorming, creating, and curating, but most importantly, it represents the lives and stories that make this magazine special. From the first issue to the 36th, Where It Begins has been a labor of love—a passion project that continues to evolve and grow.

This journey has not been mine alone. It’s been enriched by the readers who flip through these pages, the contributors who pour their hearts into their work, and the cover stars who trust me to share their stories authentically. Together, we’ve built something truly magical.

Here’s to six years of storytelling and 36 incredible issues. Here’s to every person who has graced these pages and every reader who has been inspired by them. Most importantly, here’s to the future—because this is just the beginning.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Let’s continue to celebrate, inspire, and share where it all begins.

Six years ago, I set out on a mission to create something that could inspire, empower, and highlight the incredible journeys of people from all walks of life. What started as a simple idea to share testimonies and stories has now blossomed into a powerful platform that uplifts voices and celebrates greatness. This month marks a significant milestone—our 35th issue of Where It Begins!

Walil is not just any photojournalist—he’s an award-winning visionary who captures the world through his lens with unmatched artistry. His work speaks volumes, reminding us of the beauty, resilience, and truth that exist in the stories we tell.

But the 35th issue is more than just a cover story. This edition, themed Manifest Your Destiny: How Leaders Influence and Lead, is packed with exceptional talent and remarkable individuals who are walking testaments to the power of dreams, dedication, and determination. From trailblazers in their industries to those quietly making an impact, these are the leaders who inspire us to chase our own destinies.

Over the years, Where It Begins has become a platform for sharing not only success stories but also the grit, struggle, and perseverance that come with pursuing greatness. It’s about celebrating the journey, not just the destination, and showcasing that every testimony is worth sharing.

As I reflect on six incredible years, I’m filled with gratitude for the countless interviews, the late nights spent editing, and the opportunities to connect with such phenomenal individuals.
